Hybrids III: Residential Mixed Use Buildings a+t
New in from A+T!
This exciting double issue introduces a new line of investigation, presenting a collection of 20 new projects that are also accompanied by a compilation of classic hybrid buildings. These structures encourage the interaction of a variety of urban uses while also successfully combining private residential activities within the public realm. In particular, this hybridisation goes beyond mix-use programmes, as it reflects the combination of public and private interests in housing, public space and civic facilities. In so doing, it also provides a suitable response to concerns about land scarcity, high-costs, sustainable development and urban revitalisation.

2G Cecilia Puga 2G 53
This number of 2G brings together seventeen buildings and projects by the Chilean architect, including the exemplary House in Bahía Azul, in which the classic icon of the section of a house -the outline any child might draw- is manipulated, pivoted and transformed to produce a sense of strangeness in relation to its environment. Situated at the edge of a bare cliff on the Chilean coast, the icon is toned down and the house seems like a strange ruin in the landscape, almost.

Bauhaus Conflicts, 1919-2009: Controversies and Counterparts Etzold, J
The Bauhaus, one of the icons of modernism, was controversial from the start—not only because of internal strife, but also due to critique or enmities from the outside. And the controversy did not end with the closure of the Bauhaus itself. Yet nothing else revealed Bauhaus ideas and ideology as well as these confrontations did. Through them, the basic issues of the modernist program became clear. It became obvious that there was no such thing as one kind of modernism, just as there was no ONE Bauhaus; instead, there were different, contradictory, and even oppositional movements and positions: the Bauhauses.

The multiple Chinese migrations from south-eastern China to Southeast Asia has had important implications for both regions. In Southeast Asia this influence can be seen in the architecturally eclectic homes these migrants and their descendants built as they became successful; homes that combined Chinese, European and local influences, especially during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Gardens of Experience Adam Caruso
According to the author and architect Adam Caruso, the concept of quality cannot be defined in the absence of values. According to Caruso, the decline of social values became visible in the arts during the 19 th century under such artists as Ruskin and Turner. Within their practices, these artists attempted to compensate for their loss of certainty. Here, the author demonstrates to the reader that this principle is applicable to contemporary architecture in order that the discipline can retain its relevance as an important cultural area.
