Architectures of Hiding
Architecture manifests as a space of concealment and unconcealment, lethe and alêtheia, enclosure and disclosure, where its making and agency are both hidden and revealed. With an urgency to amplify narratives that are overlooked, silenced and unacknowledged in and by architectural spaces, histories and theories, this book contends the need for a critical study of hiding in the context of architectural processes. It urges the understanding of inherent opportunities, power structures and covert strategies, whether socio-cultural, geo-political, environmental or economic, as they are related to their hidescapes – the constructed landscapes of our built environments participating in the arch...

Planning Cities with Nature
This book explores novel theories, strategies and methods for re-naturing cities. It enables readers to learn from best practice and advances the current theoretical and empirical understanding in the field. The book also offers valuable insights into how planners and policymakers can apply this knowledge to their own cities and regions, exploring top-down, bottom-up and mixed mechanisms for the systemic re-naturing of planned and existing cities. There is considerable interest in ‘naturalising’ cities, since it can help address multiple global societal challenges and generate various benefits, such as the enhancement of health and well-being, sustainable urbanisation, ecosystems and the...
Collaboration and Co-creation
Today’s consumers are more knowledgeable, networked, and vocal. For them consumption is not merely an act of buying products and services, but an expression of their creative potential. Consequently, they are demanding a say and a voice in how companies conceive, develop, and deliver value to them. It is not surprising, therefore, to hear that a large number of companies are transforming how they innovate—not only in terms of developing new products and services, but in how they are created, delivered, and supported to customers. Open Innovation thinking, where companies collaborate with suppliers, distributors, and customers to co-create unique value, is fast replacing traditional think...

Abordagens Interdisciplinares sobre Direito e Tecnologia
Quem iniciou seus estudos na clássica obra Lições preliminares de Direito, do imortal Professor Miguel Reale, deve se lembrar de sua clássica explicação elementar do que seja o Direito. Nela, lança mão de um antigo brocardo jurídico: ubi societas, ibi jus (onde está a sociedade está o Direito). Nesse sentido, ousamos adaptar a afirmação para nossa obra e dizer que onde está a tecnologia está o Direito! E a confirmação de que esta sentença é válida está na própria diversidade de temas que entram na pauta de discussões dos mais variados setores do conhecimento jurídico a uma velocidade difícil de acompanhar. Levando em consideração essa relevância contemporânea –...
