[.en] The buildings of the past were constructed with readily available and local materials, such as stone, wood, or handmade bricks. Architects in the modern era, however, can choose from an ever increasing number of new materials, each one allowing for different advances in design. And yet the traditional materials have never been entirely supplanted; they still form an important part of the architectural range and are still used by architects the world over. The humble brick, for example, has remained a constant throughout the history of architecture, as has timber with its flexibility and warm tones. But today such elements can be used in conjunction with newer materials to highlight their natural beauty in many different ways: creating a stunning metal facade, wrapping a building with a cool, sleek stone finish, designing a wall with an eye-catching interesting texture, or adding depth or warmth to an internal design. Traditional metals are also finding new use, being employed to coat a structure in a light metal skin that reflects the sunlight, or embedded onto a building to add interest and texture. This book journeys through a curated selection of stunning examples from across the world, showcasing how each material is creatively used over a diverse range of building types and styles, and illustrating the myriad possibilities and forms available to the modern architect who chooses to rework these age-old materials into a brand-new decorative yet functional form.

[.en] Interweaving architecture, philosophy and cultural history, Materials and Meaning in Architecture develops a rich and multi-dimensional exploration of materials and materiality, in an age when architectural practice seems otherwise preoccupied with image and visual representation.

Arguing that architecture is primarily experienced by the whole body, rather than chiefly with the eyes, this broad-ranging study shows how the most engaging built works are as tactile as they are sensuous, communicating directly with the bodily senses, especially touch. It explores the theme of 'material imagination' and the power of establishing 'place identity' in an architect's work, to consider the enduring expressive possibilities of material use in architecture.

The book's chapters can be dipped into, each individual chapter providing close readings of built works by selected modern masters (Scarpa, Zumthor, Williams and Tsien), insights into key texts and theories (Ruskin, Loos, Bachelard), or short cultural histories of materials (wood, brick, concrete, steel, and glass). And yet, taken together, the chapters build to a powerful book-length argument about how meaning accrues to materials through time, and about the need to reinsert the bodily experience of materiality into architectural design. It is thus also, in part, a manifesto: arguing for architecture to act as a bulwark against the tide of an increasingly depersonalised built environment.

With insights for a wide range of readers, ranging from students through to researchers and professional designers, Materials and Meaning in Architecture will cause theorists to rethink their assumptions and designers to see new potential for their projects.

[.en] ‘Architecture through Drawing’ examines how drawing – as both action and object – encapsulates complex ideas relating to culture, technology, space and the built environment. Bringing together an array of beautiful and rarely seen drawings dating from the sixteenth century to the present day, all representing different geographical locations, techniques, methodologies and purposes, the book defines a new field for the subject of the drawing in architecture. It reveals the motives for architectural drawing beyond the requirement to document the processes that underpin the realisation of the architectural object. This book asks, fundamentally, whether drawings can illuminate new interpretations of architectural experimentation. Examples range from initial sketches by architects to analytical and construction drawings, perspectives and schematics, collage and more complex presentations and paintings often carried out in association with others.

Dialogues include Fabrizio Ballabio on Filippo Juvarra’s Ottoboni Theatre; Desley Luscombe on Ludwig Mies van der Rohe; Mark Dorrian on Michael Webb; Nicholas Olsberg on Victorian architects William Butterfield, Norman Shaw and GE Street; Charles Rice on James Gowan; Laurent Stalder on perspective in postwar housing; Helen Thomas on the covers of San Rocco; John Macarthur on clouds; Markus Lähteenmaäki on Superstudio; and Erik Wegerhoff on the Viennese Auto-Expander. The volume is rounded off with an epilogue, ‘The Limits of Drawing’, by Adrian Forty and Sophie Read.

[.en] This book presents a curated selection of Balkrishna Doshi’s exceptional writings since the 1950s, with some published here for the first time. The collection of 15 lectures, articles and essays is richly illustrated with more than 50 of Doshi’s personal hand-drawn sketches. Balkrishna Doshi (born 1927 in Pune, India) played a pivotal role in shaping of postcolonial architecture in India. He is a pioneer in addressing crucial issues of social housing and urbanization in India. Doshi influenced the development of Indian architecture significantly through his teaching and lecturing activities and played a major role in the development of Ahmedabad into a center of Indian architectural education. This anthology assembles a selection of his writings, such as lectures, articles and essays. Doshi, who worked for Le Corbusier in Paris for six years in the 1950s, has also always sought contacts with Western architects, for example by promoting the work of Louis Kahn in India. Doshi is a practitioner of architecture for over 70 years, has received numerous awards and he has been awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2018.

