a+t Ediciones 2020 ISBN 9788409189366 Acqn 31004
Pb 24x32cm 120pp col ills £29.50

What do we call rural architecture? This new series questions what we recognise as the rural
context in architecture, the limits of which are becoming increasingly diffuse today. The first
instalment identifies projects consisting of a range of scales, each of which aims to facilitate those
who inhabit the countryside, whether human or non-human. The publication features detailed
profiles of works by Atelier Bow-Wow, MASS Design Group, Dierendonck Blancke, Fala Atelier,
Stephen Taylor, Seiler Linhart, a25architteti, Gartnerfuglen Arkitekter & Mariana de Delas, and
more.

Rick Eckersley - Rogue: Art Of A Garden

Uro Publications 2020 ISBN 9780648435518 Acqn 31005
Hb 28x38cm 270pp col ills £64

Rick Eckersley's garden at Musk Cottage is the culmination of years of design and
experimentation in Australian landscape architecture, as well as a deeply personal expression of
his respect for Australia's flora and ecologies. This book documents this remarkable landscape
and the sensibility that produced it. Photography by Will Salter guides the reader through the
various plantings, textures, spaces, and cycles, while a selection of artworks by Australian artists,
inspired by the garden, form richly subjective layers of interpretation and perspectives. Short
reflections by Eckersley reveal the philosophical underpinnings of his approach - an almost
painterly take on garden design.

Log 49 - Observations On Architecture And The Contemporary City

Anyone Corporation 2020 ISBN 9780999237373 Acqn 31006
Pb 16x24cm 196pp ills £21

This edition of 'Log' takes stock of the tumultuous and confronting period that has developed in
the months since the previous edition went to press last spring. Between the ongoing global
pandemic, the Black Lives Matter protests, the Beirut explosion, and the unforgiving forces of
nature, there is almost too much to process. Where does all this upheaval leave architecture? In
these times of turmoil and introspection, 'Log' gathers different voices and stories to present new
considerations of collective form, and also offers a special section: The Return of Nature. With
contributions by Neeraj Bhatia, Emanuele Coccia, Sylvia Lavin, Gokhan Kodalak, Erin Manning,
and others.

Shinkenchiku-Sha Co. Ltd. 2020 ISBN 9784900212541 Acqn 31032
Pb 22x29cm 168pp col ills £32

This special issue on architect and urban designer Arata Isozaki has four unique features that are
usually absent in conventional overviews of his work. Firstly, only projects by Isozaki from the
1970s are included; secondly, it features working drawings rather than design drawings; thirdly,
just four works were selected for inclusion; and finally, particular emphasis was made in the
interview with the architect to elicit his own remarks on topics pertaining to the 1970s, theory and
practice, and what was experimental about specific buildings. The chosen works are the Oita
Medical Hall Extension, Kitakyushu Central Library, West Japan General Exhibition Centre, and
Kaijima House.

Behelfsheim - Enver Hirsch And Philipp Meuser

Hirsch And Meuser 2020 ISBN 9783000656309 Acqn 31041
Hb 22x26cm 144pp col ills £44

During and shortly after the end of the Second World War, hundreds of thousands makeshift
homes were built in and around the destroyed cities of Germany. Many were built in allotment
gardens, which were largely spared from Allied bombing. Constructed of debris or the simplest
building materials, most of these houses have since undergone a continuous structural and
spatial upgrade. But this dwelling type is slowly disappearing as Germany's cities expand and
densify. In 'Behelfsheim', Enver Hirsch and Philipp Meuser document the phenomenon through
photographs and historical graphics, a final acknowledgement of a temporary arrangement and
its unique materiality.

Migrant Marseille - Architectures Of Social Segregation And Urban Inclusivity

Ruby Press 2020 ISBN 9783944074337 Acqn 31045
Pb 13x21cm 270pp col ills £33.50

Deeply divided, with ethnic French dominating the south and a large, vibrant North African
community in the north, the city of Marseille typifies the tensions stemming from problematic
governance, a constant influx of migrants, the widespread privatisation of services, and rapid,
profit-driven, and destructive post-industrial urbanisation. Examining this complex city through a
series of case studies of its built environment, this book tells of an urban reality where migration is
especially prevalent. Essays, photographs, and drawings illustrate the impact of migration on
space, architecture, and territory. But it also offers strategies for development that can support
social and spatial integration.

