Summary:
Metals, as surface or structure as the generators of space play a role in nearly every strain of modernization in architecture. They define complete geographies of work, production, and political life. Non-architectural metals delivered in automobiles, and hard goods in the United States and worldwide have all been sourced as the engines of the sprawling late(...)

Summary:
Metals, as surface or structure as the generators of space play a role in nearly every strain of modernization in architecture. They define complete geographies of work, production, and political life. Non-architectural metals delivered in automobiles, and hard goods in the United States and worldwide have all been sourced as the engines of the sprawling late twentieth-century city in all of its forms. Post-Ductility refers to the literal aspects of material behavior in this case of metals but also of aspects of architectural and urban space that are measured by less verifiable but nonetheless real quotients of stress and strain. It is the tension and compression of space that gives form or coherence to form.

Summary:
As a building material, plastic allows for easily molded and formed shapes, leading to increasingly malleable design processes. Despite being the most deeply engineered building materials today, plastics are still in the nascent stages of understanding in terms of their potential applications and uses.

Summary:
In April 1998, sixteen architects--Studio Works in Los Angeles, Lindy Roy in New York, Carlos Jimenez in Houston and Stanley Saitowitz in San Francisco, among others--were invited to assemble teams to design a series of single-family houses for the Fifth Ward Community Redevelopment Corporation in Houston, Texas. The goal of the Fifth Ward CRC is to provide high-quality affordable housing, and the architects selected responded with designs innovation in both aesthetic and financial issues. "16 Houses" documents the house proposals in striking renderings and photographs, and also addresses the question of affordable housing locally and nationally. Thus the volume provides a new model of collaborative design between institutions that can respond with innovation and vigor to federal initiatives in housing policy.
