Glenn Sestig, born in 1968 in Ghent, Belgium, graduated from the Henri Van De Velde institute in Antwerp and in 1999 established his practice. From the outset, his work focused on extreme precision, on a construction with such mastery of the architectural line, proportions and perspective that it is easy to forget the careful consideration that will have gone into his design and creation. In addition to the material and its interpretation, transparency and the play of reflection suggest rather than illustrate the endeavors that have resulted in the real grandeur of some projects, primarily places for public use.Glenn Sestig Architects is synonymous with contemporary elegance. Their work can be seen as monolithic and intuitive but always with a strong refined architectural identity. The cohesion or even clash between different exclusive and unique materials elevates this identity. Therefore the architect uses his own method of calculation, a sort of mental model from which flow the intelligence, equilibrium and soul of a place. Each completed work is considered as a minor work of art wherein art, fashion and music are essential sources of inspiration. The architecture is no longer a movement in time but becomes a declaration of a clear architectural vocabulary.

This book focuses on sustainability concepts in architecture and urban design, environmental issues, and natural resources. Today it has become essential to reduce carbon emissions, protect habitats, and preserve the delicate ecosystems of our planet. Accordingly, sustainable development has to be improved by decreasing the consumption of non-renewable resources, in order to help nature replenish itself.Further, it highlights the efforts that have been made by architects, environmentalists, engineers, students, planners and everyone in between in order to improve sustainability in various developing communities and countries.

"The intense social and environmental fervor that arose in the 1960s and 1970s in response to assaults on the planet's life support systems, degradation of communities, and socio-economic inequality unleashed revolutionary change at all levels of society. Out of the turmoil of that era, community-based ecological design emerged as a powerful creative force for reshaping the commons, bringing people together, and forming ecologically sustainable relationships with the environment. The stories in this book reveal how the revolution has played out in re-conceiving public places in the landscape of every-day life in northern California. The text focuses on the broad human, social, environmental, and cultural aspects of place-making to create livable, inclusive, sustainable, and treasured spaces. The aesthetic experience of each place is revealed through photos, diagrams, sketches, and plans. Success stories like these offer hope, so sorely needed, for dealing with the seemingly insurmountable current assaults on earth's life support systems" --

How can design be used to challenge the status quo, to interrupt the jargon, to disrupt and redirect ecological and socio-economic flows? LA+ Journal's fourth international design ideas competition invited designers to take an established place and design something to productively interrupt both its cultural and spatial context. What does this mean? It means injecting something different into a given context to effect new meanings and new functions. It means questioning what design does, who it's designed for, what it looks like, and what it means. Issue #17 brings you the results of the LA+ INTERRUPTION design competition. As well as showcasing the award-winning designs and a comprehensive Salon des Refusés, LA+ INTERRUPTION features interviews with jurors Fiona Raby, Martin Rein-Cano, Mark Raggatt, Rania Ghosn, and Jason Zhisen Ho, and an essay by Katya Crawford, coauthor of the The Design Competition in Landscape Architecture(forthcoming).

Die psychiatrische Heilanstalt in Haar übernahm bei ihrer Gründung 1905 die Idee der Reformarchitektur. Locker im Park verteilte Einzelhäuser sollten der Genesung dienen. Mit dieser Gartenstadtidee wurde ein riesiges Gelände mit über 100 Gebäuden erschlossen. Ein ländlicher Jugendstil prägte die Krankenstadt, die heute unter Denkmalschutz steht. Nach Ende des psychiatrischen Betriebs beschloss die Gemeinde, die Pracht ihrer Heilanstalt einer neuen lukrativen Nutzung zuzuführen. Der "Jugendstilpark" rund um die Kirche "Maria Sieben Schmerzen" wurde 2010 an zwei Bauträger verkauft, die das alte "Irrenhaus" in eine lebendige Parksiedlung verwandeln sollten. Neben dem Umbau des Bestands lag der Schwerpunkt in der Nachverdichtung. Der Architekturwettbewerb 2012 suchte nach einem überzeugenden Verhältnis der Gegenwartsarchitektur zum historischen Stil. Bogevischs buero, die als Sieger gekürt wurden, entwickelten eine ausbalancierte Gestaltungsphilosophie von Annäherung und Distanz. In der lockeren Verteilung der Solitäre im Parkraum folgen die Neubaureale dem Geist der Pavillonarchitektur. Allerdings sind die neuen Wohnblöcke im Kontrast zum alten linearen Plan eher angeordnet wie ein Wurf aus dem Würfelbecher. Auch die Fassadengestaltung nähert sich vorgefundenen Themen an, vermeidet aber zu buchstäbliche Anleihen. Motive wie Erker abgeschlossen mit Terrassen, Walmdächer und erhöhte Erdgeschosse werden aufgenommen. Doch im Gegensatz zur Auffassung des Jugendstils, Lebensgefühl durch dekorative Kunstfertigkeit auszudrücken, folgt das ruhige Erscheinungsbild des Neuen der Idee einer akzentuierten Reduktion.Gemeinsames Anliegen, unterschiedlicher Charakter. So lassen sich die Eingriffe durchgängig lesen, die bogevischs buero mit dem rechten Gefühl für kulturhistorische Nachbarschaft in Haar unternommen hat.

