Abstract

"Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal are known for an architecture that privileges inhabitants' freedom and pleasure through generous, open designs. The Paris-based architects opened their 2015 lecture at Harvard University with a manifesto: study and create an inventory of the existing situation; densify without compressing individual space; promote user mobility, access, choice; and most importantly, never demolish. Freedom of Use reflects on these core values to present a fluid narrative of Lacaton and Vassal's oeuvre, articulated through processes of accumulation, addition, and extension. The architects describe built and unbuilt work, from a house in Niger made of little more than branches; to the expansive Nantes School of Architecture; to a public square in Bordeaux where, after months of study, their design solution was: do nothing."--Sternberg Press website (viewed Sept. 29, 2015)

Abstract

When Yoshi Tsukamoto and Momoyo Kaijima of the Tokyo-based firm Atelier Bow-Wow arrived at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design as guest professors, in the winter of 2016, they challenged students to deeply consider their surroundings and record their reactions as a large pencil drawing. In this “public drawing” time is suspended and expanded; futures, presents, and pasts converge; and the act of drawing becomes an instrument of dialogue and engagement.Tsukamoto and Kaijima later spoke about the project with K. Michael Hays, Eliot Noyes Professor of Architectural Theory at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, and reflected on representation, occupation, and the democracy of architecture. They unfolded their concept of an “ecology of livelihood,” wherein shadowless figures, objects, and spaces coexist with construction details. Explaining their belief in the “behavioral capacities” of humans, architecture, and nature, Tsukamoto and Kaijima revealed the generosity of spirit in their work, and the importance of pushing such capacities to their most yielding limits.

Abstract

Deze publicatie gaat dieper in op de rol die architectuur en stedenbouw kunnen spelen om een stad leefbaarder te maken. Voor het eerst in de geschiedenis woont meer dan de helft van de wereldbevolking in steden, en de trek naar de stad gaat nog steeds door. De uitdijende stad, waar steeds verscheidener groepen mensen wonen, heeft architectonische structuren nodig waardoor mensen prettig kunnen samenleven. In het eerste deel van ‘Open City’ brengen niet alleen stadsontwerpers, maar ook sociologen, etnografen, geografen, juristen, historici en economen verschillende dimensies van de open stad in kaart, en inventariseren de bedreigingen die er voor de open stad zijn. Het tweede deel van het boek presenteert ontwerpen van architecten, planologen en activisten voor een open stad die ook werkelijk zijn uitgevoerd.

Abstract

This massive book is a novel about architecture. Conceived by Rem Koolhaas, author of Delirious New York, and Bruce Mau, designer of Zone, as a free fall in the space of the typographic imagination, the book's title, Small, Medium, Large, Extra-Large, is also its framework: projects and essays are arranged according to scale. The book combines essays, manifestos, diaries, fairy tales, travelogues, a cycle of meditations on the contemporary city, with work produced by Koolhaas's Office for Metropolitan Architecture over the past twenty years. This accumulation of words and images (1,376 pages and 1,250 illustrations) illuminates the condition of architecture today, its splendours and miseries, exploring and revealing the corrosive impact of politics, context, the economy, globalisation, the world

Abstract

In 1987, Peter G. Rowe published his pioneering book Design Thinking. In it, he interrogated conceptual approaches to design in terms of both process and form. Thirty years later, in a lecture at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, Rowe offered a reappraisal of his earlier work, describing ways in which the capacities of the digital age have changed the way we perceive and understand creative problem-solving in architectural design. In this new account of 'design thinking' based on that memorable talk, Rowe charges that ideas about the 'precision' and 'incompleteness' of information have become exaggerated and made more manifest. He dives into the crucial role of schema theory and the heuristics that flow from it, but concedes that the 'ineffable characteristics of design problems and of design thinking also appear to have remained.
