From his geodesic dome to books popularizing the terms "spaceship earth" and "synergetics," the life mission of R. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) was to create living environments that minimized consumption of the earth's resources while maximizing interconnections with global systems of information and transportation. This book explores Fuller's extraordinary body of work focusing on his wide-ranging and sometimes controversial role within the worlds of art, architecture, and utopian thought. The book chronicles Fuller's profound, often prophetic contributions, including his environmentally sensitive building designs.

The work shown at the U.S. Pavilion at the 2010 Venice Biennale is vital and proactive, suggesting solutions, describing the possibilities of new techniques or technologies, or re-framing the problems of the city, and, in the process, defining a new model of architectural practice. From John Portman's architectas-initiator model to cityLAB's research-based, innovative community-driven proposals, these works seek to define their own problems, audiences, and missions. The can-do spirit of each of these projects echo the collaborative, team-based methodologies of 306090 Books, co-presenters of the U.S. Pavilion with Atlanta's High Museum of Art.

Thousands urban utopias exist around the world, including intentional communities, eco-villages, permaculture plots, religious and secular retreats, co-housing projects, self-build schemes, projects for low-impact housing, and activist squats in urban and rural sites.
The book is structured in four parts. In part one, literary and theoretical utopias from the early modern period to the nineteenth-century are reconsidered. Part two investigates twentieth-century urban utopianism and contemporary alternative settlements focusing on social and environmental issues, activism and eco-village living. Part three looks to wider horizons in recent practices in the non-affluent world, and Part four reviews a range of cases from the author's visits to specific sites. This is followed by a short conclusion in which a discussion of key issues is resumed.

Het tijdperk van grootschalige stedenbouw is voorbij. Dit manifest is de kick-off voor een andere praktijk.

De auteurs van dit boek pleiten daarom voor lokale vindingrijkheid, flexibiliteit en openheid. De Spontane Stad is nooit af; in de Spontane Stad staat de gebruiker centraal; de Spontane Stad is het resultaat van vraag en aanbod. Met dit manifest wordt de discussie aangejaagd over de agenda van de stedenbouw in de eenentwinste eeuw.
usus / usures : État des lieux - How things stand / by Rotor (Tristan Boniver, Lionel Devlieger, Michael Ghyoot [...et al.]). - Bruxelles : Éditions Communauté françoise Wallonie, 2010. - 120 p. : ills. ; 24 cm. - Française / English
'How things stand' is the catalogue for the project 'usus / usures', at the Belgian pavillion of the 12th Architecture Biennial of Venice, 2010. This publication analyses 'wear' as a material phenomenon and as an agent capable of influencing actions. It is the result of an intensive investigation carried out in Belgium. Wear is approached not as a problem in itself, a testimony to an error of design to be avoided at all costs, but as an inevitable and potentially creative process. Looking at wear then leads to reflection on use, users and construction practices.
