Abstract

This publication inquires into the future of post-industrial cities framing and speculating on different industrial contexts: archipelagos (Eibar), fabrics (Cobo Calleja), assemblies (Detroit). Currently 55% of the world's population lives in cities, predictably reaching 70% in 2050. Cities are organisms in continuous transformation: growth, change, but also shrinking or collapse. 'Open City' explores and speculates from contemporaneity about the future of the post-industrial city, where industrial archipelagoes (S), frames (XL) and obsolete or deprogrammed singularities (M/L) represent critical contexts but also opportunities for a new Open City. Open Systems have been the research focus of CoLab since 2013. This book collects some relevant and engagingly contemporary insights. It also includes new unpublished interviews and articles with international participants leading players in this field.

Abstract

The New Normal (2017-2019) was a post-graduate program and Speculative Urbanism think-tank within Moscow’s renowned Strelka Institute of Media, Architecture, and Design. Directed by distinguished American social theorist Benjamin H. Bratton, the The New Normal conducted a collaborative research to investigate the impact of planetary-scale computation on the future of cities both in Russia and around the world.The New Normal book, edited by Benjamin H. Bratton, Nicolay Boyadjiev, and Nick Axel, features twenty-two interlinked projects that were part of the research. Published alongside are seventeen lavishly illustrated contributions by international researchers and designers that outline the wider scope of The New Normal program's output, held together by concise thematic texts contributed by Benjamin H. Bratton. Contributors include many of the most influential contemporary designers, philosophers, architects, and artists, such as Yuk Hui, Liam Young, Anastassia Smirnova, Lydia Kallipoliti, Lev Manovich, Julieta Aranda, Trevor Paglen, Metahaven, Keller Easterling, Robert Gerard Pietrusko, Molly Wright Steenson, Ben Cerveny, Rival Strategy, Geoff Manaugh, Stephanie Sherman, and Patricia Reed. The fields of research include Speculative Megastructures, Human AI Interaction Design, Protocols and Programs, Synthetic Cinema, Alt-Geographies, Platform Econometrics, and Recursive Simulation.This highly topical volume, the only comprehensive survey of research and work produced by The New Normal program, will appeal to all readers interested in the future of cities and urban design.

Abstract

Tokyo's seemingly endless sea of buildings has grown incrementally over the past centuries, leading to an urban condition that is both coherent and contradictory at the same time. The understanding of Tokyo as a continuous and interdependent urban complex is a much-neglected perspective in previous readings of the city. An attachment to the land, strong civic commitment, and a deep appreciation of the immaterial has produced a nested megastructure of smaller communities. These places have all evolved in a related way, briefly and temporarily disrupted by earthquakes and a devastating war. Over time, a set of distinct urban patterns emerged through centralisation processes, the manshon urbanisation , the relocation of various types of manufacturing, and other developments. What might appear homogeneous in composition and rhythm is in fact a configuration of distinctly different spaces, created by the routines of everyday life that make the district of Shinjuku different from Shimokitazawa or Kitamoto. This book not only provides the first comprehensive reading of the many urbanisation processes shaping Tokyo today, but also seeks an entirely new approach for looking at megacity regions: through their differences, and the way those differences are produced in the course of everyday life.

Abstract

Dit jaarboek toont de beste en mooiste projecten van 2020. Zoals een gloednieuwe eilandengroep in het Markermeer, bijzondere dijkvormen op Texel en langs de Maas, een circulaire woonwijk in Amsterdam-Noord, een met bewoners ontwikkeld fabrieksterrein in Eindhoven, een nieuw stadshart voor Uithuizen, en een nieuw station mét omgeving in Assen. Stuk voor stuk prachtige plekken en plannen waarin - dat is de focus van dit boek - diversiteit, duurzaamheid en innovatie voorop staan.De projecten zijn gekozen door een onafhankelijke commissie van vakmensen. De redactie van het tijdschrift Blauwe Kamer verzorgde de samenstelling. Naast de bevindingen van de commissie en een beschrijving van de geselecteerde projecten bevat het jaarboek onder andere een portret van Yttje Feddes - winnaar van de Bijhouwerprijs voor haar bijdrage aan de landschapsarchitectuur - en een essay van rijksadviseur Berno Strootman over 'landschapsinclusieve' landbouw. The yearbook compiled by the editors of 'Blauwe Kamer' magazine consists of out- standing projects showcasing the range of urban and landscape design that the Netherlands has to offer. Among them are new housing in both densified cities and the countryside, activism in design, engineer- ing through beauty in infrastructure, and remarkable ways to create public space. The chosen projects were selected by an independent committee, and in addition to the committee's findings the book con- tains a photo reportage on public space in current times of worldwide pandemic and demonstrations.

