Architecture is becoming more global and exchangeable. In surprising collages, SHAPE shows how architecture does not depend on scale or location. Consumer consumption icons are taken out of context and set in landscapes and cityscapes. It suddenly becomes possible to visualize a seemingly natural architectural setting. Rem Koolhaas also showed how current this theme is with "Absorbing Modernity" at the Venice biennial.

Farbe ist unlosbar mit der Architektur verbunden - als Medium der Gestaltung, aber auch als eigene Qualitat pragt sie Form und Textur des Gebauten. Das Buch prasentiert Farbgestaltungen avancierter Architektur, die in technologischer wie in asthetischer Hinsicht auerordentlich sind, fur ein breites Spektrum von Bauaufgaben: vom Apartment zur Konzerthalle, vom Flagship Store zum Stadtpark.

A. R. Ammons once said, "A word too much repeated falls out of being," and although the term Big Data sometimes seems to be "too much repeated," it's not about to fall "out of being." That said, it is subject to a lot of hype. The term Big Data is a bit of a misnomer. Truth be told, we're not even big fans of the term--despite the fact that it is so prominently displayed on the cover of this book--because it implies that other data is somehow small (it might be) or that this...

Materials play a central role in society. Beyond the physical and chemical properties of materials, their cultural properties have often been overlooked in anthropological studies: finished products have been perceived as 'social' yet the materials which comprise them are considered 'raw' or natural'. The Social Life of Materials proposes a new perspective in this interdisciplinary field. Diverting attention from the consumption of objects, the book looks towards the properties of materials and how these exist through many transformations in a variety of cultural...

As the distinction between the digital and the material world becomes increasingly blurred, the ways in which we think about design are also shifting and evolving. How can the human, digital and material be brought together to intervene in the world? What constitutes our digital-material environments? How can we engage with digital technologies to make sustainable, healthy and meaningful decisions, both now and in the future?

Digital Materialities presents twelve chapters by scholars and practitioners working at the intersection between design and digital research in the UK,...
