Eine utopische Vision aus der Krisenzeit nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg wiedergelesen: Seit Sommer 1918 hatte Bruno Taut politische und vor allem sozialistisch geprägte Texte gesammelt. Auszüge aus Aufsätzen zu Stadt- und Bodenfragen, insgesamt 82 Seiten, bereitete er so auf, dass sie zusammen mit 30 eigenhändigen Zeichnungen die Erdoberfläche als eine 'gute Wohnung' für alle Menschen beschreiben. Voraussetzung dazu war seiner Ansicht nach die Eliminierung aller Städte und Staaten. Tauts Ziel war es, die Konsequenzen einer gleichmäßigen Verteilung der Menschen unter den Bedingungen eines glücklichen, aus innerer Notwendigkeit jedes Einzelnen entstehenden Bedürfnisses zu zeigen. Das Buch sollte seine Leser zu Reflexionen befähigen, 'auf das hin, was in der Gegenwart beim Bau neuer Siedlungen zu beachten ist.' Ihren unbegrenzten Formenreichtum könnte man fast vegetabil und biologisch nennen. Mitgedacht sind hier Konzepte für Verkehrsplanung, Energieversorgung und Selbstversorgertum. Mit Textauszügen von Friedrich Engels, Gustav Theodor Fechner, Friedrich Hölderlin, Pjotr Kropotkin, Gustav Landauer, Wladimir Iljitsch Lenin, Friedrich Nietzsche, Novalis, W. H. Prescott, Paul Scheerbart, Lew Nikolajewitsch Tolstoi, Walt Whitman u.v.a.

In Weak and Widespread modernity stands as a contrasting operative practice when compared to that of the 20th century which was based on finding definitive solutions to old and new problems of industrial society. Todays architecture and urban planning tends to operate through reversible solutions taking their references from models that are incomplete imperfect and elastic. Precisely for this reason they are capable of withstanding the continuous processes of innovation.

Many architects dream of being able to create the same spaces as in Spiller's designs. His work probes into the world of hyper-reality and cyberspace. It investigates a world that is yet to be reached and opens up possibilities for architects.

An Atlas of Another America' is a work of speculative architectural fiction and theoretical analysis of the American single-family house and its native habitat, the suburban metropolis. Mass-marketed and endlessly multiplied, and the definitive symbol of success in America and around the world, the suburban house has also become a global economic calamity and an impending environmental catastrophe. Yet, as both object and idea, it remains largely unexamined from an architectural perspective. This new book fills this gap through projects and essays that reflect upon, critique, and reformulate the equation that binds the house as an object to the American dream as a concept. Adopting tone and format of an historical architectural treatise, it builds upon an eminent lineage of architectural research from Piranesi and Ledoux to Branzi and Koolhaas in which imaginary but not implausible worlds are constructed through drawing in order to reframe reality and reorient the discipline towards new territories of action.
