Monu 34 - Protest Urbanism


Board Publishers 2021 no ISBN Acqn 31876
Pb 20x27cm 132pp col ills £16.50

Our social media age marks a shift in form and forum, but when it comes to this issue's theme of
"Protest Urbanism" the need for and validity of having physical bodies in a public space still gives
a protest its impact. It is these visceral encounters in physical spaces that trigger deeper and
more emotional connections. This issue examines the myriad ways in which such activism
manifests in the urban realm, as well as how protests can become breeding grounds for the
evolution of urban agencies, functioning as organisms within the larger urban theatre in their call
to recognise and reconstitute the fundamentally plural and relational forms of making and
inhabiting the city.

Ganz - Contemporary Swiss Landscape Architecture


Hochparterre 2021 ISBN 9783909928682 Acqn 31913
Pb 17x22cm 192pp col ills £41

Together with his Zurich-based team, landscape architect Daniel Ganz realises projects for
gardens, grounds, squares, and courtyards, as well as in the interest of preserving historical
properties throughout Switzerland. For Ganz and his studio, landscape architecture is a craft in
which they are guided and inspired by art, pictures, and history. This monograph presents ten
recent projects by Ganz Landschaftsarchitekten, arranged according to the themes of history,
pleasure, collection, labour, pictures, cooking, aesthetics, nature, art, and music. Among them are
planted courtyards at Zurich Airport, C.J. Jung's Garden, and landscapes at a primary school and
ETH Zurich.

Av Monographs 237 - Houses 2021


Avisa 2021 ISBN 9788409327843 Acqn 31918
Pb 24x30cm 112pp col ills £38

In this thematic issue, the comparative examination of houses arranged in pairs permits detecting
common features and specific characteristics that link the plural of an associated type with the
singular of an extraordinary home. According to editor Luis Fernandez-Galiano, "It is an effort
perhaps similar to that of defining the genotype of an organism eluding the infinite variety of
phenotypes, simplified here by the use of only two structures, arranged in marriages of
convenience because in effect they have a common interest". Located around the world, the
featured homes include works by Adjaye Associates, Harquitectes, Aires Mateus, BAST, Florian
Busch, and more.

Arquitectura Viva 237 – Harquitectes


Avisa 2021 no ISBN Acqn 31920
Pb 24x30cm 80pp col ills £21

Few studios have fared better in reading the panorama of a profession in times of crisis, working
with limited budgets, often far from the big cities and with programs requiring a genuine dose of
sustainability. Indeed for Harquitectes necessity can be a virtue, and it is also the key to an
aesthetic of formal moderation and powerful materiality that connects architecture to its context,
as shown by the four works featured in this issue of Arquitectura Viva: a winery in Tarragona, a
house in Castelldefels, another one in Igualada, and the extension of the MACBA in Barcelona,
won by competition with Christ & Gantenbein,

Against And For Method - Revisiting Architectural Design As Research


gta Verlag 2021 ISBN 9783856764135 Acqn 31924
Pb 11x18cm 250pp col ills £35.50

Like researchers, many architects proceed rationally while including acts of spontaneity. Like
scientists, architects consider the state of the field as well as gaps in research when creating
design proposals. And like laboratories, studios are often sites characterised as much by
categorising and arranging knowledge as they are by its pursuit. Teaching studios use
procedures that can be considered scientific, approaches which fulfil the requirements of scientific
conduct. The contributions and interviews with various practitioners in this book, such as Dietmar
Eberle, Anne Lacaton, and Momoyo Kaijima, offer examples of such methodologies and
demonstrate their necessity.

Vesper 4 - Exiles And Exodus


Quodlibet 2021 ISBN 9788822906359 Acqn 31926
Pb 21x29cm 216pp col ills £22.50

Two movements, perhaps antithetical, affect space. Individuals exclude themselves, exit (exilium,
exsul, ex-solum), leave their own land, withdraw into another circumstance, depose power from
within, shun the power that holds back. Exile can be an individual choice, but it can also be a
constraint that involves, cumulatively, a large number. At the same time, people, animals, and
plants are in exodus, moving, fleeing, migrating, changing the design and the sense of territory
and geographies.

