Can this be? Surely this cannot be? - Architectural Workers Organizing In Europe
Galerie Vi Per 2021 ISBN 9788090843301 Acqn 32248
Pb 100pp col ills £20.25

Comprising a set of essays for and about architectural workers in Europe, this book takes stock of
the many people and attitudes involved in the production of architecture. It is for workers who are
appalled and disillusioned but who are still part of the architectural industry. For those who are
trying to reconcile their dismay with the need to make a living, but who also hold onto a cautious
sense of optimism that things will change. Marisa Cortright's critique of architectural work draws
from the direct experiences of architectural workers in Europe, including her own, to address the
ideological truths that keep the embattled industry afloat. With an introduction by theorist Douglas
Spencer.

Avisa 2022 ISBN 9788412454147 Acqn 32251
Hb 208pp col ills £35.50

'Anna Heringer. Essential Beauty' covers the main works and projects by the German architect,

China - the bamboo shelters and the Ceramics Museum in Majiayao - and in Africa - an
educational campus in Ghana or a kindergarten in Zimbabwe -, to the projects developed in
Europe, in which she has incorporated traditional materials and techniques from those countries,
such as rammed earth. Under the motto 'Architecture is a tool to improve lives,' Heringer has also
impulsed initiatives like the Dipdii Textiles workshop for women in Bangladesh or the Laufen
Manifesto for a more humane design culture.

Log 53 - Why Italy Now? Fall 2021

Anyone Corporation 2022 ISBN 9781736500712 Acqn 32276
Pb 17x24cm 192pp col ills £19.50

'Log 53' asks the simple yet provocative question "Why Italy Now?" The responses are as diverse
and multifaceted as the country itself. Exploring this seemingly well-trodden ground, one
discovers that because of its historic centrality - and its precarity - Italy remains relevant to the
challenges facing architecture today. As contributor Giulia Amoresano writes: "Amid calls today to
challenge the Eurocentrism of canonical histories of architecture's modernity and to work on
decolonizing its theories and practices, work needs to be done on what we think canonical
spaces are."

AV Proyectos 109 - Studio Muoto

Avisa 2022 no ISBN 32443
Pb 21x30cm 80pp col ills £11.50

Muoto means "form" in Finnish, and yet this architecture studio is based in Paris. Started in 2003
by Gilles Delalex and Yves Moreau, the practice is guided by geometric rigour and an intelligent
combination of precise elements. This issue examines how Studio Muoto's work expresses their
concern for ethical responsibility and attention to social and economic contexts in a variety of
programmes and typologies, and is designed to evolve over time. Selected projects include the
Ecole des medias in Brussels, Laboratoires in Basel, and Groupe scolaire in Versailles. The issue
also features domestic experiments in Japanese suburbs and an update on the Public Library of
Cordoba.

Beyond The Biennale - Discourses On The International Architecture Exhibition In Venice

Triest Verlag 2021 ISBN 9783038630678 Acqn 32462
Pb 20x27cm 160pp col ills £45

The International Architecture Biennale in Venice - La Biennale - is a platform for engaging with
and discussing architecture. As a temporary and recurrent exhibition of cultural translations and a
place of transnational encounters, the world's most prominent architectural exhibition reflects
contemporary architectural practice. Starting out from Venice, offshoots of this format have been
established around the world over the past decades. In 2021, in view of the current pandemic, the
Architecture Biennale is taking place in Venice under changed conditions - might this be a
blueprint for the future? This book analyses the methods of exhibiting architecture today.

Arquitectura Viva 241 - Sancho-Madridejos

Avisa 2022 no ISBN Acqn 32417
Pb 24x30cm 80pp col ills £19

In the fertile formal laboratory of Juan Carlos Sancho and Sol Madridejos, the fold is an
instrument with great potential in their quest to attain structural, spatial, and material coherence in
a single sweeping gesture. Arquitectura Viva presents a selection of four Spanish works, from a
small chapel to a large educational complex, concluding with a recent international project. The
magazine's dossier features two museums that officially opened in recent months and which
illustrate the trend of displaying collections in 'visitable storehouses,' free of exhibition criteria: the
Musee de la Romanite in Narbonne, by Foster + Partners; and the Depot Boijmans Van
Beuningen in Rotterdam, by MVRDV.

Pelko, in a critical and political tone reflect on each year's ideas submitted at the Calls for Ideas.
Chapter 2.Charts give a visual representation of the vast data found in applied and selected
ideas, while 3.Dossier takes the form of a statistical report that captures the sheer quantity,
complexity and mathematically measurable success of the platform. The highlight of the book is
the chapter 4. Collaborations. Here, the evolution from an Idea, through program to the outcome
is presented, thus exposing mechanisms of collaboration, which resulted in the many events
across Europe, be it an exhibition, publication, film, lecture series and more.

Oase 111 - Staging the Museum

nai010 publishers 2022 ISBN 9789462086975 Acqn 32475
Pb 17x24cm 128pp col ills £24

Museums facilitate encounters among visitors, objects, and stories while also facilitating the
staging of these visits. In the 19th century, the transition from city to museum interior was
dramatized, while in the 20th-century post-war period the "barrier-free" museum emerged in an
attempt to abolish this boundary. Today, other boundaries are being rethought as well, such as
opening up depots and restoration studios to the public. This edition examines how historical and
contemporary buildings stage museum visits and museum activities, how permanent furnishing
and temporary scenography interact, and how museums display their activities either
transparently or imaginatively.

A special issue devoted to the luxury hotel founded by Kishichiro Okura (1882-1963) and
completed in 1962 in Tokyo's central Toranomon district. The hotel complex is a total work of art

achieves a restrained elegance. Built on this legacy of refined craftsmanship, the grand hotel has
since undergone expansions and redevelopment, including the lobby's structural restoration to
bring its seismic performance up to date. In facilitating a collaborative relationship with the local
community through environmentally friendly technologies, the hotel is both preserved and made
future-proof.
