Architecture China focuses on cutting-edge architectural designs
with regional characteristics in contemporary China. This issue,
Winter 2020, Architecture as Infrastructure, selects a series of
pioneering architectural cases in China elaborating on how a new
kind of architectural infrastructure can be formulated. It includes
two essays respectively written by Zhang Bin and Tan Zheng, and the
built projects of the 11th Horticultural Exposition of Jiangsu
Province. Another series of built projects "Toilet Revolution" is
also included. Both the academic writings and architectural
practice in this issue reveal the hidden potential of urban
infrastructure in the current construction in China.
This issue, Fall 2020, Building with Nature: Architecture China
Award, is a catalogue of the award, one of the most prestigious

Bio-degradable polymers are rapidly emerging as a sustainable
alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics and polymers.
However, the synthesis and processing of such polymers present
unique challenges and opportunities. In this comprehensive volume,
Dr. Saha and her team provide an in-depth exploration of the
synthesis and processing of bio-degradable polymers and their
emerging applications in various sectors from drugÂ
delivery to food packaging. Covering a wide range of topics,
including synthesis, modification, processing techniques, and few
of their advanced applications in emerging areas, this book
provides a comprehensive overview of the field. The authors also
delve into cutting-edge research on the synthesis, properties and
applications of bio-degradable polymers in various fields, such as
agricultural, food preservation, biomedical arena, energy storage
and other advanced application areas. This volume is an essential
resource for scientists, engineers, and policymakers interested in
the future of sustainable materials. Whether you are a researcher
looking to expand your knowledge of biodegradable polymer synthesis
and processing or a policymaker interested in the potential of
biodegradable polymers to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, this
book is an invaluable guide to the field.
Activist, journalist, and theorist, Eqbal Ahmad (1934--1999) was
admired and consulted by revolutionaries and activists as well as
policymakers and academics. In articles and columns published in
such journals as the "Nation," "New York Review of Books," "Monthly
Review," and newspapers in Pakistan and Cairo, Ahmad inspired new
ways of thinking about global issues. Whether writing on the rise
of militant Islam, the conflict in Kashmir, U.S. involvement in
Vietnam, or the cynical logic of Cold War geopolitics, Ahmad
offered incisive, passionate, and often prophetic analyses of the
major political events and movements of the second half of the
twentieth century.
This work is the first to collect Ahmad's writings in a single
volume. It reflects his distinct understanding of world politics as
well as his profound sense of empathy for those living in poverty
and oppression. He was a fierce opponent of imperialism and
corruption and advocated democratic transformations in postcolonial
and third-world societies. A uniquely perceptive critic of
colonialism and U.S. foreign policy, Ahmad was equally vigilant in
his criticisms of third-world dictatorships.
Like few other writers, Ahmad's life experiences shaped his
political views. He grew up amidst the turmoil of postcolonial
India, worked alongside the Algerian FLN in their fight against the
French occupation, and later became a prominent spokesperson for
peace between Israel and Palestine.
