Résumé:
The members of J. Mayer H. Architects, founded in Berlin in 1996 by Jürgen Mayer, have already won a number of awards for their extraordinary work--for example, their very first building won the Mies van der Rohe Emerging Architect Prize in 2003. Their structures bulge and pop inorganically in a style that aims to go, as Mayer puts it, "beyond the blob." In recent years(...)

Their structures bulge and pop inorganically in a style that aims to go, as Mayer puts it, "beyond the blob." In recent years the firm has created a furor with attention-getting buildings such as the new commons for the Universität Karlsruhe, the ADA 1 offices in Hamburg and the Metropol Parasol, a gigantic structure for the marketplace in the heart of old Seville. Edited by Henry Urbach, this is the first book to present J. Mayer H. Architects' entire oeuvre, tracking the firm's constructions from the research stage through design to project development and culminating in the actual building itself.

Résumé:
This book explores the formative years of the New City of Toronto: between 1995 and 2005, the period just before, during, and after metropolitan amalgamation. The authors analyze the political, economic, social, and environmental challenges of living in, and governing, a major metropolitan city region that bills itself as a multicultural, world-class city. The authors have a clear message: the city and its surrounding areas need new forms of regional governance. In working through the political and territorial conflicts of the past ten years, the book argues that Toronto is in need of new modes of regional democracy and decision-making that are both accountable to the rapidly changing and diversifying populations of the area, and effective in providing good government.

Résumé:
Echoing architect Louis Kahn's famous question, "What does a brick want?", Turkle asks, "What does simulation want?" Simulations want, even demand, immersion, and the benefits are clear. Architects create buildings unimaginable before virtual design; scientists determine the structure of molecules by manipulating them in virtual space; physicians practice anatomy on digitized humans. But immersed in simulation, we are vulnerable. There are losses as well as gains. Older scientists describe a younger generation as "drunk with code." Young scientists, engineers, and designers, full citizens of the virtual, scramble to capture their mentors' tacit knowledge of buildings and bodies. From both sides of a generational divide, there is anxiety that in simulation, something important is slipping away.

Old neighbourhoods were renewed with gleaming arcades of iron and glass prefiguring contemporary shopping malls, and entire neighbourhoods were built from scratch.
