Territorial Investigations
In this volume, architects, artists, theorists, three symposia and four exhibitions attempt to find answers to questions such as: Could the architectonic study and/or deconstruction of space play a decisive role in the shift of attention to space?, and: What is the role of the aesthetization of the environment on our concept of space?

Kas Oosterhuis
Kas Oosterhuis's architecture runs along the fine line seperating or joining it in to the realms of art · Oosterhuis has built all his work, illustrated in this book, around the combination of rigorous design and artistic freedom, while also paying subtle attention to digital technology · His work ranges from the multiform Active Structures of "Trans-ports", an interactive pavilion, to the functional layout of spaces of the Garbage Transfer Station "Elhorst/Vloedbelt", Variomatic S(culptures) and Variomatic L(andscapes), and finally the clever architectural forms of the Helsinki Music Center and the fantastic Programmable Landscapes, a "game" played by a Database on one hand and Intuition on the other · These dialectical relations between design philosophy and clever invention place Oosterhuis's works at the cutting-edge of modern-day architectural design.

Building Dynamics
Buildings are increasingly ‘dynamic’: equipped with sensors, actuators and controllers, they ‘self-adjust’ in response to changes in the external and internal environments and patterns of use. Building Dynamics asks how this change manifests itself and what it means for architecture as buildings weather, programs change, envelopes adapt, interiors are reconfigured, systems replaced. Contributors including Chuck Hoberman, Robert Kronenburg, David Leatherbarrow, Kas Oosterhuis, Enric Ruiz-Geli, and many others explore the changes buildings undergo – and the scale and speed at which these occur – examining which changes are necessary, useful, desirable, and possible. The first book ...
