Common Ground

Simon Kretz

This publication is the result of a year-long dialogue between renowned Sterling Prize winning architect, David Chipperfield and architect, Simon Kretz (ETH Zurich).Its aim is to positively affect the future of urban developments, providing a manifesto for a relational, collective and diverse future for our cities.Using the Bishopsgate goods yard site in East London as a case study, this project highlights the conditions under which an ideal urban development project could flourish.The conclusions reached through this exercise demonstrate how future large-scale developments elsewhere could have more positive urban impact, both at the scale of the neighbourhood and the wider metropolis.

This is the suspenseful and powerful true story of the discovery of DNA identification by a university geneticist in the Midlands of England--which changed the world of forensic science and police work forever--and of its very first use in the hunt for a serial killer who terrorized a quiet English village. Playboy said, "this book holds the tension and excitement of an imaginative police novel." Yet every word of it is true.
