Japanese architect Hiroshi Hara, whose major works include Kyoto Station, the Umeda Sky
Building in Osaka, and other important structures in Japan, is also known for his rich doctrines on
architecture, which draw connections with disciplines such as philosophy and anthropology. In
this impeccably designed and densely erudite volume, he presents so-called transcriptions
about spatial concepts and modes, applying his decades of experience and thinking, including
texts from his lectures at graduate school and mathematical formulas derived from his
background as an engineer, to dialectic writings centred on the theme of a special exhibition
entitled WALLPAPERS.

wrapping up one more year in which Spanish architecture has produced high quality buildings.
The list of 24 works inaugurated during this period includes, along with buildings like the
CaixaForum by Carme Pins or the new Congress Center of Vegas Altas by Pancorbo, some
interventions on existing structures, such as the Fine Arts Museum of Oviedo by Francisco
Mangado, and the extension of an old school building by Gaud, carried out by Pich architects.

A world style? Justified by the trademark image or prestige of the complex technology that makes
them possible, iconic works are often confused with parametric ones, but all have found in
globalization the ecosystem in which to thrive. In the opinion of Peter Buchanan, the eruption of
icons simply marks the decline of a mannerist modernity that refuses to die. Whatever the case,
we present four recent works of two of the architects who best exemplify the starchitect: Frank
Gehry, with the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris and the Biomuseo in Panama City, and Zaha
Hadid, with Wangjing Soho in Beijing and Innovation Tower in Hong Kong.

Why Density? - Debunking The Myth Of The Cubic Watermelon

Pb 17x24cm 256pp 250ills 100col 38.95
What is density? This question is the starting point of an investigation into the nature of density in
the contemporary urban environment. In analysing projects located throughout Europe, the
research proposes that density is not about volumetric exploitation, but based on the interaction
between three elements: agents, fluxes, and territory. This book documents the findings, detailing
individual buildings, cataloguing specific urban forms, and drawing conclusions as to performance
and quality, also in an ecological sense. It also offers a case study concerning the former site of
the Renault factory in Paris, examining how an experimental opportunity can lead to a vibrant
piece of city.

Forget revolution its time for reform. As the authors of this essay collection argue, sometimes
the most effective path to meaningful change is to work within existing institutions and slowly,
surely, push for it. This is all the more relevant for architecture, which by definition is entrenched
in larger social, economic, and political contexts. Four essays on diverse topics like urban
planning policy in Mumbai, unconventional city forms in Detroit, municipal housing in Diyarbakr
(Turkey), and collaborative design processes in Tirana (Albania) attempt to challenge and shift
the way we understand and implement reform in the design disciplines.

holistic view of sustainability that sees well-being as a crucial link between the environment,
people and economics. Through profiles of thirteen green and energy-efficient projects, these
issues and more are elucidated in physical form through the diverse solutions offered by offices
