TMR Issue 36 – 17 articles – 199 pages

From urban explosions and masterplanning to megaprojects and nation-branding, this issue explores architecture, design and urbanism, with an emphasis on the countries represented on the SWANA map. Whether reinventing national traditions in order to brand regional and national identities, or attempting to build the biggest, tallest, most striking structure or shopping mall, the essays here ask why do cities look the way they do? How energy efficient and structurally safe are they? What are the trends and the exceptions, and how do cities and regions come back after disasters such as the recent earthquakes in Turkey and Morocco, or the cataclysmic flooding in Libya?
