You`ll be amazed by what`s happened since ”10x 10_2”. Green architecture has gone from novelty to necessity, walls have gone from necessary to optional, hula hoops have become a building material. Local is the new international. Architecture is the new art. The 100 architects featured in this volume, the latest in our successful ”10x 10” series, are pushing the boundaries of design & redefining the very meaning of architecture: a building sliced in half in order to design the space in between; a one-ton floating object of seeming weightlessness; a high-end shop in downtown Seoul covered entirely in vegetation; &, a skyscraper that seems to disappear on sunny days. This is architecture as you`ve never seen it before. ”10x 10_3” is a comprehensive & global view of new architecture, presenting the work of 100 up-&-coming architects from around the world, selected by 10 of the best-informed critics, curators, & architects.

From Tristram Hunt, award-winning author of ` The Frock-Coated Communist` & leading UK politician, ` Ten Cities that Made an Empire` presents a new approach to Britain`s imperial past through the cities that epitomised it. Since the return of Hong Kong to China in 1997 & the end days of Empire, Britain`s colonial past has been the subject of passionate debate. Tristram Hunt goes beyond the now familiar arguments about Empire being good or bad & adopts a fresh approach to Britain`s empire & its legacy. Through an exceptional array of first-hand accounts & personal reflections, he portrays the great colonial & imperial cities of Boston, Bridgetown, Dublin, Cape Town, Calcutta, Hong Kong, Bombay, Melbourne, New Delhi, & twentieth-century Liverpool: their architecture, culture, & society balls; the famines, uprisings & repressions which coursed through them; the primitive accumulation & ghostly bureaucracy which ran them; the British supremacists & multicultural trailblazers who inhabited them. From the pioneers of early America to the builders of modern India, from west to east & back again, Hunt follows the processes of exchange & adaptation that collectively moulded the colonial experience & which in their turn transformed the culture, economy & identity of the British Isles. This vivid & richly detailed imperial story, located in ten of the most important cities which the Empire constructed, demolished, reconstructed & transformed, allows us a new understanding of the British Empire`s influence upon the world & the world`s influence upon it. ...
