Architectures of the Near Future
Guest-edited by Nic Clear
In this highly pertinent issue, guest-editor Nic Clear questions received notions of the future. Are the
accepted norms of economic growth and expansion the only means by which society can develop and
prosper? Should the current economic crisis be making us call into question a future of unlimited
growth? Can this moment of crisis – economic, environmental and technological – enable us to make
more informed choices about the type of future that we want and can actually achieve? Architectures of
the Near Futureoffers a series of alternative voices, developing some of the neglected areas of contem-
porary urban life and original visions of what might be to come. Rather than providing simplistic and
seductive images of an intangible shiny future, it rocks the cosy world of architecture with polemical
blasts.
•Draws on topics as diverse as synthetic space, psychoanalysis, Postmodern geography, post-econom-
ics, cybernetics and developments in neurology.
•Includes an exploration of the work of JG Balard.
•Features the work of Ben Nicholson.
November/December 2009 Profile No 202
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.