Abstract

From climate change to migration, all across the world cities are having to come to terms with contemporary challenges for which there are few easy answers. 'The Amsterdam Agenda' invites 12 urban thinkers to share their knowledge, insights, and vision for the future of cities in light of today's ongoing transformations. Be it the repercussions of over-tourism, alternative forms of civic engagement, or incorporating new technologies into existing infrastructure, these are urgent issues with global impact. Based on a 2018 lecture series at the Amsterdam Academy of Architecture, 'The Amsterdam Agenda' brings together the views of today's brightest names from the fields of architecture, planning, activism, and more. Initiated by Daan Roggeveen (MORE Architecture) and Michiel Hulshof (Tertium), the pair co-wrote the acclaimed How the City Moved to Mr Sun examining China's new megacities.

Abstract

De stedenbouwkunde schept de ruimtelijke condities voor het functioneren van de burgerlijke samenleving. Fundamenteel daarin is het onderscheid tussen openbaar en privaat domein. De kerntaak van de stedenbouwkunde is daarom het ontwerp van de stadsplattegrond, waarmee de indeling van het grondgebied in openbare en private gronden wordt vastgelegd. Bij zo?n ontwerp spelen ontwikkelingen in het programma en het ruimtegebruik van de stad een rol, wordt de openbare ruimte ontworpen en ingericht, en worden regels voor het bouwen geformuleerd. Stedenbouw biedt een overzicht van de grondslagen van de stedenbouwkundige discipline en behandelt de relevantie van deze grondslagen voor de opgaven van de 21e eeuw. 0.

Abstract

In dit theoretische traktaat gaat Marcel Smets op zoek naar de fundamenten van het stadsontwerp. Twintig korte hoofdstukken ontleden centrale concepten uit de praktijk van urbanisatie en stedenbouw, en dit aan de hand van complementaire begrippenparen en kenschetsende voorbeelden. Na zijn jarenlange ervaring in onderwijs, onderzoek, ontwerp en beleid bundelt professor Marcel Smets, grondlegger van het stadsontwerp en voormalig Vlaams Bouwmeester, zijn inzichten over stad en stedenbouwkundig ontwerp in een persoonlijk boekje. In zijn zoektocht naar de fundamenten van het stadsontwerp schuift Marcel Smets twintig complementaire begrippenparen naar voren. Hij vertrekt van archetypische nederzettingsvormen (lint en tros, ladder en ster), typeert morfologische categorieën (straat en weg, eiland en archipel) en belicht veranderende ontwerpprocessen (creator en curator, stappenplan en groeitraject). De begrippenparen zijn geïllustreerd met tekeningen van Heinrich Altenmüller.

Abstract

Unter der Leitung der mexikanischen Architektin Tatiana Bilbao stellten sich dreizehn Architektenbüros sowie -studenten aus den Vereinigten Staaten und Mexiko der monumentalen Aufgabe, die komplexe und dynamische Region der US-mexikanischen Grenze einzufangen und neu zu definieren. "Two Sides of the Border" untersucht die spannungsgeladene Region anhand der ausgewählten Themen Migration, Wohnen und Städte, Kreativwirtschaft und lokale Produktion, Tourismus und territoriale Ökonomie. Aufbauend auf einer langen gemeinsamen Geschichte in der Region nutzen die vorgestellten Projekte Design und Architektur, um soziale, politische und ökologische Anliegen entlang der Grenze zu berücksichtigen. In einer Kombination aus Essays, Forschungsarbeiten, Interviews und einer grossen Fotostrecke von Iwan Baan hebt "Two Sides of the Border" die besonderen Qualitäten dieses Ortes hervor und nutzt Architektur, Forschung und Fotografie, um eine alternative Realität innerhalb einer umkämpften Region zu artikulieren.

Abstract

Vademecum: 77 Minor Terms for Writing Urban Places' offers a set of concepts that stimulate new approaches in planning, architecture, urban design, policy and other practices of spatial development. These diverse concepts might reveal blind spots in urban discourse or bring insights from one discipline to another. The term 'minor' refers to the ambition to look at the local and social specificity of urban places, and to challenge established discursive frameworks by giving voice to multiple actors in the debate.This publication hopes to be a field guide that inspires spatial professionals, researchers, students and communities to exchange knowledge, to engage with urban places and to discover and develop responsible approaches to current urban challenges.
