What might Gianbattista Piranesi (1720-1778) contribute to today's architectural debate? Could his vision of a pensile city inspire the city of tomorrow? Archescape is a new concept based on a reading of Piranesi's 'Campo Marzio', his sublime reconstruction of ancient Rome. Archescape, a fusion of the words architecture and escape into a new 'scape' addresses two issues: the city flight that tends towards the destruction of what it looks for, and the sprawling urban footprint that is unsustainable and blocks escape. It also conceives a way out: the creation of flight lines inside a dense city. What are flight lines? Can architecture frame them? Do they avoid the fatalities that affect the longing for escape? Could they minimize the impact on the earth while maximizing the contact with nature? The book consists of three parts: a manifesto, a treatise, and a reverie. The escapist manifesto formulates an architectural theory on the basis of the flight line conceptualized by Gilles Deleuze: neither a line between two points, nor a derived function, but a line 'in between' motivated by a primary drive that engages imagination, movement, and design. The treatise of the pensile city analyzes the verbal and visual discourse of Piranesi's 'Campo Marzio', considering both his other works and his position in his time. The reverie discusses contemporary interpretations of the Campo Marzio as a negative or positive utopia, as a Manhattanist archipelago, or as a field of walls, and culminates in strolls through a future archescape. The text is illustrated by many images, a selection of which is reproduced in visual essays.

Das dem MIT angehörende Senseable City Lab unter Carlo Ratti ist eines der Forschungszentren, die sich mit den Strömen von Menschen und Waren, aber auch von Müll beschäftigen, die sich um den Globus bewegen. Erfahrungen mit infrastrukturellen Großprojekten legen nahe, dass immer komplexere und vor allem flexiblere Antworten auf Fragen des Transports oder der Entsorgung gesucht werden müssen. Der von Dietmar Offenhuber und Carlo Ratti herausgegebene Band zeigt, wie Big Data die Realität und damit die Beschäftigung mit der Stadt verändern. Er diskutiert die Auswirkungen von Echtzeitdaten auf Architektur und Stadtplanung anhand von Beispielen, die im Senseable City Lab erarbeitet wurden: Sie demonstrieren, wie das Lab digitale Daten als Material interpretiert, das für die Formulierung einer anderen urbanen Zukunft herangezogen werden kann. Nicht übersehen werden dabei die Schattenseiten der stadtbezogenen Datenerfassung und -steuerung.Die Autoren thematisieren Fragestellungen, mit welchen sich die planenden Disziplinen in der Stadt in Zukunft intensiv beschäftigen werden: Fragestellungen, die die bisherigen Aufgaben und das Selbstverständnis der beteiligten Professionen nicht nur radikal in Zweifel ziehen, sondern fundamental verändern werden. The MIT based SENSEable City Lab under Carlo Ratti is one of the research centers that deal with the flow of people and goods, but also of refuse that moves around the world. Experience with large-scale infrastructure projects suggest that more complex and above all flexible answers must be sought to questions of transportation or disposal. This edition, edited by Dietmar Offenhuber and Carlo Ratti, shows how Big Data change reality and, hence, the way we deal with the city. It discusses the impact of real-time data on architecture and urban planning, using examples developed in the SENSEable City Lab. They demonstrate how the Lab interprets digital data as material that can be used for the formulation of a different urban future. It also looks at the negative aspects of the city-related data acquisition and control. The authors address issues with which urban planning disciplines will work intensively in the future: questions that not only radically and critically review, but also change fundamentally, the existing tasks and how the professions view their own roles.

Albert Pope's 1996 seminal book Ladders is now available in a second edition. Considered a classic in the field of urbanism and one of our most requested out of print titles, Pope's provocative study of five post-war American cities examines the forces--including demographic upheavals, market expansions, and technological developments--that precipitated a change from the open system of the pre-war urban grid to the fragmented and closed spaces of suburban cul-de-sacs, expressways, and office parks. Through an incisive series of diagrams and photographs, Pope reveals the concepts, theories, and rules that have guided their organizational evolution into post architectural spaces whose character is shaped more by the effects of immense urban spaces and infrastructure than built forms. A new preface by architect and educator Pier Vittorio Aureli situates the book in the context of contemporary urban thinking and makes a compelling argument for it's continued relevance as springboard for the investigation of our contemporary cities.

The book Behind the Green Door is a richly illustrated critical portrait of the concrete consequences and paradoxes of sustainability as a dominating paradigm within architecture and urban planning.Drawing on a one-year long investigation carried out for the Oslo Architecture Triennale, Rotor presents and contextualizes the 600 objects gathered for its main exhibition (building models, samples, specialized construction tools, campaign posters, footage of lobbyist gatherings, etc.). As a secondary layer of content, the book contains 300 short comments by prominent architects, critics and scholars from around the world. The publication is presented in an accessible, visual compelling and thought-provoking manner, and will interest engaged citizens, experts, practitioners, activists and politicians alike.Rotor, founded in 2005, is a collective with a shared interest in material flows in industry and construction. With publications, lectures, and exhibitions, Rotor develops critical positions on design, material resources, waste, and reuse. On a practical level, the collective also conceives and realizes design and architectural projects.
