Without and Within: Essays on Territory and the Interior
February 2006
This richly illustrated book Without and Within: Essays on Territory and the Interior contains a series of essays, that concerns the connections between ideas of utopia and some of the means, used to imagine and construct them. The essays examine the constructions of fictions and the power of imagery in the formation of places and public interiors. The development of the American West in the nineteenth century established an ‘American space’ that in the twentieth and twenty-first century became the scene that situated, defines and related the full spectrum of buildings, but also the private and public interior alike. The tract house, the automobile, the office, the corporate atrium, the interior shopping mall and the new museum can all be seen as part of a continuum, representative of the utopian and capitalist ideology that formed the landscape itself. It is those public spaces and the public interior that are of specific interest here. Contrary to European perceptions of America, such spaces have not emerged from a tabula rasa condition, but rather from free adaptations of European ideas. The borrowing of European models of urban design – at the level of territory and typology – has been central to the development of American models. Today, as a consequence of American cultural and economic hegemony, these models are being returned to Europe, affecting European public spaces, and in particular, interior public spaces. It is on this subject that the book concludes.

Sick City. A Global Study about Infrastructure, Urbanism and Disease is a treatise on urban pathologies. A book about the first global epidemic of the 21st century, severe acute respiratory syndrome, known by its acronym as SARS, claimed lives, infected thousands, quarantined tens of thousands, devastated economies and reconfigured urban infrastructures. Sick City presents case studies of cities in crisis by examining reflexive infrastructures within the city. Disease and disaster are exacerbated within a globally mobile and interconnected world. SARS, originated in the Guangdong province in China and transported by airplane, surfaced in Europe, North and South America, and throughout Asia during 2003. A contagious and unpredictable disease, SARS was communicable by touch and through the air with the majority of all contact occurring in hospitals, hotels and airports became known as potential sites of transmission. SARS was strategically fought in the field of the city and particularly within transportation and public health networks. New modes of scanning and monitoring individuals for symptoms were introduced at international airports and city center hospitals. Cities such as Hong Kong, Beijing and Toronto responded through measures of control in the form of quarantines, school closings and sealing off parts of the city. The international medical community formed new networks linking university and science labs with governmental research centers in Rotterdam, Atlanta and Winnipeg among others to track the outbreaks. Establishing episodes of surveillance led to a relatively complete system of control. Urban pathologies and their deviation from normal conditions become apparent through mapping of reflexive infrastructures, urban recovery and transitory urbanisms. This study shows that maintenance and expansion for the future development of cities require flexibility especially in the face of unexpected or potential catastrophic events resulting in urban trauma.

The Chinese Dream A Society Under Construction
Neville Mars [ed.] Dynamic City Foundation [DCF] graphic design Thomas Lommée, Brussel English | Chinese summary paperback 352 pp. 22 x 26 ISBN 9059730194 €
44.50
March 2006 Dreaming is not Chinese. By 2020 four hundred million farmers will have moved to the city. The urban middle-class will have doubled in size. The world’s biggest pool of one-child consumers will be hanging out at the mall. To accommodate these shifts the equivalent of 400 instant mega-cities, or a brand new Eurozone, is already under construction. There is barely even time to sleep. The Chinese Dream – a society under construction investigates what China will look like in the year 2020. Ignoring star projects and focusing instead on the countless anonymous residential developments which will actually shape these cities, it asks what landscape will result from the largest migration in human history? What kind of society will emerge from the flash-urbanization of hundreds of millions of people? Will the Chinese simply re-dream America and build a suburb continent at five times the former magnitude and speed? And at the same time that a global energy crisis looms, a wealth gap comes staggering open, and the economic bubble swells and swells? It presents the hopes and hazards China faces on the road to becoming the world’s most powerful nation. Dynamic City Foundation is an Beijing-based international cross disciplinary research team. It has made analyses, and developed concepts and designs that reassess if this particular Chinese Dream is now inevitable. Through diagrams, facts, essays and interviews alternative routes are sketched which together suggest the possibility of a conceptual leapfrog in urbanization: a new dream which transcends the current harsh market-driven conditions and lands in city forms as yet unseen.

