Chlorofilia - a new species of architecture

Chlorofilia

The History Channel recently held a competition inviting architectural teams to design a city of the future, to envision Los Angeles, New York and Chicago a hundred years from now.

The entry from Xefirotarch, invents and imagines an organic, biomimetic future for LA - literally a new species of architecture. You can view the video (created in collaboration with Imaginary Forces) on YouTube here.

Los Angeles in 2106 becomes Chlorofilia, a "self-sustaining, self-protecting natural ecology, used converted highways as aqueducts and dispersed nutrients into an adaptable organism that continuously adjusted itself to changes in demographics and housing requirements."

The Dialectic City
OM Ungers

The late Oswald Mathais Ungers is much missed, but this book from 1997, published by Skira, is a fascinating document of a truly original architectural thinker.

The book is divided into 2 parts. The first part of the book is the essay The Dialectic City, a meditation on the nature of the modern city that shows Ungers influence on Koolhaas and others.

The second half of the book, is a series of 8 competition projects created by Ungers and 1991-1995, under 2 themes: The City as Layer and Complementary Places, exploring and expanding concepts from the initial essay.
Augmented Landscapes
Smout Allen

The latest in Princeton Architectural Press' Pamphlet Architecture series, this booklet by British duo Mark Smout and Laura Allen is, like most of the PA series, a jewel of a book.
Through five projects, Smout Allen explore territories at the margins of cities, limnal areas, man-made landscapes such as the marshes of Essex, the dunes of north Norfolk, or the fens of Cambridgeshire.
There's a playful approach to landscape and architecture in the work of Smout Allen, perfectly fitting the Pamphlet Architecture format, but there are also serious issues, looking anew at interzones and hinterlands that have been neglected by mainstream architectural thought, and barely considered by a landscape profession that is still dominated by the picturesque.
Metropolitan World Atlas
Arjen Van Susteren (designed by Joost Grootens)

Now in it's second edition, this book from 010 Publishers in Rotterdam is great to dip in and out of. Beautifully designed by Joost Grootens, it sits at the intersection of cities, graphic design and typography, and offers an abstract graphical, visual and analytical comparison between the various cities and conurbations of the world.

While there are some inconsistencies, especially in English place names versus local place names, this is a great reference book on density, population and other urban indicators such as data, travel, expenditure etc. The maps demarcate a hard urban edge for each cities, and defining their urban form as abstract shapes.
Edge of a City
Stephen Holl

I've been carrying this book around with me for a while now, and it's been infecting my dreams. I've dreamt of flooding Potters Bar and Enfield Chase, creating a lake, a hard edge onto which a shimmering new London skyline could be built.

This book, number 13 in the Pamphlet Architecture series, explores a number of strategies for restraining growth and countering sprawl on a city edges. The theoretical projects proposed by Holl over megalithic structures defining hard edges between urban and rural. In Pheonix, for instance, Spatial Retaining Bars are series of housing blocks (looking like mini CCTV towers) which define the desert's edge.

Great stuff, and like the rest of the Pamphlet Architecture series, food for thought.
Urban Cartographies
Metis

This book by Metis (Mark Dorrian & Adrian Hawker) documents 4 theoretical projects undertaken by Metis exploring different urban conditions in 4 different cities, plus an installation at a gallery in Edinburgh. The proposals combine rigorous analysis with acts of supreme wilfulness, bringing that spark of imagination, the moment of inspiration, that adds a lyrical narrative edge to the creative process.

Perhaps the most intriguing proposal featured is set in Ottawa, Canada. Called Micro urbanism, the project for the edge of Parliament Hill, explores the notion that the city might be folded within the confines of the site, creating a dense multiplicty of functions and relations. Metis then take 18 sections from the grid of Ottawa as the basis for a set of narrative elements, which are then compressed into the site via a series of topological transformations. Great stuff.
KM3 - Excursions on Capacities
MVRDV

After FARMAX - Excursions on Densities, comes another blockbuster from Dutch architectural practice MVRDV: KM3 - Excursions on Capacities. It's another info-dense roller coaster into a world of improbably solutions to all-to-real problems. "KM3 is a city that is constantly under construction, with space for limitless populations and possibilities. Yet KM3 is a hypothesis, a theoretical city, and a possible urban theory."

This is the best kind of architectural science fiction.
Planet of Slums
Mike Davis

Mike Davis turns his sights away from Los Angeles and towards the phenomenon of global slums, and starts shooting away with his trademark machine gun prose style, a rat-a-tat-tat staccato of globalized urban poverty, misery, and exploitation, backed up with plenty of reading and research, but no first hand experience.

Davis' doomsaying Marxist critique of Structural Adjustment Programs, government housing reforms and micro-economic self-help is relentless, but ultimately nihilistic - nothing works, the population of an urban poor underclass is growing, and things are getting worse.

There are no solutions offered in the book, not even glimpses into possibilities, small scale case studies or broad brush strokes to start a debate. It's powerful stuff, but it must be hard being Mike Davis.
supersurfaces
Sophia Vyzoviti
The follow-up to Folding Architecture, these exploration by Vyzoviti and her students, an intuitive, hands-on process of paper-folding is used as the starting point for architectonic investigations, a perfect antidote to much computer modelling and form-making.
