At a time when these drawings are evolving thanks to software and digital fabrication, Annette Spiro and David Ganzoni have assembled 100 historical and contemporary drawings in The Working Drawing: The Architect's Toolkit, a beautiful new coffee table book published by Park Books. Even the busiest architect will want to slow down to absorb the details in Meister Arnold's 13th-century drawing of Cologne Cathedral, "walk through" the plan of Eero Saarinen's TWA Terminal, or read one of the dozen essays by practicing architects and historians on t he subject. Pictured is Severiano Mário Porto's roof framing plan for the Balbina Environmental Assurance Center in Brazil, which graces the book's cover, but many more examples can be found in our extended coverage here. jh | | |

Architects will flock to the city to take in the exhibition at the Arsenale and in the national pavilions, but Venice will also host a number of other architecture-related events during the Biennale's six-month run. One such event is the "Time-Space-Existence" exhibition at Palazzo Bembo and Palazzo Mora, curated by Rene Rietmeyer and his Global Art Affairs Foundation. World-Architects spoke with Rietmeyer to see what he has in the works in these hectic months leading up to the opening. | | |

| Bus Terminal, Aarau, Switzerland - Aarau, which sits about halfway between Zürich and Basel in Switzerland, is home to a glassy new railway station designed by Theo Hotz that sits five stories high and spans nearly three blocks. But it is the much smaller bus canopy in front of the station that is getting all the attention, thanks to its organic shape and distinctive material execution. Architects Mateja Vehovar and Stefan Jauslin appropriately call the Bus Terminal Aarau a "cloud." Manufactured from an air-cushioned membrane that gives it a gel-like appearance, the canopy is a memorable gateway to the region.
