[.en] The objective of this richly illustrated introduction is to explain and demystify the design processes in architecture, urban design, and design. Starting with the five parameters originally established by Peter von Seidlein's Stuttgart Chair for Building Construction and Design, i.e. grid, function, detail, material, and cost, the art of design leads to their integration in a balanced whole. In the second part of the book the author analyzes in detail the application of these parameters in nine case studies from different periods, in different scales and typologies - from furniture to private and public buildings, through to urban design. The book is intended for students as well as for lay people who wish to participate in the public debate on the built environment.

[.en] Urban microclimates cannot be explained solely on the basis of scientific phenomena, but are also affected materially and spatially by the city's local architecture. The layout, design, and facade construction of buildings have a major impact on wind and temperature conditions. For this reason, architecture and urban design that have an effect on microclimates must be investigated in their social and cultural contexts. The publication uses international case studies to explain these relationships. The focus is on manifestations of urban microclimates in an architectural and urban design context. The places investigated are located in France, Italy, the USA, New Zealand, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Burkina Faso.

[.en] What will architecture be like in the coming years and decades? Are new trends and tendencies emerging? This book presents architects and companies of all schools and styles that could determine the future of construction - and highly likely will do so. Short portraits of the protagonists and their respective design principles are complemented by the presentation of individual works.

World affairs are hardly predictable – but what about our constructed world? Between utopia and reality, experiment and experience, a new generation of gifted architects is designing our built environment in the face of the challenges of our time – sustainability, social justice, and cultural diversity. ‘Young Visionaries. The New Generation of Architects’ presents 51 outstanding protagonists of all schools and styles who could determine the architectural scene of tomorrow – and most certainly will do so. Short portraits and the design principles of each architect are complemented by presentations of showcase projects and principal individual works, whether already implemented or visionary on paper. With an innovative spirit, personal style and modern technology these visionaries have already caught the attention of the professional world and opened the eyes of the general public for what the future has in store, already securing their spot in the top league of the architecture sector.

[.en] The author examines the urban development of Budapest from 1990 to 2010. This period is characterized by the significant decline in communally town planning: given the structural legacies of socialist urbanization, the decentralization of government and resources, and the impact of a post-socialist culture struggle, a trend is being analyzed in which nebulous competencies lead to unclear and thus to a failure of higher-level planning. The ensuing consequence is an increase in large, investment-driven projects: it is characteristic of these privately financed projects that they do not submit to higher level control, in particular when these control bodies are rather weak. This model-based analysis presents the phenomenon as exemplary of the development in post-socialist cities.

[.en] Some time ago, Walter Benjamin and Asja Lacis used the term "porosity" with reference to Naples' urban characteristics - spaces merging into each other and providing the backdrop for the unforeseen - improvisation as a way of life. Today, the term "porosity" in this context is increasingly used conceptually. Well-known authors from the worlds of architecture, town planning, and landscape design embark on a search for new concepts for a life-enhancing, user-friendly city - with reference to this enigmatic term. The term refers to the overlaying and interweaving of spaces and structures, to urban textures and their architectural properties and qualities - to cities with radically mixed urban functions.

[.en] The International Building Exhibition 1984/87 in Berlin constitutes one of the most remarkable examples to discuss "open architecture". Almost 10,000 dwellings were constructed or restored in the Kreuzberg districts adjacent to the Berlin Wall, inhabited about halfway by immigrants. The renowned author Esra Akcan, related in many ways to Turkey, Berlin and the USA, narrates the history and reverberations of this architectural-political event.

[.en] The interaction between color and architecture determines our perception of space, and defines the tectonic relationships. The fascinating spatial potential of color, and the multi-layered dimensions of interpretation in the experience of color are design and communication means which, however, are often not fully used - color oscillates between autonomy and functional purpose, and should be understood as a distinct "material" that can be used as part of the design. The book focuses both on the tangible aspects and design criteria of color, and on its indeterminate nature and its experience value. Using examples in art and architecture, the spatial interdependency of color is illustrated, as is its interaction with structure, light, and geometry.

