Why, they asked, did so few understand the rules of the game? In a broad account accessible to generalist and specialist alike, they address the current national debate about the development of a National Information Infrastructure; they locate the debate in its historical context and outline a bold vision of an open communications infrastructure that will cut through the political gridlock that threatens this "information highway." Technical change is here, not decades away, and the authors argue that it is driving a new paradigm that fits neither the free market nor the regulatory control model currently in play. They detail what is wrong with the political process of National Information Infrastructure policymaking and assess how different media systems (telecommunications, radio, television broadcasting, and the like) were originally established. spelling out the technological assumptions and organizational interests on which they were based and showing why the old policy models are now breaking down. The new digital electronic networks are not analogous to railways and highways or their electronic forebears in telephony and broadcasting~they are inherently unfriendly to centralized control of any sort, so the old traditions of common carriage and public trustee regulation and regulatory gamesmanship no longer apply. The authors' technological and historical analysis leads logically to a policy proposal for a reformed regulatory structure that builds and protects meaningful competition but abandons its role as arbiter of tariffs and definer of the public interest. …

Trade Paperback. Etat : Used - Very Good. 'translated by Graham Thompson' edited by Sarah Whiting'Following traces that are neither modern nor postmodern, Ignasi de Sol-Morales opens a deterritorialized territory harboring rich possibilities for architectural theory and practice. Philosophically astute and critically savvy, 'Differences' resists the fashionable allure of nihilism by discerning creative resources circulating in the chaotic currents of contemporary culture.'-- Mark C. Taylor, Preston S. Parish Professor of Humanities, Williams College 'Ignasi de Sol-Morales' term 'starting points' perfectly captures the light and acute temperament of these essays. With the nimble ease of Deleuzean vectors, these writings start from contemporary practice and move into fresh horizons of architectural thinking. At a time when most architectural writing seems to fall within either the limits of journalism or the rigorous territories of academic research, this collection of texts draws an unfrequented path of discourse, a 'topography' that becomes an invitation to approach architectural ideas through pleasures of reading.'-- Xavier Costa, Head, Department of Architecture, Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, Spain 'Differences' brings together ten essays written over the past decade by the distinguished Spanish architect and theorist Ignasi de Sol-Morales. Many of the essays have never previously been translated, and the author has provided a new introduction especially for this English edition.

Trade Paperback. Etat : Used - Very Good. 'Architects, Process and Inspiration: A Collection of Essays' Founded in the early 1950s, 'Perspecta' is the oldest and most distinguished of the student-edited architectural journals that have flourished in this country for decades. The focus of 'Perspecta 28' is the 'architect's persona.' The essays concentrate on the role that personal vision plays in the process of perceiving, transforming, and building a world outside of oneself. The idea is that design process is a personal activity that grows out of an individuals education and experiences. 'Can you recognize the personal in a mans work?' asks Louis Kahn in the previously unpublished lecture that opens the issue. The following essays, in which contributors search for clues to Kahns 'personal,' take the form of discrete installations. The final form of each piece grew from its particular written and visual message, revealing the 'personal' in the authors work. Jean Nouvel's nihilistic lecture, Aldo Rossi's anachronistic cartoons, W. G. Clarke's quiet travelogue through the South's backwoods: each installation is an evocative interweaving of message and medium. The essays share a belief in the power of personal vision and human energy, which cannot be found by analytic means alone. Contributors include Gunter Behnisch, Deborah Berke, Denise Scott Brown, Thomas Burton, W. G. Clark, Margaret Helfand, Louis Kahn, John Keenen, Thomas Leeser, Jean Nouvel, John Patkau, Patricia Patkau, Terence Riley, Aldo Rossi, Adele Santos, and Robert Venturi. The focus of Perspecta 28 is the architect's persona.
