Stud is an interdisciplinary exploration of the active role?architecture plays in the construction of male identity. Architects,?artists, and theorists investigate how sexuality is constituted through?the organization of materials, objects, and human subjects in actual?space. This collection of essays and visual projects critically analyzes?the spaces that we habitually take for granted but that quietly?participates in the manufacturing of "maleness." Employing a variety of?critical perspectives (feminism, "queer theory," deconstruction, and?psychoanalysis), Stud's contributors reveal how masculinity, always?an unstable construct, is coded in our environment. Stud also?addresses the relationship between architecture and gay male sexuality,?illustrating the resourceful ways that gay men have appropriated and?reordered everyday public domains,from streets to sex clubs, in the?formation of gay social space.??Essays include Steven Cohan on the bachelor pad, Ellen Lupton on the?electric carving knife, Diana Fuss and Joel Sanders on the psychoanalytic?office, Lee Edelman on the urinal, Marcia Ian on the gym, D.A. Miller on?the piano bar, and George Chauncey on the street. Visual projects include?work by architects Rem Koolhaas, Mark Robbins, Violich and Kennedy, and?Interim Office of Architecture, and artists Matthew Barney, Renee Green,?Vito Acconci, and Flex-Torreros.

Architect Joel Sanders is committed to exploring the role of architecture in the formation of social life in his projects, both built and experimental, and his writings, both scholarly and popular. Joel Sanders: Writings and Projects draws on the different facets of his career in a monograph that combines his architectural work with a number of recent essays. Notable projects include House for a Bachelor, which features an Astroturf subterranean backyard spa; the Five Minute Bathroom (designed for Wallpaper magazine), which carries its occupant through his or her morning preparation assembly-line-fashion; and the 24/7 Business Hotel (designed for the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum), a multipurpose environment that caters to twenty-four hours in the life of a business traveler. Sanders has also designed numerous apartments and lofts, which have been widely published in the American and international architectural press.

The current environmental crisis calls for a unified practice of landscape and architecture that would allow buildings and landscapes to perform symbiotically to heal the environment. Over the past ten years, a diverse group of architects, landscape architects, and artists have undertaken groundbreaking projects that propose an integration of landscape and architecture, dissolving traditional distinctions between building and environment. Groundwork: Between Landscape and Architecture examines twenty-five projects, on an international scale, that consider landscape and architecture as true reciprocal entities. Groundwork divides the projects into three design directions: Topography, Ecology, and Biocomputation. Topographic designers create projects that manipulate the ground to merge building and landscape as in Cairo Expo City in Egypt (Zaha Hadid Architects), Island City Central Park Grin Grin in Fukuoka, Japan (Toyo Ito &amp; Associates) and the City of Culture of Galicia in Santiago de Compostela, Spain (Eisenman Architects). Ecologic designers develop environments that address issues such as energy climate and remediation, such as I’m Lost In Paris in France (R&amp;Sie(n)), Turistroute in Eggum, Norway (Snøhetta) and Parque Atlántico in Santander, Cantabria, Spain (Batlle i Roig Arquitectes). Biocomputation designers use digital technologies to align biology and design in projects such as the Grotto Concept (Aranda/Lasch), North Side Copse House in West Sussex, England (EcoLogicStudio) and Local Code: Real Estates (Nicolas de Monchaux.) What these projects all have in common is a desire to pay attention and homage to the liminal space where indoors and outdoors meet. The critical connection between natural and synthetic, exterior and interior space, paves the way toward a more inclusive—and indeed more alive—conceptualization of the physical world.
