Sincere By Design: The Architecture Of Sou Fujimoto

Toto 2018 ISBN 9784887063709 Acqn 28576
Pb 11x15cm 96pp ills £11.95
This diminutive but insightful book features one of Japan's most sought-after architects, Sou
Fujimoto. It comprises an interview with the architect by Noriko Takiguchi in which subjects range
from specific projects, dealing with clients, and how current trends in architecture relate to his
work, to the pros and cons of working alone versus being open to ideas from others and
collaboration. The in-depth conversation also covers how, despite starting out with a strictly small
aesthetic, commissions from around the world have spurred him to adapt a larger scale, building
on the confidence he had since being a student that architectural design was his true calling.

Akihisa Hirata - Discovering New

Toto 2018 ISBN 9784887063730 Acqn 28680
Hb 23x30cm 280pp 270ills 250col £60
This monograph presents work by Japanese architect Akihisa Hirata and is divided into three
parts: Discovering New Form, Discovering New Nature, Discovering New Commitment.
According to the architect, new things are an essential part of life. Yet his concept of "new" is not
meant as something that is completely unknown, without any connection to the past. Rather, he
intends to actualise things that already exist but remain hidden, and in the process discover the
essence of living through architecture as a new form of nature, imbued with a previously unseen
wildness. The book features a selection of more than 20 concepts, designs, and realised projects,
plus texts by Hirata.

Reflecting daily life in Slovenia, 'Living With Water' is the catalogue for the Slovenian Pavilion at

and strategists rethink water management and the protection of water resources. From site-
specific case studies to alternative models, they explore the complexity of natural and artificial

powerful and influential than words, and architecture seems to have stopped being read as text
and is now put forward as image." The issue features projects and contributions by Philip
Ursprung, Atelier Kempe Thill, Guillermo Santoma, Bruther, Harquitectes, Thomas Raynaud, Bas
Princen, and more.

Archives 3 - Architecten De Vylder Vink Taillieu

C2C 2018 ISBN 9788494767821 Acqn 28894
In featuring the Flemish practice of Jan De Vylder, Inge Vinck, and Jo Taillieu, this edition of
'Archives' provides an opportunity to highlight the importance of context and drawing. Context is a
concept which appears constantly in their conversations and writings, one that the architects
explain is not as limiting a term as many might think. The drawings herein offer precise analyses
of the projects the office has undertaken, represented in different forms, through various
mediums, layered drawings and paperwork. It is an example of how their work is continually
developing, how its optimistic and collaborative nature combines three ways of thinking that have
resulted in a well-oiled machine.

Frank Lloyd Wright - Between USA And Italy

Corraini Editore 2018 ISBN 9788875707170 Acqn 28897
Curated by Jennifer Gray, the exhibition 'Frank Lloyd Wright Between USA and Italy' at Turin's
Pinacoteca Agnelli is devoted to the drawings and designs of the famous American architect.
Wright first visited Italy in 1910; there he would elaborate the ideals of a democratic architecture,
closely connected to nature, that inspired his work and that of many Italian architects. In 1935
Edoardo Persico's thoughts on Wright precipitated a decades-long engagement with the theory of
organic architecture and its implications for Italian culture. This exhibition catalogue details the
relationship between Wright and Italy, from prairie houses and skyscrapers to public projects.

Seven Automatic Architectures And Other Exercises. Atelier Blumer

The exhibition 'Seven Automatic Architectures' by Atelier Blumer inaugurates a new exhibition
structure designed by Swiss architect Mario Botta: the Theatre of Architecture, built in Mendrisio
as a research tool in close dialogue with the Academy of Architecture. The exhibition is for all
practical purposes a test of this new facility, and focuses on the concept of dialogue - interference
between multiple disciplines that are not usually seen in a direct relation with the architectural
work. The so-called "automatic machines" conceived and exhibited by students of Riccardo
Blumer are based on the use of the body as an integral part of the architecture, which in turn
determines transformations.

New Schools Of Thought

Triest Verlag 2018 ISBN 9783038630302 Acqn 28637
Pb 20x29cm 142pp 55ills £32
Since the late 20th century, political regulations, internationalisation, and rapid digitalisation are
only a few factors that have significantly transformed the environments within which European
institutions of architectural education operate. In adapting and adhering to such changes, schools
of architecture strive to develop innovative, didactic, programmatic, or spatial models that are
distinguishable. Through eighteen case studies, four of which are presented in detail, this book
highlights tendencies in architectural education beyond academia, illustrating the
interdependence between the educational model and its spatial disposition, and revealing
potential new schools of thought.

Everyday Wonders - Luigi Caccia Dominioni And Milano: The Corso Italia Complex
The exhibition installation designed by Cino Zucchi Architects for the 16th International
Architecture Exhibition in Venice becomes the occasion for a series of thematic readings on the
works of the Milanese architect Luigi Caccia Dominioni, gathered here in a volume edited by
Zucchi and Orsina Simona Pierini. The architect’s multifunctional building complex in Corso Italia,
a “silent masterpiece” which impacted contemporary architectural thinking, unfurls a complex
spatial narration from the scale of the city to that of material and detail. The book examines this
reality through original documents from the LCD archive, new photography, and specially made
3D reconstructions.

instalment a variety of authors investigate these physical and virtual spaces, as well as the kinds
of agency used to negotiate them, through the lenses of institutions and the public. Designed by
Irma Boom Office, it offers contributions by Andres Jaque, Martin Roemers, Mitra Azar, Domenico
Di Siena, Amelyn Ng, Ben Cerveny, Aiwen Yin, Danilo Capasso, Indy Johar, and others.

'Still Cabanon' is an exhibition curated by Atelier do Corvo and OTIIMA ArtWorks for the
Anozero'17 Coimbra Biennial of Contemporary Art, which has the theme "Healing and Repairing".
Two objectives mark the scope of this initiative. Firstly, to provoke a dialogue around habitation in
the 21st century, with a view to creating proposals aimed at building an intimate place of refuge
which adapts to the demands of this new century. Secondly, to understand how work and the
dialectic between authors from different disciplines, such as art, architecture, or design, respond
to a common statement. Participants were invited to reflect on living today and also conceive an
intimate shelter.

49 Cities
Inventory Press 2016 ISBN 9781941753057 Acqn 28931
"49 Cities has been a point of reference for me... and it has had a significant impact on my
thinking. It presents the city as a properly architectural problem."-Stan Allen, architect
Throughout history architects and planners have dreamed of "better" and different cities-more
controllable, more defensible, more efficient, more monumental, more organic, taller, denser,
sparser or greener. With every plan, radical visions were proposed, ones that embodied not only
the desires but also, and more often, the fears and anxieties of their time. Today, with the failure
of the suburban experiment and the looming end-of-the world predictions-from global warming
and waste to post-peak oil energy crises and uncontrolled world urbanization-architects and
urbanists find themselves once more at a crossroad, fertile for visionary thinking.
49 Cities is a call to re-engage cities as the site of radical thinking and experimentation, moving
beyond "green building" toward an embrace of ideas, scale, vision and common sense combined
with delirious imagination in the pursuit of empowering questioning and re-invention.
In addition to enhanced, high-quality reproductions and illustrations, this cloth-bound third edition
includes an interview between Amale Andraos, Dan Wood, Joseph Grima, and Archigram's
Michael Webb, an essay on The Death and Life of Urban Planning by Sam Jacob (founder of
FAT Architecture) and new interviews with culture-defining architects Chip Lord (Ant Farm) and
Yona Friedman.
