• Investigating for you... "The effects of climate change have taken on a new dimension since disasters such as hurricane Katrina. Against this background, calls for energy-efficient architecture are now being heard even in regions where such matters have received little attention in the past. What is the situation in your country? Is society ready for ecological change and what role do you believe architecture can play in such a process?" with Dr. Ken Yeang (Ampang), James Wines (New York), and Dietrich Untertrifaller (Bregenz)

• Investigating for you... "What role does colour play in your architecture? Is it limited strictly to the colours of the materials, or do you use the whole range of colours that the manufacturers supply us with? What does the choice of colour in your projects depend upon - the site of a building, the expected use or the atmosphere that you intend a building to have?", with Anne-Françoise Jumeau (Paris), Fermín Vázquez (Barcelona) and Bjarne Ringstad (Oslo)

Articles

• Foreword by Jochen Stotmeister
• Investigating for you... "Numerous new materials and material technologies have made their mark on architecture in the past 10 years.

Articles

• Foreword by Jochen Stotmeister
• The inside story... "Participation by users in the planning process is a lively talking point once again. Some architects even go so far as to describe their role as that of mere 'mediators' of common decision-making processes that lead to the design of a building, and no longer as the designers in their own right. What experience have you had with the various mechanisms of user participation, and how do you rate such a form of involvement?", with Romuald Loegler (Krakow), Jens Thomas Arnfred (Copenhagen) and Franz Sumnitsch (Vienna)
