Résumé:
"A matter of chance" explores the contemporary use of the photographic medium as a recording tool in support of scientific knowledge. In the age of screen culture, the volume investigates photography’s dual nature as both evidence and construction, examining the relationship between humans and their environment; their desire to control, measure and catalogue it, ultimately transforming it into a marketable product. The book is modelled according to the logic of an atlas and combines different photographic registers, including views of buildings in Silicon Valley’s technology hubs and data centres, images of scientific experiments taken in laboratories or studios, alongside a body of scientific archival materials sourced online from governmental institutions, research agencies and educational establishments.

Résumé:
A book for all the senses, exuding the flowery scent of wallflower, tufted violet, vanilla, calamint, lavender, and sage. Olafur Eliasson (*1967 in Copenhagen) is one of the most famous artists of his generation. In his installations, the Icelandic artist deals with aspects of land art, transplanting his contemporary interpretations of it to museums and thoughtfully planned park settings. The scented tunnel created for Wolfsburg, Germany's motor city, elucidates a fascinating interplay of nature and technology, where multiple sensory impressions combine to form a whole in the observer's perception. This publication documents Dufttunnel throughout an entire season. The various blooming phases of different plants are accompanied by scientific and art-historical interpretations of the Dufttunnel phenomenon.

"If...Then : Architectural Speculation" is the sixth in an annual series of publications featuring work by talented architects selected by The Architectural League of New York's Young Architects Competition jury. This year, entrants were asked to explore the process of architectural speculation: the act of imagination that precedes every work, projecting future events in a space that does not yet exist. The winners of the competition - Fernando Romero; Tobias Lundquist; Anthony Piermarini and Hansy L. Better Barraza; Keith Mitnick, Mireille Roddier, and Stewart Hicks; Tom Wiscombe; and Gail Peter Borden - take on this challenge and creatively address the social and political assumptions surrounding architectural production through a rethinking of site, program, form, technology, and materials.

Résumé:
A new generation of architects is pushing digital technology to its limits and continues a tradition of "organic" architecture, often labeled "blobitecture." A few architects in the pre-digital era anticipated the shape of today's sleek and supple buildings, but computers have helped make many of today's large, truly innovative architectural projects buildable. Up until now, the new generation's architectural work has been overshadowed by that of the previous generation. This volume defines the next generation and captures the latest trends in architecture it has put forward. Among the thirty architects featured are Greg Lynn, ShoP, Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos, Wes Jones, Lindy Roy, Foreign Office Architects, Rem Koolhaas, and Frank Gehry.

Résumé:
"Tall wood buildings" have been at the foreground of innovative building practice in urban contexts for a number of years. From London to Stockholm, from Vancouver to Melbourne timber buildings of up to 20 storeys have been built, are under construction or being considered. This dynamic trend was enabled by developments in the material itself, prefabrication and more flexibility in fire regulations. The low CO2 footprint of wood - often regionally sourced - is another strong argument in its favour. This publication explains the typical construction types such as panel systems, frame and hybrid systems. An international selection of 13 case studies is documented in detail with many specially prepared construction drawings, demonstrating the range of the technology.
