[.it] Il punto di riferimento nel lavoro progettuale di Botticini e Facchinelli è la complessità di un mondo frammentato e versatile. L’interpretazione di tale mondo è sempre differente ed articolata; varia a seconda dei soggetti e del contesto. Questo approccio architetturale fa del suo contenuto concettuale preliminare il suo fondamento. Inoltre, fornisce al progetto un’interpretazione non convenzionale dovuta alle sempre differenti richieste funzionali e espressive, oltre agli innumerevoli stimoli che vengono dall’ambiente ed il paesaggio circostante. Un approccio collaborativo e intra-disciplinarlo ha permesso di coinvolgere diversi attori nel processo produttivo. Grazie ad un intenso network di esperti, è stato possibile stabilire frequenti scambi ed interpretazioni e risolvere ogni problematica emergente nel modo più accurato ed esaustivo possibile. Camillo Botticini ha ricevuto molti riconoscimenti, soprattutto nel settore dei lavori pubblici, combinando la ricerca sul campo con la ricerca accademica presso il Politecnico di Milano. Questi riconoscimenti sottolineano la capacità di sperimentazione di Botticini in casi concreti, in una costante ricerca di sintesi tra pragmatismo e ricerca nelle varie fasi progettuali. La sua vasta esperienza in lavori pubblici di piccole dimensioni, soprattutto nella zona di Brescia, gli ha permesso di creare una solida rete di contatti che costituiscono un’ottima rampa di lancio per il futuro.

[.en] Monograph.it is a unique contemporary magazine that combines monography and review. Each volume follows an original structure, although all devote several pages to the study of architecture. Accompanying these case studies are galleries flush with places, buildings, and landscapes; when combined with detailed studies focussing on cities in evolution, Monograph.it encourages its readers to conceive of urbanisation and landscape as mutually complementary. The aim of this is to provide a comprehensive overview that acknowledges differing development-speeds of architectural productions, across a variety of scales. An ongoing project, this survey will be summarised in 'Researches' (a chapter to be published in the next issue). This will stress the importance of encouraging innovation in students of architecture. Monograph.it acts as a platform for theoretical debate, conducting interviews and hosting essays from big-name figures in the architecture world - for example, the firm featured in this issue. Camillo Botticini have created many resplendent built environments, with a geometric modish style that unifies aestheticism with ease of navigation. Their designs centre around the satisfying yet brutalist shape of a square. Provoking and bold, their work is as ultra-modernist as it is unusual.

Todos recordamos ejemplos de grandes construcciones góticas realizadas en piedra, como las catedrales de Burgos o Chartres. No hay nada equiparable en Gipuzkoa, porque la mayor parte del gótico guipuzcoano se construyó en madera. Lo mismo ocurría en Burgos o Chartres, al tiempo que se construían aquellas moles canteriles, pero en promociones más modestas.

La construcción en madera ha precedido siempre a la de piedra, pero presenta el inconveniente de su mayor fragilidad. El material lígneo, inflamable, putrescible y, sobre todo, menos apreciado, ha visto desaparecer, por una u otra causa, buena parte de sus realizaciones. En ese sentido, Gipuzkoa tiene la suerte de conservar, por una afortunadísima conjunción de circunstancias fortuitas, un ejemplar prácticamente intacto de templo parroquial tardogótico esencialmente de madera en el primitivo emplazamiento de Zumárraga, aldea perteneciente a lo que fue la antigua alcaldía mayor de Areria.

Una atenta consideración de lo conservado en los templos parroquiales que aún sirven en las poblaciones de aquella alcaldía mayor ha puesto de manifiesto la generalización del modelo preservado en Zumárraga y cómo aquellas formulaciones han logrado pervivir por encima de los cambios de modas y técnicas constructivas. Sobran motivos para intuir que aquel modelo tuvo amplísima difusión, no sólo en la provincia, sino también en amplias áreas contemporáneas del Reino de Castilla.

Más aun: todos los templos estudiados han demostrado ser construcciones cultas que obedecen a fórmulas compositivas comunes, estrictamente determinadas por estrictas reglas geométricas, que ponen de manifiesto su parentesco cultural, estético y hasta emocional.

👤 Ramón Ayerza Elizarain (San Sebastián, 1947): Arquitecto por la Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Barcelona en 1971. Doctor Arquitecto por la Universidad del País Vasco.

