    Book – The Map Reader

    Posted on Wednesday 31 August 2011 by Fabian Neuhaus

    Mapping and maps as the contextual representation and abstraction of an environment is a very diverse, complicated and very challenging disciplin. With the current ongoing trend of spatialisation the understanding and suitable interpretation , but also…

    Networks Networks

    Posted on Wednesday 3 August 2011 by Fabian Neuhaus

    The main buzz word of the 2011 discussion in urban and spatial research is networks. Networks start to appear everywhere and everything is linked in to most other things. This is however, in fact not new. The network discussion has started at least ten…

    Book – OneFiveFour: Light, Matter and Energy

    Posted on Tuesday 2 August 2011 by Fabian Neuhaus

    What is the material architecture is made of? Is it concret, glass and steel? Mortar, bricks and timber Stone, fabrics and plastic? All of them or none of them? So many different ways of putting this, but there must be something just beyond the physica…

    Book – Model Making: Physical Ideas

    Posted on Wednesday 29 June 2011 by Fabian Neuhaus

    With the possibilities of new computer technologies and the availability of rendering power physical models in architecture have lost the role as the main tool for spatial and physical shaping and testing of ideas. It is convenient with a few clicks t…

    Book – Improvisation and Urban Practice – ReplayCity

    Posted on Wednesday 15 June 2011 by Fabian Neuhaus

    Space in the city is subject to transformation on different time scales. It is being built and rebuilt constantly and not only by diggers and cranes, but also though the decisions and makings of individuals programming the space. Theories and practice …

    Tube Strike: A changed Macro-System

    Posted on Wednesday 10 November 2010 by Ateen Patel

    The recent tube strike and a discussion with one of my professors has led me to think about micro and macro systems as a whole, and in turn simulations working within these constraints.First of all, let me say a little about a normal working day and wh…