[.en] As people make considered choices about their own lives and deaths, cremation has become an increasingly popular option in Europe, representing a recent but accelerating change in funerary practices. What do these spaces actually look like? What role does architecture play in these rituals? Considering precisely these questions, the authors of ‘Goodbye Architecture’ embarked on a unique tour of European architecture. For the first time, the spaces and practices of cremation―the sites of some of our deepest desires and fears about life and death―receive serious architectural consideration. A wide range of facilities are documented in this volume with extensive illustrations and analyses, providing a glimpse of an essential architecture often hidden in plain sight.

[.en] ‘Arkís Architects’ is an Icelandic architecture studio based in Reykjavík. Their Nordic humanist architecture is characterized by local conditions and international influences, and their focus is on creating sustainable design firmly rooted in the Icelandic tradition and landscape. Founded in 1997, the studio is one of the largest architecture firms in Iceland, and has created significant works both in Iceland and abroad. Arkís strives to create architecture that stems from and resonates with the magnificent Icelandic landscape. This means that their buildings help tying things together, rather than stand out as individual objects. In Arkís buildings, there is thus a clear link with Nordic tradition in terms of them being determined by a combination of context and function. They base their work on the affordances of the sites and design their buildings in accordance with the brief.

This book presents a selection of their most important projects, such as Reykjavík University, Apotek Hotel, and Snæfellsstofa Visitor Centre. It also includes texts by Sigríður Magnúsdóttir, Atli Magnus Seelow and Livio Dimitriu, as well as an interview with representatives of the studio by the editor Tomas Lauri.

[.en] Physical models have been, and continue to be used by engineers when faced with unprecedented challenges, when engineering science has been non-existent or inadequate, and in any other situation when the engineer has needed to raise their confidence in a design proposal to a sufficient level to begin construction. For this reason, models have mostly been used by designers and constructors of highly innovative projects, when previous experience has not been available. The book covers the history of using of physical models in the design and development of civil and building engineering projects including bridges in the mid-18th century, William Fairbairn?s Britannia bridge in the 1840s, the masonry Aswan Dam in the 1890s, concrete dams in the 1920s, thin concrete shell roofs and the dynamic behaviour of tall buildings in earthquakes from the 1930s, tidal flow in estuaries and the acoustics of concert halls from the 1950s, and cable-net and membrane structures in the 1960s. Traditionally, progress in engineering has been attributed to the creation and use of engineering science, the understanding materials properties and the development of new construction methods. The book argues that the use of reduced scale models have played an equally important part in the development of civil and building engineering. However, like the history of engineering design itself, this crucial contribution has not been widely reported or celebrated. The book concludes with reviews of the current use of physical models alongside computer models, for example, in boundary layer wind tunnels, room acoustics, seismic engineering, hydrology, and air flow in buildings.

[.es] Los edificios híbridos son artefactos urbanos que se caracterizan por la combinación de usos y por tener una vida peligrosa, llena de obstáculos y contratiempos. Aquellos que logran ser construidos y resistir son verdaderos supervivientes de una especie rara y vigorosa que crece en lugares de oportunidad, abriéndose paso entre las malas hierbas de la especulación. En este Catálogo sobre el arte de mezclar usos a+t research group rescata ’50 edificios híbridos’, diseñados entre finales del siglo XIX y comienzos del XXI. Cada uno de ellos está analizado en sección, con sus funciones a la vista, y cuenta una historia estimulante. 50 HYBRID BUILDINGS es una obra destinada a estudiantes, profesores y arquitectos que combina historia, diseño y representación gráfica y desmonta prejuicios tipológicos y programáticos.

[.en] 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.

La colonización urbana de un territorio complejo", que defendió y acreditó en la Universidad de Navarra, bajo la dirección del profesor José María Ordeig.

En su tesis, Jesús Ramón Tejada nos hace partícipes de una pregunta nada baladí: hasta qué punto han sido los paradigmas urbanísticos o los condicionantes geográficos y topográficos los que han tenido más incidencia en la forma de crecimiento urbano en los diferentes casos de la expansión urbana de San Sebastián. La respuesta la podemos ir descubriendo a lo largo de las páginas de esta publicación que profundiza en la expansión de la ciudad de San Sebastián a lo largo de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, analizando los sucesivos desarrollos urbanos, el ensanche de Amara; la extensión hacia el este, en Bidebieta y Altza; el modelo urbano en la zona del Antiguo, en Lorea; la colonización de las partes altas de la ciudad, en Ayete. Y ya en momentos más recientes, la ocupación hacia el oeste de las colinas de Berio; de la zona de lbaeta, Errotaburu, la extensión del barrio del Antiguo y hacia el sur, la ocupación de las marismas de Riberas de Loyola.

