Arquitectura Viva 261 - FRPO Rodriguez & Oriol

Avisa 2024 no ISBN Acqn 34393
Pb 24x30cm 80pp col ills £24.75

Ever since first meeting as students, Spanish architects Fernando Rodriguez and Pablo Oriol
have shared an infrastructural approach to tackling projects - less in relation to mechanical logic
and more in terms of an organisational capacity to take on complex contexts and programmes.
For every commission they set down a different set of rules. The two are convinced that for
particular problems there can only be specific solutions. An overview of their varied work features
the Estacion San Jose Complex in Toluca (Mexico), Unolab Headquarters in Getafe (Spain), a
thermal power station in Palencia (Spain), and the new artistic production facilities for Milan's
Teatro alla Scala in Italy.

trans 43 – Silence
gta Verlag 2024 ISBN 9783856764623 Acqn 34394
Pb 21x28cm 162pp col ills £22.50

We try to put our thoughts into words to describe what we feel or believe. We communicate with
our bodies and speak through our actions. But silence is a language, too. In silence, complex
relationships unfold and allow unspoken realities to emerge. In every absence lies a presence, in
every pause a possibility. This issue of 'trans magazin' invites you to perceive this concept
beyond the absence of sound. A deep breath and closed eyes can evoke the feeling of infinite
solitude. Allow yourself to be lost in a forest and hear your heartbeat, to protest without words, or
to dive into the bursting vibrations of a rave. Only then will you be able to listen to the echo of
silence around you.

Maurice Nio - The Suspense of Architecture, The Necessity to Shine

Duizend & Een 2024 ISBN 9789071346552 Acqn 34395
Pb 11x17cm 432pp col ills £33

In a way, this book can be regarded as a manuscript. A bundle of translated texts, essays,
interviews, and images selected from among the numerous suggestions and various submissions
from the author, which in the end failed to receive his authorisation. It is the culmination of the
final project undertaken by Rotterdam-based architect Maurice Nio before losing a long-running
battle with cancer in July 2023. Designed by Thomas Buxo, the book is a white version of what
Nio calls his black bible. Instead of writing on that which is secret, obscure, black, and elusive, he
now addresses that which is shining, clear, whiter than white, and obvious.

Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach - Project of a Historical Architecture

Humboldt Books 2024 ISBN 9791280336200 Acqn 34399
Pb 27x17cm 296pp ills £45

On 26 July 1721 the Wiener Diarium informed its readers that a new book by the general
surveyor of constructions, Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, titled Entwurff Einer Historischen
Architectur, was ready for subscribers to collect from the architect's place. The Entwurff is a
collection of 86 sheets illustrating the architecture of the Jews, Egyptians, Syrians, Persians,
Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Turks, Siamese, Chinese and Japanese, along with some of the
author's projects. Upon the third centenary of the author's death this re-print proposesto look back
at Fischer's book as a precise cultural project, reacting to a specific historical and geographical
context, and yet suggesting a more general attitude that can challenge contemporary architecture
as well.

The Autonomy of Theory - Ticino Architecture and Its Critical Reception

gta Verlag 2023 ISBN 9783856764319 Acqn 34608
Pb 12x17cm 188pp col ills £28.50

Following the exhibition 'Tendenzen-Neuere Architektur im Tessin' in Zurich in 1975,

contemporaneous architecture in Ticino became the subject of fervent coverage in Swiss and
international publications. This extended essay argues that the critical attention emancipated the
narratives of Ticino architecture from the actual conditions of production, leading to the
paradoxical divergence of its historiography from its history. Placing well-known external
constructs, such as the notion of the School of the Ticino, against the robust skepticism of local
architects and historians, the essay chronicles the long-term consequences of the misalignment
between autonomous theory and situated knowledge.

Sub Topo Graphia - Espai Crater Museum Olot

Altrim 2024 ISBN 9788412622294 Acqn 34613
Pb 23x31cm 164pp col ills £33

The new Crater Museum designed by Anna Codina and Toni Casamor is built on an ancient
dormant volcano near the town centre of Olot in Catalonia. The subterranean building suggests a
geological rift and frees up a large area of land for a new urban park. Its exterior is only visible
from the two facing entrances, which create a walkway that crosses the interior of the building,
itself constructed using materials from the volcanic landscape. The park is conceived as a natural
beech grove, illuminated at night by lamps in the trees that simulate the flight of fireflies. With an
introduction by Juhani Pallasmaa, this book digs into the evocative museum and its geological
context in detail.
