Disappearing Architecture
The creation of new environments through the use of developments in Information Technology is significantly altering not only architecture itself but also the roles and tasks of the architects. Architecture can no longer be described in the terms we are familiar with since it no longer corresponds to the form of architecture as we know it: an inclusive and exclusive structure, clearly defined, with a single interior and a single exterior. For architects, the challenge of the future will increasingly lie in creatively coming to terms with hybrid environments, understanding and exploiting the design potential of digital spaces within the physical world, and redefining the role of architecture within a visually dominated culture. This volume presents a valuable and attractive contribution to the contemporary discussion on this subject.
The Architecture of Intelligence
A refreshingly unconventional look at architecture and the World Wide Web. Using Vitruvius' classical text De Arquitectura as a starting point, De Kerckhove begins a journey into the exciting world of the Internet.

Derrick de Kerckhove is the Director of the McLuhan Institute and Professor at the University of Toronto. His research into the effects of innovative technology on human communication, of new media on traditional culture have gained worldwide recognition.
Rationalist Traces
Modern European architecture has been characterised by a strong undercurrent of rationalist thought. Rationalist Traces aims to examine this legacy by establishing a cross-section of contemporary European architecture, placed in selected national contexts by critics including Ákos Moravánszky and Josep Maria Montaner. Subsequent interviews discuss the theoretical contributions of Giorgio Grassi and OM Ungers, and a survey of Max Dudler and De Architekten Cie.’s work sets out a consistency at one remove from avant-garde spectacle or everyday expediency. In Germany Rationalism offers a considered representation of state institutions, while elsewhere outstanding work reveals different appro...
StadtUmbau
Suburbaner sprawl und die Entstehung der postindustriellen Gesellschaft treiben seit Jahrzehnten einen Prozess des Funktionsverlustes europ ischer und amerikanischer Kernst dte an. Mit dem "Info-age" hat nun aber eine neue Wertsch tzung historischer und fr hindustrieller Stadtstrukturen eingesetzt: Umnutzung innerst dtischen Baubestands, Stimulation der Stadtentwicklung durch Neunutzung von Konversionsfl chen und eine Vielfalt "weicher" Standortfaktoren sind heute die Hauptinstrumente des erfolgreichen Umbaus gro er und kleiner Altst dte. Das Buch pr sentiert in gro z giger Illustration rund 10 international beispielhafte Projekte des zur Zeit wohl wichtigsten Aufgabengebiets aktueller Architekturproduktion. Essays zu Grundfragen des Stadtumbaus von Harald Bodenschatz und anderen internationalen Experten erg nzen diesen aktuellen berblick des Geschehens in Europa und Nordamerika.