Esta expansión viene marcada por dos planes urbanísticos, el de 1962 y el de 1995, de los que habla en detalle para continuar profundizando, en su análisis de la evolución urbanística de la capital de Gipuzkoa, en el diálogo entre la ciudad y el territorio, en la dualidad de influencias. ¿Quién ha influido en quién?

Marisol Garmendia: “Es un trabajo muy interesante tanto para el urbanista porque le muestra cómo San Sebastián ha sabido adaptarse y ocupar de una manera correcta una orografía compleja, como para la ciudadanía a la que ofrece una historia de su ciudad”.

Mañana martes, 30 de octubre, la Diputada de Movilidad y Ordenación del Territorio, la socialista Marisol Garmendia presentará el libro “El desarrollo urbanístico de Donostia-San Sebastián. La colonización urbana de un territorio complejo” junto con su autor Jesús Ramón Tejada Villaverde, Doctor en arquitectura por la UNAV.

La apuesta del departamento de Movilidad y Ordenación del Territorio en esta legislatura por dar a conocer y compartir con la ciudadanía guipuzcoana trabajos académicos, tesis doctorales, reflexiones y estudios de profesionales de prestigio en torno al urbanismo y el planeamiento de Gipuzkoa, sigue dando frutos editoriales interesantes y atractivos como el que se presentará mañana.

Se trata de la tesis doctoral del arquitecto donostiarra Jesús Ramón Tejada que defendió y acreditó en la Universidad de Navarra, bajo la dirección del profesor José María Ordeig.

“Un trabajo éste de Jesús Tejada, doblemente interesante. Al estudioso y al urbanista le muestra cómo San Sebastián ha sabido adaptarse y ocupar de una manera correcta una orografía compleja, como el mismo título del libro refleja. Y al donostiarra que se acerque con curiosidad ciudadana, le ofrece una historia de su ciudad a lo largo del siglo pasado, pues la historia urbana de una ciudad es fuente y reflejo, al mismo tiempo, de la historia de sus gentes. Le muestra, en definitiva, de qué manera una ciudad es capaz de mantener una idiosincrasia, sin ser una foto fija en la que recrearse melancólicamente, sin cambios ni evolución”, ha afirmado la Diputada de Ordenación del Territorio, Marisol Garmendia.

El libro es fruto de la pasión de un arquitecto por su ciudad. Para el autor hay un elemento configurador del alma donostiarra, que deviene de la arquitectura y del urbanismo donostiarra, que ha sabido conjugar geografía, naturaleza y arquitectura para hacer de San Sebastián una ciudad singular, capaz de hacer que las y los donostiarras se reconozcan en su ciudad, en sus calles, en sus avenidas, en sus espacios públicos y en sus playas y montes, en su urbanismo y en su naturaleza.

[.es] Hay varios factores que intervienen en la planificación y construcción de una casa orgánica: en primer lugar, un propietario visionario que desee crear un lugar especial para vivir para él y su familia. En segundo lugar, un arquitecto visionario, que logre desarrollar soluciones que cumplan los deseos y demandas del cliente, pero que también tenga en cuenta las condiciones climáticas y topográficas. Una cooperación productiva entre el arquitecto y el cliente, desde la planta hasta la división de las distintas habitaciones y el diseño de las zonas exteriores. Esto se complementa con aspectos de sostenibilidad en cuanto a la generación, almacenamiento y consumo de energía, así como el uso de materiales de construcción naturales. Las proporciones de los espacios individuales, y el diseño interior son decisivos para conseguir una sensación de bienestar. Los treinta y ocho arquitectos que figuran en este libro son un ejemplo de las elevadas exigencias que se plantean frente a la construcción de edificios residenciales privados y, con más de 100 proyectos, estos arquitectos nos presentan un amplio espectro de su trabajo con mucho espacio para la inspiración.

