Brazil is in high spirits. The host of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics currently lives up to its golden 1950s when it strengthened its industry and its democratic base, won two football world championships, and gave Bossa Nova to the world. The current upswing involving booming economic growth and cultural development is accompanied by good architecture: a great number of outstanding buildings have emerged, reviving international interest in Brazilian architecture. This publication provides an exciting selection of 220 modern buildings. Considering the vastness of the country and the enormous number of projects, the selection presented here is far from exhaustive but presents a panoramic overview that helps the traveller to see good architecture.

Pets, companion animals of the people, are usually small, humorous and charming. We find what we could call pet architecture, architecture having pet like characteristics, existing in the most unexpected places within the Tokyo city limits. They are areas such as a 1-meter width space among many closely placed buildings, a small and subdivided piece of land, or a long and slender city block sandwiched between the road and the railroad. These unusual places are the byproducts of urban development and have been produced abundantly in Tokyo. This undefined space has come into existence in the marginal realm between the different city systems, or it is immanent in the city system itself! They are small and though they appear, at first glance, to be somewhat cold and distant to the surrounding environment we can say that this type of architecture adopts the attributes of pet culture and have become pets of the city environment. They too are small, humorous and charming in their own way!

This Yearbook provides a comprehensive survey of buildings that have been awarded official architectural prizes in many countries, so that the year's current trends in architecture throughout the word can be observed. The table section that forms the main part of the book presents technical data for all the buildings, listed country by country. In the second part, 40 outstanding objects are documented with photographs and plans. An index of associations, architects, and construction tasks makes this new yearbook an up-to-date, international reference work.

Even though Vitruvius includes mobile war machines, clocks, waterworks and other moving constructions in his treatises as well as buildings, architecture has traditionally been understood as an art of space, not of time, and indeed as the very image of stability. Yet the possibility of incorporating change and motion in architecture has fascinated architects since the beginning of the modern movement, if not earlier, and reflects and age-old longing to find an architectural expression in step with the most advanced developments of the times. This book analyses the ways that contemporary Dutch architects have thematized the issue of movement in their buildings and projects. The examples, drawn from the work of OMA / Rem Koolhaas, NOX Architects, Kas Oosterhuis, UN Studio, NL Architects, Bentham Crouwel, Meyer & Van Schooten, Herman Hertzberger and others, illustrate a range of approaches from metaphorical translations of motion into aerodynamic forms to the dynamization of both the design process and its results through time-based CAAD techniques and new geometries. With a theoretical framework defined by the writings of Bergson, Merleau-Ponty and Deleuze and orignal observations, Kari Jormakka charts the couse for a general theory of motion in architecture and sheds important light on the current state and future prospects of architectural design.
