The Employment of Reason

Rationalism in the Netherlands is characterised by pragmatism. As Charles Rattray explains it is a practical bent that was driven in the 20th century by the exigencies of building cheaply and quickly a large amount of social housing on a relatively small amount of land. It is a strand that has been underscored by a belief in reason across time and a confidence in an analytical approach. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

World of Similitude: The Metamorphosis of Iranian Architecture

How can an ancient architectural heritage become a rich resource for inspiration rather than a burden or a limitation? Moving away from a conventional formal analysis of historic architecture, which identifies particular periods with specific styles or characteristics, Farshad Farahi suggests an approach that unites the contemporary philosophically and spiritually with its past - by seeking out an imaginary dimension or ‘World of Similitude’.     

The Posthuman City: Imminent Urban Commons

Urban planning has long been governed by the classification of human activities – work, residence, leisure and transport. However, this approach is ill suited to addressing the ever more pressing environmental concerns of our age. Alejandro Zaera-Polo – Artistic Codirector of the Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism 2017 and cofounder with Maider Llaguno of architecture practice AZPML – argues for broad new urban cosmologies and an embracing of technology to enhance the democracy of urbanism.     

一种被遗忘的城市主义

城市是文化物品;技术官僚制度下的城市设计体系(Urbanism),是一个来自19世纪欧洲的产物,尽管它已被中国广泛采用,却和中国的文化环境没有多大关联。中国有自己的城市设计传统,其中一种可以在中国南方的城市中找到,它为城市活动找到一种体量化的表达。文章认为,在这些地区可以找到更多适合中国的城市设计方法。     

Nothing More than a Fragile Edge: Blurring the Boundaries with Mario Cucinella

The main focus of Mario Cucinella's work is an overlapping preoccupation with technology and the natural environment. In his hands buildings are transformed into complex climatic machines. Anna Giorgi explains how, when combined with an instinctive sense of place, these concerns allow Cucinella's buildings to remain open objects, fragments of a greater natural or urban system.
