Our cities are “smart” and getting smarter, as information processing capability is embedded throughout the urban environment.  Sentient City explores the experience of living in a city that uses networked digital technologies to remember, correlate, and anticipate.  Five teams of architects, artists, and technologists imagine a variety of future interactions that take place as computing leaves the desktop and spills out onto the sidewalks, streets, and public spaces of the city.  Less invested in predicting future trends in urban technology, these case studies and accompanying collection of essays focus more on debating just what kind of future cities we might want.

The Deborah J. Norden Fund of the Architectural League awards travel/study grants to students and recent graduates in the fields of architecture, architectural history, and urban studies. This unique publication, designed by MY Studio, celebrates the first ten years of Norden Fund grants, which have supported travel to sixteen countries on five continents, from the barrios marginales of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, to the Cistercian monasteries of southern France and the rammed earth skyscrapers of the Wadi Hadhramaout, Yemen. Each grant is documented in its own pamphlet through sketches, photographs and essays, all of which are collected in a z-fold slipcase.
