Full text of ' AD ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN FORTHCOMING ID TITLES JULY/AUGUST 2010 PROFILE NO 206 THE NEW STRUCTURALISM: DESIGN, ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURAL TECHNOLOGIES GUEST-EDITED BY RIVKA OXMAN AND ROBERT OXMAN Today the convergence of design, engineering and architectural technologies are breeding a new material practice in experimental architecture. The significant emphasis on the structuring logic of tectonics is resulting in a new structuralism' in design. In this pioneering publication, this important shift is fully defined as a highly dynamic synthesis of emerging principles of spatial, structural and material ordering integrated through the application of materialisation and fabrication technologies. Providing the foundations for a new theory of structuring in architecture, The New Structuralism has broad implications for the way we both conceive and undertake architectural design, as its impact starts to emanate not only across education internationally, but also through architectural research and practice.

Features exemplary work by research and experimental design-oriented structural engineering practices: Bollinger + Grohmann, Buro Happold, Hanif Kara (akt) and Werner Sobek. Theoretical contributions from: David Chilton, Holzer and Downing, Neri Oxman, Helmut Pottmann, Nina Rappaport and Yves Weinand. Focuses on new design and fabrication technologies in the recent work of Barkow and Leibinger, embt (Enric Miralles and BenedettaTagliabue), Gramazio and Kohler, and Fabian Scheurer Volume 80 No 4 (Designtoproduction).

Cities experiencing trauma dominate the daily news. Images of blasted buildings, or events such as Cyclone Katrina exemplify the sense of 'immediate impact'. But how is this trauma to be understood in its aftermath, and in urban terms?

What is the response of the discipline to the post-traumatic condition? On the one hand, one can try to restore and recover everything that has passed, or otherwise see the post- traumatic city as a resilient space poised on the cusp of new potentialities. While repair and reconstruction are automatic reflexes, the knowledge and practices of the disciplines need to be imbued with a deeper understanding of the effect of trauma on cities and their contingent realities.

This issue will pursue this latter approach, using examples of post-traumatic urban conditions to rethink the agency of architecture and urbanism in the contemporary world. Post-traumatic urbanism demands of architects the mobilisation of skills, criticality and creativity in contexts with which they are not familiar. The post- traumatic is no longer the exception; it is the global condition.

Featured cities: Beirut, Shenzhen, Berlin, Baghdad, Kabul and Caracas.

As a symptom of a new sociopolitical reality inundated with environmental catastrophes, sudden climatic changes, garbage-packed metropolises and para-economies of non-recyclable e-waste, environmental consciousness and the image of the earth re-emerges, after the 1960s, as an inevitable cultural armature for architects; now faced with the urgency to heal an ill-managed planet that is headed towards evolutionary bankruptcy.

At present though, in a world that has suffered severe loss of resources, the new wave of ecological architecture is not solely directed to the ethics of the world's salvation, yet rather upraises as a psycho-spatial or mental position, fuelling a reality of change, motion and action. Coined as 'EcoRedux', this position differs from Utopia in that it does not explicitly seek to be right; it recognises pollution and waste as generative potentials for design. In this sense, projects that may appear at first sight as science-fictional are not part of a foreign sphere, unassociated with the real, but an extrusion of our own realms and operations. Contributors include: Matthias Hollwich and Marc Kushner (hwkn), David Turnbull and Jane Harrison (atopia), Anthony Vidler and Mark Wigley. Featured architects: Anna Pla Catala, Eva Franch-Gilabert.
