"Since the end of the Second World War, few firms have influenced the practice of architecture as much as Caudill Rowlett Scott, or CRS. From its establishment in the 1940s as a three-man operation above a grocery store in College Station, Texas, CRS evolved into a world leader in programming, construction management, school design, and other dimensions of modern architectural practice. By the 1970s, CRS was a master at organizing complicated architectural undertakings and had earned a global reputation for sharing its insights with practitioners worldwide." "This book about CRS will fill an important gap in architectural history. It explores the ways architects of the mid-twentieth century developed methods that allowed professionals to analyze projects systematically rather than relying on the traditional combination of information and intuition. CRS played an important role in the profession's progress by pioneering "programming" to tailor buildings more precisely to the clients' and occupants' needs." "Based on oral histories taken from many leaders and staff members of CRS, the book traces the company's development from its beginnings to its emergence as the largest architecture/engineering firm in the United States by the early 1980s and to its dismemberment in 1994. It focuses mainly on the period from the 1940s to CRS's merger with the South Carolina-based engineering firm Sirrine in 1983"--Jacket.

The second issue of Verb Matters takes a look at the formal and material possibilities within current construction methods. Our starting point is the present context of the information era, typified by extensive data processing, global networking and an increasingly blurred distinction between natural matter and artificial technology. First, Verb Matters reflects the actual result of the more sophisticated ideas applied to the shaping of buildings. Next, it attempts to address the growing possibilities of current technology: a living, built, artificial matter that processes information and interacts with natural beings. Having arrived at the limits of the foreseeable, we return to the contemporary world with a greater sense of what is possible. What can we really build? That's the main aspect of this survey.

Book DescriptionTo combine architecture and imagination in a fashion as light and variable as clouds was the credo proclaimed by Wolf D. Prix and Helmut Swiczinsky when they founded the practice of Coop Himmelb(l)au in 1968 in Vienna (Himmelblau = heavenly blue). Their radical, iconoclastic and deconstructivist approach to architecture expresses the energy and tension of each site and location in spectacular fashion. Among the projects that established their international reputation are the Groningen Museum pavilion and Dresden UFA Cinema Complex. Their work has also featured in numerous exhibitions and they have represented Austria at the Architecture Biennial in Venice. This monograph is the first publication to present the theoretical and conceptual content of Coop Himmelb(l)au's oeuvre.

Often considered utilitarian and unsightly, power plants and other industrial buildings seldom involve architects in their design processes, despite the significant benefits architectural engagement could bring. Based on a three-year investigation of Waste-to-Energy (WtE) facilities undertaken at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design, Architecture and Waste: A (Re)Planned Obsolescence proposes that designers, owners, and the public reconsider the role of architecture in industrial design. As population densities increase, growing numbers of WtE plants will be needed to cope with mounting volumes of waste, particularly in urban areas. By juxtaposing the extensive WtE industry in Sweden with less-established activities in the northeastern United States, this design-led examination demonstrates that architects’ contributions can be crucial to integrating WtE plants within their context and counteracting negative public perceptions of such facilities. As architects develop hybrid WtE building typologies that unite energy production with new public and institutional programs, remarkable opportunities arise for these facilities to reconnect to, communicate with, and greatly enrich the communal realm.