[.it] Questo poderoso volume raccoglie in un'unica sede una grande quantità di contributi e un'ampia documentazione su uno dei complessi monumentali più vasti e importanti della Roma antica e moderna. Se ne presentano e discutono i diversi aspetti del contesto e delle trasformazioni, intrecciando le notizie delle fonti con l'analisi delle strutture anche alla luce dei dati emersi dai saggi di scavo e dall'accurato restauro recentemente eseguiti. Il volume è articolato in due parti, una dedicata alle Terme e l'altra alla fortuna del monumento, dall'abbandono al riuso. La prima presenta i risultati dei saggi archeologici e delle indagini dell'ultimo triennio, che hanno fornito elementi sull'architettura e sul funzionamento dell'impianto termale. La seconda sezione percorre la storia post-antica delle Terme: la costruzione della Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli e della Certosa, dal progetto michelangiolesco alle successive trasformazioni annonarie, fino ai più recenti interventi di restauro e musealizzazione. Conclude il volume un Atlante con una scelta di 75 stampe e fotografie antiche delle Terme, nel quale si è scelto di inserire, privilegiandole, soprattutto quelle meno note. Il volume è illustrato con elaborati grafici nei quali sono confluiti i dati oggetto di studio; in particolare, sono a corredo del volume planimetrie dell'area delle Terme di Diocleziano e dello stato attuale del complesso della Certosa di Santa Maria degli Angeli.

[.en] Sauerbruch Hutton is an award-winning, international agency for architecture, urbanism and design. Its architecture is always in the context of the city and combines functionality with an ecological performance that goes far beyond purely technical aspects. Projects such as the police station in Berlin, the Federal Environment Agency in Dessau or the Sammlung Brandhorst Museum in Munich demonstrate a convincing use of materiality and colour. Founded in 1989 by Matthias Sauerbruch and Louisa Hutton, the agency today works on a wide variety of projects worldwide –including housing, museum, educational institution and office high-rise buildings–, impressing with precisely detailed, ecologically conscious, and urbanistically sophisticated designs. This monograph on the Sauerbruch Hutton agency looks behind the scenes, describes processes and comprises one thing in particular: many building details.

[.en] Projects and Their Consequences offers a unique view of the intersections of the visionary, the speculative, and the practical work of architecture and its relationship to art and culture. Autobiographical, technical, prophetic, and meditative, Reiser + Umemoto's Projects and Their Consequences is a genre-blending monograph presenting thirty years of work by their firm, RUR Architecture. Projects and Their Consequences balances incisive interviews and essays with more than four hundred original drawings, collages, and paintings. Multiple, overlapping perspectives describe projects that vary widely in scope and approach : large-scale studies of infrastructure for the East River corridor and Hudson Yards areas in Manhattan and the Alishan Railway in Taiwan, as well as schemes for cultural institutions including the New Museum, Children's Museum of Pittsburgh, and University of Applied Arts Vienna. Carefully conceived small-scale projects are documented, such as an imaginative water garden and the Sagaponack House, and thought-provoking "textual projects" - narrative works that blur the boundaries of art and architecture, such as a meditation on language in the context of the Globe Theater.

[.es] La Ciencia Biónica y la Biomimética crean un puente entre el mundo natural y la construcción contemporánea, en una simbiosis revolucionaria que pone en armonía tecnología y naturaleza. Este libro aborda el grueso de la investigación en las estructuras y estrategias compositivas naturales y como de su análisis se obtiene conclusiones a una arquitectura sostenible y una urbanización innovadora a partir de la naturaleza.

[.en] Bionics is a modern, interdisciplinary science that first emerged in the mid 20th century, combining the study of natural sciences with engineering and technical sciences. The aim is to synthesize knowledge derived from the analysis of natural forms and systems. Since becoming a partnership in 1979, Cervera & Pioz have worked to develop new architecture and city-planning proposals inspired by an integral understanding of the logical principles of flexibility, adaptability, and energy-efficiency that are prevalent in all natural species. In 1985 the firm started to experiment with complex and dynamic structures resulting in several revolutionary projects. In 1992, they began their research into biological structures in nature and their application to modern structural engineering and architecture. A direct result of these studies was the discovery of a new concept of structure and construction: Bio-Structure.

