Résumé:
In the course of the 20th century it became increasingly clear that architecture is by no means a timeless medium. The late 1960s in particular were marked by research into techniques that would allow buildings to be adapted to suit the requirements of the day. This often led to buildings that were programmatically neutral and characterless. The new challenge facing architects is designing for the unknown, for the unpredictable. 'Form follows function' is giving way to concepts like polyvalence and semi-permanence. New spatial and constructional structures generate freedom, taking time as their departure-point. Alongside theoretical reflections on such time-based architecture, this book illustrates countless projects involving the time factor, ranging from Shigeru Ban's Naked house, an apartment building in Malmö by Gert Wingardh and Kas Oosterhuis's Emotive house to OMA's mixed-use complex 'De Rotterdam'.

Résumé:
Rich in images, "Asking Questions" offers a kaleidoscopic perspective of ten years of architectural design at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. The Gerrit Rietveld Academy works to a unique educational concept, as its students are encouraged to approach assignments in their own way. This is why its graduates cannot be called straightforward interior designers. Asking Questions paints a picture of the academy's conceptual approach to architecture through a historical perspective of its education, student statistics, an inventory of outstanding study assignments and an overview of work done by graduates once they had left the academy. Since then, they have been active in all branches of the design industry.

Résumé:
"The World: Who Wants It?" proposes a concrete plan, albeit satirical, for re-establishing world peace. Set in the near present, the $100 billion that has been pledged by the United States to address the world's wrongs is used to advocate consumptive restraint and to seek new American Values, thus lessening the fury of the Third World against America's apparent wastage, misuse of resources, vice, and militaristic bombast. In this vision of a new world order, International policy largely focuses on the rebuilding of the city of Jerusalem so as to accommodate all the hope and aspirations of the three Abrahamic faiths, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. The starting point for Ben Nicholson's restructuring of the world is that what was remarkable about the World Trade Center is that its given name purported to suggest that the building was the center of world trade. When the towers were removed they took along with them a myriad of links and responsibilities that course throughout the globe, touching every aspect of life. It is ultimately immaterial what the shape and size of the rebuilt World Trade Center will be, unless the whole world is simultaneously rethought and restructured along with the reconstruction. What would the new world order be?

Résumé:
SPOON is a comprehensive view of new product design, presenting the work of 100 international designers who have emerged on an international platform in the last five years, selected by 10 critics, designers and entrepreneurs who are highly respected for their informed opinion on the international contemporary design scene. It provides a unique opportunity to see a diverse collection of recent design projects that includes a whole range of objects: furniture, lighting, tools, utensils, high-tech products, machinery and so on. The designers are listed in alphabetical order featuring two double-page spreads for each, with recent, exemplary products accompanied with sketches, drawings, computer renderings, model and prototypes that help to explain, together with the extensive captions, the process behind each project. A short explanatory text by the curator explains the designers’ work and the characteristics that make his/her projects forward-looking and ground breaking. SPOON also features, at the end of the book, 10 ‘classic’, industrially manufactured product designs, chosen by the curators as best examples of the concept of ‘good design’. These ‘classics’ are accompanied by text written by the curators that explains their choice of designers and generally what they see to be the concept of ‘good design’. SPOON takes its place in a series of surveys identifying 100 of the most interesting, cutting-edge practitioners of key art forms. Earlier surveys include cream and Fresh Cream, for contemporary art, 10x10 for architecture and BLINK for photography.

Résumé:
"Architecture of the real" is a book about both architectural design and photography. Architectural design because it focuses on the work of twelve practices and turns a critical eye on contemporary French production. Photography because it presents atypical images made by photographers who are active in contemporary art, and who propose a new realist view of archtiecture - since the buildings are photographed in their inhabited state and everyday context.
