A Vision of Place - The Work of Curtis & Windham Architects

Curtis And Windham 2018 ISBN 9780692099841 Acqn 28776
Hb 29x34cm 300pp 189col ills £42.95
Since the beginnings of their practice in 1992, Houston-based architects William Curtis and
Russell Windham have dedicated their work to the principle that classical architecture, in its best
sense, should embody the same rigor, the same attention to surroundings and the same
thoughtful approach to design theory that fuels the most forward-looking styles and movements.
In this beautifully produced book, Curtis and Windham reflect on more than two decades of the
practice of classical contemporary architecture, providing an expansive view of eighteen
representative projects. Opening with an introduction by esteemed architectural historian Stephen
Fox, A Vision of Place documents the authors' quiet assertion that carefully considered work
performed along traditional lines can be groundbreaking. Curtis and Windham demonstrate the
versatility of classical ideals and methods for instilling a contemporary resonance of place.

participatory art, the coalition of artists, farmers, scientists and designers have called San
Francisco and the Bay Area their hub since 1995.
Futurefarmers: Out of Place, in Place surveys their practice, with a focus on the creation of a new
speculative fog-harvesting machine for today's Bay Area. This richly illustrated catalog includes
essays by biologist Albert Colman, anthropologist Michael Taussig, curator and writer Elizabeth
Thomas, novelist and critic Cooley Windsor and exhibition curator Lucia Sanroman.

"Passivetown" is a housing project being developed by the YKK Group in Japan since 2015, on a
site previously occupied by YKK dormitories. Its goal is to bring next-generation community
development to the city of Kurobe by creating a housing complex whose energy needs are met to
the greatest extent possible through natural energy sources. These include solar heat, the
region's abundant subterranean water, and a seasonal wind that blows in spring and summer. Six
apartment blocks have been designed according to passive design principles, and three of these
were completed by June 2017. This special issue examines the buildings' passive design
strategies in detail.

Hans Ibelings And Diederendirrix Architects - Make It Anew

The Architecture Observer 2018 ISBN 9789492058065 Acqn 28619
Pb 17x24cm 160pp 150ill 100col £28
Architecture builds upon history. Even the avant-gardist creed to "make it new" still assumes a
past. It is impossible to imagine novelty without an awareness of what existed before. This is
even more true for the reuse and appropriation of existing structures, where designers take a
stance relative to the past. In their transformation projects the office of diederendirrix architects
retell stories of buildings and sites - by paraphrasing part of the story, by recasting central actors,
by making architecture speak in other words. In so doing, they make it anew. Written, compiled,
and edited by architecture critic Hans Ibelings in collaboration with Paul Diederen and Bert Dirrix.

Arch+ Spring 2018 - The Property Issue

Arch + 2018 ISBN 9783931435462 Acqn 28631
Space is as vital a resource as air and water. Yet architects seldom address the question of land
ownership. Moreover, there is no alternative but to politicise land, which means first developing a
political economy of the city and showing that the current situation is anything but natural. This
issue of 'Arch+' aims to help change how we view urban land and encourage land law reform, to
return land governance to the local level. Secondly, it addresses the domestic sphere and its
activities with the help of feminist theory, because this largely falls outside the economic equation
yet is also a genuinely political place. With 16 pages special feature on the Luxembourg Pavilion
at Venice Biennale.

designer. Moreover, it is a reflection on the contemporary Italian architectures that Zevi supported
and promoted during his 50-year career through his extensive writing and criticism. Featuring 35
architects, the book's drawings, models, and other visual materials clarify the key role Zevi played
in the post-war architectural debate in Italy, highlighting the importance of the relationship
between architecture and politics and his social passion and presence in the nation's civic history.

Sven Ingvar's Garden - And Other Essays On The Oeuvre Of Landscape Architect Sven-
Ingvar Andersson
Blauwdruk Publishers 2018 ISBN 9789492474322 Acqn 28635
Landscape architect Sven-Ingvar Andersson is renowned for his prize-winning design for Parc de
la Villete in Paris, as well as his renovation of Amsterdam's Museum Square and a new vision for
Karlsplatz in Vienna. Besides his legacy of numerous projects in Denmark and abroad,
Andersson devoted much of his career to being an inspiring educator. His eccentric private
garden is regarded as one of the highlights of international garden design, and his imaginary
letters are perhaps even more unique. Edited by Lodewijk Wiegersma, this book explores the late
Andersson's oeuvre by revisiting ten of his best works, and includes a previously unpublished
interview.

