Rethinking Chongqing: Mixed-Use and Super-Dense presents the work of a Edward P. Bass Studio at the Yale School of Architecture, co-taught by real estate developer Vincent Lo, founder and chairman of Shui-On Land, the Yale Bass Fellow, and Paul Katz, James von Klemperer, and Forth Bagley, managing principal, design principal, and senior associate, respectively, of the international architecture firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates. Chongqing, one of China's four directly-controlled municipalities, is a rapidly growing economic hub of western China with a rich urban history. As it seeks to expand its urbanized boundaries and redirect economic growth towards the high-tech manufacturing and service industries, it is also investing enormous resources in new transit infrastructure, parks, cultural facilities, and other public amenities. The site of the studio project is the soon to be redeveloped site of the central rail terminal, a critica

All structures are designed by renowned, highly sought--after architectural firms. "Only value endures" is the guiding principle of the Schmitz family, the real estate developers for subdued luxury. This is precisely what the founder of the company mandated in 1864. Today, the company embodies the same values: developing and building high-quality residential estates on exclusive properties on the basis of a building culture that stands for architectural perfection.

Issue 10 of the Cornell Journal of Architecture will collect a spectrum of specters from the phenomenal to the digital, and question the role and the possibilities of the spirit in architecture today.In distilling, the small amount of alcohol evaporated during the aging process is known as the angels share. at is, while lost to us, the alcohol does not cease to exist, but instead is given to or taken by the angels.Architectures own angels sharethe notion of an absent and intangible otherhas too been personi ed. From Genius Loci to Zeitgeist, the gure of the spirit is perhaps the most fundamental component of architecture, even before walls or columns. Whether phenomenal or conceptual, without this ickering spirit, one might say, there is no architecture. As technology enables the virtual realm to be inhabited in more everyday ways, the notion of another kind of spirit becomes more present yet more blurred. e digital, as architectures alternate and now ickering specter, skirmishes with architectures existing ghosts.

"La relación entre la arquitectura residencial y ecológica se acerca cada vez más con cada día que pasa. Hay una conciencia creciente de lo que significa desperdiciar energía y recursos naturales.

A Sustainable Bodega/Hotel in Rioja presents the studio of the Yale Edward P. Bass Distinguished Visiting Architecture Fellowship taught by John Spence, entrepreneur and chairman of Karma Resorts worldwide with architect Andy Bow, a senior partner at Foster & Partners in London; environmental engineer Patrick Bellew, principal of Atelier Ten, London; and Timothy Newton of the Yale faculty.The studio proposed designs for a world-class winery and hotel complex in Rioja, Spain where wineries are both vernacular and exuberant in design. The students were challenged to address social, economic, and environmental sustainability in a holistic and integrated way. The project resulted in a range of strategies to sustainably harvest, engage local workforce, integrate landscape, and source materials responsibly. The project features attractions and symbiotic food production to facilitate tourist visits. Edited by Henry Chan and Nina Rappaport the book is designed by MGMT.

Clinical means "relating to a clinic", but also "based on observation of an individual. It also means "analytical".

Colliding modern architecture, theatrically informed photography, and surreal poetry and prose.

SOUPERgreen!--Souped Up Green Architecture features projects and essays that offer a critique of the prevailing approach to "green" architecture by interrogating the architectural discipline's fairly narrow expectations for "environmental performance," which are predominantly evaluated through scientific calculation and quantifiable measurement. In contrast, SOUPERgreen! re-examines the very nature of the environment as a human construct rather than a given condition--as a manifestation of philosophy's long-recognized epistemological gap between reality and its appearance. The book therefore addresses the manner in which the constructed nature of the environment both problematizes the assumption of humanity's ability to objectively calculate and measure it, and also leads to habits and behaviors that are detrimental to the environment. It also argues that aesthetic "performances" are necessary to reveal new forms of environmental engagement, and that architecture's unique aesthetic and spatial expertise might therefore be leveraged for valuable types of environmental performances that profoundly alter, enhance, and transform the public's understanding of and actions toward the environment.

The New Localism provides a roadmap for change that starts in the communities where most people live and work.In their new book, The New Localism, urban experts Bruce Katz and Jeremy Nowak reveal where the real power to create change lies and how it can be used to address our most serious social, economic, and environmental challenges.Power is shifting in the world: downward from national governments and states to cities and metropolitan communities; horizontally from the public sector to networks of public, private and civic actors; and globally along circuits of capital, trade, and innovation.This new locus of powerthis new localismis emerging by necessity to solve the grand challenges characteristic of modern societies: economic competitiveness, social inclusion and opportunity; a renewed public life; the challenge of diversity; and the imperative of environmental sustainability. Where rising populism on the right and the left exploits the grievances of those left behind in the global economy, new localism has developed as a mechanism to address them head on.New localism is not a replacement for the vital roles federal governments play; it is the ideal complement to an effective federal government, and, currently, an urgently needed remedy for national dysfunction.In The New Localism, Katz and Nowak tell the stories of the cities that are on the vanguard of problem solving. Pittsburgh is catalyzing inclusive growth by inventing and deploying new industries and technologies. Indianapolis is governing its city and metropolis through a network of public, private and civic leaders. Copenhagen is using publicly owned assets like their waterfront to spur large scale redevelopment and finance infrastructure from land sales.Out of these stories emerge new norms of growth, governance, and finance and a path toward a more prosperous, sustainable, and inclusive society. Katz and Nowak imagine a world in which urban institutions finance the future through smart investments in innovation, infrastructure and children and urban intermediaries take solutions created in one city and adapt and tailor them to other cities with speed and precision.

Beyond Environment presents the potent interchange between architecture, Land Art, and Performance Art that emerged through Italian architect Gianni Pettena''s idealized collaboration with American artists Allan Kaprow and Robert Smithson in the 1970s. Captivated by a journey to the USA in 1971, Pettena would converse with the American Midwest, a conversation culminating in his meeting with Robert Smithson in Salt Lake City. Earlier in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Pettena''s experiments in material trans- formations helped create some of the architect''s most iconic works. Staged in an abandoned school and in a non-descriptive suburban house, and titled Ice House I and II, Pettena would pour water into the mold works he created around the buildings'' perimeter walls. Curing during the winter night to a coat of ice, the houses resonated with their conceptual predecessor,Kaprow''s Fluids of 1967, as well as with an incomparable contemporary architectural sensibly concerned with the effects of variedly compounded, highly eidetic archi- tectural surfaces.Emanuele Piccardo is an architect and a curator working from Genoa, Italy; Amit Wolf is an architect, curator, and Lecturer at Southern California Institute of Architecture, Los Angeles.With contributions and works of Peter Cook, Allan Kaprow, Robert Smithson, Gordon Matta Clark, Superarchitecture; and interviews with Gianni Pettena, Ugo La Pietra, Lapo Binazzi, Fabio Sargentini.
