4 Architectural Design Forthcoming Titles
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, Evan Dougis, CJ Lim, Ai Rahim, Nel Sple, Kjetl Thorsen
and Tom Wiscombe.
May/June 2010 Profile No 205
Territory: Architecture Beyond Environment
Guest-edited by David Gissen
Advancing a new relationship between architecture and nature, Territory emphasises the simultaneous
production of architectural objects and the environment surrounding them. Conceptualised within a
framework that draws from physical and human geographical thought, this title of ADexamines the pos-
sibility of an architecture that actively produces its external, ecological conditions. The architecture here
scans and modifies atmospheres, arboreal zones, geothermal exchange, magnetic fields, habitats and
toxicities – enabling new and intense geographical patterns, effects, and sensations within architectural
and urban experience. Territory charts out a space, a territory, for architecture beyond conceptualisa-
tions of context or environment, understood as that stable setting which pre-exists the production of
new things. Ultimately, it suggests a role for architecture as a strategy of environmental tinkering versus
one of accommodation or balance with an external natural world.
•Features architects: Patrick Blanc, Gles Ebersolt, Nicholas de Monchaux, Future Cities Lab, Fritz
Haeg, Omar Khan, The Living, R&Sie(n), SeARCH and WEATHERS.
•Cross-discipinary contributions come from geographers, historians and theorists Ila Berman, Javier
Arbona, Ben Campkin, Edward Eigen, Matthew Gandy, Antoine Picon and Mitchell Schwarzer.

November/December 2009
of Architecture
Guest-edited by Mark Garcia
IN THIS ISSUE
Main Section
OFFICE POLITICS
Alejandro Zaera-Polo of Foreign Office Architects explores
the political and cultural opportunities of sophisticated
patterning techniques on the building envelope, which
usurp traditional and contemporary iconography in their
ability to bridge the local and the global. P 18
PATTERNING PARAMETRICALLY
Patrik Schumacher of Zaha Hadid Architects advocates
the application of surface pattern design in parametric
architecture as a significant means of architectural
articulation, providing the exterior surface with various
levels of differentiation and correlation. P 28
THE PATTERN ENGINEER
In an exclusive interview with Mark Garcia,
Hanif Kara of Adams Kara Taylor extols the many
applications of patterns in structural engineering,
from the micro to the meta. P 66

SYLVAN STUDIES
Jayne Merkel describes how Hopkins Architects have
provided Yale University’s pioneering School of Forestry
and Environmental Studies with a living laboratory of
energy-efficient design. P 118+
