Summary:
***ÉPUISÉE / OUT OF PRINT*** "Cities in transition" deals with the effects of globalization and internationalization in relation to urbanism and critical assessment in contemporary theory. The book brings together internationally known authors from many countries including England, the USA, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan and the Netherlands. A diversity of critical positions on spatial and social questions is discussed on an international level. The theme of globalization is queried concerning the relation of urban and port developments in Tokyo's Bay Area and in Rotterdam. Cities have historically allowed the coming about of national economies, politics and societies we can think of as centralized. In several contributions this aspect is examined from the viewpoint of the flâneur, a creature of the metropolis, Parisian above all. As for their present day economic function, cities provide agglomeration economies, with a massive concentration of information on the latest developments. The book argues for a new reflexivity related to both economic and cultural understanding of our world. Cities in Transition is the third volume in the "Stylos critical landscape" series, issued by the Faculty of architecture of Delft university of technology.

Summary:
Crossover is the very first publication by the Delft School of Design (DSD), a laboratory for research and experimentation in architecture, urbanism and technologies of construction at the TU Delft. Its investigations cover a wide variety of subjects, from theoretical considerations and historical studies to urban and architectural practices and contemporary structural design. What they all have in common is the emerging condition of architectural and urban knowledge in both the academic context and professional practice. Since its inception in 2003, the DSD has developed a strategy or field of inquiry for mapping new means of approaching the complexity of the contemporary urban and architectural conditions. Traditional approaches are seen to be increasingly inadequate in the face of this complexity. This is in part due to the nature of the information age. Yet, on the other hand, new technologies offer us the challenge and the potential to represent our world in unprecedenteded ways.

This year, design research has been the main focus of activity. In addition, extensive attention has been devoted to new developments in the field of building technology, computer use, and management. The current discourse on planning issues, the network society, problems of integration, increasing individualisation, and the rise of ICT does much to define the research themes treated within its pages.

Summary:
Versailles and the Mechanics of Power explores the significance of the palace and gardens of Versailles. Graafland's exercise consists of superimposing the choreography for the 'Balet Comique de la Royne' of Balthasar de Beaujoyeulx upon the somewhat later gardens of Le Nôtre and the French Sun King. Avoiding a merely visual logic the author analyses the geometric character of the human body in that ballet and compares layout and ballet as a mechanics of power in an early symbolic state. Drawing on the many books and essays on Versailles, the author has added the ballet structure, a framework that tells us about the sometimes hidden but mostly very explicit desires of this period. These in turn tell us not only about the gardens and ballet but even more about French society at that time. Completing the book is a set of analytical drawings which give us both the layout of Versailles and the choreography of the 'Balet', explaining the mechanics of bodily discipline in the 17th century.

Summary:
Half of the world’s population currently lives in cities, and within two decades, this figure will increase to 60 per cent. For many, cities offer the opportunity for work and income, education and better living conditions. Cities are also the sites of extraordinary inequality, hosting extremes of wealth and poverty side by side. "Cities in Transition" takes stock of these developments and our global urban future, investigating recent political and economic developments in North America, South America, Europe, South Africa and China. This volume features contributions from 30 experts in the field, including Saskia Sassen, Fulong Wu, M. Christine Boyer, Vittorio Lampugnani, Eric Swyngedouw, Marc Angélil, Joan Busquets, David Grahame Shane, George Baird and many others. "Cities in Transition" concludes with recent urban developments in China, an accelerated test case offering intriguing insights into the future of global urbanization.