[.en] The quintessential Japanese architect of today, Kengo Kuma has forged a modern design language that artfully combines the country’s traditional building crafts with sophisticated technologies and materials. Associating a deep understanding and respect for native construction techniques with a more globalized outlook than many of his compatriots, Kengo Kuma’s work represents a significant generational shift in a country rich with contemporary architecture. From his iconic Glass House (1995) to the Nezu Museum in Tokyo, this is the complete record of Kengo Kuma’s built work, comprising twentyfour projects to date. Architecture historian Kenneth Frampton frames Kuma’s work in the context of post-war Japan’s flourishing architecture scene and influential figures and offers a perspective on the international acclaim of Kuma’s ideas and buildings. Projects are organized by the material themes that have come to define the architect’s output: Water and Foliage; Wood; Bamboo and Grass; and Stone and Ceramics. Kuma develops a personal and architectural reflection on each. Each building is presented through descriptive text, newly commissioned photographs and detailed drawings, this last revealing a privileged view of the refined architectonic vocabulary that characterizes Kuma’s buildings. With the close collaboration of Kuma, this major monograph fully documents a leading light of the global architecture scene, offering a rich insight into contemporary interpretations of Japan’s ancient building traditions. This beautifully produced book will be an inspiration to any designer who aims to create spaces for history and the future.

[.es] En 1994 la revista japonesa a+u dedicó un número especial al tema de la percepción en la arquitectura, publicación en la que Steven Holl, Alberto Pérez-Gómez y Juhani Pallasmaa colaboran con sendos ensayos. En el marco de un feroz debate a propósito de la introducción de los nuevos instrumentos digitales en el estudio de arquitectura, Steven Holl se desmarca radicalmente del tema para explicar el importante papel que desempeñan la percepción humana, la experiencia fenoménica y la intuición en la experiencia y la formación perceptiva del espacio construido. Junto al análisis de unas "zonas fenoménicas" que se corresponderían con los diferentes fenómenos perceptivos, Holl expone su propia experiencia directa con la arquitectura e ilustra el tipo de matices fenomenológicos sobre los que se apoyan sus argumentos.

[.es] Hans Van Der Laan no ve la arquitectura como una disciplina independiente sino más bien como un complemento indispensable de la naturaleza. Busca la reconciliación del hombre con la naturaleza sin apoyar su razonamiento en argumentos abstractos o estilos históricos o actuales. Sitúa el ser humano en el gran contraste del "lleno - hueco" de la materia y el espacio, dentro de su "espacio de experiencia", articulando en armonía con su condición física, en una secuencia de tres zonas. La primera más íntima es la "cella" para las actividades a la escala y el alcance de la mano y más allá el "recinto", que corresponde a los movimientos a pie, rodeado a su vez por el "dominio" que cubre el campo visual entero. Todo se sitúa dentro del espacio natural infinito. Desglosa con toda precisión su teoría del "número plástico", un sistema estructurado en proporciones que define las medidas de todas las partes en tres dimensiones. No es un catálogo de medidas prefijadas, sino que se ajustan en cada obra mediante el "número plástico" con lo que se impregna toda la obra desde la unidad hasta las dimensiones máximas del conjunto y del terreno. Van der Laan ha realizado, aplicando su teoría, unas obras que le han colocado en un lugar muy destacado de la arquitectura contemporánea.

[.fr] Actualités d'une histoire. Les écoles d'architecture construites en France depuis les années 1950 sont au centre des préoccupations actuelles, notamment parce que leur valeur d'usage, mais aussi leur valeur patrimoniale, sont en question. Envisager leur architecture dans une perspective historique permet d'analyser les interactions passées et présentes entre architecture, organisation spatiale et projet pédagogique. Learning from architecture. Dans ces bâtiments où l'architecture s'enseigne et s'apprend, les multiples enjeux de la création architecturale se donnent à lire, à voir, à comprendre. Le fort investissement symbolique dont les écoles d'architecture font l'objet, tant de la part de l'Etat, initiateur de leur construction, que de leurs concepteurs et usagers, les hisse au rang de modèles ou de manifestes architecturaux. Leur histoire rejoint celle de l'architecture de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle. Plusieurs échelles d'analyse. Cet ouvrage permet d'envisager les écoles d'architecture selon une triple acception : Opérateur institutionnel et urbain : aborder les actions, publiques ou privées, en faveur de la construction des écoles, les enjeux liés à leur conception et à leur implantation en termes de rayonnement institutionnel, de développement territorial et de politique urbaine. Architecture modèle : questionner la valeur d'exemplarité et le caractère démonstratif d'édifices dont le programme est fortement renouvelé par la réforme de l'enseignement de l'architecture de 1968. Manifeste pédagogique : examiner les interactions entre architecture et pédagogie. Outre le fait que l'école puisse être le fruit de processus de conception participatifs, elle peut par sa disposition même inviter à une ouverture disciplinaire ou, par la présence d'espaces spécifiques, permettre de nouveaux types d'apprentissage.

