(P/B) ARCHITECTURE NOW! (VOL.4)
Architecture has broken out of the box, literally and figuratively. New technologies in design and construction have at last begun to utterly transform the built environment. In part because of these developments, boundaries that have separated architecture from art and design are also falling. The very idea of space and how it is manipulated has evolved through the understanding provided by a number of artists whose expression necessarily involves the third dimension. All of this curiously does not mean that Modernism is dead. It is just ...

(H/B) ARCHITECTURE IN JAPAN

(H/B) ARCHITECTURE IN THE NETHERLANDS
Dutch architecture and design are hot. Beneath an outward appearance of dullness or dryness lies an adventurous heart, and a willingness to go where few creators have gone before them. Rotterdam's own Rem Koolhaas (OMA) straddles the globe much like his huge new CCTV Tower will soon straddle Beijing, while his younger colleagues, such as Lars Spuybroek (NOX) imagine houses that sing and dance. Nor does Dutch inventiveness stop at pure architecture. Droog Design does furniture, and West 8 creates gardens all over the world. Though predictio...

(H/B) ARCHITECTURE: ART

(H/B) TADAO ANDO COMPLETE WORKS
As the 21st century takes form, it is clear there is no sense of direction or any prevalent style in architecture. Where uncertainly reigns, the desire for clear answers is all the more pressing. How can architecture respond to the need to find a spirit of this time, a way of building that neither denies the past nor glorifies it beyond reason? When urban populations rise dramatically, and the quality of life declines, the role of certain creative architects becomes central in defining the future of the built environment. Tadao Ando is on...
