Résumé:
This book on urban design extends and develops the widely accepted 'compact city' solution. It provides a design proposal for a new kind of sustainable urban landscape: Urban Agriculture. By growing food within an urban rather than exclusively rural environment, urban agriculture would reduce the need for industrialized production, packaging and transportation of(...)

By growing food within an urban rather than exclusively rural environment, urban agriculture would reduce the need for industrialized production, packaging and transportation of foodstuffs to the city dwelling consumers. The revolutionary and innovative concepts put forth in this book have potential to shape the future of our cities quality of life within them. Urban design is shown in practice through international case studies and the arguments presented are supported by quantified economic, environmental and social justifications.

Landmark projects by well-known architects, such as Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners' Eden Project in Cornwall, Daniel Libeskind's Imperial War Museum North in Manchester and Foster and Partners' tower at 30 St Mary Axe in London, feature alongside the work of younger, smaller practices, including many based outside the capital. New Architecture in Britain makes a forceful contribution to the continuing debate about the role of architecture in forging a new environment and underpinning the growth of a healthy society.

Until then, war, as described by Clausewitz and practiced by Napoleon, involved attacking the adversary's vital function first. Using poison gas signaled(...)

Résumé:
According to Peter Sloterdijk, the twentieth century started on a specific day and place: April 22, 1915, at Ypres in Northern France. That day, the German army used a chlorine gas meant to exterminate indiscriminately. Until then, war, as described by Clausewitz and practiced by Napoleon, involved attacking the adversary's vital function first. Using poison gas signaled the passage from classical war to terrorism. This terror from the air inaugurated an era in which the main idea was no longer to target the enemy's body, but their environment. From then on, what would be attacked in wartime as well as in peacetime would be the very conditions necessary for life.

Her buildings are intended to add something of themselves, something unique even, in their relationship with the human environment. This is borne out by the striking 'Red Rascals' on the southern rim of Almere, the storage building of the Netherlands Maritime Museum, and Aquartis at Entrepotdok in Amsterdam. In this monograph twelve of van der Pol's most noteworthy projects are singled out and illustrated with photographs, plans and drawings. It also features a considerable number of watercolours by the architect. Two essays describe and analyse van der Pol's work.

Systematic, comprehensive and up-to-date: a practical handbook and reference work on all aspects of building technology. Saving resources and cutting costs, protecting the environment and using renewable energies are the criteria which are important for modern buildings, and as such, designers today face the complex challenges of ”integral planning”, demanding the interaction of various disciplines to create a building with optimum efficiency whilst saving material and running costs. Active factors such as construction, building skins, layout of rooms, and exterior space should take up as little of the internal technical units as possible and all passive measures should be exploited to the maximum.

Résumé:
"The Earth that modernism built" traces the rise of planetary design to an imperialist discourse about the influence of the earthly environment on humanity. Kenny Cupers argues that to understand how the earth became an object of design, we need to radically shift the terms of analysis. Rather than describing how new design ideas and practices traveled and transformed people and places across the globe, this book interrogates the politics of life and earth underpinning this process. It demonstrates how approaches to modern housing, landscape design, and infrastructure planning are indebted to an understanding of planetary and human ecology fueled by settler colonialism and imperial ambition.

Furthermore, the Barcelona-based studio TAKK works on new forms of domesticity to address the different natural and seasonal rhythms from an economy of means.

Crisis implies the questioning of beliefs and habits, it demands adjustment in perception and in modes of action. So it is in this sixth installment of Verb that we take the opportunity to widen our angle of view. Having previously explored the positive impact of innovation and technological progress on the built environment, Verb now confronts underlying questions and doubts regarding current models of urban development, in the three chapters 'places', 'positions', and 'projects', including contributions by Shigeru Ban, Markus Miessen, Chantal Mouffe, Teddy Cruz, Takuya Onishi, Foreign Office Architects, and many more.
