AD102 Folding in Architecture Lynn, G. (Ed) Revised
This seminal book from Architectural Design was originally published in 1993, at a time of crucial change & on the eve of the digital revolution. It brought together a series of essays that many believe created the favourable environment in which computer-based design could thrive. Considered one of the most influential architecture publications of the 1990s, this book ranks as a classic & in itself is a crucial chapter of history, though one that has been out of print since 1999. This faithful reprinting includes a substantial new introductory essay by Mario Carpo, Head of the Study Centre at the Canadian Centre for Architecture, which examines the impact of the original texts & their ongoing significance. Thereafter, the book is true to its original content showcasing projects by ground-breaking architects such as Greg Lynn, Jeffrey Kipnis, Bahram Shirdel, Frank Gehry & Philip Johnson.

AD 166 Club Culture Vol73 No 6 November/December  Curtis, E. (Ed.)
Clubs by their definition offer 'exclusivity': to be a member of a club you have to meet the selected criteria, whatever that might be. The image of a club becomes the key to how its members identify with it - be it the relaxed wholesome logos of health clubs; or the sleek aerodynamic images found in business-class airline lounges. This issue of AD sets out to examine how architects & interior designers effectively use the physical spaces of clubs to enforce images of exclusivity & collective belonging. Traditional gentlemen's clubs will be looked at alongside a new generation of sports, media, commercial & night clubs that are springing up across the world.

AD 169 Emergence Morphogenetic Design Strategies
Emergence is an important new concept in artificial intelligence, information theory, digital technology, economics, climate studies, material science and biometric engineering. It is a development which is set to inform not only the construction of buildings, but also the composition of new materials. As a new science, coupled with material and technological innovations, it is set to enter architecture into a new phase of transition. It includes interviews with Frei Otto and a review of the Advanced Geometry Group at Ove Arup and Partners.  Wiley USA 2004 PB 128pp $A 59.95

AD 170 The Challenge of Suburbia
For an increasing number of people living in Western societies, suburbia is the primary living environment. Yet, it is the city that architects have been trained to regard as their main territory of intervention. The architectural media have done their share in propelling the presumption that construction in suburbia could only be of mediocre quality. This issue challenges that presumption. It also presents an opportunity for architects to rake back an important sector of the housing industry, as 75% of all new construction in the United States of America is in suburbia, but less than 5% remains architect designed. Contents includes features projects by Zaha Hadid, Eyal Weizman, Lacaton & Vassa, Sada & Vuga and Wes Jones.

AD 171 Back to School
In the last decade or so architectural schools have become truly international in their intake, as students select from courses worldwide. This creates a truly bewildering choice for school leavers and undergraduates shopping for a degree. A school’s reputation is no longer enough to go by as different institutions produce very different types of architects, with an emphasis on building techniques, digital techniques, business or pure design. This book is to become a touchstone for anyone involved in architectural education, from the academic to the student. It features interviews with four of the most influential educators/heads of schools – Peter Cook, Bernard Tschumi, Elia Zenghelis and Leon van Schaik – followed by short self-biographies of eleven further prominent figures, including Rem Koolhaas, Anthony Vidler and Paul Virilio. Finally, it is the first book to feature an invaluable listing of architectural schools worldwide. WileyUSA 2004PB 128pp $A 64.95 (16/12)

AD 184 Architextiles  Introduction by Garcia M.
Surveying the architecture and textile relationship through studies in this vigorous domain of crossover of the two disciplines, this issue of AD examines four particular areas: textiles or a textile-based process when it is used as a metaphor; when a textile related spatial structure is produced in architecture; when textiles or textile composites are applied in a real building; and where textile is involved in architectural theory and texts. Featuring interviews and contributions from architects, designers, engineers, technologists, theorists and material researchers such as Will Alsop, Matilda McQuaid, Peter Testa and Bradley Quinn, the issue brings together the many preoccupations with architextiles both from the past and  the present.