Son dibujos que buscan entender la identidad de algunos territorios concretos, que encaminan los análisis e interpretaciones hacia una poética propia de la arquitectura: croquis, bocetos, abstracciones, texturas, grosores, colores... que ponen de relieve problemas de escala, de lenguaje, de distancias, de ritmos... que se resuelven dibujando. El dibujo del territorio como un juego artístico, lúdico y alegre, como arte creativo que colabora en la educación de una sensibilidad arquitectónica y territorial.

[.es] Israeli architecture was and is still influenced by the International Style, and specifically by the Bauhaus school, with some local modifications. The Bauhaus approach to design began permeating into what was then Palestine under the British Mandate, and developed quickly and strongly in the emerging state of Israel. The International Style was introduced into the country by young architects, many of German extraction, some of whom had trained or taught at the Bauhaus, most of whom came with their families to escape Nazism. Others came from Russia and Poland, competing their studies in Europe, absorbing the then emerging ideas of the International Style. The will to build a new society, uninfluenced by older European traditions caught on readily, and the simple forms of the Bauhaus were applied. Tel Aviv contains up to 1000 buildings in the Bauhaus idiom, designed using simple geometry, usually inexpensive buildings on small, regular parcels of land. The technology was simple; using plastered and stuccoed block and concrete construction in a country lacking the elaboration of more traditional and expensive materials. This book describes a heritage that is only now being conserved and appreciated.

[.en] The 'Architectural Guide Australia' presents over 200 projects in the vast island continent that is home to natural wonders, coastal settlements, and tropical climates up north. Each chapter, dedicated to one of the nation’s eight state capitals, presents buildings that represent the major moments in the country’s architectural history, from its colonial origins to the contemporary era. The book includes an introduction to Australia’s most influential architects as well as essays by Harry Seidler (1923 – 2006), John Gollings, and David Bridgman.

Seidler’s essay argues for the incorporation of sunlight and shadow, phenomena so distinctly characteristic of the country’s climate, into architecture both from an aesthetic and practical standpoint. Gollings offers a historical sweep of Australian architecture before identifying the three major architectural strands of contemporary Australia. Bridgman explores the challenges of designing in the hot-humid tropics in particular, outlining the climatic considerations that must be accounted for when building in those regions.

Each chapter also includes an interview with a prominent architectural practice active in the respective city. The architects offer their views on the characteristics of Australian architecture and comment on their own practice within this context. With its comprehensive maps, aerial photographs, and images, this book is the ideal companion for those exploring Australia.

[.en] Rome has shaped European art and culture for over 2,000 years. For centuries the city was considered the caput mundi– ‘capital of the world’– and it is where the foundations of Western architecture were built. Today, more than 12 million people from across the globe flock to the Eternal City each year to admire the impressive relics of the Roman Empire and the opulent art and architecture from the Italian Renaissance and Baroque periods. This guide encourages readers to venture off the beaten track and to explore Rome’s hidden gems: lesser-known yet still extraordinary buildings that date back to the second half of the twentieth century. From constructions for culture, education, sport, and mixed uses, to religious structures and residential and infrastructural projects – the 140 buildings presented here reveal a surprisingly wide variety of styles. The comprehensive volume finishes with an overview of current construction projects and recent realisations and then a selection of themed tours to follow when roaming through the Italian capital.

[.en] Tierra del Fuego, Patagonia, Atacama Desert and the Pacific Coast: even today the apperception of Chile remains remote and indistinct. There is no doubt that its geographical location – confined between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes mountain range – has had a role to play in the relative nescience, although it was the former political situation that led to the country’s isolation for almost twenty years. In fact, it is only in these last fifteen years that Chilean architecture has appeared on the international stage, mostly owing to Mathias Klotz, Alejandro Aravena, Smiljan Radic and Pezo von Ellrichsausen, amongst others. Chile can take pride in having built some genuine Modern masterpieces whilst having preserved a close relationship with its culture. During the twentieth century Europe provided Chile with sources of inspiration. Le Corbusier had a great influence on Chilean architects despite never having visited the country; his followers, such as Emilio Duhart, Roberto Dávila and the BVCH office, realised buildings which are today internalised deep in the Chilean psyche. The Bauhaus movement served as another influence for architects such as Sergio Larraín. Overall, this book aims to be a practical reference source of the best architectural works of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in Chile.

