During the 1990s, urban design in Flanders was premised upon a fundamental rethinking of the discipline. As elsewhere in Europe its cause could be found in the massive disuse of urban and industrial infrastructure from the nineteenth century such as slaughterhouses, barracks, railway yards and factories that became redundant in the post-industrial age. Models for expansion and modernist master plans appeared unsuitable to initiate the transformation of these brownfields. An in-depth exploration of these sites was required and urban design proved to be an interesting instrument of exploration and prospection that replaced previous modernist norms, programmatic formulas and guidelines. The pioneering urban project of the 1990s introduced a renewed interpretation of design research, as design became a research strategy and a way of conducting research.There is however still a lot of confusion and controversy over the nature of design research. In Flanders several conferences and seminars have recently been organized by different schools of architecture. Outside academia, various urban design experiments such as the Dutch AIR manifestations, the French arc en rëve and marchés de définition, or the Viennese seminars on architecture serve as laboratories for exploring pressing but ill-defined urban design issues, and projecting visions for the future in a co-productive manner by involving a wide audience in the urban debate. This dissertation investigates one particular initiative: the RUA workshops which are organized since 2002 by the Research Unit Urbanism & Architecture at the University of Leuven. Through action research, namely by co-organizing and actively taking part in four urban design workshops, the research investigates the contribution of designerly research within participatory urban design practices. Approaches for more inclusive design processes are being looked for, and how design and participation could go hand in hand or even beyond their mutual scopes. The workshops test the role of designerly research as a powerful interactive tool for collective decision-making on the spatial organization and construction of places. By emphasizing involvement of different types of users and stakeholders, designerly research may strengthen its role as a principal method used by society to envision how we want to live in the future.

This volume illustrates the historical development of the art of building with regard to changing architectural design approaches and the growing rift between design and construction. It also points to ways of how to respond to the challenges of resource and energy conservation following the early modernist motto of doing 'more with less'. Major innovations in techniques of architectural representation during the 15th and 20th centuries have caused architectural design approaches to become increasingly detached from constructional practice. In view of today's global challenges, architecture can no longer be just a question of what or how to build, but rather of how to organise and adapt advanced design tools in order to increase building performance while saving resources and energy. A new paradigm of building is needed!

Large-size working drawings are an elementary means in the architectural process and the actual construction of a building. Yet very little has been written and published about the architect’s quintessential tool. This new book aims to close this gap. It draws on a vast collection of working drawings from many centuries held by the Department of Architecture at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH Zurich). The collection, put together and categorized under the direction of Annette Spiro, comprises plans for a wide range of architectural tasks and features manifold representational techniques. The book presents around 100 of the collection’s highlights from five centuries, arranged by category for direct comparison. All plans are depicted entirely in color on large-size spreads and fold-outs. Full catalog details and a detail in true size are provided for each drawing.

Lightness and transparency in contemporary Japanese architecture explored and explained by Kengo Kuma Laboratory. In Japanese art and textile printing, the use of patterns has a long tradition. In Japanese architecture, layering is an established technique that has already inspired the likes of Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe. Now, the laboratory of world famous architect Kengo Kuma has developed a technically sophisticated methodology that unites patterns and layering in a single structural concept for the first time. Patterns and Layering presents innovative structures that are created by stacking fragile, patterned layers. Although each individual layer contains a variety of patterns, it nevertheless still completely fulfills its structural responsibilities. The results are strikingly delicate, yet remarkably stable. The book s detailed texts explain how layering and patterns function as spatial tools with which one can create extraordinary structures that are able to coexist in harmony with nature, people, and culture. Patterns and Layering not only explores historical contexts and developments, but also shows cutting-edge experiments that were realized under the supervision of Kengo Kuma and his colleague Yusuke Obuchi. According to Kuma, this book has the potential to begin a new architectural and design revolution. Editors Salvator-John A. Liotta and Matteo Belfiore, as well as other contributors, work closely with Kengo Kuma at his research laboratory at the University of Tokyo. Including design details such as silkscreen prints and calligraphy, Patterns and Layering embodies the Japanese understanding of space, nature, and architecture page for page, layer for layer.
