The Tokyo Toilet

Toto 2023 ISBN 9784887064041 Acqn 34037
Pb 19x26cm 280pp col ills £34

In the past, public toilets in cities may not have left a good impression due to sanitary and safety
concerns. Inclusive design qualities were usually lacking in such facilities. Public toilets should be
accessible, comfortable, and anxiety-free for everyone at all times. With this concept in mind, the
project team considered what sort of public toilet would be safe, clean, and comfortable for
everyone to use. Seventeen existing toilets in the streets and parks of Shibuya in Tokyo were
renovated accordingly, all of them gender-free, fitted with the latest sanitation equipment, and
able to accommodate wheelchair users and ostomates. This book shows just how truly beautiful a
toilet can be.

Receive a free copy of the third issue of 'AMag PT', a new series exclusively dedicated to
Portuguese architecture, together with the purchase of 'AMag' 32. Issue 32 features eighteen
works by three French studios located in three cities - two collectives and one singular office -
which have both essentially and formally different approaches, intervention contexts, and
languages. Atelier Ordinaire develops its small-scale projects using vernacular knowledge and
mainly natural, local materials. Atelier EGR focuses on large-scale projects that often entail social
impact and collective use. Paris-based architect Jean-Christophe Quinton primarily seeks
opportunities to make a qualitative contribution through his work. Depending on the context,
scale, and function, this can shift between an individual or a collective point of view. Issue 03 PT
features Joao Mendes Ribeiro, an architecture practice based in Coimbra (PT).

With its babelic chaos and constant mutation, Shanghai is one of the world's new frontiers, a
reality which Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu learn from to produce rigorous works that pursue
order without ignoring their urban and cultural contexts, as shown by the six buildings now
featured in Arquitectura Viva, which bring the spirit of China's most cosmopolitan city to other
parts of the country. For its part, this issue's dossier presents three funerary spaces that illustrate
different ways of engaging with the beyond, and Andres Jaque examines the real-estate

Marking the centennial of the completion of the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo in 1923, this retrospective
of the architectural work by Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) explores this central attribute of his
oeuvre. Wright was notable for his efforts to integrate unique elements of culture from Japan and
other Asian countries, and from Mesoamerica and the Indigenous groups of North America, with
European influences and his own architectural vocabulary. Human culture, in its many hues and
forms, was central to Wright's organic architecture, respecting as it did the unique circumstance
of when and where a building was constructed, who would inhabit it, and how it would be used.

A monograph on the congress centre of Palma de Mallorca, designed by Francisco Mangado and
completed in 2017. Located along the route into the city from the airport, the building takes on the
role of a marker of one's "arrival". The complex can be interpreted further in terms of two large
lines that run along the northern and southern limits of the site, which faces the sea. Two walls
made up of a dense vertical framework, deprived of physical density but endowed with functional
intensity and architectural significance. Besides detailed plans, drawings, and photographs, the
book features a text by Mangado and a conversation between the architect and Llatzer Moix.

Kracauer's Architecture - The Ornamental Nature of the New Capitalist Order

M Books 2023 ISBN 9783944425214 Acqn 34074
Pb 10x15cm 132pp col ills £13

Siegfried Kracauer's texts are a widely investigated field of sociology and media studies. It is less
well known that Kracauer was a graduate architect, practised during World War I and was
awarded his PhD after writing a thesis in 1915 in the field of architectural history. After the war,
Kracauer published numerous critiques with a special focus on the architectural developments of
the time. They document an interest in architectural phenomena ranging from a reflection on his
own experiences to a general perspective on the subjectivity of the modern architect, as well as
more universal social phenomena. In essence, this essay claims that the lack of ornamentation in
modern architecture can be grasped as an ornamental concept of the new social order of
capitalism.

Glass Scenographies - Notes on Spaces of One's Own

M Books 2023 ISBN 9783944425269 Acqn 34075
Pb 10x15cm 144pp col ills £13

In the first half of the 20th century, when architecture and literature dreamed of transparency,
glass was the material these dreams were made of. However, the historiography of both fields
usually focuses on a few canonical works by male authors to tell the story of this shared
fascination. Departing from this imbalance, this essay takes the opportunity to explore the glass
culture of modernity through the lens of female projects whose stories often take place
simultaneously on different continents. While the former silent film actress Evelyn Word Leigh
builds a glass house for herself in Nyack, New York, artists and writers based in Europe - like
Claude Cahun, Anais Nin, and Hilda 'H.D.' Doolittle - flesh out imaginary glass domes as
construction sites of artistic subjectivities. Whether homes or domes, these creative women used
glass environments to question and renegotiate their assigned places in Western societies,
challenging the boundaries of female agency.

Ad Hoc Baroque - Marcel Raymaekers' Salvage Architecture in Postwar Belgium

Rotor vzw 2023 ISBN 9789464776652 Acqn 34063
Pb 21x30cm 196pp col ills £49.50

Marcel Raymaekers was a household name in much of Belgium from the 1970s to the 90s. More
than an architect - though technically he wasn't qualified as one anyway - he concocted and sold
dreams of nobility to Belgium's growing middle class through his business empire Queen of the
South, an implausible mix of antiques salvage yard and nightclub/restaurant/ 'estaminet'/jazz
venue. For nearly 50 years, Raymaekers bought and restored thousands of tons of antique
building components and reused them in hundreds of buildings of his own design. These
elements, without exception impressive in their craftsmanship and materiality, were - and still are
- a testimony to past material cultures and the staggering amountof buildings demolished in
Belgium since the end of the Second World War.

We have come to enjoy plentiful lifestyles in the 21st century, yet we are also facing issues such

these things. 'How is Life?' takes another look at the various facets of our everyday lives,
reframing architecture as something that serves to make people's lives better and exploring ways
in which design can be employed to achieve prosperity not premised on growth. By introducing
projects that offer possibilities which depart from traditional conceptions of architecture and the
city, the book sparks a fresh awareness, inspiring you to explore new perspectives for living
