Everywhere we see evidence of standardisation, the serial production of goods and services, uniformity across the globe, and people are beginning to react against this trend. The wish to alter, modify, improve, and distort the standard model is becoming increasingly apparent, and it applies as much to products, building components or plans for town development, as to cultural commonplaces and rituals. This publication provides fascinating reports on some of the rebellious strategies that have been discovered in towns such as Paris, Wuppertal, Seoul and London. Interviews with architects in Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Spain, France and the USA reveal a subversive attitude, which is no longer prepared to accept uniform standards and globalization to the detriment of individuality and idiosyncrasy.

New Architecture in Slovenia
The countries in Central and Eastern Europe have undergone far-reaching economic and social changes over the last 15 years. This makes way for new conditions for new living spaces. In the economically flourishing state of Slovenia, which became a member of the EU in 2004, architecture production has developed with great optimism but also with a discernible bit of concern. Questions concerning the maintenance of the quality of life and the identity of cities, villages and landscape planning are of great interest at the moment. Slovenia’s new architecture is taking a new approach to these problems and receiving great international recognition. The book discusses around 30 projects built over the last 10 years and includes descriptions, photos and plans. The projects include administration and office buildings, as well as educational and residential buildings.