This book's point of departure rests on the premises that dimensions of the mainstream inclusive city discourse fail to capture in detail vulnerable clusters of society (being women, children, and the aging), the minority clusters (i.e., the blind, the disabled), and migrants. In addition, it fails to recognize the increase of spatial inequality driven by racial and class differences-a factor that has seen an increase in community violence and protests. The focus on spatial inequality has, for a long time, blind-folded urban authorities to ignore exclusion arising out of the same environments created with a notion of creating inclusivity. Hence this book "e;collapses spatial walls"e; as it seeks to uncover the true perspectives of inclusivity in cities beyond spatial dimensions but within social realms. The depth of this book's enquiry rests on its critical investigation of Southern African cities' through historical epochs of apartheid and colonialism in the region.

"White Cube" used to be the common term for exhibition space for contemporary art, expressing the purist attitude of modernism. The story of 'art in the countryside', related over five chapters of this book, covering the period from the post-war years to the immediate present, is intended to present an alternative history of this art location. This exhibition venue, tentatively named "Green Cube" or "Green Fields" (in deference to an essay by the art historian Rosalind Strauss), includes "classic" sculpture parks, as well as large-scale natural contexts, in which art exerted a critical impact in continuation of the Land Art approaches of the 1960s. The increased environmental and nature awareness of our era has led to an new renaissance of this open-air art venue, which has taken on a variety of forms: It ranges from representative private parks as an expression of a renewed sensitivity to nature, through performative art forms, all the way to more political approaches that seek a new relationship between nature and culture. After the "White Cube" era, "Green Fields", whether park or landscape, has emerged as the preferred venue for postmodern space-related art in natural environments and which, in its opportunities and desire for staging, actually connects to the traditions of historical garden art.

This book delivers a realistic and feasible framework for creating resilient landscapes in an era of anthropogenic climate change.

For over seventy years, private cars have dominated public space in German cities. In the Free Street Manifesto, a creative-academic alliance fundamentally challenges this status quo, highlighting the forgotten and unrecognized characteristics of streets and the opportunities they present. In doing so, the alliance focuses on a communal spatial resource that we, in times of climate change, digitalization, and social inequality, urgently need to learn to use differently. Through images, comics, graphics, and succinct scientific insights, the Free Street Manifesto points the way to a future full of exciting possibilities-and demonstrates that our streets should be more than just a route from A to B.

After the discovery of oil, the Kuwaiti State established a means of wealth distribution for its citizens through housing programmes aimed at improving standards of living. It allocated residential neighbourhoods for Kuwaitis and non-Kuwaitis through the introduction of two main architectural typologies: the apartment and the villa. However, in response to certain economic, sociocultural and regulatory constraints, an unplanned hybrid typology has recently emerged. The multiplex, specific to Kuwait and yet not officially recognised by the state, has become the informal expression of specific living needs that is now ubiquitous across Kuwait.Here, for the first time, the authors of "The Multiplex Typology" explore everyday life in these hybrid homes, arguing that the one-size-fits-all housing model of the past is both outdated and unsustainable. But this book is not merely a documentation of the current state of living in Kuwait, nor a straightforward analysis of Kuwaiti domestic architecture today. It is also an urgent and timely call for alternative approaches to housing that are sustainably driven, culturally rooted and responsive to future change.

Urban riverbanks are attractive locations and highly prized recreational environments. However, they must meet the requirements of flood control, open space design and ecology at the same time, often a challenging task for the designer in very confined spaces. The book, the result of a study lasting several years, subjects more than 60 exemplary projects to a comparative analysis. The result is a systematic catalogue of strategies and innovative design tools. The designer and planner thus obtains an overview of the range of design possibilities. Eight new case studies from China, Italy, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland were selected and added for the enlarged edition of this reference work on riverbank design.

Taming the Oriental Bazaar examines the public market-hall as a key architectural feature of colonial South Asia. Representing a transition in the architectural programme, these buildings were meant to be monuments and markers of modernity in South Asia.

Mobilising resources drawn from semiotic materialism and the environmental humanities, this book seeks a form of social theory from the mangroves; that is to think interstitiality from the perspective of mangroves themselves, exploring the crafty and tenacious world-making they are engaged in.
