Features design projects by students of the 15th Edward P. Bass Visiting Distinguished Architecture Fellowship studio held at the Yale School of Architecture and taught by Abby Hamlin (Bass fellow and founder of Hamlin Ventures), Dana Tang (architect and partner at Gluckman Tang Architects) and Andrei Harwell (Yale School of Architecture faculty member)--Page 11

An annual journal that includes samples of student work and activities at the School during each academic year, is edited by students and published by the School.

This is the fifth book documenting the Louis I. Kahn Visiting Assistant Professorship featuring the work of young architect-practitioners teaching in the advanced studios at Yale. The studios each explore new typologies and include the themes, "Once Upon A House," taught by Hernan Diaz Alonzo of the L.A. based architectural practice Xefirotarch, which examined the relationship of types versus species, where type is viewed as "categories of standardization, then species are malleable entities in constant metamorphosis." The brief called for a house to occupy a site in three acts by employing a cellular spatial logic. In subverting the typology of the house, the studio presents radical possibilities of inhabitation. In the "Expanded Mosque," taught by Makram El Kadi and Ziad Jamaleddine of the New York and Beirut-based architectural practice L.E.F.T. the students critiqued architecturally both an imported Modernism that is dissociated from contextual consideration and a reconstruction of the present in the image of an idealized past. The program of the mosque does not only serve a purely liturgical function, but is also an important community gathering place. The studio examined how the physical space of the mosque and social space of Islam can have a dialogue with other programs, religious or secular. The studio questioned the stagnating typology of the mosque in an attempt to project new possibilities for the future for a site of a World's Fair designed by Oscar Niemeyer in Tripoli. In the advanced studio, "Re-Storing Public Possessions," Geoff Shearcroft, Vincent Lacovara, Tom Coward, and Daisy Froud of the London-based architectural practice AOC investigated the increasing emphasis on material artifacts and demand for 'hard' storage in this digital world. The studio examined the established public repositories of London-the V&A Museum, the Tate Gallery, the British Museum, the British Library, and the Royal Armouries-and how they might evolve in response to the changing demands of the contemporary public to create a participative and productive architecture. The book features interviews with the professors. "

Future Proofing is the second in a series of books that documents the Edward P. Bass Distinguished Visiting Architecture Fellowship at the Yale School of Architecture. The first was Poetry, Property, and Place 01: Stefan Behnisch / Gerald Hines (also available from Norton).

"What can the hybrid building and urbanism do to help support and shape the future of flexible, innovative cities? How can hybrid models change with new technologies, sustainable manufacturing, and advanced production systems? How do we break the planning and land-use patterns of segregated zoning by class and function and encourage mixed-use zoning? These questions and more are addressed in Hybrid Factory / Hybrid City, through a collection of essays by participants in the eponymous symposium organized by Nina Rappaport at the Future Urban Legacy Lab of the Politecnico di Torino. Divided into two sections that mirror the chief conference topics, the collected essays describe projects and research by the contributors, each according to their area of expertise, regarding factory buildings, logistical centers, their potential for mixed use and reuse to support social and economic equity. The essays conclude with a roundtable discussion between the authors that reflects on urban production during COVID-19."--Back cover.

This book focuses on the spaces of production in cities that are significant in their design and contribute to a vital urban environment. This book reexamines the modernist and contemporary factory, along with labor issues in the city and the impact of globalization through the lens of an urbanist, while provoking future scenarios for urban manufacturing. It shows now factories are cleaner and greener, smaller and taller, hybrid and flexible, they can be reintegrated in city life, creating a new paradigm for a sustainable, mixed-use, and more self-sufficient industrial urbanism.

Negotiated Terrains is the second book that features the work of the Louis I. Kahn Visiting Assistant Professors, a chairmanship endowed in 2004 to bring young innovators in architectural design to the Yale School of Architecture.

Layered Urbanisms presents critical discussions and illustrations of urban research and design analysis as carried out in advanced studios with young architects investigating ways to design new urban spaces for New York.

This first in a series of books from the Yale School of Architecture studies the collaborative process between architects and developers made possible by the Edward P. Bass Distinguished Visiting Architecture Fellowship.
