The Rooted City

Blauwdruk Publishers 2016 ISBN 9789075271935 Acqn 25769
Pb 16x22cm 200pp 80ills 45col 18
Cities and landscape are inextricably linked. Without landscape there is no city and without city
there is no landscape as we know it. Nowadays it is hard to hold on to the distinction between
landscape and city the whole planet has become urban. This raises new questions. How can
cities defend themselves against climate change? How can you guarantee the supply of drinking
water in cities with tens of millions of residents? What can be done about smog choking
metropoles? Is food security possible if there is less and less fertile farmland? Rooted City
investigates these questions by means of an essay and examples of thirty European cities.

China's Turn
The Architecture Observer 2016 ISBN 9789492058034 Acqn 26244
Pb 15x20cm 160pp 60ills 10col 22.50
If past centuries belonged to Europe and much of the last century has been dominated by
America, then now it is Chinas turn. For decades, the nation has experienced unprecedented
economic growth, and it managed to evade the Wests economic recession. It has gained a
significant economic presence in nearly every part of the world. Yet China is now in the midst of
an economic slowdown, which impacts its architecture, urban planning, and infrastructure, both at
home and abroad. Nanne de Ru and Hans Ibelings undertake a closer examination of this
process, with reports from Canada, Portugal, Angola, South Africa, Indonesia, the United
Kingdom, and Central and South America.

Volume 48 - The Research Turn

Archis Foundation 2016 ISBN 9789077966488 Acqn 26424
Pb 20x27cm 152pp 50col ills 17.50
The extent to which economic value is placed on knowledge today forces us to reconsider its
social role and our relation to it. Research, the general category for processes of knowledge
production, has become omnipresent in both education and practice. Today its not so important
what you know but rather how you think. Progress, in this sense, is predicated by critical
reflection on ways of knowing and disciplinary traditions of thought. This issue of Volume the
second in our series on learning is dedicated to mapping the contemporary field of research in
architecture, art and the social sciences. We wanted to learn from those who have been
instrumental in shifting the boundaries and shaping todays landscape of creative knowledge
production. What follows is an issue comprised entirely of dialogues.
