Arne Jacobsen - Life & Work

Danish Architectural Press 2023 ISBN 9788774070023 Acqn 33682
Pb 25x30cm 560pp col ills £76

Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971) is regarded as one of the 20th century's greatest Danish architects.
Although he established his international reputation mainly in furniture design, having produced
some of the world's most recognisable and sought-after chairs, he also ranks as a master of
modern architecture. He painted watercolours, took an active interest in new building and
production methods, and experimented with new materials in order to realise his vision. This
reprint of an exhaustive monograph on Jacobsen that was a decade in the making, as
researchers Carsten Thau and Kjeld Vindum delved into the archives and material, draws forth
new aspects of the architect's genius.

Foster in the Future

Avisa 2023 ISBN 9788412604597 Acqn 33692
Pb 16x21cm 96pp ills £15

Beginning with the architect's formative years, this collection of essays attempts to do justice to
Norman Foster's mighty trajectory. A visionary humanist, Foster has built his oeuvre on the
margins of aesthetic fashions and with an extraordinary continuity between early and later
projects. From the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank and the Bilbao metro to interventions in
historical areas for cultural institutions, transformative airport concepts like London Stansted or
Hong Kong's Chek Lap Kok, and the symbolic weight of the Reichstag in Berlin, Foster's
constructions speak a language of technique and prefigure the future while also being attentive to
the lessons of the past.

Professor Moneo
Avisa 2023 ISBN 9788412721508 Acqn 33693
Pb 16x21cm 96pp ills £15

Sixteen articles published over the past three decades are compiled here, tracing the fertile
career of Spanish architect Rafael Moneo. The sequence begins with what was the prologue to
the monograph on his work that AV published back in 1992, and concludes with two of Moneo's
own reflections on his intellectual journey and the evolution of his oeuvre. Other articles detail
projects like the Pilar and Joan Miro Foundation, the Murcia City Hall annex, or the Cathedral of
Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles, using the academic side of the architect's character to
point out lessons inherent in each of his buildings that he has explained in various essays and
books.

Piano the Builder

Avisa 2023 ISBN 9788412721515 Acqn 33694
Pb 16x21cm 96pp ills £15

This selection of texts on Renzo Piano's life and work begins with a short biography and ends
with an extensive conversation held at his home in which the Genoese architect looks back on his
many active years. In between is a chronological reprinting of articles from different episodes in
his career, which is sometimes contrasted with the approach of other architects. From the Kansai
airport and the headquarters of 'The New York Times' to museums like the mythical Centre
Pompidou that he designed with Richard Rogers and Centro Botin in Santander, Spain, all his
buildings evince a combination of technological refinement, love of craftsmanship, and civic
sensibility.

Surrealist Koolhaas
Avisa 2023 ISBN 9788412721522 Acqn 33695
Pb 16x21cm 96pp ills £15

This collection of articles on the work and person of Rem Koolhaas introduces the Rotterdam-
based architect with a simultaneous reference to his surrealist impulses and the disjointed nature
of a career, in which books and exhibitions mark intellectual and formal turning points.
Commentaries on these seminal moments are interspersed with critiques on the major buildings
and projects. In the end, it is difficult to pinpoint which are more important in defining the
architect's conceptual and aesthetic trajectory. The book concludes with a detailed analysis of
Koolhaas's curatorship of the Venice Biennale, yet another swerve in a dazzling, provocative, and
paradoxical itinerary.

The Art of Herzog & de Meuron

Avisa 2023 ISBN 9788412721539 Acqn 33696
Pb 16x21cm 96pp ills £15

The career of Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron is presented through a series of essays that
starts off with a critical appraisal of their first twenty years working together; a trajectory driven by
a spirit of constant research that has made every project a fresh experience. Several of their
essential works are described in detail, but the book goes further to encompass commentary on
unbuilt projects and stage sets for operas, a new cataloguing of the architects' stylistic traits, and
an exploration of their intellectual roots through texts the duo has published themselves.
Wrapping it all up is an article that ventures to explain why they have become the "gold standard"
of architecture.

