4dsocial: Interactive Design Environments
Guest-edited by Lucy Bullivant
A new breed of social interactive design is taking root that overturns the traditional approach to artistic
experience. Architects and designers are responding to cues from forward-thinking patrons of architec-
ture and design for real-time interactive projects, and are creating schemes at very different scales and
in many different guises. They range from the monumental – installations that dominate public squares
or are stretched over a building’s facade – to wearable computing. All, though, share in common the
ability to draw in users to become active participants and co-creators of content, so that the audience
becomes part of the project.
4dsocial: Interactive Design Environments investigates further the paradoxes that arise when a new form
of ‘socialisation’ is gained through this new responsive media at a time when social meanings are in
flux. While many works critique the narrow public uses of computing to control people and data, and
raise questions about public versus private space in urban contexts, how do they succeed in not just get-
ting enough people to participate, but in creating the right ingredients for effective design?

Rationalist Traces
Guest-edited by Andrew Peckham, Charles Rattray and Torsten Schmiedenecht
Modern European architecture has been characterised by a strong undercurrent of rationalist thought.
Rationalist Traces aims to examine this legacy by establishing a cross-section of contemporary European
architecture, placed in selected national contexts by critics including Akos Moravanszky and Josep Maria
Montaner. Subsequent interviews discuss the theoretical contributions of Giorgio Grassi and OM Ungers,
and a survey of Max Dudler and De Architekten Cie’s work sets out a consistency at once removed from
avant-garde spectacle or everyday expediency. Gesine Weinmiller’s work in Germany (among others) offers
a considered representation of state institutions, while elsewhere outstanding work reveals different
approaches to rationality in architecture often recalling canonical Modernism or the ‘Rational
Architecture’ of the later postwar period. Whether evident in patterns of thinking, a particular formal
repertoire, a prevailing consistency, or exemplified in individual buildings, this relationship informs the
mature work of Berger, Claus en Kaan, Ferrater, Zuchi or Kollhoff. The buildings and projects of a younger
generation – Garcia-Solera, GWJ, BIQ, Bassi or Servino – present a rationalism less conditioned by a con-
cern to promote a unifying aesthetic. While often sharing a deliberate economy of means, or a sensual
sobriety, they present a more oblique or distanced relationship with the defining work of the 20th century.

Made in India
Guest-edited by Kazi K Ashraf
The Indian subcontinent is undergoing an exuberant cultural and social shift. So far-reaching are the
changes underway that, alongside China, India is set to reorder the international status quo. Triggered
by new economic policies, global media and technology, accelerated consumerism and a transnational
dynamic, India is entering a decisive moment. Yet, as the political writer Sunil Khilnani notes, the
world’s sense of India, of what it stands for and what it wishes to become, seems as confused and divid-
ed today as is India’s own sense of itself. India’s strongest characteristic is its extraordinary diversity –
no other country in the world embraces so many ethnic groups and languages, nor simultaneously advo-
cates radical changes while also remaining entrenched in its ancient traditions and practices. This issue
of AD presents a sense of that ongoing dynamic through a new and emerging architecture. Essays by
Sunil Khilnani, Gautam Bhatia, Prem Chandavarkar, Anuradha Mathur and others chart the cultural,
urban and architectural landscape of the emerging India. The new architecture will be presented
through the works of Bijoy Jain, Rahul Mehrotra, Rajeev Kathpalia, Matharoo Associates, Samira Rathod,
Kapil Gupta/Chris Lee and Mathew-Ghosh, as well as Tod Williams and Bille Tsien, Kerry Hill, Michael
Sorkin and others.
