Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A timely issue of Architectural Design that positions architecture's project as world-constructionFifty years ago, architects imagined worlds to come. Today, many have ceded the future to market logic, treating global capitalism as inevitable and reality as fixed. This issue of Architectural Design argues that when collective imagination falters, the utopian impulse returns--not as a blueprint for perfection, but as a vital means of reopening what can still be conceived and made. As planetary computation, climate instability and synthetic cognition converge, utopia becomes a tool for speculative world building: a way to design new systems, realities and relationalities with the more-than-human. Contributors navigate this shifting terrain from a range of vantages--from those who embrace technological acceleration as an instrument of renewal to others whose address to futurity is aimed at resisting the exhausted capitalist logics of the present. Across these positions, utopia emerges as an operative framework for projecting alternative futures and expanding our sense of the possible. Here, architecture's task is not merely to shape space, but to construct worlds capacious enough to hold complexity--and to sustain coexistence amid crisis.Contributors include: Archigram, Adil Bokhari, Federico Campagna, Robert Cha, Jennifer Chen, John Cooper, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Krish Dittmer, Peter Eisenman & Michael Graves, Graham Harman, Damjan Jovanovic, Rem Koolhaas, Neil Leach, Elena Manferdini, Alina Nazmeeva, Antoine Picon, Carlo Ratti, Marco Santambrogio, Paulette Singley, Neil Spiller, Superstudio, Natasha Wanganeen, Andrew Witt, Rain Wu, Liam Young, Elia Zenghelis.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - New paradigms for climate-responsive architectureBiodesign is reshaping a millennia-old relationship between architecture and nature, shifting the field toward adaptive, collaborative modes of practice grounded in reciprocity and ecological responsibility. This issue of Architectural Design traces that shift from speculative metaphor to an operational design framework, arguing that architecture is undergoing a fundamental reorientation around living systems.Here, biology becomes collaborator, model and medium, rather than a passive resource to be extracted. Contributors propose an architecture that behaves metabolically--growing, digesting, adapting and decaying in concert with ecological cycles--positioning architects as cultivators of biological processes and regenerative material flows. Across living biocomposites, biodigital platforms and relational, biotic architectures, the issue advances an ethics, politics and aesthetics that decenter the human and conceive the built environment as continuous with, and accountable to, the ecologies it sustains.Contributors include: Rachel Armstrong, Phil Ayres, Richard Beckett, Beatriz Colomina, Marcos Cruz, Jonathan Dessi-Olive, Nancy Diniz, Joyce Hwang, Kyoung Hee Kim, Maria Kuptsova, Mae-ling Lokko, Frank Melendez, Paul Nicholas, Brenda Parker, Claudia Pasquero, Marco Poletto, Ronald Rael, Ehab Sayed, Milad Showkatbakhsh, Neil Spiller, Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen, Michael Weinstock, Mark Wigley.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - On the role of solar orientation and thermal energy within the architecture of the Anthropocene How might architecture be reshaped by cascading flows of ambient energy, through solar fluxes and thermal gradients, linked to biogenic growing cycles This issue of Architectural Design examines the relations among three progressive practices that have emerged in contemporary architecture over the past decade: critical solar performance, thermal self-regulation and circular economies of biogenic materials. The New Heliomorphism proposes a unifying theory to reconcile the contradictions within and between these distinct modes of spatial projection and their implications for contemporary practice. The issue features contributions from leading voices across three thematic modes of ecologically informed practice: biopolitics and critical solar performance; thermal gradients and thermodynamic sections; and biogenic materials after extraction.Contributors include: Iñaki Ábalos, Michelle Addington, Fatma Al-Alawi, Lola Ben-Alon, Daniel Barber, Paul Bouet, Carl D'Apolito-Dworkin, Kelly Alvarez Doran, Dorit Aviv, Javier García-Germán, Daniel Ibañez, Aleksandra Jaeschke, Paul Lewis, David J.
