Summary:
As Aaron Betsky notes in his introductory essay, that while Guallart is an active member of what has been called emergent architecture, his practice goes further, generating a body of work that emerges from both physical and social – both real and digital – structures. While the architect himself suggests that the end purpose of architecture is not (solely) to build, but(...)

While the architect himself suggests that the end purpose of architecture is not (solely) to build, but also to define environments where human life can be organised. To support these observations, such projects as Denia Mountain, the Spanish Pavilion for Shanghai Expo 2010, the Keelung Maritime Plaza and Fugee Port in Taiwan, the Cambrils Sea Apartments and the Sociopolis Masterplan, Valencia are examined. Seventeen works and projects are presented in total, accompanied by essays, texts, photographs and elaborate technical drawings. Texts in English/Chinese

In 1867 Ildefons Cerdà published his "Teoria general de la urbanitzación." In this text, the "science of building cities," understood as a phenomenon, became a new discipline with a broad economic, social and cultural impact on the life of the people of the city. Coinciding with 150 years since its publication, its first translation into English is being presented along with the publishing online at urbanization.org with the statistics transformed into interactive graphics and open data, with the aim of expanding the knowledge of Cerda`'s work and encouraging debate on the process of "urbanization" in the future.

Presenting the last 15 years of his work, this book investigates architecture’s ability to construct systems for inhabitable environments in diverse environmental, social, and economic conditions. He crosses boundaries through collaborations in geology, sociology, engineering, economics, software and interface design. The projects follow a "natural" logic, referring to components originating in nature, as well as to environmental systems.

Material intelligence, simulations, sensors, actuators, as well as the bio-mimetic and digital manufacturing innovations provide revolutionary ideas on growth, adaptability, repair, sensitivity, replication and energy savings in architecture. Should we continue constructing rigid and fixed structures? Or can our habitats begin to think?

Summary:
This comprehensive catalogue accompanies the exhibition 'Sociópolis: Project for a City of the Future' at the Architekturzentrum Wien. Sociópolis was created to develop "a living place with a sense of solidarity" to explore how to promote better social interaction between residents in the city of Valencia and to propose new ways of living that are typical for the social, technological and ecological conditions of our time. In the words of Dietmar Steiner, ”for the first time in the new millennium the Sociópolis project is designing a truly integrative and hybrid vision of the European town for the future. Sociópolis is setting new standards by realising a dream of social balance where all people potentially have the same opportunities – a dream of lifting all the borders between town and country by farming within the town limits. Sociópolis does this employing all-new technology and has engaged some of the most talented and interesting architects in the world to provide their contribution.” The publication presents comprehensive coverage of the projects submitted by the invited teams with a focus on architecture/social interaction/nature and new technology.
