Energies: New Material Boundaries

Guest-edited by Sean Lally

At present, material energies – that is, thermal variation, air velocity, spectrums of light and electricity –

remain a largely untapped source of innovation and inspiration for architects. Commonly relegated to

the production of ambience – ‘moods’ or ‘effects’ – energies tend to be explored, in a design context, as

preconceived, rule-of-thumb interior comfort zones or as a set of measurables for determining ‘energy-

efficient’ buildings. Energieslooks at ways of elevating these materials from their dependence on sur-

faces and services, and in so doing, deploying them as building materials in themselves, thus redefining

our physical boundaries through a wholly new means of spatial organisation.

•The pubication propels ‘material energies’ forward as the catalyst for design innovation focused on

creating new physical boundaries and thresholds.

•The issue cuts across and engages multiple discipines and scales including architecture, landscape

architecture and urban design.

•Contributors include Michele Addington, AMID (Cero 9), Petra Blaisse, Penelope Dean, David Gissen,

Pierre Huyghe, An Te Liu, Mathieu Lehanneur, Zbigniew Oksiuta, Philippe Rahm and WEATHERS.

July/August 2009 Profile No 200

Digital Cities

Guest-edited by Neil Leach

What is the impact of digital technologies on the design and analysis of cities? For the last 15 years,

the profound impact of computer-aided techniques on architecture has been well charted. From the

use of standard drafting packages to the more experimental use of generative design tools and para-

metric modelling, digital technologies have come to play a major role in architectural production. But

how are they helping architects and designers to operate at the urban scale? And how might they be

changing the way in which we perceive and understand our cities?

•Features some of the world’s leading experimental practices, such as Zaha Hadid Architects,

R&Sie(n), Biothing and Xefirotarch.

•Takes in exciting emerging practices, such as moh architects, LAVA, kokkugia and THEVERYMANY,

and work by students at some of the most progressive schools, such as the AA, RMIT and SCI-Arc.

•Contributors include: Michael Batty, Benjamin Bratton, Alain Chiaradia, Manuel DeLanda, Vicente

Guallart and Peter Trummer.

September/October 2009 Profile No 201

Architectures of the Near Future

Guest-edited by Nic Clear

In this highly pertinent issue, guest-editor Nic Clear questions received notions of the future. Are the

accepted norms of economic growth and expansion the only means by which society can develop and

prosper? Should the current economic crisis be making us call into question a future of unlimited

growth? Can this moment of crisis – economic, environmental and technological – enable us to make

more informed choices about the type of future that we want and can actually achieve? Architectures of

the Near Futureoffers a series of alternative voices, developing some of the neglected areas of contem-

porary urban life and original visions of what might be to come. Rather than providing simplistic and

seductive images of an intangible shiny future, it rocks the cosy world of architecture with polemical

blasts.

•Draws on topics as diverse as synthetic space, psychoanalysis, Postmodern geography, post-econom-

ics, cybernetics and developments in neurology.

•Includes an exploration of the work of JG Balard.

•Features the work of Ben Nicholson.