A.Mag 2020 ISBN 9789895462094 Acqn 31058
Pb 24x32cm 182pp col ills £47.50

Tony Fretton Architects covers different dimensions and typologies, from government buildings
and public offices, to multipurpose cultural spaces and collective or private housing. The
architecture is characterised by its high quality and sensory experience, not only in the daily use
of spaces but also from a social perspective and urban scale. Powerfully direct, Tony Fretton's
work is elaborated from refreshingly uncomplicated architectural strategies. Featured here are
twelve examples of his work, including Kapoor House in Chelsea, the new British Embassy in
Warsaw, Prinsendam and Houthaven residential blocks in Amsterdam, Dunant Gardens in Ghent,
and more.

Yona Friedman Roofs - Local Materials, Simple Technology, Sophisticated Ideas

Quodlibet 2020 ISBN 9788822903228 Acqn 31018
Pb 17x24cm 440pp col ills £41.75

Gleaned from texts written from the 1970s onwards, this volume collects practical information on
the construction of roofs and shelters that were intended to meet the material needs of
impoverished peoples in the Global South. It is representative of architect Yona Friedman's
foresight in those years, as he had already decided to focus his interventions on how to include
the inhabitants in the design of their habitat and dwellings. Besides being tested for UNESCO,
Friedman's manuals include essential "blackboard" sketches. Ultimately, 'Roofs' highlights the
fact that the various issues facing modern cities are the result of irresponsible attitudes towards
our planet.

Pb 13x20cm 224pp ills £21.95

This second issue of 'villardjournal' explores the wide range of themes connected to
communication and architecture. It approaches this complex and often conflicting relationship
from different perspectives, with an emphasis on looking at architecture as a means of
communication. Other topics include investigating the migration of architectural strategies and
attitudes into the immaterial flows of information, surveying the situation of the media in relation to
architecture and their possible evolution, exploring the ways in which communication works inside
the design process, and addressing the need for narrative devices in order to ease the reception
of architectural experiments.

We are undeniably living in an era of enormous environmental crisis with climate change and
species extinction as the most outstanding features of it. These issues challenge our societal
systems and relationship with nature. In addition, more than half of the planet's population live in
urban areas, where environmental problems tend to culminate and where counteractive efforts
should be concentrated. How can landscape architecture solve these urgent problems? This
dissertation provides new scientific knowledge on collaborative planning and design of urban
socio-ecological systems.

Monu 33 - Pandemic Urbanism

Board Publishers 2020 no ISBN 31034
Pb 20x27cm 132pp col ills £16.50

There is much to discuss regarding what kinds of changes and shifts the coronavirus pandemic
might bring to cities. Some of these could be spatial, subtle changes triggered by social
distancing, confinement, and lockdown measures, and others might be articulated in new modes
of social interaction and domestic activities. There will certainly be long-term effects on politics,
socioeconomics, culture, and the environment. This issue of 'MONU' addresses what effects
pandemics have on cities, both today and in the past, and analyses their urban impact, yet also
looks for new ideas and approaches that improve our dealings with the current situation in these
strange times.

"We need to reimagine_", "we need to reimagine_". How many times have we heard these 4
words in the last 1000 zoom sessions? From coerced co-habitation to broken logistic flows, this
locked-down world is neck-deep in spatial issues. Then why are architects, masters of spatial
intelligence, left screaming their solutions underwater? For one last time, let's not waste this crisis
and dig openly into our defaults. To debunk them, often all it takes is a: "Yes, but why?" The
aftermath of the pandemic will result in another long global transition, and architects cannot afford
to waste time feeding golden calves. Before we operate, this time we must change the default
settings.
