Résumé:
Pritzker Prize–winning architect Christian de Portzamparc is renowned for bold yet artful architecture that is at once sensitive to its context while at the same time being novel, adventurous, and frequently exciting. One57, the soaring residential skyscraper in New York, with unparalleled views of Central Park, is perhaps his most famous building in the United States, but his work ranges widely across the globe, from an extraordinary handkerchief puff–shaped boutique for Christian Dior in Seoul to a low-winged arabesque of a building for the wine producer Cheval Blanc to a mysterious temple of the modern for Casarts in Casablanca.

Résumé:
In the 1960s, the city of Halifax demolished the black community of Africville, ostensibly as part of a program of urban renewal and 'slum clearance'. In the 1980s, the city created a park on the empty site, shich has since become a place of protest and commemoration for black citizens. As yet the city has not issued a formal apology to Africville residents and has paid no further compensation. This book examines the history of the eviction of a community from its space, examining accounts from a variety of sources: urban planning texts, city council documents, news media, and academic reports.

Résumé:
Similar to the way we might interact with fallen leaves, blossoms, and plants encountered on the street or in the park, the images in ‘Plant Scans’ are not reproduced to scale and not bound in any specific order. This means that every copy has differently ordered pages and is therefore unique. The book also comes with a small magnifying sheet, allowing the aspiring botanist in all of us to better observe the minute details found in this collection of organic scans. Singapore-based graphic designers Jamie Yeo and Gideon Kong are responsible for the concept and design of this series.

Résumé:
The positive effects of urban green spaces are well-known, ranging from the promotion of health, support of biodiversity to climate regulation. However, the practical implementation of urban landscapes is less discussed. How can we make these spaces functional, economically feasible and inclusive, especially as cities become more diverse? The publication explores strategies to reconcile the various demands, such as food production, resilience and nature conservation. Indeed, urban landscapes have to be restorative, ecological and aesthetically pleasing at the same time. This is a particular challenge in high-density cities like Singapore, Seoul or New York where space is a scarce commodity. The continuing growth of the worldwide urban population imbues the topic with a special urgency.
