Ai Weiwei, born in the Socialist People's Republic of China, is one of the most important artists of the present global art scene. For his provocative political opinion he had been taken under house detention - he plant a celebration for the official governmental demolition of his Studio. His creations are based on the idea to provoke discussions about their content. For example, he spread about 150 tons of porcelain sunflower seeds on the floor of the Tate Modern in London to remind especially young Chinese people of propagandistic pictures which show Mao Tse-tung in the middle of sunshine and sunflower seeds. The daab-book embraces some of the astonishing works of the exceptional artist.

European emigrés have been changing the face of modern American architecture for decades. Winka Dubbeldam surely belongs to that long list of distinguished practitioners. Working across scales-from a New York skyscraper to a rural house-the Dutch-born architect has established herself as one of the most provocative figures in the field by seamlessly integrating function and form, technology and comfort, city and home. Folded glass facades, intelligent building cores, and interactive environments highlight the work of her progressive, process-based studio/laboratory, Archi-Tectonics. As much resource as monograph, Archi-Tectonics index explores Dubbeldam's intense, research-laden approach to over twenty projects, including the highly acclaimed From HardWare to SoftForm exhibition, Aida Hair Salon, and Gipsy Trail Residence.
