Summary:
This volume presents the projects of Rural Urban Framework, the non-profit collective of architects based at the University of Hong Kong and led by Joshua Bolchover and John Lin, whose work starts from a careful analysis of the recent urbanization triggered by villages and rural collectives in China to found a procedural and participatory work where architecture can never be considered a finished product (as we are often used to in the West) but a relational element open to the context in which it operates.

Summary:
Dan Graham (1942), one of the major neo avant-garde figures since the Second World War, is internationally recognized for his work in public spaces. Graham was invited to Como to take part in the centenary celebration of the birth of Giuseppe Terragni. For the occasion, he installed a pavilion entitled "Half square/half crazy" on the square in front of the Casa del Fascio. For Graham, the pavilion is a tool to critically fathom modern architecture. It is an instrument for studying the rapport between the interior (private) and exterior (public) environment as well as a way to examine the relationship of the individual to the urban scheme. His architectural structure moves from contemplative object to meeting point: a place of exchange and reflection. This volume presents an exhaustive documentation of the Como pavilion together with a selection of recent works by Dan Graham and two interviews with the artist. The dvd included records the course of the Como pavilion from its construction to inauguration.
