In this Subjective Atlas of Luxembourg more than 100 creative minds with a relationship to Luxembourg map the country according to a subject close to them – whether through maps, infographics, photo series or other cartographic explorations. Their compiled subjective points of view and dots on the map are a snapshot of people allowing different influences to come together to create a pluralistic identity. That identity resembles a kaleidoscope in which particles of colour and shape are constantly shifting. The complexity of this little nation, which is a unique melting pot of ideas, attitudes and cultural inputs, deserves a detailed, profound, critical and genuine analysis. This atlas won’t tell you to find your way, but you will encounter views from within, insider perspectives, from which you can draw your own conclusions. The multitude of visual voices in this atlas present other realities that help to make us understand the specificity and sensitivity of Luxembourg society. It challenges to develop new languages to speak about who we are and how we can relate.

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the first man on the moon, this book for the first time ever looks at the artifacts left behind on the moon from the perspective of architecture. The book looks at every single mission, manned and unmanned, that has actually landed on the moon. It covers the time of the beginning of the Soviet and American space race with the landing of Luna 2 in 1959, to the present with China's Chang'e 3 moon rover. This architectural guide differentiates itself from other scientific and educational books through its abstract approach to the topic of architecture on the moon. The content does not feature science fiction, but rather the question of what exists and what implications these bizarre structures hold for the future of architecture on other planets, as these topics are quite pertinent in today's world of the commercialization of spaceflight, with SpaceX and NASA planning to take humans to Mars in the next 15 years. The guide brings together authors both from the East and the West. Contributors on the Russian side include Galina Balashova, the famous architect of the Soviet space program, and the expert Alexander Glushko, son of the deceased chief engineer of the Soviet space program, Valentin Glushko. Further contributions by Evangelos Kotsioris (MoMA), Brian Harvey (China), Gurbir Singh (India), and Olga Bannova (University of Houston).

Wat maakt een gemeenschappelijk landschap tot een publieke ruimte? Rond deze vraag creëerde Gentse stadsresident Elly Van Eeghem een audiovisuele voorstelling met foto’s, videobeelden, maquettes, kaarten en stemopnames van bewoners en stadsplanners. Met ‘(Dis)placed interventions’ schept ze verwondering, inzicht én verwarring over de ruimtes die we als bewoners en gebruikers van de stad met elkaar delen.Sinds 2012 richt kunstenaar Elly Van Eeghem haar blik en lens op hoe steden veranderen. In de voorbije zes jaar werkte ze in verschillende stadswijken in Parijs, Berlijn, Montreal en Gent. Ze gebruikte foto- en video-opnames, acties in de publieke ruimte en archiefbeelden om collectieve interventies met lokale buurtbewoners op gang te brengen.Het verzamelde materiaal komt uit de verschillende stadswijken, waar Elly de afgelopen jaren werkte rond de verbeelding van stadsontwikkeling en co-creatie van publieke ruimte. In deze publicatie als afronding van haar artistiek onderzoek aan KASK Gent, laat Elly Van Eeghem zich inspireren door het verstedelijkt landschap en het ontwerp en gebruik van de stad.

Paradoxically, the Danish welfare city has proved both a historical success and – perhaps – an even greater failure in the late modern era. While cities like Copenhagen and Aarhus bask in international attention and admiration over the high quality of life they offer, cities in general are facing serious economic imbalances and long-term structural challenges that hamper their economic and sustainable development. Within a short period of time, the Danish ‘welfare cities’have developed into ‘well-off cities’ for the affluent.Critical Cityis a debate book that uses essays, images and interviews with leading architects and urbanists to discuss the Danish welfare city anno 2019.

Africa has become the worlds's fastest urbanising continent. This urbanisation is a huge challenge in areas with fragile institutional frameworks and chronic poverty. Existing cities often become overcrowded and congested. In response to this, both state and private developers increasingly see a market for New Towns - comprehensively planned, mixed-use urban developments on greenfield sites. To illustrate the extent of this phenomenon, the authors calculate that if all the New Towns in Africa that were announced by 2018 meet their targets, 77 million people in Africa (or nearly 10 percent of the total urban population), will be living in New Towns by 2030.In many cases, these New Towns end up attracting these New Towns end up attracting mainly international companies and catering exclusively to the middle- and upper-income groups, disregarding the low-income groups who make up the majority of Africa's urban dwellers, and failing to adequately address ecological vulnerabilities.In To Build a City in Africa the authors explore the complex implications of these new developments through interviews with different stakeholders, in-depth case studies of five African New Towns, and essays that elaborate specific issues connected to these New Towns. An Atlas places these developments within a broader geographical and historical context, examining related aspects such fertility, mortgage rates, and car ownership. The conclusions of the research are presented in the Manual, a set of ten design and planning principles. The Manual offers an alternative approach for planners, developers and other decision-makers aiming to construct more inclusive and substatantial New Towns in Africa. -- Back Cover.