[.en] Designing a childcare facility, whether it is a créche, kindergarten, or preschool, involves many challenges. The architect must focus on the needs of the users, who include both the children and the adult carers, while complying with a large number of rules and regulations, which are made all the more complex by the fact that they rarely reference buildings for children explicitly. But above all, the architect must create structures that optimally meet the contem­porary pedagogical and architectural requirements of an institution dedicated to children. This is the first manual specially dedicated to the long-neglected kindergarten building typology. It presents 60 contemporary childcare buildings from across the world in detail, with large photos, plans, and drawings, providing deep insights into what is an exceedingly complicated design task. Moreover, the book outlines ten design parameters that architects can turn to for guidance. Finally, specialist articles by ­experts delve deeper into the practical consider­ations that are required to successfully plan, design, and operate a childcare facility.

[.en] This book proposes alternative interpretations of broadly-debated concepts within architectural modernity. Bringing into view the work of lesser-known architects from across the globe, alongside previously unexplored aspects of mainstream masters of the Modern, ‘Rethinking Modernity’ puts forward a compelling case for the range and diversity of architectural projects encompassed by this term. Exploring themes such as the use of colour, materials, ornament, local traditions and identities, ‘Rethinking Modernity’ challenges readers to build a better understanding of a crucial moment in architectural history, and of design trends shaping the present-day production of the built environment. Complementing the RIBA Publishing titles Redefining Brutalism and Revisiting Postmodernism, this book sits within a series of books aiming to explore new interpretations of well-loved architectural movements, richly illustrated with rarely-seen archive photography and lesser-known projects.

[.en] The pioneering British modernist architect Richard Seifert was one of the most successful and influential architects of his generation. During the 1960s and '70s he changed the face and fabric of London with a powerful series of highly visible and uncompromising brutalist buildings, including - most famously - Centre Point, the Nat West Tower and King's Reach Tower. Seifert is often described as a modernist version of Christopher Wren in terms of his impact upon the capital, building hundreds of towers, office buildings and hotels in London but also working in other parts of the UK and internationally. An enigmatic and determined figure, Seifert achieved much in his lifetime yet has remained a controversial and divisive figure due to his unwavering commitment to modernism. Both Seifert and his buildings have been attacked, with his work described as 'notorious' for its brutalist aesthetic and an arguable lack of contextuality. Yet in recent years there has been a noticeable upsurge of interest in brutalist architecture in general along with the beginnings of a re-evaluation of Seifert's extraordinary contribution to mid-century architecture and design: a number of buildings by Seifert and his associates have been listed in recognition of their architectural importance. Beautifully illustrated, this book records, analyses and celebrates a considered selection of Seifert's buildings, including Centre Point, the Nat West and King's Reach Towers, Space House, the Euston Station Buildings, the Park Lane Tower Hotel, Drapers Gardens, the International Press Centre, all in London, Wembley Conference Centre and Sussex Heights in Brighton, within the most extensive survey of his work to date.

A new ReCitying Topos on, inside, in, where and through which to develop new/old programs, uses and activities of life and relationship.The singularity of Seoul is the capacity for the city to combine and manage all the new global urban paradigmatic challenges. Seoul new qualitative development responds does not intend to "continue" or "recreate" the traditional city. Nor impose or positionate, transforming it, built machines or objects but superimpose a new dense floor (container and articulator at the same time) in the old obsolete infrastructures, that becomes a new Re-Citying. The old infrastructures are revealed as the ideal spaces to support these new floors, real and virtual at time.

[.en] To be published on the occasion of the 80th birthday of Vittorio Gregotti, founder and principal of the world-renowned Gregotti Associati. Gregotti reigned as editor of Casabella, Italys leading interior design and architecture magazine, for fourteen years. This book is a survey of his career and highlights his most important projects in architecture, urban design, and graphic design. However, the designs that take the spotlight are the ones Gregotti has conceived in China. In Pujiang (near Shanghai), he created the master plan for a new town inspired by the classical beauty of Italy. Pujiang brings pure Italian style to the heart of a new China: villas with a terrace or garden, classic Italian construction materials (such as white granite and red Venetian stucco), piazzas, hotels, shopping arcades, hanging gardens, and even navigable canals. This "Venice of the Orient" is the crowning achievement of a breathtaking career.

This volume, thoroughly illustrated with drawings and photographs, profiles a selection of works and projects developed between 2008 and 2013 by Vittorio Gregotti, one of the world's leading architects and designer, and his studio. The projects are collected and grouped into three main geographical areas - Northern Africa, China, and Europe - and are analysed and described in detail in terms of being part of an overarching conception of landscape or urban architecture. Plans for new cities in Algeria, Egypt and China and the occasions for changing European contexts are described in projects for public buildings in urban and territorial scale. Critical texts of presentation of geographic areas and a detailed illustrated register summarize the entire course of study through 60 years of activity.
