Homelessness-the state of having no home-is a growing global problem that requires local discussions and solutions. In the face of the coronavirus pandemic, it has noticeably become a collective concern. However, in recent years, the official political discourse in many countries around the world implies that poverty is a personal fault, and that if people experience homelessness, it is because they have not tried hard enough to secure shelter and livelihood. Although architecture alone cannot solve the problem of homelessness, the question arises: What and which roles can it play? Or, to be more precise, how can architecture collaborate with other disciplines in developing ways to permanently house those who do not have a home?Who's Next? Homelessness, Architecture, and Cities seeks to explore and understand a reality that involves the expertise of national, regional, and city agencies, nongovernmental organizations, health-care fields, and academic disciplines. Through scholarly essays, interviews, analyses of architectural case studies, and research on the historical and current situation in Los Angeles, Moscow, Mumbai, New York, São Paulo, San Francisco, Shanghai, and Tokyo, this book unfolds different entry points toward understanding homelessness and some of the many related problems. The book is a polyphonic attempt to break down this topic into as many parts as needed, so that the specificities and complexities of one of the most urgent crises of our time rise to the fore.

Der Computer ist heute aus dem Alltag im Architekturbüro nicht mehr wegzudenken. Bits und Bytes haben längst wichtige Aufgaben im Entwurf und in der Präsentation von Architektur übernommen. Das Buch, das im Rahmen einer gleichnamigen Ausstellung im Architekturmuseum der TUM in der Pinakothek der Moderne in München erschienen ist, wirft erstmalig einen umfassenden Blick auf die Entwicklung des Digitalen in der Architektur. Von den Anfängen in den 1950er-Jahren bis heute erzählt es diese spannende Geschichte in vier Kapiteln und präsentiert den Computer als Zeichenmaschine, als Entwurfswerkzeug, als Medium des Geschichtenerzählens und als interaktive Kommunikationsplattform. Die grundlegende Frage dahinter ist einfach: Hat der Computer die Architektur verändert? Und wenn ja, wie sehr?