[.en] This architectural guide brings together 100 of the most original structures built in New York City since 1999. Vladimir Belogolovsky pairs them with such nicknames as Guillotine, Peacock, Shark’s Fin, Turtle Shell, and Woodpecker. The New York-based author’s selection covers buildings realized by the world’s most renowned architects, in a period when their creations were celebrated as art, and personal styles were encouraged by the ­media, critics, and clients. The featured time span begins with the rise of the starchitect in the late 1990s, and ends in the present day. But the mission of the book is not only to document; it is also to celebrate New York’s transformative ­energy. Many of the buildings were designed either by ­foreign architects or those who settled in the city and now call it home. Through witty, incisive commentary, catchy nick­names, quotes from the author’s interviews with the architects, and detailed maps, this singular guide allows readers to see many of New York’s con­temporary icons in a new way.

[.en] The capital of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia, Sydney has been represented onscreen since the earliest days of cinema. An eclectic combination of tough inner-city suburbs, beachside communities and green outlying exurbs, Sydney offers many intriguing possibilities to filmmakers. The tensions and differences found among its many multicultural inhabitants, poorer and wealthier suburbs and central business district and beaches are reflected, exaggerated, and critiqued in memorable movies such as ‘The Last Wave’, ‘Puberty Blues’, ‘Strictly Ballroom’ and ‘Little Fish’, among many others. Sydney is a city where sun, sports and surf rub shoulders with crime, racial tensions and class divides.

The contributors to this collection take readers on a virtual tour of Sydney, from Kings Cross, the city’s red light district and frequent film location, to the famous beaches, to explore how representations in movies have both played into and influenced how we think of these spaces and those that frequent them. Essays also consider the experimental film group UBU Films, who shot shorts and features in and around Sydney’s inner city suburbs during the 1960s and early 1970s, and the Sydney Opera House, one of the world’s most recognizable landmarks, and its role in movies both Australian and international.

Packed with full-colour photographs, this is the first book of its kind to deal specifically with Sydney and film. It will find a grateful audience among film lovers, casual viewers, tourists and film historians.

[.en] ‘World Film Locations: Vancouver’ offers insight into how the city functions as the fourth largest film and television production center in North America. This book provides new perspectives on the relationship between the movies and the metropolis, using analyses of different film scenes and spotlight essays to highlight Canadian filmmaking. 

‘World Film Locations: Vancouver’ highlights the work of such Canadian filmmakers who have received less attention than they merit, whilst bringing insight into how so-called ‘runaway’ productions from Hollywood use Vancouver to stand in for other locations, from Seattle, USA to Lagos, Nigeria. Analyses of 38 different film scenes reveal the cinematic city in its myriad forms, while spotlight essays provide insight into the creativity and contradictions of Vancouver’s film industry throughout the ages. The essays examine the following topics: the masking of Vancouver’s indigenous stories in filmic representations of the city; Australian screenwriter James Clavell’s Vancouver-set debut The Sweet and the Bitter; Sylvia Spring’s Madeleine Is..., the first female-directed feature in Canada; Jonathan Kaplan’s The Accused, for which Jodie Foster won an Oscar; and, the use of Vancouver locations in a number of US television crime series. ‘World Film Locations: Vancouver’ offers new perspectives on the west coast city and in doing so sheds further light upon the relationship between the movies and the metropolis.

[.en] Toronto is a changing city that has been a source of reflection and inspiration to writers and artists whose work focuses on the conditions and prospects of human life. A city on the move, it demands policies and regulation, and it offers the pleasures and perils of the massive and the anonymous. As a site of study, the city is inherently multidisciplinary, with natural ties to history, geography, sociology, architecture, art history, literature and many other fields. 

‘World Film Locations: Toronto’ explores and reveals the relationship between the city and cinema using a predominately visual approach. The juxtaposition of the images used in combination with insightful essays helps to demonstrate the role that the city has played in a number of hit films, including ‘Cinderella Man’, ‘American Psycho’ and ‘X-Men’ and encourages the reader to frame an understanding of Toronto and the world around us. The contributors trace Toronto’s emergence as an international city and demonstrate the narrative interests that it has continued to inspire among filmmakers, both Canadian and international. 

With support from experts in Canadian studies, the book’s selection of films successfully shows the many facets of Toronto and also provides insider’s access to a number of sites that are often left out of scholarship on Toronto in films, such as the Toronto International Film Festival. The 2014 release of this attractive volume will be a particularly welcome addition to the international celebrations of the city’s 180th anniversary.
