Artscapes
Artscapes intenta demostrar cómo el paisaje artificial producido por artistas en colaboración con arquitectos y paisajistas puede transformar la naturaleza de un lugar en otro capaz de establecer un diálogo más intenso con el usuario. La sensibilidad de los artistas recoge, selecciona, informa y coloniza el paisaje reformulando una conciencia ecológica que traslada nuestra atención de los objetos que la componen hacia la conciencia y el conocimiento de las relaciones que establecen entre sí.
Atlas of Imagination
Designer and theorist Luca Galofaro often relies on montage in formulating the concepts and manifestations of his work. The montages collected in this book form a single body of work together with selected quotes from notable architects, critics, and theorists. By cutting, splicing, duplicating, stacking, and superimposing many of the world's recognisable buildings, Galofaro creates an alternative history and vision of architecture.

Advanced Technologies
In the last twenty years we have seen radical changes take place in the design of buildings. Present-day constructions are incorporating more and more elements which are "intelligent", providing a high degree of flexibility. Electronic systems control the regulation of light, temperature and energy flows, security devices are automated, even facades and the internal structures are becoming "intelligent". More recently, the advances in Information Technology are making what was once considered futuristic a very real possibility. "Building automation", where everything within an edifice is integrated and linked up is examined and investigated in this publication, providing a concise overview of the latest developments which will be helpful for both architects and engineers
Imminent Commons: Commoning Cities
Imminent Commons: Commoning Cities presents questions and answers concerning the current state and near future of cities of the world through the lens of public initiatives, projects, and urban narratives. Cities are searching for new possibilities that will help them survive and thrive within new systems of municipal governance. The strategies of cities with regard to rapid urbanization, scarcity of public resources, and privatization of commons will be examined through the diverse spectrum of focused projects. It also discusses the present and future of cities as commons in the 21st century through examining various ways the cities use to deliberate, operate, imagine and execute their policies for the city.
Crisis of the Object
Looking back over the twentieth century, Hartoonian discusses the work of three major architects: Peter Eisenman, Frank Gehry and Bernard Tschumi, in reference to their theoretical positions and historicizes present architecture in the context of the ongoing secularization of the myths surrounding the traditions of nineteenth century architecture in general, and, in particular, Gottfried Semper's discourse on the tectonic. Providing a valuable contribution to the current debates surrounding architectural history and theory, this passionately written book makes valuable reading for any architect.
Mathland
The latest book in our successful series IT Revolution in Architecture provides a concise summary of how our perception of the space around us has radically changed in recent years. We could even go as far as to say that we ourselves shape the space around us according to how our perceptions of the universe alter and develop, and mathematics plays a pivotal role. In this book, the "virtual" protagonist of the journey through the concept of space is the square. Michele Emmer, born in 1945, is Professor of Mathematics at the University La Sapienza in Rome and has authored many books and films on the subject of mathematics and art and culture. He was also responsible for exhibitions at the Venetian Biennale and the Cité des Sciences La Villette in Paris.
