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. Jwiley2004PB112pp$A65.95

Following "Contemporary Processes in Architecture" (AD145), this
edition of AD explores the way architectural processes are manipulated
by cultural & social conditions. In this
instance, the digital revolution, globalization, urbanization &ship-building, NASA &
roller-coaster technology all influence parts of contemporary design
culture. Taking examples such as FOA's Yokohama Ferry
Terminal & the ideas of theorists
such as Gilles Deleuze to demonstrate these shifts in ways of designing

Does it have a universal or spiritual content?
Today the desire & need for human

AD162 Surface Consciousness: Vol 73 No2
March/April2003 Mark Taylor
'Surface' is the current buzz word in contemporary architecture. The
most exciting & cutting edge architectural projects, such as FOA'S
Yokohama Port Terminal & Mark Goulthorpe's Aegis Hyposurface, are
being carefully conceptualised & crafted to make surface their main
focus. Rather than define a new movement, this title demonstrates that
for architecture surface is now far more than a 'crust' or 'decorative
strategy', setting up meaningful relationships between contemporary
methods of visioning, making & fabricating. Featuring projects by
ARM, Lyons, Minifie/Nixon, BKK, Wood/Marsh's ACCA building, as
well as LAB's Federation Square. Wiley UK2003PB 128pp$A66.95

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.

Devoted to what planners refer to as ‘Brownfields’, this issue of AD
tackles the green architectural topic of Brownfield sites. Asking the
essential question of how should urban & post-industrial sites best
be rehabilitated to balance ecological & human needs?. These sites
are usually made toxic through a recipe of urbanism & industry,
from our great water thoroughfares to our landfills. They are
usually the only remaining sites available to us for planning
consideration & new developments. Includes the work by

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

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

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. Wiley 2006 UK