[.en] Architectural models are used at various stages of a project. As working models they support the design process: they are made up from time to time using simple materials, such as cardboard, without any attempt at accuracy, and continue to be adjusted and added to as the ideas and the design progress. The point here is to swiftly check a design idea, to allow it to be continued or dismissed. Presentational models are more involved; at this stage the design has been completed and the purpose of the model is to convey the ideas to the potential user in a clear and easy-to-understand way. The book Architecture and Model Building includes outstanding examples explaining the possibilities of this medium and, at the same time, provides comprehensive information on materials and techniques.

A hitherto unusual conception of the building as a cybernetic architectural system forms the basis of this integrated design approach. The authors - architects and engineers with extensive design experience - contribute an overview of current technical components of automation and communication systems, as well as a summary of relevant laws, standards, and guidelines. Six example projects demonstrate completed applications at different scales, from a single-family residence to office buildings, and through to the Elbphilharmonie concert hall - amply illustrated in text, drawings, and photos.

An important prerequisite for their design in an increasingly heterogeneous multicultural urban landscape is the relationship between design, use, and social function. The book documents both temporary as well as permanent installations of various kinds – from the open-air courtyard of a museum to the design of a river bank promenade, through to a city park. The projects illustrated are located in the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, France, the Netherlands, the USA, Canada, and Australia. Contributions from internationally renowned experts discuss the various dimensions of the design of urban open spaces – from the planning stage to the design, implementation, and upkeep, taking into account functional requirements.

[.en] The design of a building is a complex process in which the architect develops spaces which are defined by a number of different parameters. The most important of these are space requirements, distances, furniture and fittings, and movement zones. From the dimensions of the human body it is possible to derive guide values for these reference sizes that make spaces comfortable to be in and to use. Spaces in Architecture is a useful reference work for students and designers for quickly looking up detailed information on space scenarios that occur in many different types of buildings. For example, the book lists all important dimensions for entrance areas, doors, staircases, ramps, and elevators. On the basis of this fundamental information it is possible to design buildings in terms of function and type.

[.en] Architecture and film have many things in common. Film narratives are embedded in scenes that visually support the story. Sometimes architecture even performs the role of an actor. Conversely, film with its multifaceted changing atmospheres reveals new layers of architecture which, outside the cinema, would remain concealed. In conclusion, film as a mass medium influences the way architecture is perceived, and its image in society. Since the beginning of cinema, architecture has formed a symbiosis with film. With its systematic analysis, this book offers a scientifically researched history of mutual influence, starting with filmography as a typology of well-known film sets through to the description of the chameleon effect between film and architecture.

Poon has designed hundreds of buildings across the United States and internationally, from eco-friendly homes to public schools, from intimate retail venues and restaurants to sports arenas, from university housing to retreats and places of worship. Sticks & Stones / Steel & Glass takes us inside a purposive yet open mind always hoping to "design it all," to weave together light and material, culture and commerce, music and design, a good meal and the joy of gathering to share it. In these pages we engage the creative processes of a thoughtful and intense architect whose works--public and private--all strive to enhance his clients' stories and identities. Poon's goal in each commission is to reward those who will enjoy and inhabit the structures he designs. In every building designed by Anthony Poon art is shelter and architecture is a social good.

[.en] The work of the Swedish architects Fredrik Kjellgren and Joakim Kaminsky represent sustainable solutions and innovative design at its best. Central to their many projects is the belief that they can contribute to solving the challenges we face from climate-threats, technological development and urbanisation. Building a better planet is no small ambition, yet Kjellgren and Kaminsky are at the same time practising architecture in a disarmingly casual and modest way, thus bringing together large-scale ambition with small-scale attention to detail. In this first monograph, Kjellgren Kaminsky summarize the first ten years of their partnership in the form of a selection of some of their most important projects, such as Oijared Hotel, Kollastaden School, Lecor HQ, Strandbaden Dancehall, the Vallastaden Plus Energy-Building, the Rosendal Apartment Building and the Neden area.

[.en] This weighty monograph is the culmination of the cooperation between architect Tadao Ando and Oris, a Croatian publishing house, who together have built a respectful relationship since a first interview about ten years ago, one that has led to the publication of many of his projects around the world. Now all of these projects and writings are brought together for the first time in this book, a portrait of uncompromising dedication to architecture and openness to cultural exchange. It is divided in four sections: architecture and nature, urban conditions, dwelling, and cross-cultural dialogues. The book includes an introduction by Juhani Pallasmaa and an interview with Ando.

Tadao Ando monograph is a publishing project made in close collaboration with Tadao Ando Architect and Associates, which presents the recent realizations of one of the greatest protagonists of Japanese and international architectural scene.
