Résumé:
As a tendency toward formalism returns to architecture, a number of practitioners are investigating the outer limits of tectonic expression. Vanguard architects are extending the boundaries of conventional construction to respond specifically to programmatic and site requirements. Capturing this dynamic work, "Radical Tectonics" presents four practices whose buildings push poetic construction to new extremes. All in their own way and according to local sensibility and conditions, Gülnter Behnisch (Stuttgart), Enric Miralles (Barcelona), Patkau Architects (Vancouver), and Mecanoo (Delft) focus on the art of construction and innovative craftsmanship. From Behnisch's contextual awareness of particular social and political environments to Miralles's building as land form, from Patkau's funky vernacular to Mecanoo's playful manipulation of program and landscape, these studies confront architecture's very nature with vigor and provocation.

Résumé:
Millions of people in New York and New Jersey consider the Hudson River as familiar as their own backyard yet only have a superficial knowledge of the landscape and land use of this river's waterfront. This book deepens readers' understanding with an aerial portrait of the river’s shores from the Battery, at the southernmost tip of Manhattan, to the river's origin near Albany. Focusing on man-made sites rarely seen by those who travel along the river’s banks — some of which can only be seen aerially — the book showcases the shore area’s vanishing (or vanished) avenues, prisons, power plants, quarries, parks, condos, and redevelopments.

Résumé:
The Herning Museum of Contemporary Art (HEART) in Herning, Denmark, inhabits a new building designed by American architect Steven Holl, who was drawn to the project by the institution's collection of works by the Italian Conceptual artist Piero Manzoni. Holl's complex museum is surrounded by a landscape of hills and ponds that meshes with his structures; the single-story building itself, with its natural light and innovative roof construction, refers to the formal vocabulary of the 1960s factory opposite. In reference to its origins, an overhead view of the museum recalls outstretched shirtsleeves while the façade resembles wrinkled fabric.

Résumé:
Moore, Lyndon, Turnbull & Whitaker was established in Berkeley, California, in 1962. Soon after, the architects began working on The Sea Ranch, a large development on the northern California coast that runs from the ocean’s edge, with its protected beaches and cliffs, to a coastal meadow stretching the entire length of the acreage. The firm was charged with developing a master plan for The Sea Ranch that would be aesthetically refined and have minimal impact on the surrounding natural landscape. Local materials such as redwood timber were used in the construction of the residential units and recreational buildings, which together express the era’s particularly Californian modernism.

Résumé:
A persistent narrative portrays the ocean as an uninhabited space. However, centuries of commercial trade and an expanding network of infrastructures above and below the water’s surface have long challenged this view, prompting researchers to conceptualise the sea as an urbanised environment. While the sea is a global arena where architecture, ecology, infrastructure, and politics intersect, its spatial dynamics remain largely uncharted. In a time of planetary urbanisation, ''The Ocean as Ground: An Offshore Theory on Urbanisation'' explores oceans as urban spaces by unveiling forgotten histories, projects, and narratives. How might we understand land urbanisation starting from the oceans? Through the conceptual lens of “ground”, the book invites readers to rethink how we perceive, design, and inhabit the spaces of both land and sea.