A follow-up to the original German edition published in 2013, this first English edition offers a new
foreword by Oya Atalay Franck, who writes, "Perhaps it is precisely the deceitful nature of
architectural problems that make the profession so interesting, that lets architects find new
answers to the seemingly same questions time and again." Compiled by the Institute Urban
Landscape of the School of Architecture, Design, and Civil Engineering at the Zurich University of
Applied Sciences, this guide permits two levels of reading. Firstly, it offers a selective
interrogation of specific methods in real-world applications. Secondly, it is an examination of the

identical reissue of a famous special edition of the magazine, the 1929 winter issue devoted to
E.1027 House by the Sea, the iconic villa designed by Eileen Gray. At the time this was within the
context of the rescue and restoration of the villa, initiated by the Fondation Le Corbusier and the
French Ministry of Culture, among others. This second reissue, published in 2015 and with
English translations of the original French texts, marks a new phase for the site as it is opened to

innovative design and sustainable realisation. Stimulating an environment in which good plans
can be turned into concrete projects is a vital part. Published with the 8th International
Architecture Biennale Rotterdam, this catalogue starts with the Delta of the Low Countries, with
research and ateliers in Belgium and the Netherlands, and exhibitions and programmes in
Rotterdam and Brussels.

It is commonly understood that school buildings house complex systems. From the kindergarten
to the university faculty, the journey through the levels of learning consists of an accumulation of
vital experiences arising from the interaction between these systems. The educational function
now builds its environments with new paradigms that reflect and respond to an increasingly
diverse and complex social agenda. Javier Mozas analyses these new educational models in this
third instalment of the "Complex Buildings" series, which also includes recent projects by C.F.
Moller, NL Architects, Aleph Zero, OMA, Gigon/Guyer, Studio Velocity, and COBE Architects.

Established in Toulouse in 2013, Bureau Architectures Sans Titre (BAST) operates through
research-led work with an "anonymous approach". Despite this deliberate lack of attribution,
every BAST project has a distinct character. The GENS group, founded in 2009 and currently
with offices in Nancy and Paris, defines itself as seeking to exploit what it calls the "economy of
the project". These two offices represent the new generation, and their production reflects how
collective work is valued. Through a selection built works, the magazine explores an architecture
less marked by the use of any formal language, but rather the methodological approach to solving
each project.

JA 110 - Insights From Building Sites

Shinkenchiku-Sha Co. Ltd. 2018 ISBN 9784786902956 Acqn 28823
This special issue is devoted to building sites, the places where architectural ideas assume
physical forms. Building sites are used as points of departure to examine the processes of trial
and error in which architects engage to realise their buildings. There exists a trend among
Japanese architects to be actively involved in on-site developments and to include construction
processes in the scope of their designs. In focusing on what transpires at the building site, the
moment when an architect's creative consciousness is sublimated into the building and its spaces
can be observed. The issue features seventeen recent projects, as well as examples completed
from the 1950s through the '80s.

This small yet densely packed and intriguingly designed guide revisits and reconsiders more than
70 built works by Eduardo Souto de Moura, selected by the architect himself. Intended as a
reference book, it also shows how his architecture changes from north to south in Portugal. Each
project is given with objective data as a complement to the reader's journey, such as the
circumstances of the commission, stages of the design process, simultaneous projects,
contingencies of construction, and even subsequent changes to the project. The texts are based
on the architect's own writings, interviews, and lectures, thereby helping to communicate the true

Villages And Towns #6 – Alps

A.D.A.Edita Tokyo Co. Ltd. 2018 ISBN 9784871404594 Acqn 28838
The focus of the sixth instalment in the 'Villages and Towns' series is the highly diverse,
mountainous region of Europe known generally as the Alps. Stretching across multiple nations,
including the entirety of Switzerland, the area has a long history of settlement and has witnessed
various approaches to living and building. The Alpine region is thus a mosaic, dotted with different
settlements at various formative stages, and the contrast and blend between French and German
cultures creates a place where two worlds coexist in a discontinuous manner. Through
contemporary and historical photographs, this issue explores traditional wood and stone
architecture typologies of the Alps.

construction process of the chapel by Norman Foster for the pavilion of the Holy See at the
Venice Architecture Biennale. The 'construction' chapter focuses this time on brick, used both for
envelopes and for claddings and finishes, through a selection of nine projects that show the

Arcipelago Italia - Projects For The Future Of The Country's Interior Territories

'Arcipelago Italia' is the theme of the Italian Pavilion at the 2018 Venice Biennale of Architecture.
It is an idea that shifts architecture's attention away from the major cities and toward the physical
space of Italy, where towns and communities are historically expressed in a different relationship
between urban dimension and territory, in their cultural vivacity and the way people manage
spaces. This catalogue is a manifesto, the goal of which is to indicate possible paths to be
undertaken, aimed at bestowing value and importance on architecture. By focusing on the most
invisible, scarred parts of the country, it makes clear that these are also the areas that are richest

The French Pavilion at the 2018 Architecture Biennale in Venice addresses the shift towards
seeking out alternative places, exploring and paving the way to new uses, and extending the
premise of third places. "Infinite" because they are open to possibilities, possess potential, and
are unfinished. This book sheds light not only on the processes, the different ways they are
managed and run, and the commitment of the participants, but also on the underlying
philosophical and political issues relating to their emergence. Architect-curators Encore Heureux
present ten remarkable and different initiatives, places which cultivate and believe in mixing
genres, activities, and audiences.
