Arquitectura Viva SL 2019 ISBN 9788409083701 Acqn 29437
Pb 24x29cm col ills £66

The second monograph that AV devotes to BIG is a snapshot of the busy moment that the studio
is currently living. Their mediatic buildings have managed to combine the freedom of formal and
ludic gestures that empathize with all kinds of clients and audiences, with a rigorous analysis of
economic and environmental conditions. Opening with a conversation with Luis Fernandez-
Galiano, in which the Danish architect goes over his career, the monograph presents 35 works
and designs drawn up since 2013, including the Maritime Museum of Denmark in Helsingor, the
VIA 57 West residential building in New York, the LEGO House in Billund, the Amager waste
treatment plant and skiing slope in Copenhagen, the 2 World Trade Center in New York, and the
experimental project to build cities on Mars.

Designing Change - Professional Mutations in Urban Design 1980-2020

nai010 publishers 2019 ISBN 9789462084810 Acqn 29270
Pb 17x24cm 512pp col ills £55

The pace of urbanisation has dramatically increased worldwide, with new challenges emerging
that deeply question the validity of the post-war planning paradigms. City-making is a pluralism of
choices and viewpoints, so how can urban designers prepare for the future? Authored by Eric
Firley, 'Designing Change' examines this and other questions through in-depth conversations with
twelve leading practitioners in the field, such as Winy Maas, Paola Vigano, Bruno Fortier, and
Wenyi Zhu. It offers a combination of case study analysis and theoretical debate that addresses
the topic's complexity not only from an expert's perspective but also as a question of wider
societal debate.

Engineering With Ole Vangaard

Arkitektur B 2019 ISBN 9788792700216 Acqn 29388
Pb 21x30cm 176pp col ills £36

According to Ole Vanggaard, "the borderland between architecture and engineering is chaotic, a
dangerous field to work in. Here the basic rules of art and technique are not valid." In the course
of his career, the Danish engineer has worked with many architects to realise tectonically
challenging structures. This book consists of articles and essays by architects and engineers that
bear witness to Vanggaard's engagement with architecture and structure, his ability to introduce
dynamics, beauty, and strength in his projects. For him, chaos makes sense, and concepts are
developed from a focused perception and an ability to develop calculation methods for
complicated constructions.

Pb 23x30cm 176pp 200ills 50col £30

In the midst of the turbulent 1960s, when the world was undergoing radical shifts in cultural
values, Expo '70 was conceived, planned, and executed in Osaka. The master plan for the site
was created by Kenzo Tange and Uzo Nishiyama. They were aware of the imminent transition
from an industrial to an information society, and the emphasis changed from hardware exhibits to
software-inspired environments. The question arose whether architecture can function as a
communication media, or even if it should. In a few years, Osaka will host World Expo 2025. This
issue looks back at selected articles originally published in 'Shinkenchiku' (May 1970) and in 'JA'
(May/June English edition).

The first anthology of work by Tsuyoshi Tane, an architect based in both Paris and Japan, covers

Dorell - a stunning wedge of glass built on a former Soviet airbase near Tartu. The book also
includes his most recent project in Tokyo, the Todoroki House in Valley. Each work is analysed in
three chapters: concepts, images, and drawings. The anthology reveals Tane's thought process
and approach, through which he materialises the 'Archaeology of the Future' in the form of
architecture.

a+u Publishing Co. Ltd. 2019 ISBN 9784900212305 Acqn 29332
Pb 22x29cm 200pp col ills £32

Despite its professional success, the younger generation of Swiss architects is having difficulty
making its mark against the background of the highly renowned, iconic endurance of familiar
names whose careers began decades ago. But thanks to a well-organised competition system,
young offices often receive building commissions, and the perception of Swiss architecture is
becoming remarkably broader today. Together with Andreas Ruby, director of the Swiss
Architecture Museum, this issue addresses the working possibilities for the emerging generation
along with a selection of new projects by Angela Deuber, Rahbaran Hurzeler, HHF Architects,
Inches Gelata, and others.

To Build a City in Africa - A History and a Manual

nai010 publishers 2019 ISBN 9789462083929 Acqn 27810
Pb 17x24cm 456pp col ills £39

Africa's population and economic growth make it the world's fastest urbanizing continent. While
some might still associate Africa with rural development, the future of Africa is, in fact, very urban.
This urbanization is a huge challenge in areas with fragile institutional frameworks and chronic
poverty. Many migrants moving to the city end up in self-organized settlements without basic
services. 'Urban Africa' brings together authors from various academic, political, and design
backgrounds: as well as case studies on new towns in Ghana, Egypt, South Africa, Angola,
Morocco, Kenya etc. In this way, the book provides a critical narrative about contemporary 'Urban
Africa' and the western world's role - if any - in the radical transformations happening today.

OASE 102 - Schools & Teachers

nai010 publishers 2019 ISBN 9789462084858 Acqn 29315
Pb 17x24cm 128pp 50col ills £22.50

Architectural training seems to be more difficult to organize than ever before. After May 1968,
education was radically democratised, or at least that was the intention. However, the 1999
Bologna Declaration radically changed the structure of architecture schools as well. Is there any
tradition left to hand down to students? What skills do they need before they can enter the job
market? And how about the kind of knowledge that may not be practical, but is nevertheless
necessary to fully understand the culture and history of architecture? Is the architect a critical
intellectual or rather a successful entrepreneur? This issue of OASE examines European schools
and teachers from the 1960s to the present day.

RCR Arquitectes - Geography Of Dreams

Pb 19x25cm 400pp col ills £66

In 1990 the collaborative practice of Rafael Aranda, Carme Pigem, and Ramon Vilalta was invited
to visit Japan for three weeks and participate in an architectural competition. This was a profound
experience for the young architects, who were inspired the rich, lush landscape pervaded by a
sense of perfection and beauty, effort and commitment. Published with an exhibition at Toto
Gallery MA, this volume celebrates the dynamic dialogue that has since emerged between Japan
and the Catalonian office. It is a close examination of the project La Vila and Paper Pavilion,
where we can collectively learn and experience nature on a vast site with a research facility,
workshop, and more.

C2C 2019 ISBN 9788494767852 Acqn 29415
Pb 17x24cm 328pp col ills £28.50

Although Portuguese architect Souto de Moura started small, focusing at the outset of his own
practice in the 1980s on residential houses and renovations, today he is one of the world's most
acclaimed architects. Upon gaining wider recognition in 2000, his projects started to vary
considerably in both scale and expression. Despite the diversity of his work, which broadly entails
bold reinterpretations of local styles, his buildings distinguish themselves by clearly
communicating the way in which they are developed as structures, rather than images or
concepts. The fourth issue of 'Archives' features nine of Souto de Moura's most recent projects
while paying tribute to his masterful approach.

Based in Los Angeles, Johnston Marklee is an architecture practice founded in 1998 by principals
Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee. It has been said that the pair is in some ways more closely
associated with a group of well-travelled younger architects from around the world than with its
home city, and they have often engaged in collaborative projects with other firms in Europe and
South America. This monographic issue covers diverse projects by Johnston Marklee from 2005
to the present. It includes an interview with the architects and features notable works such as the
Menil Drawing Institute and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, plus a number of private
residences.
