ARGENTINA - SIX JUMPS
We did something the English call 'gap year' trying to get the best out of it with a long travel around the world. Travelling was something unavoidable, an enriching experience in the life's process of becoming grown-ups. We left home for five months with an open 'round the world' flight ticket, two backpacks each and reservation only for the first night in Mumbai. It was not to be holiday everyday but a long searching for accomodations, connections and sites, and we were going to be rovers carrying everything we had on our shoulders. Six jumps around the world going eastbound, choosing India as first jump, and Thailand as second. Leaving Asia's exotic appeal, New Zealand was a coming back to western society, while Chile became our door to South America. Argentina a gigantic, past land. Buenos Aires, Iguazù, Salta, Cafayate, San Juan: twenty two days of north between enormous waters and almost desert, vineyards, coloured mountains, condors, foxes, toucans and the strongest scent of almost Europe.
CHILE - SIX JUMPS
We tried what English call 'gap year' convinced to get the best out of it with a long travel around the world. From our perspective travelling was something unavoidable, an enriching experience in life's process to become grown-ups. We left home for five months with an open 'round the world' flight ticket, two backpacks each and reservation only for the first night in Mumbai. It was not to be holiday everyday but a long searching for accomodations, connections and sites, because we were going to be rovers carrying everything we had on our shoulders. We went out around the world in six jumps, going eastbound choosing India as first jump, while Thailand came second. Leaving Asia and its exotic appeal, New Zealand was a coming back to western society, while Chile was for us our door to South America. Santiago, San Pedro de Atacama, Puerto Montt, Valparaiso: sixteen days of chases on semicama buses and night travels for 6400 kilometers from the almost antarctica wild south to a salty almost desert north.
Into the Dragon's Roar
Dozens of stories from the Vietnam War, collected by Don Arndt.
INDIA - SIX JUMPS
We decide to do the trip around the world going eastbound. For the first jump we pick up india. Mumbai hard night welcomes us providing immediate precise reasons to fly away. This is the start of a month spent escaping from the poverty, the noise, the dust, the confusion, the anarchy of a continent wide people that never started a war.

Renzo Piano Building Workshop - Volume 4
As Peter Buchanan has shown in the first three volumes of Renzo Piano's (b.1937) complete works, Piano follows no fashions of form or theory, nor is he limited to a personal idiom. Instead he concerns himself with the specifics and potential of a particular situation and moment, meeting the challenges of the programme, pushing the limits of technology, but always responding sensitively to the topography or urban fabric of the building's site. This fourth volume on Renzo Piano provides an illuminating study of the architect's working method, in particular his regard for context, followed by a presentation of his projects from 1989 to 2000. These range from urban works such as the Potsdamer Platz masterplan in Berlin, a science museum in Amsterdam and high-rise towers in Rotterdam and Sydney, to the acclaimed Beyeler Foundation, and the Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Centre in New Caledonia, which exemplifies the architect's sensitivity to site and local tradition, combining traditional materials and techniques with those from the cutting edge of technology.
ARGENTINA - SEI SALTI
Gli Inglesi lo chiamano 'gap year'. E' un anno in cui si è in mezzo, tra studi finiti e lavoro da cominciare e per noi significava affrontare un lungo viaggio intorno al mondo. Nel nostro voleri diventare grandi era un percorso inevitabile, come uno sbaglio. Ricco come uno sbaglio, Per cinque mesi abbiamo lasciato casa con un biglietto aereo aperto 'round the world', due zaini a testa e prenotazione solo per la prima notte a Mumbai. Non sarebbe stato semplice tutti i giorni, una continua ricerca di un posto dove dormire, di collegamenti, di luoghi e noi saremmo stati 'rovers'. Intorno al mondo fanno sei salti verso est, con l'India come primo atterraggio e Tailandia come secondo, la Nuova Zelanda come 'ritorno ad occidente' e Cile come porta del Sudamerica. L'Argentina una terra enorme e passata. Buenos Aires, Iguazù, Salta, Cafayate, San Juan: ventidue giorni di nord tra acque enormi e deserto di terre secche, vigne, montagne a colori, condor, volpi, tucani ed un fortissimo odore di quasi Europa.
Tenth International Architecture Exhibition
"This two-volume catalogue of the 10th International Architecture Exhibition presents an anthology of ideas centered around this year's theme: the meta-city. The changes in the physical and social structure of today's city have resulted in a new kind of civilian agglomeration that extends beyond the traditional form, concept, and boundaries of the city, causing profound transformations in the composition of its population and working habits. The International Exhibition, curated by Richard Burdett, will focus on the transformations of cities around the world, featuring New York, London, Berlin, Moscow, Tokyo, Shanghai, Mumbai, Mexico City, São Paulo Beirut, Istanbul, Johannesburg, and Lagos. Additionally, the biennale will propound a manifesto for rational development of cities in the 21st century. This book will be the definitive catalogue of what is perhaps the most important architecture exhibition in the world."--Wrapper description.
Street Addressing and the Management of Cities
There has been a dramatic demographic shift from rural areas to cities in sub-Saharan African countries over the last few decades. This continuing urbanisation trend has created new challenges for local governments in terms of managing urban services, since over half of the city streets in these countries have no names or addresses, and the problem is particularly acute in the poorest neighbourhoods. This publication examines the use of street addressing initiatives to address this problem, giving information on current and future applications, considering examples of use in many African countries, and setting out a methodological guide for implementing such initiatives.