hunch 9 concerns the status of architecture and the question of “disciplines” today. Beyond this subject matter it identifies a problem in architectural publications generally: it is not the quantities of publications that are problematic, but rather their consistent failure to present lines of reasoning. This inadequacy has been addressed by disciplining the issue: by organizing projects, lectures, interviews and essays into a set of arguments about ‘disciplines’. Return discusses the erosion of architecture’s disciplinary distinctions; Resonate examines the perspectives of other disciplines such as music, painting, sociology and economics; Reason explores architecture’s relationships with theory, history, archive, and technology. Realize makes connections between theory and practice through Berlage research – production processes, material studies, and spatial organizations. And Relay exposes the various disciplinary transfers in and out of architectural practice.

Gaudí
Constructie van verleiding Jan Molema graphic design Maaike Klijn Dutch hardcover 432 pp. 12 x 16.5 ISBN 9059730216 €

Even though Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926) is rightfully the most famous architect who ever lived, his works are shrouded in mysteries. In this publication (Gaudí. Construction of Temptation) Jan Molema sheds light on a few of these mysteries by showing Gaudí’s development from architect to self willed artist. The organic shapes of his fairy-tale buildings betray the influence of Art Nouveau, but Gaudí takes things one step further. He enlivens old buildings into something externally revolutionary – by the use of materials – as well as structurally ingenious. To be able to truly value his place as an architect in history, it is important to understand the structure of his buildings. To that end, spectacular suspended constructions are shown that helped him visualize his designs. Moreover, the symbolic meanings of his buildings will be unveiled. This publication catalogues not only the many works of this notable architect, but it also provides an authoritative and highly illustrated study of his projects. It includes hundreds of illustrations that vary from exclusive photographs of Emilio Canosa, archival photographs, drawings and reproductions. Jan Molema is an architect, researcher and educator. He is Senior Scientist at the Faculty of Architecture at the Technological University Delft University of Technology, Prof. HC at the Novosibirsk Academy of Architecture and Arts and editor of Krasnaya Gorka Almanac Kemerovo
The Architecture of Novosibirsk Modern Novosibirsk, the third largest city in Russia, is the leading administrative, industrial, scientific and cultural center of Western Siberia. This city is an amazing example of a new city in the 20th century. Novosibirsk, which before the revolution was called Novonikolaevsk, arose in 1893 at the intersection of the Trans-Siberian railroad and the river Ob. Due to its favorable location the city developed very fast.

Water is both a friend and an enemy of the City of Rotterdam. Rotterdam was founded near the water, and thanks to the water Rotterdam is one of the major ports of the world. The fact that water can also be a threat to the city becomes clear when we look at recent disasters in New Orleans or the tsunami. What would Rotterdam look like if water in the city was not considered to be a problem but an opportunity, if we took water in the city as a starting point? Rotterdam Waterstad 2035 is the joint project of three parties for the second International Architecture Biennale, Rotterdam. The content is created on the basis of a joint vision by experts of various disciplines. Apart from the publication, there is a model and an exhibition called ‘The Dutch Water City’. This richly illustrated and beautifully designed publication presents a complete overview of all the results of the project.

Much of Katzir’s work is deliberately ambiguous, compelling the viewer to stop, think, and double-take. He works with the precept that we are what we see.

