London

"Through the eyes of Diploma Unit 10, the London +10 exhibition concentrates on London over the last 20 years and speculates on the relationship between the live realm of the city and its urban fabric. The exhibition includes 40 speculative projects that tackle topics such as politics, crime, sex and terrorism, overlays them on the reality of London and highlights ten key portfolios from 1989 to 2009."

Authoring processes...

"Joshua Prince-Ramus believes that if architects re-engineer their design process, the results can be spectacular. Speaking at TEDxSMU, Dallas, he walks us through his fantastic re-creation of the local Wyly Theater as a giant "theatrical machine" that reconfigures itself at the touch of a button."