Sou Fujimoto has managed to find in Europe the same rural beauty and urban complexity that
fascinate him so much in his own land, and in 2016 he opened a branch of his Tokyo practice in
the French capital. Arquitectura Viva presents some of his latest works where nature and artifice,
chance and rigor, are alloyed no matter which side of the world they are in: the House of
Hungarian Music in Budapest (Hungary), the HSG Learning Center in St. Gallen (Switzerland),
the Shiroiya Hotel in Maebashi (Japan), the Flowing Cloud Pavilion in Tonglu (China), and the
Sky Mountain Coastal Station in Haikou (China).

City Without Fear of Heights - The Development of a European High Rise Typology
nai010 publishers 2023 ISBN 9789462087996 Acqn 33698
Pb 17x24cm 184pp col ills £32

High-rise is in Rotterdam's DNA. As early as 1898 the city attracted attention with "Het Witte
Huis", which at 43 metres was considered Europe's tallest office building at the time. Now, 125
years later, new insights and techniques have allowed the highest point of the Rotterdam skyline
to run to more than 200 metres. 'City Without Fear of Heights' takes stock of the past decades of
high-rise construction and describes main lessons and learning points.

Henrik Valeur - An-other City

Architectural Publisher B 2023 ISBN 9788792700452 Acqn 33707
Pb 15x23cm 264pp col ills £33.50

The modern city is the most significant expression of modern (Western) culture, which has its
roots in the sedentary's ideals of material prosperity and private property rights. And in the notion
that nature can be controlled. It is this culture that engenders the extreme global inequality and
the catastrophic destruction of nature. Does the culture that creates the problems also have the
answers? The architect is the sedentary's invention. Do architects have any credible answers?
The book is a combined, edited, and slightly rewritten English-language version of two small
Danish debate books: En anden by (2021) and En anden by 2 (2023). It is published on the
occasion of the UIA World Congress of Architects in Copenhagen in 2023 and the city being
named the World Capital of Architecture the same year. The first book followed from a course on
'An-other City' (En anden by) at the People's University - an initiative for critical, creative reflection
and action among activists and anarchists, dissidents and dreamers. The intention of the course
was to strengthen the resistance against the developer-driven and technocratically managed
urban development, and to develop alternatives to it, by exploring possibilities for a more
spontaneous and self-organized form of urban development, based on the theory of 'development
urbanism'.

Building Diversity - who is the architect?

Danish Architectural Press 2023 ISBN 9788774079941 Acqn 33719
Pb 13x20cm 256pp col ills £34

who is the architect? explores how the figure of the architect has been constructed and
challenged in recent years. Traditionally perceived as male, Western and individualistic,
architects are now being urged to redefine themselves in a more diverse, inclusive manner. The
publication discusses the need to challenge norms and establish caring as an essential quality in
the architectural discourse. With the threat of environmental collapse and other societal
challenges, the need for collective teamwork and empathy has become central in establishing a
common understanding that includes all beings. Building Diversity aims to tackle these issues
and explore topics on diversity and equality in the architectural field's past, present and future.
The publication features thoughts and ideas from a broad range of countries and diverse
perspectives on the architectural field, contributing to a wider dialogue about inclusion,
intersectionality and progress. Building Diversity is not intended to provide concrete solutions but
aims to stimulate discussion and open up venues for hosting dialogues pointing to possible paths
and the expansion of perspectives. It is an important contribution to the ongoing conversation
about diversity and equality in the architectural field.

ecological limits, in turn fostering regenerative and distributive communities. As a manual, it
empowers developers with comprehensive knowledge and practical tools to achieve sustainable
urban development, and includes chapters on social foundation, ecological ceiling, planetary
boundaries, and business design.
