This abrupt change in the city s organization proved a starting point for photographer Bettina Lockemann's newest project. Lockemann's photographic images reveal streets too broad, disrupting the flow of space for any use other than driving, restricting the natural interaction of foot traffic and public contact. From the Periphery is a challenging body of work that explores architectural norms and stimulates the rethinking of our urban environments.

Résumé:
First built in Europe and grandly imported to the United States in the mid-nineteenth century, the classic multiway boulevard has been in decline for many years, victim of a narrowly focused approach to street design that views unencumbered vehicular traffic flow as the highest priority. The American preoccupation with destination and speed has made multiway boulevards increasingly rare as artifacts of the urban landscape. This book reintroduces the boulevard, tree-lined and with separate realms for through traffic and for slow-paced vehicular-pedestrian movement, as an important and often crucial feature of both historic and contemporary cities. It presents more than fifty boulevards—-as varied as Avenue Montaigne, in Paris; C. G. Road, in Ahmedabad, India; and The Esplanade, in Chico, California--celebrating their usefulness and beauty. It discusses their history and evolution, the misconceptions that led to their near-demise in the United States, and their potential as a modern street type. Based on wide research, "The Boulevard Book" examines the safety of these streets and offers design guidelines for professionals, scholars, and community decision makers. Extensive plans, cross sections, and perspective drawings permit visual comparisons. The book shows how multiway boulevards respond to many issues that are central to urban life, including livability, mobility, safety, interest, economic opportunity, mass transit, and open space.

Résumé:
Drawing on fifteen years of field research in Las Vegas, anthropologist Natasha Dow Schüll shows how the mechanical rhythm of electronic gambling pulls players into a trancelike state they call the "machine zone," in which daily worries, social demands, and even bodily awareness fade away. Once in the zone, gambling addicts play not to win but simply to keep playing, for as long as possible?even at the cost of physical and economic exhaustion. In continuous machine play, gamblers seek to lose themselves while the gambling industry seeks profit. Schüll describes the strategic calculations behind game algorithms and machine ergonomics, casino architecture and "ambience management," player tracking and cash access systems?all designed to meet the market's desire for maximum "time on device." Her account moves from casino floors into gamblers' everyday lives, from gambling industry conventions and Gamblers Anonymous meetings to regulatory debates over whether addiction to gambling machines stems from the consumer, the product, or the interplay between the two. ''Addiction by design'' is a compelling inquiry into the intensifying traffic between people and machines of chance, offering clues to some of the broader anxieties and predicaments of contemporary life. At stake in Schüll's account of the intensifying traffic between people and machines of chance is a blurring of the line between design and experience, profit and loss, control and compulsion.

Résumé:
Soon after its inception in 1928, as part of Public Works, the Department of Physical Planning began work on Van Eesteren's General Extension Plan for Amsterdam (AUP). Issued in 1934, the AUP can be regarded as Amsterdam's first master plan. It fixed the broad lines of city policy on spatial development in a vision statement on the city. Vision statements and the plans they spawn are necessarily centred on the future, but with hindsight such master plans tell us more about the time when they were made. This certainly holds true for the eight such plans that were to follow the AUP. The most recent, 'Opting for Urbanity', was completed in 2003, by the Physical Planning Department. Something new, whether this is a residential estate or a business park, is invariably at the expense of something existing. Seventy-five years after the AUP was issued, the fitting out of urban space for dwelling, working, traffic and recreation is still a subject of discussion. How the space is filled in determines the urban dynamic. This book is not just about the Amsterdam masterplans but more particularly about three-quarters of a century of spatial development in that city. Words, images and a series of maps specially made for the occasion clearly show what has been happening in the inner areas and garden city suburbs of Amsterdam, the urban expansions and consolidations, the plans for traffic and transport, and for greenspace and recreation.
