Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Over five days, some 60 residents of a northern village teamed with designers from southern Quebec to conceive and build an outdoor community pavilion that activates a central recreational area. 'Blueprint for a Hack' aims to reimagine community spaces. Faced with extreme housing shortages, physical isolation, and a challenging climate, outdoor public spaces in northern communities remain largely undesigned and underused. These 'in-between' spaces are strewn with stuff. Most housing and civic buildings in the communities emerge from and stand like physical markers of Euro-Canadian values. The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada has begun a discourse on design in northern Canadian communities, but discussions continue to dwell on housing and civic buildings. A strong need exists to open conversations about design and the public realm in northern villages, which this project tries to address, creating a unique experience in which northern and southern groups could apply a 'hacking mindset' to reimagine community spaces.With Contributions of:The foreword is by Mirko Zardini who was the Director and a member of the Board of Trustees of the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He is an architect who teaches, curates exhibitions, and writes about contemporaryarchitecture and urban issues.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What is the role of hand drawing play for architecture in a digital age, as drawing moves off the page and onto the screen How might computer-generated drawings emulate the ambiguities and nuances of the hand WWW Drawing: Architectural Drawing from Pencil to Pixel documents the eponymous project conducted by Pennsylvania State University's Department of Architecture, which explored these questions through a giant-scale hand-drawing workshop and a symposium held at the Drawing Center, New York.WWW refers in this context both to the World Wide Web, and to the 'Three Ws'-architects Michael Webb, Mark West and James Wines, each renowned for their skills in hand drawing, who discuss their individual approaches and techniques. Complementing the Ws' perspectives, artists and architects of a younger generation - Daniel Cardoso Llach, Andrew Heumann, Jürg Lehni, Jane Nisselson, Seher Shah and Ann Tarantino-address various aspects of contemporary architectural drawing, both analog and digital: the legacies of contrasting ideologies of early computer-aided design; technology as expressive vocabulary; and drawing as live performance, whether executed by hand or by robotic drawing machine. Together, the research and creative explorations presented in WWW Drawing cast architectural drawing in a fresh light.Published by Actar Publishers, Pennsylvania State University and Stuckeman School of Architecture.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - ASSOCIATION/11 is a student-designed and edited publication that gathers work from students, faculty, staff, and alumni across Cornell University's College of Architecture, Art, and Planning [AAP] in a single volume. An anthology of projects from artists, architects, and planners, ASSOCIATION/11 strives to highlight cross-disciplinary connections and reveal new relationships between the works produced by the three departments of AAP that we represent. Through the careful curation and presentation of yearly submissions since 2005, each volume serves as a record of the work produced by the current AAP community, as well as a source of inspiration for years to come.Years. Projects. Volumes. Since 2005, we the students of Cornell University's College of Architecture, Art, & Planning have brought to you ASSOCIATION - the culmination of the voice of the student body. Once again, with the release of this publication, we invite you to view the work of the multi-talented, individual, and endlessly brilliant students, faculty, and alumni of this college. In 11, we observe the idea of parallel. We are all familiar with parallel lines: two or more lines in a plane that do not intersect or touch each other at any point. Parallel subjects can also be equidistant, similar, analogous, or also interdependent in tendency or development. For us at ASSOCIATION, parallel is meant to represent the three parallel pillars of Cornell AAP - Architecture, Art, and Planning - in equally important and considered ways. Not only does organizing projects in this way allow each project to be understood individually on its own, but it also allows one to draw parallels between the work, or as we like to call them, associations.Each project has been carefully categorized and interwoven, allowing you, the reader, to find projects by subject, by color, and of course, by association. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A wider conversation on the policies and collective experiences of large-scale development that are shaping China's urban future. Superblocks are the basic unit of China's urban development, but they are also spatial instruments with social, cultural, environmental, and economic implications, operating between the scales of architecture and the city. These redefined 'Megablocks' then become laboratories for the consequences, opportunities, and potential global proliferation of Chinese urban models, reconsidered through the filters of ecology, economics, and ethics. In this bilingual Guide to Megablock Urbanisms, China Lab aims to document and advance China's urban future.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Starting from the Radical research to contemporary design, the book collects Andrea Branzi's work about the relationship city-design. The publication begins from the Andrea Branzi's reflection on the relationship civility-design, from the Radical's research on mass-production civilization to the 'infinite territories', proposing new territories able to interpret and anticipate the new dynamics of society.In particular, if the first chapters review the historical/critical works of Andrea Branzi and of Radical Movement, the last opens a new parenthesis of research, right now never expressed: the issues ignored by Modernity, like life, death, destiny and the sacred: themes which underline the new drama and the fracture between tragedy and normality, between consumerism and death, between theology and technology, between the silence of reason and the voice of an irrational reality.…
