New Estonian Architecture

BOOM/ROOM presents outstanding examples of contemporary architecture from Estonia which interact in a special way with the urban context. The exhibition as well as the catalogue deal with the building boom in the Baltic Republic since the mid 1990’s. However, in consequence of the fast-paced building activities in many places fragmented urban spaces emerged. For this reason the architects’ responsibility to create new buildings with a high spatial, cultural and social quality is all the more important. BOOM/ROOM therefore shows successful Estonian architecture which interacts with the user and the surroundings by creating new types of urban movement, communication and living.

Edited by Pille Epner and the Union of Estonian Architects.

Urban Transformation in the Mexican Megalopolis

Mexico City is one of the biggest urban conurbations in the world. This book invites readers on an astonishing journey through the everyday life of the city. Today, its citizens are called upon to demonstrate both spontaneity and creativity in order to deal with the city’s innumerable problems in times of growth and globalisation. But architects and town planners must also react to the challenge of the concentrated city with innovative and unusual strategies. This publication shows many urban phenomena that are not characteristic of Mexico City alone, but also provide ideas for discussion on the future of megacities all over the world. In this context, therefore, Citambulos collects the viewpoints of artists, urban planners and architects, creating an exciting overall picture of the megapolis Mexico City.

Berlin and Moscow.
Cultural Identity through Architecture

Architecture and urban planning reflect cultural identity and political upheaval. How will a new political system affect the urban space? How do they face architectural problems in Berlin and Moscow? Is there any interaction between East and West in the field of architecture? The Russian-German project archXchange addresses these questions on a practical and theoretical level.
The book shows the ambitious projects, results of a workshop held in Moscow, by the young architectural groups Ania Easty, blauraum, magma architecture, team05, Team Russia and trans-struktura-express. Comments of the renowned architects, city theorists and critics Eugene Asse, Bart Goldhoorn, Liudmila and Vlad Kirpichev, Irina Korobina, James McAdam, Lisa Schmitz, Werner Sewing, Jan Störmer and Sergei Tchoban broaden the spectrum of positions. archXchange offers a panorama of different perceptions of urban development in the East and West.
