AV Monographs 252 - Grafton Architects In the 21st Century

Avisa 2023 ISBN 9788412604542 Acqn 33620
Pb 24x30cm col ills £48

The work of Irish architects Shelley McNamara and Yvonne Farrell, together Grafton Architects, is
capable of merging structural strength with the brutalism of their formative years, all in an ethical
context demonstrated by their attention to the collective and urban realm. With a wealth of both
educational and civic buildings in their repertoire, they recognise the vital importance of
interweaving building and living landscape in their work: light and air are essential materials. This
issue presents sixteen projects from the past two decades, including the New Campus for UTEC
in Lima, the Toulouse School of Economics, the President's House in Limerick, and Dublin City
Library.

Aires Mateus - MUDAC Photo Elysee

C2C 2023 ISBN 9788412659115 Acqn 33622
Hb 25x32cm 112pp col ills £45

A large-format photography monograph dedicated to the new building for MUDAC Photo Elysee
in Lausanne, designed by Portuguese architects Aires Mateus. Situated on a former railway site,
the building, with its monolithic character interrupted by a seemingly hovering upper volume,
merges three museums and their collections under one roof for the first time. As Bernard
Zurbuchen writes in the accompanying text, "It is perhaps this lucid and meticulous control
between rational spaces and spatial emotions that produces the complexity and richness of this
work. We enter and, thanks to the complex and rich spatiality, we find ourselves ready to
observe."

Lorem Ipsum
Caryatide 2023 ISBN 9782493283177 Acqn 33636
Pb 22c30cm 72pp col ills £30

Lorem ipsum is an architectural fiction that takes the form of a photo novel, born from the meeting
between an author, Ugo Bienvenu, and the architects of the French Pavilion of the 18th
International Architecture Biennale in Venice. In this novel, Ugo Bienvenu, drawer and producer,
imagines the history and myth of the Ball Theater. His tale is set in a world suspended between
the past and the future, mixing the turmoil of abandonment and the joy of a collective celebration.
The story takes us through the journey of a small community of strangely similar children and a
rusty robot, and their discovery of enigmatic objects that they set out to assemble and bring back
to life. The title Lorem ipsum comes from an extract, reworked and deprived of meaning, from a
Latin treatise. It refers to the common practice in the graphic design and printing industry of using
this text as a temporary filler for pending text areas. In the context of the book, the combination of
these two Latin terms refers to the idea of an architectural tale whose meaning emerges in the
course of action, before words and explanations.

Fast Forward no. 02 - Dense City

Ruby Press 2022 ISBN 9783944074436 Acqn 33650
Pb 22x28cm 100pp col ills £29

Dense, mixed-use cities are often seen as a basic prerequisite for achieving climate neutrality by
the middle of the 21st century, and thus living within the constraints of the planet's resources. The
second issue of 'Fast Forward' takes a closer look at this proposition and discusses the
consequences for our cities. It addresses vertical densification through high-rises, infill
construction, land sealing, and preservation of the existing urban fabric, but also aspects of
mobility, infrastructure, and digitisation - think smart cities, AI, and data centres. With
contributions by Eva Herr, Christoph Ingenhoven, Liam Young, Charlie Koolhaas, Elisabeth Merk,
Philipp Rode, Werner Sobek, and more.

Pamphlet - Rising Waters, Shifting Lands

gta Verlag 2013 ISBN 9783856763138 Acqn 33651
Pb 15x23cm 80pp ills £25

Flood protection strategies in terms of absolute protection appear to be unattainable, and a shift
is needed from technological intervention alone to specific answers led by design. Water
management is evolving from a purely technical domain towards a wider territorial issue
embedding cultural, economic, and ecological dimensions. In this context landscape architecture
is becoming a key discipline. Pamphlet 16 follows the design studio held by Christophe Girot on
the city-island of Dordrecht and includes several contributions framing current challenges of flood
defense in a wider territorial and interdisciplinary perspective.

In architecture, time is an eternal topic. Buildings are made up of different layers, which in turn
have different lifespans. They are witnesses to other times, times before us and times yet to
come. Thresholds that allow us to see how previous generations lived and how the coming ones
might carry on. Our perception of time is constantly changing, too. It seems we picked up the
pace of pre-pandemic times and rushed to readapt to the capitalist structure where acceleration,
growth, and consumption define the modus operandi. So take your time and slow down with this
issue. It might seem to have a clear start and finish, but its content meanders well beyond the
boundaries of its pages.

