Metropolitan Regions, Planning and Governance
The aim of this book is to investigate contemporary processes of metropolitan change and approaches to planning and governing metropolitan regions. To do so, it focuses on four central tenets of metropolitan change in terms of planning and governance: institutional approaches, policy mobilities, spatial imaginaries, and planning styles. The book’s main contribution lies in providing readers with a new conceptual and analytical framework for researching contemporary dynamics in metropolitan regions. It will chiefly benefit researchers and students in planning, urban studies, policy and governance studies, especially those interested in metropolitan regions. The relentless pace of urban chan...
Culture, Architecture, and Design
The three basic questions of EBS are (1) What bio-social, psychological, and cultural characteristics of human beings influence which characteristics of the built environment?; (2) What effects do which aspects of which environments have on which groups of people, under what circumstances, and when, why, and how?; and (3) Given this two-way interaction between people and environments, there must be mechanisms that link them. What are these mechanisms?Focusing on answers to these and other questions, "Culture, Architecture, and Design" discusses the relationship between culture, the built environment, and design by showing that the purpose of design is to create environments that suit users a...

Reel Politics
In the mid-1980s, Neil Postman claimed that television made entertainment the natural format for the representation of all experience. While Postman’s argument still is pertinent to a description of contemporary television shows, it also seems increasingly more accurate to argue that “reality-based” entertainment is quickly becoming the referential format for televisual representations of our experience in the 21st century. Chapters in this edited volume explore reality television’s place within contemporary media landscape in terms of its potential for political engagement. The authors engage with a variety of issues such as politics of authenticity and performance, audience recepti...
Selgascano
The Serpentine is delighted to celebrate the fifteenth year of the Galleries' annual Pavilion commission with a design by Spanish architects selgascano. Engaging with selgascano's work - which is characterised by distinctive bold colours, dynamic shapes and a play of light and shadow - is an immersive and sensory experience. As seen in this year's Pavilion, their structures use various synthetic materials and new technologies, which underscore their exploration and experimentation within the field of architecture. Each summer the Serpentine invites an internationally renowned architect to create their first built structure in England. The immediacy of the process - a maximum of six months from invitation to completion - provides a unique model for commissioning architecture. The selection of the architects, chosen for consistently expanding the boundaries of architecture practice, is led by the Serpentine's core curatorial thinking, introducing contemporary architects to a wider audience. The brief is to design a 300 square metre Pavilion that is used as a café by day and a forum for learning, debate and entertainment at night.
