Neville is currently in a lecture tour around the world, promoting his new book " THE CHINESE DREAM - a society under construction ", wich i strongly recommande. Its an amazing prospective book about chinese urbanity, questionning paradoxes of China's struggle for change.

Those young architects, based in Beijing, are also developing a very good collaborative research wiki Burb Tv.
Among the dozens of projects showed on this plateforme, Neville Mars and his team have been produced some amazing theorical works. The Beijing Boom Tower seems to me as a manifesto. Not to mention the quality of the production, especialy with this amazing oversized interactive model :

SANAA : Works 1998-2008 at The New Museum

Now on view at The New Museum , in New York city until June 15 2008, a beautiful and very refreshing exhibition about the work of the japanese architecture studio SANAA. An interesting detail is that the radical and minimalistic New Museumhas been designed by SANAA. Located on Bowery  , this building shows that there are possible alternative to condos in high density urban context, in terms of contemporary architectural design.

The exhibition shows a lots of models, full of details and creativity. It's about lights, flowers, simple geometries and complex programs. At the opposite of 3D rendering exhibitions that we are used to see nowdays.
