Pb 24x30cm 118pp 210ills 160col £39.95

Issue 201 of AV Monographs is devoted to Francis Kere, the Burkina Faso architect who moved
to Germany and has become an emblem of social and sustainable construction. From his office in
Berlin, Kere returns time and again to his native Gando to help transform his community,
creatively reinterpreting the limited resources and working with the local population. The
magazine covers his career with a selection of twenty works and projects - from the School in
Gando, for which he received the Aga Khan Award in 2001, to the Volksbuhne Satellite Theater in
Berlin - and five installations - from the Sensing Spaces Pavilion in 2013 at the Royal Academy of
Arts in London to the Serpentine Gallery in the same city, built in the summer of 2017.

Oase 99 - The Architecture Museum Effect

nai010 publishers 2017 ISBN 9789462083738 Acqn 27799
Pb 17x24cm 128pp col ills £22.50

Today the architecture museum is one of the most significant instruments in architecture's
disciplinary apparatus. By collecting archives, producing exhibitions, funding publications,
organising discussions, and commissioning work, these museums continue to further discourse
and practice in the field. Unlike many other museums, architecture museums do not merely
shape the context for the appreciation of their subject, but aspire to be instrumental in its
progress. In order to reflect on the often unacknowledged agency of these museums, this issue
considers the changing context through contributions by Omer Kanipak, Triin Ojari, Pedro
Gadanho, Bernard Colenbrander, and more.

Villages And Towns 5 - Italy 2

Pb 23x31cm 136pp 78ills 8col £35

Edited and photographed by Yukio Futagawa, this volume is part of a series of ten, now
republished after 40 years. It investigates how geography, culture, and architecture intertwine by
exploring the hilltop towns of Murgia, a region located in the southern tip of the Italian Peninsula.
Each of the three profiled towns has panoramic views over the surrounding land and villages, and
pride themselves as natural fortresses. By journeying to these ancient places and photographing
their rich built heritage in great detail, Futagawa hoped to learn what is missing in the modern
world, answers to the confrontation between nature, climate, and humans that took these people
a long time to solve.

403architecture [dajiba] – Feedback

Lixil 2017 ISBN 9784864800303 Acqn 28175
Pb 15x21cm 160pp col ills £27

Since its establishment in 2011 in Hamamatsu, Japan, by Toru Yada, Takuma Tsuji, and Takeshi
Hashimoto, the firm 403architecture [dajiba] has worked on around 50 projects. Looking back, the
architects noticed a number of elements these ostensibly diverse projects shared in common.
Fragmentary indicators of thinking such as these, which transcend specific projects, can be seen
as an index of the firm's values. The architects refer to them as "tags", and have organised this
book around them, offering an in-depth look at the 50 projects through converting materials,
applying what is there, deviating from convention, new/old hybrids, making spaces equivalent,
and repeating units.

'AV Proyectos 082' devotes its dossier to the Norwegian studio Snohetta, whose most recent
proposals reflect the endless variety of formal resources of the team directed by Craig Dykers
and Kjetil Traedal Thorsen, in a search for the "necessary answer" to each specific situation.
Designed at their offices in Oslo and New York, their latest projects go from major landscape
schemes to small cultural centers, and they all share a concern for the quality of the physical
experience of users and look for a coherent insertion in their context. Next, the competition for the
emblematic West Princes Street Gardens in Edinburgh, where Sou Fujimoto, BIG, and David
Adjaye have competed to renew the Ross Pavilion, and which the American studio wHY has won.

that highlight designers' new skills and approaches, and projects in which architecture has played
a key role in addressing contemporary problems. But above all projects were sought that shine
out for their simplicity and design. Lavishly illustrated, and supplemented with expert analyses

Bengal Stream - The Vibrant Architecture Scene Of Bangladesh

Christoph Merian Verlag 2017 ISBN 9783856168438 Acqn 28182

Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, has one of the most important buildings of the 20th century: its
parliamentary building by Louis I. Kahn constructed between 1961 and 1982. Little is known,
however, about the local architecture scene that has emerged since then. Yet contemporary
architecture in Bangladesh exhibits a strong formal idiom that has its roots in tradition and is
combined with an innovative handling of local resources such as bamboo and brick. Alongside
texts by Andreas Ruby, Niklaus Graber, Kazi Khaleed, Saif Ul Haque and Syed Manzoorul Islam,
the special photographs taken by Iwan Baan for this publication capture the imagination.

Log 41 - Working Queer

Pb 17x23cm 176pp col ills £17.50

In this issue are various topics surrounding the theme of "Working Queer". Over the last 20 years,
queerness has become tricky to spot. Its widespread appropriation by mainstream culture has
made things that were queer probably no longer queer, and things that perhaps are queer have
now taken on new forms. In short, queerness constantly adapts. Is this "the end of queer space?"
ask Jaffer Kolb and Aaron Betsky. In addition, Nicolas Gamso investigates fascist intrigue and the
homo-spatial imaginary, Michael Wang writes about queering the system, Andrew Holder offers
five points toward a queer architecture, Andres Jaque looks at "Grindr Archiurbanism", and more.