This richly illustrated monograph gives an elaborate overview of the work of the Dutch artist Piet Tuytel. | Space | Piet Tuytel Objects 1980-2005 includes four vividly written and informative essays about the artist, his work and the topics that inspire him. Art historian Lisette Pelsers looks at the developments in the work of Tuytel, art historian Rob Perrée sketches a picture of the international podium in which the world distinguishes itself, Dirk van Delft, science editor for the NRC Handelsblad, takes a deeper look in the concept of space and landscape architect Wouter Reh discusses the Dutch landscape as an experiment in form. This monograph also includes a preface by art-collector Frits Becht. More than a hundred illustrations give a full picture of the objects Piet Tuytel made between 1980 and 2005. “Tuytel’s work puts people off their stride, but he can also cause confusion with the associations this work evokes. His sculptures have an international frame of reference, but within that framework, they remain ultimately and stubbornly themselves.” Rob Perrée

Further an introduction into the role of rumour in information societies, and an experimental proposal for urban planning based on the fluctuating networks of rumours in the city. Pages is a bilingual, Farsi and English, magazine with the aim to function as a platform for exchange, dialogues and projects, a place for collaboration between artists/writers from Iran and elsewhere. The magazine’s interest lies more in the socio-political flows within spaces of urban and everyday life. The diversity of contributions expand and even transgress the geographically bound subjects and subjectivities, as they often develop, return, change and interact with one another from one issue of Pages to the other. It emphasizes on localities and it is the intricacy and dissonances within local currents that give way to chains of meanings, relations, differences and exchange.

The photographs reveal the present of the workers in the quarry, their thoughts and acts. ‘These walls were once blank. Due to what happens to these walls by those who move between them, these walls become panels of the soul and to me they do not represent the limitation of the space but exactly that which enables the meeting.’ Caroline Waltman

academies of fine arts, were artists from a variety of backgrounds. Their contribution has enlarged and enriched the meaning of 30 years of Dutch art. During the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, they introduced new artistic perspectives, organised exhibitions and artistic events, produced television programmes, published magazines, and passed on their knowledge and engagement with the medium of video to future generations. They contributed largely to artistic life in The Netherlands, producing works in which new questions and issues, unexpected perspectives and unusual discourses became established. In enlarging both the subject and the content, they brought new sensibilities to the Dutch artistic arena. A Short History of Video Art includes full colour visual documentation of the work of Marina Abramovic and Ulay, Michel Cardenas, Ulises Carrión, Claudio Goulart and Flavio Pons, Raul Marroquin, Nan Hoover, David Garcia and Annie Wright, Elsa Stansfield & Madelon Hooykaas, Heiner Holtappels and Christina LinarisCorridou, and more recent work by Yael Davids, Tiong Ang, Alicia Framis and Nasrin Tabatabai.

This publication clearly shows how the Government Buildings Agency tries to coordinate the art it has commissioned with the context of the user as well as with the architecture itself, a concern that has frequently resulted in both interesting and unconventional visual solutions.

The BosBus, an ordinary city bus with a growing forest inside it, was a way of probing cultural interpretation of nature. Debates and dialogues took place in the bus en route, with architects, city planners, ecologists and biologists hammering out the relations between culture and nature in and around the city of Rotterdam. As the bus visited their chosen locations, standpoints were argued and demonstrated. English paperback 64 pp. 23.5 x 17

The Camouflage Museum discusses a situation between the virtual and the existing. It holds neither a permanent location for its displays nor is it fixed to a certain field of subjects. Its architectural structure consists of spaces which have hosted, host and will host The Camouflage Museum for a period of time. ISBN 99059730119
A book about Nike’s urban marketing strategies and how they alter the city. This publication illustrates the way Nike is transforming urban space into a new brand city. In his persuasive analyses, Friedrich von Borries is able to demonstrate this process with astonishing concreteness. He proceeds not just analytically, but also undertakes speculative excursions into the future. Precisely this approach endows his detailed investigations of contemporary marketing strategies with their forcefulness. English Paperback 104 pp. 15 x 18.5

“Thanks for the tip about the book size, E. I can’t make corrections on this university computer, you see. I am in the library – in Montréal – doing tons of research. There’s a lot of information I need here. Plus material to photograph. Plus amazing and relevant exhibitions to see, including one with both Cedric Price and Gordon Matta-Clark. I hope the summer is wonderful there. It is sunny and 26 degrees here today with a gentle breeze. Perfect for... work. Hélas.”
