Paddy Boops details a day in the life of a small boy named Paddy, who tries to defeat boredom on a lazy autumn day. None of his typical hobbies lift his spirits--until his mother changes the direction of his day with a fun little BOOP! From that moment on, Paddy finds his siblings and friends who are also bored, and helps them get their day back on track, leaving them with a series of hilarious ""boops"" to brighten their day further. Paddy Boops reminds us that we can all find ways of turning bad days into good ones, as long as we have each other--and know how to give a good BOOP!

"How could nanotechnology change buildings and cities in the future? Imagine a new substance, that could be steered and altered in real time. Imagine creating a nanomaterial that could change its shape, that could shrink and expand---that could do almost anything... We've named this material Barba. With Barba, we would be able to adapt our environment to every desire and every need. The latest book in The Why Factory's Future Cities series envisions how nanomaterial might drastically change cities and architecture in the future. This speculation on fully adaptable environments is illustrated in the best tradition of science fi ction. We follow an inhabitant for a day and see, how everyday routines change in these new, fl exible spaces. This story forms the point of departure for a series of interactive experiments, installations, and proposals towards the development of new, body-based and fully adaptive architectures."--Publisher's description.

The 13th International Symposium on Graph Drawing (GD 2005) was held in Limerick, Ireland, September 12-14, 2005. One hundred and ? fteen participants from 19 countries attended GD 2005. In response to the call for papers the Program Committee received 101 subm- sions, each detailing original research or a system demonstration. Each submission was reviewed by at least three Program Committee members; each referee’s c- ments were returned to the authors. Following extensive discussions, the comm- tee accepted 38 long papers, 3 short papers and 3 long system demos, each of which were presented during one of the conference’s 12 sessions. Eight posters were also accepted and were on display throughout the conference. Two invited speakers, Kurt Mehlhorn and George Robertson, gave fascinating talks during the conference. Prof. Mehlhorn spoke on the use of minimum cycle bases for reconstructing surfaces, while Dr. Robertson gave a perspective, past and present, on the visualization of hierarchies. As is now traditional, a graph drawing contest was held during the conference. The accompanying report, written by Stephen Kobourov, details this year’s c- test. This year a day-long workshop, organized by Seok-Hee Hong and Dorothea Wagner, was held in conjunction with the conference. A report on the “Workshop on Network Analysis and Visualization,” written by Seok-Hee Hong, is included in the proceedings.

Der Amsterdamer Jacobus Kloppenburg (*1930) spiegelt als Künstler, Designer und Musiker das Idealbild des homo universalis wider, des vielseitig begabten Menschen. Spektakuläres Aufsehen erregte der Künstler aus dem Umkreis Joseph Beuys’, dessen Werke auch im Amsterdamer Stedelijk Museum ausgestellt sind, mit seinem 'Artchive for the Future Trashtethical Litterarture'. Dieses einzigartige Archiv, untergebracht in Kloppenburgs Amsterdamer Studio, wuchs im Laufe von mehreren Jahrzehnten zu einem Gesamtkunstwerk von faszinierendem Ausmaß heran. Das bizarre Konstrukt aus Objets trouvés, Möbeln und Bildern fiel, trotz massiver Proteste, Ende der 1990er Jahre Baumaßnahmen zum Opfer und ist seither von endgültiger Zerstörung bedroht. Die Publikation präsentiert einen Querschnitt durch Kloppenburgs Œuvre und spannt den Bogen von frühen Gemälden über seine Fotocollagen bis hin zu den von ihm gestalteten Räumen.
