On Taipei - art and urban - in Domus
"A beautiful, endless green landscape is not as innocent as it looks. While the city of Taipei expands, its relationship to the rural environment constitutes a vital knot in understanding neoliberal urban restructuring. As a friend describes it, the surveillance and social sphere of Taiwan form a "condition of naked life".
Mary Otis Stevens - Interviewed and edited by Ute Meta Bauer&Pelin Tan in last two years. The published interview in Domus (March, 2013) is just the %30 of the whole piece that planned to come out as a book in the near future.
"One of few women architects in America during the ’60s and ’70s, a student of Gropius and a friend of Fuller and De Carlo, Mary Otis Stevens tells Domus about the stages in her extraordinary life: the revolutionary Lincoln House, the years at MIT, and her more recent civil and cultural endeavours.
Intimacy and the Architect - book review of Alison&Peter Smithson in Domus
"When studying an architect, we are rarely satisfied merely with the object or production of their thoughts; neither can we rely only on broad analyses of socio-economic and constructional transformations. To see how an individual architect really develops his or her own notion of design, we long to see their notes, writings, sketches and drawings, to read of their interactions with other architects, and to see how they spatialise their own reality. The desire for this intimate view can be seen in different manifestations in two books about Alison and Peter Smithson and Giancarlo De Carlo, who stand among the architectural figureheads of the 20th century".
