Résumé:
This facsimile edition of Ventura’s original book, first published in 1975, provides a colorful, educational, and unique tour of major world cities. Delight in each city as you look for the London policeman holding up traffic, children shoveling the heavy snow of the side streets in Moscow, clerks waiting on customers in a huge Parisian department store, or the steam rising from the Chinese food cooking on a tiny houseboat in Hong Kong. The finely drawn illustrations and humorous details are a celebration of the many ways people live, work, travel, and have fun in the major cities of the world.

Résumé:
Until around 1990, Shanghai was China’s premier but sluggish industrial center. Now at the beginning of the twenty-first century, the joint impact of global forces and state power has turned Shanghai into a dynamic megacity. Shanghai’s remarkable growth in economy, infrastructure, and global presence has prompted questions about the Shanghai “miracle.” This collection places the city’s unprecedented rise in a rare comparative examination of U.S. cities, as well as with Asian megacities Singapore and Hong Kong, providing a nuanced account of how Shanghai’s politics, economy, society, and space have been transformed by macro- and micro-level forces.

Résumé:
Conceived as a record that delves deeper into a special section of the Biennale Architettura 2021, this publication comprises essays and photo essays that pertain to specific geographic locations. While the main exhibition is primarily organized in five parts that contemplate a new spatial contract at five scales—as diverse beings, as new households, as emerging communities, across borders and as one planet—this volume showcases analytical examples of how we come together at all five of them in and around Venice, as well as in Addis Ababa, Beirut, India, Rio de Janeiro, Hong Kong, New York, Prishtina and more.

Résumé:
After several failed attempts, Kowloon Walled City was finally demolished 20 years ago, leaving behind a legacy of fascination that continues to grow, fuelled in part by the extraordinary community’s many urban legends. Designed and edited by Greg Girard and Ian Lambot, the team behind City of Darkness: Life in Kowloon Walled City, this new publication questions those myths and explores the reality behind the Walled City’s extraordinary architecture and development. Through photographs, drawings and documents, many previously unpublished, plus an extended article by Hong Kong-based writer and journalist Fionnuala McHugh, the full story is revealed.

Résumé:
In this second volume, Atelier Bow-Wow shifts from studying the behavioural characteristics of the window typology to investigating their origins, history, and relationships. How humans experience encounters with each other and the spaces inside and outside buildings is key to deciphering how combinations of context and environmental factors lead to various functions and typologies in different regions. From Belgium, France, Germany, and Spain, to Vietnam, Hong Kong, China, and Japan, the quest spans a variety of buildings and streetscapes, encompassing both the contemporary and historic. The result is a remarkable collection of photographs and analyses.
