A special architecture edition of The New York Times Magazine is available online. In "The New, New City", architecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff explores instant cities like Dubai and Shenzen, that didn't exist 30 as cities thirty years ago, whereas in The Exigent City Jim Lewis discusses the phenomenon of refugee camps having become de facto cities, and cities having become extended refugee camps.

Highly recommended reading.

Good find, I enjoyed reading about the challenges the design team faced with Seattle's new downtown public library. I have been inside and it is amazing how they used so much glass and how the light comes in, great place to read.
