Hunch 9
Disciplines
In this volume of the series on architecture, urbanism and contemporary culture, writings look at how to organize projects, lectures, interviews and essays into “disciplines” that touch on such issues as the current erosion of architecture’s disciplinary distinctions; perspectives from other disciplines like money, music or film; connections between theory and practices; and disciplinary transfers to and from architectural practice. Deep thinking about architectural theory, edited by Penelope Dean.

Mediators
Hunch 10 presents Mediators, an edition that addresses the workings of ‘mediation’ on and through the disciplines of architecture and urbanism. Bringing together significant figures - directors, advisors, critics, curators, decision-makers, editors, and academics - operating between the various realms of public, architecture, urbanism, culture and business through influence and facilitation, hunch 10 exposes mediation by way of authorship, historiography, anecdotes, statistics, profiles, and photography. The material in this issue consists largely of lecture transcriptions and interviews accumulated during Spring 2004/2005 at The Berlage Institute, along with some newly commissioned material.

Double Dutch
What would happen if the Dutch population doubled? This issue of the series explores the implications, organizing essays around six themes: Suburb examines neighborhood life; Urbanism catalogues approaches to the city; Scenario presents strategies for regional development; Lifestyle reveals how consumerism affects design; Between documents the uses of interstitial landscapes; and Elsewhere examines the import/export calue of arguments. A look at an interesting premise from many angles.

109 Provisional Attempts to Address Six Simple and Hard Questions about What Architects do Today and Where Their Profesion might go Tomorrow
“What will the architects do tomorrow?” asks this issue of the provocative journal Hunch. To begin, Roemer van Toorn analyzes the positions contemporary architecture is taking, the issues it deals with or denies, and the positions it could take in the future. More than 100 international architects, theoreticians and critics take up the “simple and hard questions,” including Tadao Ando, Aaron Betsky, Zaha Hadid, Jacques Herzog, Lars Lerup, Han Ulrich-Obrist and many others.

Rethinking Representation
Hunch 11 looks at representational labels from species (figure, logo, image, icon, diagram) to techniques (application, enlargement) to activities (practice, politics and work). As we’ve come to expect, Hunch delves deeply into the theories, meanings and practices of architecture and urbanism, providing a moveable feast of ideas.
