Résumé:
"Parallel Cities" examines the history of the multilevel city with a focus on elevated pedestrian systems as a recurrent concept in urban planning and design. The book chronicles the evolution and migration of this concept from 19th-century French social utopian thinkers and 20th-century Soviet Constructivist architectural circles to its incubation in postwar London, its theorization by members of CIAM and Team 10, and its eventual dissemination to North America and Asia, where extensive systems were built in cities such as Minneapolis, Calgary and Hong Kong.

Résumé:
Arquitectonica is a major presence on the world architectural stage, with offices in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Manila, Dubai, Lima, and São Paulo.

Principals Bernardo Fort-Brescia and Laurinda Spear continue to this day exploring and pushing the limits of materials and design with their innovative use of geometry, pattern, and color.

Objet controversé, l’infrastructure est l’entrée par laquelle cet ouvrage interroge la production imaginaire et concrète de l’espace urbain. L’étude de trois métropoles – New York, Paris, Hong Kong – permet d’approfondir les rapports au temps qu’entretiennent les villes et leurs infrastructures, construites pour durer alors même que leurs fonctions sont destinées à évoluer. Réflexion sur l’urbanisme comme savoir et pratique, cet ouvrage interroge la valeur des futurs projetés et propose un changement de perspective face aux transformations qui s’imposent aux métropoles. Ancrées dans l’histoire des villes, les infrastructures dialoguent avec les défis du présent.

Résumé:
We Own the City examines the ways in which urban dwellers--who used to be merely "clients" of development--are taking ownership of their neighborhoods. Bottom-up initiatives are cropping up around the world, but institutions, government offices and developers often find themselves uncertain how to collaborate with and empower these impassioned citizens and communities. Offering solutions to this disconnect, this book analyzes this international trend through five case studies, focusing on Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Moscow, New York and Taipei, each of which discusses different dynamics and intensities of citizens' redevelopment processes.
