  • BUILDING ENVELOPES
    JENNY LOVELL
    Building Envelopes -- Far from being just a simple outer wall or decorative element, the building envelope, or facade, determines a building's structural stability, climate control, and degree of energy performance.

  • PARIS
    GARCETTI, GIL
    These days, bicycles are as much a part of the image of Paris as the Eiffel Tower.

With an artist's eye, he goes beyond documentation and creates a delicate mosaic of our city on bicycles. This elegant work is at once tribute...

  • SUBNATURE
    GISSEN, DAVID
    Subnature -- We are conditioned over time to regard environmental forces such as dust, mud, gas, smoke, debris, weeds, and insects as inimical to architecture. Much of today's discussion about sustainable and green design revolves around efforts to clean or filter out these primitive elements. While mostly the direct result of human habitation, these "subnatural forces" are not...

  • THINK/MAKE
    BERNHEIMER, ANDREW / VALLE, JARED DELLA
    Think/Make -- Architecture, the saying goes, is a verb. It's an ongoing process of creating.

  • ARCHITECTURE ORIENTED OTHERWISE
    LEATHERBARROW, DAVID
    Architecture Oriented Otherwise -- So much writing about architecture tends to evaluate it on the basis of its intentions: how closely it corresponds to the artistic will of the designer, the technical skills of the builder, or whether it reflects the spirit of the place and time in which it was built, making it not much more than the willful (or even subconscious) assemblage o...

  • BIOREBOOT: THE ARCHITECTURE OF R&SIE{N}
    GIOVANNI CORBELLINI
    What do you call an architecture firm that draws inspiration from the most extreme aspects of nature and human psychology? When faced with this challenge in 1989, architect Franois Roche decided that the best way to express his firm's design philosophy would be to change its name every few years. Presently, the Paris-based practice goes by the name of R&Sie(n). Pronounced "here...