Planning And Building Methods - Architecture Uncomfortable Workshop Au Muhely


Galerie Vi Per 2021 ISBN 9788011000028 Acqn 31956
Pb 17x24cm 224pp £41.50

Based in Budapest, the Architecture Uncomfortable Workshop is an office that, in addition to


planning small projects, always looks for ways to experiment. One of their biggest motivations is
attempting to understand contemporary vernacular architecture as they continuously pursue
situations where comfort meets real human needs. Their first monograph includes a conversation
with founders Denes Emil Ghyczy and Lukacs Szederkenyi, who began thinking and working
together during their university days. The studio's name refers to the fact that the spaces built by
people are brought into being at the cost of significant physical labour, involving both sacrifice
and conflict.

David Chipperfield Architects 1984-2021 HB


Avisa 2021 ISBN 9788409327836 Acqn 31894
Hb 25x31cm 352pp col ills £85

After working with Norman Foster and Richard Rogers, David Chipperfield established his own
practice in 1985. Today his studio is a global name, with offices in Europe and China. This
polycentric organisation has allowed Chipperfield to develop an austere architecture, analysed
here in five essays addressing his studio's main interests: history, culture, materials, public
space, and the city. Authors include Richard Ingersoll, Deborah Berke, and Deyan Sudjic. The
monograph offers a comprehensive look at Chipperfield's entire career, from its beginnings in a
time of postmodern fervour, to the temperate fusion of tradition and innovation we can recognise
today.

Camilo Rebelo – Olim


AMAG Editorial 2021 ISBN 9789893305508 Acqn 31968
Hb 17x23cm 220pp col ills £47.25

Portuguese architect Camilo Rebelo compiles a personal reflection about his experience of life
and work. 'OLIM' is a non-linear narrative where memory, identity, and places are linked to one
another in a rhizomatic way, through various stories about his personal and professional life. In
presenting these collected fragments of journeys and projects, images combined with diverse
thoughts or reflections, he creates a visual discourse where there is room for coherence, as well
as for paradox and play. The book is simultaneously a box of notes to be pored over and an
insightful view into Rebelo's perspective on architecture and how he interacts with the world
around him.

Bedaux De Brouwer Architecten - Works 2021-2003


The Architecture Observer 2021 ISBN 9789492058133 Acqn 31970
Hb 23x31cm 200pp col ills £55.70

The Architecture Observer and Bedaux de Brouwer Architecten offer an homage to this
multigenerational office based in North Brabant. Despite a number of prestigious commissions,
the firm has always remained somewhat peripheral in the landscape of Dutch post-war
architecture. Its prevailing attitude behind architecture is not to cause rifts, to break neither with its
past nor with its context. Beginning with the most recent works and moving back through time,
this attractive monograph outlines how Bedaux de Brouwer is at its best when the architects do
not try to surprise, or to leave an unforgettable impression. With texts by Hans Ibelings, Dick van
Gameren, Antonio Cruz.

Rooftop Catalogue
Rotterdamse Dakendagen 2021 ISBN 9789090347721 Acqn 31980
Pb 24x17cm 148pp col ills £25.50

The Netherlands has roughly 600 square kilometres of flat rooftop space, an area as big as
Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Utrecht combined. Everywhere, cities are densifying, but there is still
plenty of room for the issues that brings with it: housing challenges, energy transition, climate
adaptation, and greater inclusiveness. Just look up. Existing flat rooftops provide a "hidden"
space in the city that for now remains largely unused, but the possibilities are endless. From
playgrounds to rooftop farms, dog walking areas to extra classrooms, outdoor fitness to solar
panels, there is a rooftop solution for everything. This catalogue details inspiration for thinking
about the layered city of the future.
