Résumé:
As building materials and technologies advance, architects are creating new kinds of urban environments. Among the innovations showcased in this book that are contributing to new architectural forms are parametric modeling enabled by computer-aided technology, environmentally friendly building skins, and HOPSCAs - a hybrid building type - that can house hotels, offices, parking, shopping, a convention center, and apartments under one roof. The dream buildings in this book reflect a changing architectural and cultural environment, and the processes that turn these concepts from vision to reality will open a new chapter in architectural history.

Résumé:
This instalment investigates two main themes: Live/Work Hybrids and Recovering Wood. In the first, seven small office projects are examined that raise questions about how working space will be organized in the future. With advancements in communications technology, Fraher Architects, Carlo Bagliani, Akitoshi Ukai and others demonstrate the office block’s possible demise. Also, wood is back in fashion. Projects by Shigeru Ban, Gensler, HAMR and more show its recovery as a contemporary building material, revealing the motives for this renewed interest, like technological discoveries and softening the encounter between our natural and built environment.

Résumé:
Constantly changing technology and growing communication networks give us ever more choices and options. However, every technological innovation has its counterpart: catastrophe looms. Dread is an essential, potentially productive element of our consciousness, and a defining characteristic of the present-day human condition. However dark and fatalistic its connotations, through its dialectical coupling of caution and transgression, paralysis and overdrive, it allows imagining the world differently, offering glimpses of the ineffable. This book is a peripheral exploration of dread wherein contributors reflect upon the concept’s potentialities from a contemporary viewpoint.
