It is intended to spread in the world from the Emirates, the heart of the Middle East, and broach areas such as metropolis, landscape, and ecology. In this part of the planet these arguments are not pretexts for abstract reflections but instead are living materials, like a substance in continuous movement. Here, each day the transformation of the environment into a populated or anthropized environment, generates dynamism, charm and contradictions. Therefore an architecture magazine can aspire to be a researching place to trace an ideal design, an unpub- lished plot for growth that is stunning even to the most distracted observer. Compasses, is not proposing to review new 21st century global style, but will above all search for quality, differ- ences, specificity in individual approaches. It will not display the face of new national or regional architectural identities but will seek a combination of angles, blending where possible, the traces of aromas of individual ingredients. It will attempt to design a portrait in movement or an ever developing world, focusing on a far from easy polysemy eclecticism, based on rigorous choices that search for newly awaited architectural beauties. This beauty will be intended as a higher poetic intensity for human living with respect to the biological equilib- rium of the planet. We, the creators of Compasses would like to assert and help the imagination and aim to stimulate the readers’ curi- osity regarding certain themes that are not always noted or evident, encouraging a continuous interchange between the origin of things and their projection in the future. We will produce four editions per year of about 160 pages in full colour. These publications will be found in countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council as well as architecture bookstores worldwide and museum stores. Each edition will build its own theme across a multitude of sources: on the whole it will be a collection of narra- tions, a mosaic of ideas and published or unpublished projects, but always projected through a commentary that elucidates the strength of explication, the exem- plary character. We will not pursue the obsession with the new (today there are numerous monthly magazines and websites that continuously update us on the ‘new’ project) but we have the ambition of dealing with a subject, in a way that our reflections and thoughts lend themselves to a distant future and can be found in our readers’ own libraries and particularly in the depths of their memories in years to come. 001 [compasses] [editorial] 10 sky architecture – Cherubino Gambardella [antology] 34 world of towers – Mario Pisani [theory] 64 under the city sky: an interview with Alberto Ferlenga on Aldo Rossi – Fabrizia Ippolito [focus] 78 towards the XXI century city: Koolhas in the emirates – Lorenzo Capobianco [project] Licensee Italian Creative Design FZ LLC [Steven Holl Architects - Linked Hybrid] 14 linked hybrid – Sila Barracco Publisher Board [MVRDV - Didden Village] 22 Saeed Hareb 3+3 grafting – Marco Navarra Massimo de Falco [SANAA - New Museum of Contemporary Art] 28 Marco Ferretti hell, yes! but really cool – Giulia Bonelli [Boeri Studio - RCS Headquarter] 38 Real Estate Editor more beautiful than milan’s grey – Anna Luigia de Simone Ali Matar [Takaharu and Yui Tezuka Architects - Fuji Kindergarten] 46 [email protected] inhabiting the roof – Fabrizia Ippolito Director [Ecosistema Urbano Arquitectos - Ecoboulevard] 56 Updates Editor Cherubino Gambardella eco-friendly strategies for living public spaces – Francesca Capobianco Tiziana Giunta [email protected] [Cino Zucchi - Free-market Residential Towers in Portello] 68 [email protected] urban junctions – Luca Lanini Scientific Committee [Tadao Ando Architect & Associates - Penthouse in Manhattan] 72 Graphic Design David Chipperfield penthouse in manhattan – Matteo Belfiore Massimiliano Assi Peter D.

A four-sided, pyramidal shape interacts gracefully with an eight-sided geometry at the base. The mixed program, complex geometry, and high seismic and wind conditions of the region demand a sophisticated design response, particularly in terms of the façade Alejandro Stochetti Marc Cerone and the structural engineering, in order to achieve a coherent, crystalline form.