The Landscape as Union between Art and Science

Quodlibet 2023 ISBN 9788822920461 Acqn 33653
Pb 15x22cm 376pp col ills £34

In 2019 the 250th anniversary of the birth of Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) and the 100th
anniversary of the death of Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) offered the opportunity to reconsider their
contribution to the natural sciences and to cosmopolitan vision, transdisciplinary approaches, and
the discovery of interconnected systems. Their work attests to the value of joining together
scientific, humanistic, and artistic thinking, a significant premise for landscape design. Framed
and supported by their respective legacies, this book offers fresh approaches to a contemporary
commitment to landscape design education as well as current teaching attitudes in environmental
design.

Vesper 8 – Vesper

Pb 20x30cm 216pp col ills £21.50

The eighth issue of "Vesper" is dedicated to the theme Vesper, and therefore calls for a double
mirror: one inherent in the figure of the number eight and the other found in the contents and the
name of the volume that contains them. Vespers and the design of time, twilight, the duality of
West and East, the double as a condition and as a strategy, Venus and Venice, the sunset as a
propitious direction, the drawing of shadows, camouflage, Vesper Lynd and the Vesper cocktail
(both inventions from the pen of Ian Fleming) are the constellation points that propagate from the
term vesper and that "Vesper" 8 plans to illuminate.

Micronarratives and the City - An Annotated Map of Bucharest

Grafische Cel 2023 ISBN 9789492574244 Acqn 33657
Pb 17x24cm 104pp col ills £22.50

Mapping spatial experiences and wanderings through the city of Bucharest through photography,
text, drawing, film, and various mixed media, three contributors explore (micro) situations
witnessed in the city. Alina Cristea applies her own artistic research and practice, Mira Sanders
introduces the act of drawing to represent and explore ways to have spatial experiences, and
Ileana Marin examines the creative power of wandering in the city through a selection of
Romanian literary works. Rather than aiming for an exact representation of Bucharest, the book
makes sidenotes of its urban qualities and to what extent the authors' actions reveal (or not) the
features of the city.

Despite having different approaches, the three Belgian firms featured in this issue have the same
outstanding sense of awareness, a deep respect for the locale, and an extensive rigour in their
pursuit of the best solution for each project. Jo Taillieu frequently explores the relationship
between architecture and nature, fusing principles drawn from modernism with organic elements.
Jan Vermeulen presents simple, clear, and rational geometrical forms in his work, as well as a
carefully considered use of silent materials, light, and transparency throughout all spaces. Graux
& Baeyens responds to the context, striking a balance between traditional and contemporary
principles.

a+t 58 Generosity Series - The Challenge of Privacy in Collective Housing

a+t Ediciones 2023 ISBN 9788409511761 Acqn 33659
Pb 24x32cm 120pp col ills £30.50

The construction of domestic privacy has been a gradual process which has transformed the
physical space. Perceptions of self and our relationship with the exterior have also shifted. The
house is a protected environment which facilitates tranquillity, privacy, withdrawal, and
concentration, away from the public realm. Finding thresholds to develop communication in the
intermediate space, not entirely public but in fact a shared place of social encounters, remains a
key issue for architects today. With contributions by Stephen Bates, Javier Mozas, and Aurora
Fernadez, this volume dedicates itself to examining strategies in how privacy can be built in the
collective housing environment.

Pb 20x27cm 68pp col ills £24

What started as an easy solution - trawling through the magazine's archives in search of
interviews and conversations to bundle and reprint - turned into a complex analysis of
"datedness". Blind spots were revealed, old trends came to light, instances of amnesia emerged,
and sometimes it seemed like nothing had changed. The editors decided to give the original
interviewees and writers a chance to reflect, perhaps redeem themselves, even decades later.
Some were unable and others were no longer reachable. So they asked respected colleagues
and experts to comment or give their own context instead. The result is illuminating, a truly
layered celebration of the space in between.

Flowcharting - From Abstractionism to Algorithmics in Art and Architecture

gta Verlag 2023 ISBN 9783856764456 Acqn 33661
Pb 12x17cm 140pp col ills £22

By the time the computer entered the architectural scene, its place had been prepared by
decades of avant-gardist experimentation. The modernist programme of rationalising creative
practice took a decidedly bureaucratic turn between the 1930s and 1960s. While attempting to
crack the code of artistic genius in hopes of democratising the creation of better environments, a
repertoire of algorithmic techniques emerged. Matthew Allen shows how, by reformulating their
disciplines in terms of flowcharting procedures developed for scientific management, artists and
architects enacted a paradigm shift, replacing composition with organisation as the basis for
design.
