For over two centuries, public space has been gradually adjusted to meet the needs of a rapidly growing traffic. Which role design plays is obvious: The first iron-made bridge was designed and built in England in 1779 and has now been declared a world heritage by UNESCO. Full of visionary projects, the 20th century marked a heroic time for Traffic Design. Already in 1913 Sant'Elia, an Italian architect, designed a combined "city station for planes, trains and cars". In 1925 Le Corbusier defined a development plan for Paris, which was named "Plan Voisin" after a car maker. The growing French metropolis was supposed to be remodeled to serve as an automobile-city. But also smaller projects attracted the attention of the old masters. A gas station designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1956 in Cloquet, Minnesota remains a tourist attraction to this day.

Creating an overall look while guaranteeing autonomy for each shop, integrating communal areas and handling parking and public facilities are just some of the challenges of designing shopping malls.Outstanding examples of how these challenges were met are included on these pages.Floor plans, technical specifications, materiaLs used and commentaries on each project are included, all provided by the designing architects themselves. Renzo Piano Building Workshop, Hermann & Valentiny et Associes, or Herzog & de Meuron are just some of the architectural talents who have contributed their work to this fine selection.

It is said that most hotel developers are interested not in the exterior of their hotels, but principally in the interior design. To that extent, the interior design is important, hence in this series 'interior' was selected as one of the main themes, especially in the first volume. In Interior & Amenity Design the readers will view the essence of contemporary premier hotels from all over the world including France, China, The USA, the UK and Thailand.

Emergence is an important new concept in artificial intelligence, information theory, digital technology, economics, climate studies, material science and biometric engineering. It is a development which is set to inform not only the construction of buildings, but also the composition of new materials. As a new science, coupled with material and technological innovations, it is set to enter architecture into a new phase of transition. This book presents an account of related developments in artificial intelligence and evolutionary computation, and shows how these developments are being incorporated into new architectures. This book marks the introduction of a new topic in design; Includes high quality CAD images; Accompanies a travelling exhibition, showing in Oslo and Copenhagen; Includes interviews with Frei Otto and a review of the Advanced Geometry Group at Ove Arup and Partners. 作者简介： Michael Hensel, Achim Menges and Michael Weinstock are co-

The role that religion has played in the development of artand architecture is unquestionable. The religious factor is as oldas humanity itself and throughout history constructions have beenerected with the aim of extolling the gods. Everyone has heard ofexamples such as the Egyptian or Aztec pyramids, the Christiancathedrals or mosques like the famous Blue Mosque. These are allexamples of sacred buildings which also represent an undeniableartistic and architectural value. The construction of religiousbuildings seems to have been forgotten by the masses and replacedby other more modern and popular architectural typologies, such aspublic or corporate architecture. These pages show recent projectsthat will bring us closer to contemporary religiousarchitecture.
