Ghosts of transparency : shadows cast and shadows cast out
In this book, the editors focus on architecture and communication from various different perspectives -- taking into account that the term \"architecture\" is used for buildings as well as in the context of computer software. Data and software also impact on our cities; raw data, however, do not convey any information -- in order to generate information and communication they have to be organized and must make sense to the reader. The contributions avoid clear separation of the various communication spheres of their disciplines. Instead, they use the wide range of approaches to explore meanings -- an ambitious aim that leaves the destination wide open; the reader is invited to share in this adventure.

Narrative Environments and Experience Design
This book argues that narrative people and place are inseparable and pursues the consequences of this insight through the design of narrative environments.
This is a new and distinct area of practice that weaves together and extends narrative theory, spatial theory and design theory. Examples of narrative spaces, such as exhibitions, brand experiences, urban design and socially engaged participatory interventions in the public realm, are explored to show how space acts as a medium of communication through a synthesis of materials, structures and technologies, and how particular social behaviours are reproduced or critiqued through spatial narratives.
This book will be of interest to scholars in design studies, urban studies, architecture, new materialism and design practitioners in the creative industries.

Corporate architecture
\"Corporate architecture plays an important role, not only in presenting the external face of a company, but also reflecting how a company's self-perception. Such architecture can be part of an overall corporate design and is an extremely important part of corporate identity. Companies want a building that identifies them; this can be either a landmark or an advertisement, but ideally a building that symbolizes that values and virtues of the specific company\"--Preface.

IoT‐based cyber‐physical communication architecture: challenges and research directions
In order to provide intelligent services, the Internet of Things (IoT) facilitates millions of smart cyber‐physical devices to be enabled with network connectivity to sense, collect, process, and exchange information. Unfortunately, the traditional communication infrastructure is vulnerable to cyber attacks and link failures, so it is a challenging task for the IoT to explore these applications. In order to begin research and contribute into the IoT‐based cyber‐physical digital world, one will need to know the technical challenges and research opportunities. In this study, several key technical challenges and requirements for the IoT communication systems are identified. Basically, privacy, security, intelligent sensors/actuators design, low cost and complexity, universal antenna design, and friendly smart cyber‐physical system design are the main challenges for the IoT implementation. Finally, the authors present a diverse set of cyber‐physical communication system challenges such as practical implementation, distributed state estimation, real‐time data collection, and system identification, which are the major issues require to be addressed in implementing an efficient and effective IoT communication system.

Architectural diagrams 2
In the last few decades, the diagram has evolved into a constitutive, generative medium for the architectural design process and is now an everyday term used in the context of design. The diagram represents an imaginative process that enables architects to transform typologies, figures, and models using analogue and digital design procedures. This process is creative and erratic. It is highly intuitive and variable and follows its own logic. As such, the diagram, with its lines, points, and strokes, operates at the intersection of geometry, art, and theory. The second edition of this book from the series Construction and Design Manuals presents a selection of projects by prominent architects and designers in the form of diagrams, drawn from the fields of architecture, interior design, and installation. This volume also features an essay by the philosopher Lidia Gasperoni.

The identity of the architect
Today there are more tools for communication than ever before, yet very little in the way of reflection on how these are being used and even less on what exactly is being conveyed.This issue of AD looks at how architecture is communicated from a cultural perspective. Do the identities of practices or their business-driven branding and promotional efforts resonate with the critical acclaim many architects seek? Has slick image-led media coverage sold the profession short?How is it possible to convey the less visual and haptic qualities of architecture? Can architects be more creative in their communication efforts, making these joyous on their own terms as Le Corbusier did so memorably?Is there really a need to succumb to the world of corporate marketing processes and managerial business jargon?
The issue explores notions of editing and curating work in an age of data deluge, and discusses social media as a genuinely alternative space for communication rather than for just repurposing and regurgitating information relayed. The Identity of the Architect encourages the promotion of practices as an integral extension of the very culture they hope to engender through their work.
