Calm Down - Recreational Architecture

Deutscher Architektur Verlag 2020 ISBN 9783946154402 Acqn 30562
Hb 22x29cm 192pp col ills £54

Whether for a few minutes, a weekend, or a long vacation, today's spaces for recreation are
available in a variety of forms and activities, and pursue a wide diversity of basic methodological
ideas. Rather than being focused on productivity and efficiency, they allow one to unwind,
contemplate, unravel, and experience. The 30 projects featured in this volume help create
harmony and kindle a sense of recovery through their structural and material impact. The diverse
scales and typologies they represent draw upon traditional constructions as well as modern
spatial realities, wherein the design forms a framework for relaxation while enabling the mind to
escape and reinvigorate.

Renato Maurizio – Architekten

Deutscher Architektur Verlag 2020 ISBN 9783946154327 Acqn 30563
Hb 22x29cm 112pp col ills £48

Since its establishment in 1981, Renato Maurizio Architekten has consistently reflected a
particular style in its designs. This architectural language is characterised by a distinctive form
that explicitly deals with the character of the alpine region, working to preserve the identity of
place while creating an architecture tailored to the respective needs of location and programme.
Although some designs take up the traditions of the context, at the same time their modernity and
adaptation to today's needs are deliberately emphasised. This monographic volume presents
twelve works that represent the essence of Renato Maurizio's practice, from stone houses to
timber structures.

OASE 105 - Practices of Drawing

nai010 publishers 2020 ISBN 9789462085541 Acqn 30643
Pb 17x24cm 128pp col ills £21

It is hard to overstate the importance of drawing for architectural practice. Ever since antiquity,
architects have relied on drawings to conceptualise ideas, provide instructions for workers, and
construct their ideas into architecture. The specific practices of drawing have changed over time,
however, adapting to changing technologies. In doing so they have altered the production of
architecture. This issue of OASE looks at architectural drawings as dynamic processes that
shape architectural thinking.

Courthouse Zwolle - Jo Kruger, Rob Hootsmans

The Architecture Observer 2020 ISBN 9789492058096 Acqn 30653
Pb 17x23cm 144pp col ills £26

When the Jewish-Polish photographer Dawid Szymin adopted American citizenship in 1942, he
became David Seymour. He photographed a young girl known as Tereska in Warsaw in
September 1948, during an assignment from UNICEF to report on Europe's children after the
war. Many assumed she was a concentration camp survivor, and the tangled chalk lines of her
famous drawing represented barbed-wire fences. Seymour died in 1956, but in 2017 steps were
undertaken to discover Tereska's identity and story, with success. The extraordinary
circumstances of the parallel lives of girl and photographer inspired this story, with anecdotes
from a variety of people who knew them.

Monu 32 - Affordable Urbanism

Board Publishers 2020 no ISBN 30658
Pb 20x27cm 128pp col ills £16.25

The creation of affordable urban spaces - whether for housing, working, infrastructure, or other
functions - is a complex issue, as cost considerations must be balanced with important objectives
like social usability, sustainability, aesthetics, etc. Moreover, urbanisation and gentrification have
become synonymous to such an extent that they seem inescapably paired. The need to create
more inclusive and affordable cities is paramount, as is the provision of proper shelter and places
for creative and generative endeavour. Interviews with Jorn Walter and Annemie Depuydt and
contributions from Will Hartely, Christopher de Vries, and others address these and related
topics.

The Power Of Circumstance - Architecture And Creative Independence, Six Lectures By

Per Olaf Fjeld
Arkitektur B 2020 ISBN 9788792700285 Acqn 30668
Pb 17x24cm 168pp col ills £37.50

Norwegian architect Per Olaf Fjeld is also an educator at the Oslo School of Architecture and
Design. This book, consisting of six of his lectures, revolves around a number of simple but
profound questions for the young architect. These address the individual's identity and
background, and a recognition of one's creative abilities and how this can in turn contribute to the
lasting quality of one's work. In setting out to encourage his students to examine the depth of
architecture and develop a deeper understanding and awareness of our humanity through
architecture, Per Olaf Fjeld hopes to inspire a sharpening, renewal, and better understanding of
the creative act in each of us.

Co-ownership Of Action - Trajectories Of Elements

Toto 2020 ISBN 9784887063860 Acqn 30672
Pb 11x18cm 208pp col ills £22.50

A wooden Japanese house slated for demolition will instead be moved to Venice for exhibition.
Yet the house put on display will not appear in its original form. Dismantled for shipping, it will be
reassembled on-site in new configurations created by architects and artisans from Japan, who
will add new or local materials and other elements in the process. In other words, the exhibition of
the house will be a fantastical installation that combines old and new in a composite of creative
efforts by multiple designers and craftsmen. This book, edited by architect Kozo Kadowaki,
explores the project in detail.

How to Build an Indian House

nai010 publishers 2020 ISBN 9789462085534 Acqn 30713
Hb 17x24cm 280pp col ills £32

'How to Build an Indian House' focuses on one of Mumbai's and India's perennial and most
daunting questions: mass housing. It documents, analyses, and represents robust examples of
different housing types in the city. Along with the documentary drawings and photographs,
Sameep Padora developed a series of analytical models in order to understand spatial
organisation and infrastructure in residential building typologies. The cases studied here range
from residential typologies in Mumbai, such as the chawls (originally workers' housing that has
morphed into vibrant communities), to more hybrid examples such as the Swadeshi Market,
which demonstrates an interesting multiuse building.

50 Hybrid Buildings - Catalogue On The Art Of Mixing Uses

a+t Ediciones 2020 ISBN 9788409188222 Acqn 30720
Pb 13x17cm 360pp col ills £28

Hybrid buildings are urban artefacts which are often characterised by their mixed-use role in the
city. The ones that manage to get built and endure are true survivors of a rare and vigorous
category that flourishes in locations of opportunity. This volume presents 50 of these hybrid
buildings, designed from the 19th century to the present, as a catalogue of types without any
specific typology. Each project is drawn in section, revealing both its functions and a fascinating
narrative about how it came to be, as well as its place in the urban context. The publication
demonstrates how buildings which insist on mixing uses and users can more naturally incorporate
complexity and indeterminacy.

Solano Benitez founded Gabinete de Arquitectura in 1987, which Gloria Cabral joined as partner
in 2004. The studio uses knowledge drawn from Paraguayan craftsmanship to create and
construct buildings of vernacular materials such as brick and tile. This special expertise has
become a source of innovation in much of the architects' work. By focusing on sustainability and
respect for the environment across a range of projects of various scales, they engage with both
the surroundings and material recycling in their unique approach to problem solving. Nine works
from 1998 to the present are featured, along with an interview with Gloria Cabral by Peter
Zumthor.

Housing The Co-Op - A Micro-Political Manifesto

Ruby Press 2020 ISBN 9783944074313 Acqn 30724
Pb 11x17cm 224pp ills £17

Since 2008, there has been a renewed search for alternative forms of housing production that
can move beyond speculative interests and are based instead on models of co-ownership, co-
production, and co-management. Hence the concept of the cooperative has experienced a true
renaissance in recent years. This book explores how cooperative housing construction and forms
of self-determined building production might offer effective solutions to the global housing crisis,
moving us closer to a more equitable and sustainable future through systematic change. With
case studies from Germany, Switzerland, Brazil, Uruguay, Ethiopia, and China, as well as a
glossary of important terms.
