Analytical thinking and holistic concepts Low-tech buildings with strong architectural identities Selected works from 25 years of international architectural practice HOLODECK architects work on a wide variety of projects, from urban development to exhibitions. Their impressive body of work is proof that sophisticated architecture need not ignore ecological and social issues. The latter are consciously reflected from concept to realization. For example, HOLODECK have developed strategic solutions as alternatives to single-family homes, apply a sensitive approach to existing structures, and design buildings that make consistent use of natural conditions such as passive solar energy, airflow, cross-ventilation, and natural lighting. This volume also reinterprets the typical architecture book. It consists of two separate yet connected parts; the first presents sketches, plans, studies and models, while the second features texts and lavish photo series. HOLODECK architects bearbeiten ein breites Spektrum – vom Städtebau bis zur Ausstellungsarchitektur. Dabei zeigen ihre Arbeiten eindrucksvoll, dass anspruchsvolle Architektur auch ökologische und gesellschaftliche Fragen verhandelt. Diese werden in der Konzeption und der Ausführung bewusst reflektiert umgesetzt. So erarbeiteten HOLODECK z.B. strategische Lösungen als Alternativen zu Einfamilienhäusern, gehen behutsam mit Bestand um und entwickeln Gebäude, die natürliche Gegebenheiten wie passive Solarenergie, Luftstromverhalten, Querlüftung und natürliche Belichtung konsequent nutzen. Auch das Medium Buch wurde neu interpretiert: In zwei verbundenen Einheiten werden im einen Teil Skizzen, Pläne, Studien und Modelle präsentiert, während im anderen Teil Texte und großzügige Fotostrecken das Paket komplettieren. Mit Texten von Anjalika Sagar, Gerhard Steixner, Kijchot Nuntanasirivikrom, Alexis Kalagas, Lisz Hirn und Belinda Rukschcio Mit Fotografien von Ketsiree Wongwan, Pichak Thananchaibut, Wolfgang Thaler, Sigrun Appelt, Hertha Hurnaus, Veronika Hofinger, Paul Ott, Günter Stöger, Rita Laslsberger, Barbara Mair, Pez Hejduk, Kurt Hörbst, Grazia Ike Branco, Christian Wachter und Christian von Steffelin.

Bangkok has been at the frontier of capitalism's drive into the global south for three decades. Rapid development has profoundly altered public and private life in Thailand. In her provocative study of contemporary commerce in Bangkok, Ara Wilson captures the intimate effects of the global economy in this vibrant city. The Intimate Economies of Bangkok is a multifaceted portrait of the intertwining of identities, relationships, and economics during Bangkok's boom years. Using innovative case studies of women's and men's participation in a range of modern markets-department stores, go-go bars, a popular downtown mall, a telecommunications company, and the direct sales corporations Amway and Avon-Wilson chronicles the powerful expansion of capitalist exchange into further reaches of Thai society. She shows how global economies have interacted with local systems to create new kinds of lifestyles, ranging from "tomboys" to corporate tycoons to sex workers. Combining feminist theory with classic anthropological understandings of exchange, this historically grounded ethnography maps the reverberations of gender, sexuality, and ethnicity at the hub of Bangkok's modern economy.

Kepner's selection shows the many ways fiction has mirrored the lives of Thai women over the twentieth century. The spectrum is broad, encompassing the young and the old, the rural and the cosmopolitan, the privileged and the poor. Some writers address previously unacceptable themes: female sexuality, spousal abuse, gender oppression. Others display a scintillating sense of humor. They touch on many themes—injustice, the heartlessness of society, loneliness, the difficult choices that life presents. Susan Kepner's lyrical, faithful translations preserve the tenor and resonances of these voices, many of which will be heard for the first time by English-speaking readers.
