Kazuhiro Kojima + Kazuko Akamatsu / C+a Essence Behind

Lixil 2016 ISBN 9784864800204 Acqn 26137
Pb 15x21cm 160pp 180ills 150col 22.50
Volume 21 in the Contemporary Architects Concept Series assembles numerous projects and
presents them in a flexible structure, so that readers can begin anywhere. The overarching
concept established by Kazuhiro Kojima and Kazuko Akamatsu known as Coelacanth and
Associates, based in Tokyo and Nagoya is that many different elements in architecture may be
regarded as its essence. Through this selection of projects and works, among them the Oslo
National Museum, Yamoto Town Hall, and Shibuya South Block Project, they explore themes like
gravity and floating, materials, reflection and absorption, experience of space, distance, and
magic of space.

Hiroshi Sambuichi - Architecture Of The Inland Sea

Toto 2016 ISBN 9784887063570 Acqn 26142
Pb 20x20cm 304pp 200ills 150col 31
Hiroshi Sambuichi deciphers the relationships between moving materials (wind, air, water, sun)
and topography in an effort to derive the optimal building for a specific site. With his very local
approach to architecture, the Hiroshima-based architect has gained a reputation for painstaking
investigations into site and context before beginning the design process on each of his projects.
He believes it is the appropriate strategy, even if one pursues answers to global concerns.
Recently, he has focused particular energy on works related to the Japanese city of Setouchi,
featured in this book, which coincides with his exhibition at the Setouchi Triennale 2016.

Villages And Towns - #2 Adriatic Sea

Pb 23x31cm 144pp 90ills 15col 33.50
These 10 volumes of 'Villages and Towns' series are the result of 10 years of preparation by
Yukio Futagawa. White washed houses and streets of villages on Aegean Islands; Italian towns
with beautiful squares; cave-dwellings of Andalusian villages; Adriatic towns with their main
orientation to the Sea. Many of the villages and towns introduced in this series have been
forgotten for centuries, being kept undisturbed by modern progress. They are rare and precious
architectural specimens. Spaces and forms that make up these villages and towns are the result
of ages of constant improvements by experience, and they have many ideas to offer and
warnings to give to todays architecture.

ArtEZ Press 2016 ISBN 9789491444302 Acqn 26411
Pb 16x21cm 46pp 31ills 17col 11.25
David Chipperfield was awarded the Netherlands Sikkens Prize for his approach towards the
urban context, his talent in re-using existing buildings and monuments, and his subtle and
subdued use of colour. Chipperfield was somewhat surprised, because he considered his use of
colour and material to be a logical consequence of his views on architecture, not an exceptional
achievement. Yet, he interpreted the recognition as encouragement to reflect on the role of
colour. Chipperfields architecture contributes to uniqueness and creates meaningful
environments. It is open to change and reinterpretation, because the process of designing,
experiencing, and learning never ceases.

More than just a monograph on the St-Germain-Ls-Arpajon Cultural Centre by Ateliers O-S
architectes, this book explores the wider context of the project and its subsequent interplay with
the programmatic functions of the building, which broaden to include a library and music and
dance schools. As underlined in the essay by Sophie Trelcat, landscape is the designs driving
force, seen in its cohesion with the contours of the sloping site, as well as in its carefully managed
connection with the town. Besides numerous photos by Cyrille Weiner of both the building and
the activities therein, the volume includes an introduction by Rudy Ricciotti and an interview with
the architects.

Tailored Architecture - Flanders Architectural Review 12

Pb 20x26cm 320pp 400ills 350col 36.50
This volume primarily explores the question of how architecture can contribute to society through
projects that are tailor-made, or through designs that reveal a cultural and social purpose.
Featuring more than 100 projects, and with photographic essays by Anja Hellebaut and Olmo
Peeters, it attempts to narrate the role of architecture within the complex European context. In
addition, recent developments in the field are investigated in thirteen essays, under four main
topics: life, city, scale, and form. They address contemporary issues regarding communal space,
reuse, and repurposing, the status of the public domain, and visual language for large-scale
urban interventions.

Brussels-based 51N4E deals with matters of architectural design, concept development, and

photo-novel, part real-life journey tells the story of 51N4E in multiple ways. Combining short
stories by Falma Fshazi with photographs by Stefano Graziani, it is a narrative of discovery and
embracing otherness, as well as a retrospective look at projects since 2004. It describes the
encounters and processes by which the architects learned to operate in a culture and context
very different from their own.

B Architectural Publications 2016 ISBN 9788792700124 Acqn 26437
Hb 17x23cm 238pp 75col ills 44.50
'Spatial Structure' is both a written and painted essay about the understanding of spatial
relationships in architecture. In over a decade of constant academic and professional practice, as
a parallel enquiry to the contemplation and production of buildings, this essay is rooted in a
reciprocal motivation: the basic assumption that architecture is a form of knowledge. This double
essay is an attempt to overtake the visual, technological, political or social practice in order to
explore the very meaning of the most primary formal attributes of a room, even before that room
is configured as such.

This book gives an overview of the traditional Korean residential house, the Hanok, meaning a
traditional house. The Korean Hanok style is uniquely different from a Japanese or Western
building style, since it was built according to the needs of the countrys very distinct four seasons,
with an open veranda for the very warm, humid summers and an under floor heating-system for
the harsh, cold winters. With the oldest Hanok dating back to 1450 and the most recent built in
1947, the book presents a range of traditional Korean houses over a period of 700 years.

framed by the conditions of history, material production, representation, and space-making.
Creative imagination is seen as a fundamental component to research, evaluation, and
documental production. They address a set of basic ideas that build critical questions in
architecture, including those emergent from professional practice, or that focus on personal
directions and expressions, and cover technique, design flexibility, problem solving, methods of

Written by architects Min-Gyu Seol and Mu-Jung Kang, this seventh instalment in the series takes
as its subject the concept of evolution in architecture. Essentially, this process of gradual change
directly correlates to the physical transformations of architectural forms. The volume covers three
chapters Speciation, Adaptation, Response that together outline the evolution of form
development and the methodology leading to such change. Grasshopper, a plugin for the
Rhinoceros 3D modelling program, is portrayed as a mediator that bridges imagination with
architecture, enabling students and professionals alike to virtually display designs in an effective
manner.

history and decline, with redevelopment plans drawn up and dismissed through the years. This
book presents sixteen critical reflections on large-scale urban plans, focusing on Seunsangga in
particular. From their various perspectives, the authors shed light on the potential pitfalls of such
developments and possible alternatives. As of 2014, the mayor has reversed the decision to
demolish the site, instead choosing to allow the areas incremental, small-scale development.
