MODU
Dieser vom interdisziplinären Designstudio MODU herausgegebener Reader erkundet den Raum zwischen dem Innen und dem Außen. Wie orientiert sich das Design von Innenräumen an einer urbanen Welt und andersherum? Wo lassen sich die Grenzen zwischen dem Privaten und dem Städtischen ziehen? Welche Rolle spielt hierbei die Umwelt? Phu Hoang und Rachely Rotem betrachten für ihre Recherche und Designprojekte drei Großstädte auf unterschiedlichen Kontinenten: New York, Rom und Tokio. MODU lässt dabei die binäre Idee von Innen und Außen hinter sich und begreift Architektur vielmehr als Erweiterung der Umwelt. Somit imaginiert es ein Hybrid von urbanem Raum, Architektur und Innenraum. Im Buch werden die unterschiedlichen geografischen Orte untersucht und eigene Designprojekte vorgestellt.
Portals
Portals: Pedagogy, Practice, and Architecture’s Future Imaginary considers the COVID-19 pandemic and the remote pedagogy it occasioned globally in schools of architecture, as a critical threshold to future architectural pedagogy, practice, and spatial imaginaries. Given that the conceit of a “return to normal” is neither desirable nor possible, this book speculates upon possible futures for the discipline of architecture, through the lens of the Thesis and Directed Research projects of the RISD Architecture class of 2020. This book documents an interregnum, a pause, a moment of self-reflection in which architects, imperiled by the COVID-19 pandemic and all of the forms of inequity that...
The Sky's the Limit
This book presents spectacularly-formed buildings, facades and interiors all made possible by recent innovations in building materials, design technologies and construction tools. There are temporary projects and urban interventions by young and established architects and designers.
Weather in Climate
Weather in Climate: Schools explores the differences inherent in the term "weather in climate"- arguing, essentially, that weather and climate are not the same. Their temporal, dimensional, and political differences are manifested architecturally in a series of studies for near (weather) and distant (climate) futures. This book, the first in a series on building types, focuses on schools and the idea of programmatic "weather rooms." Three school studies experiment with the different forms these "weather rooms" can take in adapting to different global climates.Architecture's relationship to weather is at the core of the design study by MODU, which asks: what future learning spaces can foster ...
Through Time and the City
Through Time and the City: Notes on Rome offers a new approach to exploring cities. Using Rome as a guide, the book follows familiar sites, geographies, and characters in search of their role within a larger narrative that includes the environmental processes required to generate enough space and material for the city, the emergent ecologies to which its buildings play host, and the social patterns its various structures help to organize. Through Time and the City argues that Rome is made and unmade by an endlessly evolving chorus that has, for better or worse, gained geological legitimacy; that the city absorbs and emits countless artifacts in its search for collective identity; that the city is a platform for the constant staging of negotiations between agents (humans, buildings, plants, animals, pathogens, goods, waste, water) that drive and are driven by the entanglements of climate and culture. This book provides textual and visual frameworks for identifying the material traces, emergent patterns, or speculated futures that expose a city as inseparable from its capacity to change.
Neoliberalism on the Ground
Architecture and urbanism have contributed to one of the most sweeping transformations of our times. Over the past four decades, neoliberalism has been not only a dominant paradigm in politics but a process of bricks and mortar in everyday life. Rather than to ask what a neoliberal architecture looks like, or how architecture represents neoliberalism, this volume examines the multivalent role of architecture and urbanism in geographically variable yet interconnected processes of neoliberal transformation across scales—from China, Turkey, South Africa, Argentina, Mexico, the United States, Britain, Sweden, and Czechoslovakia. Analyzing how buildings and urban projects in different regions since the 1960s have served in the implementation of concrete policies such as privatization, fiscal reform, deregulation, state restructuring, and the expansion of free trade, contributors reveal neoliberalism as a process marked by historical contingency. Neoliberalism on the Ground fundamentally reframes accepted narratives of both neoliberalism and postmodernism by demonstrating how architecture has articulated changing relationships between state, society, and economy since the 1960s.

סטלין מת
More than 45 individual pieces of varying length and style. Aphorisms, flash fiction, and short stories commingle to create a truly fantastic world and idiosyncratic view of the human condition. In these tales we come across reckless she-goats, morose fish, somnambulistic theologians, poignant old ladies not to mention dying dictators and dead poets. The original Hebrew text, published here for the first time, appears side by side with Ornan Rotem s translation into English. Playfully interspersed throughout the text are typograms by the translator that take their inspiration from both the Hebrew and Roman alphabets. "
