Patterns of Architecture
Guest-edited by Mark Garcia
Pattern-making is ubiquitous in both the natural and manmade world. The human propensity for pattern
recognition and fabrication is innate. Encompassing the historical, vernacular and parametric, this title
explores the creation, materialisation and theorisation of some of the world's most significant and spec-
tacularly patterned spaces. It investigates how interiors, buildings, cities and landscapes are patterned
through design, production and manufacturing, use, time, accident and perception. It also brings into
focus how contemporary advanced spatial practices and CAD/CAM are now pushing patterns to encom-
pass a greater range of structural, programmatic, aesthetic and material effects and properties.
Extending patterns far beyond the surface notion of style and decoration, Patterns of Architecture
assesses how and why the deployment of patterns is shaping the future of architecture.
•Analysed through a multidiscipinary and international series of essays and designs from architects,
engineers, academics, researchers and expert professionals in the field.
•Key contributors include: Brian McGrath, Hanif Kara, Michael Hensel and Achim Menges, Patrik
Schumacher and Alejandro Zaera-Polo.
January/February 2010 Profile No 203
Turkey – At the Threshold
Guest-edited by Hülya Ertas, Defne Sunguro˘lu Hensel and Michael Hensel
This is a pertinent moment to take stock and to look at Turkey’s past, present and future. In 2010
Istanbul will become European Capital of Culture and all eyes will be on Turkey, bringing the nation’s cul-
tural renaissance and evolution to the fore internationally. Since the early 2000s, Turkey has undergone a
remarkable economic recovery, accompanied by urban development and a cultural flowering. Positioned
between an expanding European Union and an unstable Middle East, the country provides a fascinating
interface between the Occident and the Orient. Taking into account the current political concerns with a
potential clash of Eastern and Western cultures, Turkey is poised at a vital global crossroads.
•Tackles issues of globaisation and the potential threat that a rapid roing out of an overly homogenised
built environment poses to rich local building traditions that are founded on specific climatic knowledge
and cultural diversity.
•Provides an analytical and projective approach that highights specific aspects of Turkey’s rich heritage
and contemporary design culture that can shape a specific yet pluralistic future identity and culture.
•Contributors include: Tevfik Balcio˘lu, Edhem Eldem, Tolga Islam, Zeynep Kezer, U˘ur Tanyeli, Ilhan
Tekeli and Banu Tomruk.
March/April 2010 Profile No 204
Exuberance in Architecture
Guest-edited by Marjan Colletti
This title of ADheralds a new era of exuberance in digital design. Having overcome the alienation and
otherness of the cyber, having mastered the virtual qualities and protocols of the parametric, having
achieved the intricacy and elegance of the digital, and having fully embraced the potential of 3-D com-
puter software and CAD/CAM manufacturing technologies, it is now time for architects to show off!
Conjure up the extravagance of furniture design, the abundance of CGI in Hollywood, the profuseness
of bio-techno ornamentation or the lavishness of Middle-Eastern and Asian super-urbanism. Exuberance
not only celebrates new Baroque theatricality, formal sophistication and digital virtuosity; it also
debates a plethora of joyful and intelligent ways in which experimental architecture manages to cope
with the contemporary turmoil in global politics, economics and ecology.
•Includes the work of seminal figures such as Ron Arad, Peter Cook and Wolf D Prix
•Features Hernan Diaz Alonso, Marjan Coletti, Evan Dougis, CJ Lim, Ai Rahim, Nel Sple, Kjetl
Thorsen and Tom Wiscombe.
