Since 2015, Mexican architect Francisco Pardo has run his own practice in fast-growing and fast-changing Mexico City. His projects have reflected how Mexico is transforming the idea of the Latin American city: part ancient, part colonial, part futuristic. His Havre 69 project, created with his partner from architecture firm at103, Julio Amezcua, repurposes a 100-year-old residence for upper-middle-class families into offices, 12 separate residences, a bakery and a restaurant. On the one hand, Pardo exposes large sections of brick and maintains the original tile, while on the other, he builds modernist concrete and glass boxes that frame the original façade. Likewise, the architect's Milan44 project takes an autoparts store in a warehouse in the Roma neighborhood of Mexico City and creates a vertical urban market that brings the storefront street level onto each level of the structure. The architecture of Francisco Pardo reflects a fresh direction in the vast project of building Latin America into the future.

‘Modern Construction Case Studies’ focuses on the interface between the design of facades, structures and environments of 12 building projects, all developed by Newtecnic. The Author compares facade technologies, particularly in the way they interface with structure and MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing services) in complex projects, to provide insights into the design process for building envelopes. Each envelope technology is described with an emphasis on one of three aspects: geometry, construction and performance. The analysis links the 12 case studies by comparing their structural and environmental performance. The aim is achieved by analyzing typical bays which are representative of each project and which illustrate the implications of using different building envelope technologies.

Gutxi batzuk ikusgarriak dira; beste batzuk harri-meta bilakatu dira, eta beste asko zeharo desagertu, are "gaztelu" leku-izenik utzi gabe ere, baina Euskal Herrian Erdi Aroan bazeuden gazteluak. Lehen kronikari kristau (castellum) edo musulmanen (hisn) idatzietatik dakigunez, Erdi Aro osoan hemen izan dira, lurraldeak babesten edo beren herritarrak mendean hartzen -beraz, gure historian txertatzen-, eta artilleria garatu arte erabili dira. Ondoren, eraikin militarrak su armen aurka egokitu behar izan ziren, eta gaztelu-eredua desagertu zen. Tamalez, gutxi batzuek izan zuten mofua zutik jarraitzeko Erdi Arotik aurrera. Liburu hau Euskal Herriko gazteluen errolda orokorraren bigarren emaitza da, Arabakoaren ondoren, Bizkaiari dagokiona.

Liburu honetan, eta bildumako guztietan, hiru atal bereizi ditugu: lehenak frogatutako gazteluak jasotzen ditu (Bizkaian 20); bigarrenak, gaztelu gehiago aurkitzeko aukerak (aipuak, leku-izenak, leinuen gotorlekuak, lan arkeologikoen txostenak...), azkenik, izenen jatorria edo aipua argituta, gaztelu izateko aukerarik gabe geratu direnak ere badaude, eta horiek osatzen dute lanaren hirugarren atala. Gaztelu modura onartzeko ahalegin edo asmo horretan, arkitekturaren ikuspuntua hobetsi dugu, eta Euskaltzaindiaren hitzetara hurbildu gara eraikina zehaztearren, baina Erdi Arora mugaturik: "Harresiz, murru gotorrez, dorrez eta kidekoez babestu eta sendotutako eraikina edo eraikin-multzoa".

The Swiss canton of Grisons impresses with an overwhelming landscape and outstanding new architecture. The material concrete has a long tradition there in the deliberate confrontation with history, material, scale, and construction. It goes without saying that impressive buildings of innovative material aesthetics blend into the rugged rock formations of the surroundings. While the versatility of wood is evoked elsewhere today, the quality of concrete is revived here.The book provides a deep insight into the history, materiality and construction of this fascinating material in the Grisons tradition and makes you want to travel there to be inspired by the quality of the 20 project examples presented.

• Local identity through architecture
• Concrete as an identity-establishing material in the tradition of Grisons

Vector Architects, founded by Gong Dong (Beijing, 1972) has become one of the key architectural offices in China. Their work is distinguished by its careful attention to context, a deep respect for landscape and the natural environment, the contemporary reinterpretation of Chinese building traditions, and the conscientious use of natural light as a project tool. With these ingredients the studio envisions and designs intimate and emotional spaces, as those that can be found in the sixteen projects, all of them in China, featured in this monograph. The list includes works like the Alila Yangshuo Hotel, the Seashore Library and Chapel, the Captain’s House, and the Changjiang Art Museum.

It is not easy to name an architect who can invent as much, and as poetically and rigorously, as Kengo Kuma. This issue of AV Monographs takes stock of his firm’s extensive output of the past five years through 32 works and 8 projects, presenting them in five groups. From the New National Stadium of Japan which is nearing completion for the Olympic Games to the competition the studio won recently to extend the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, via works like the Victoria & Albert Museum in Scotland, the Cultural Village in the Portland Japanese Garden, the refurbishment of a traditional courtyard-house in Beijing or the Camper Store in Barcelona. This taxonomy gives a good idea of the scope of his ambition.

Sigfried Giedion (1888-1968) and Carola Giedion-Welcker (1893-1979) were among the most distinguished and influential scholars of art and architectural history during the 20th century's earlier dacades. Of particular impact was their role in connecting leading protagonists of modernism in architecture, art, and literature, such as Alvar Aalto, Hans Arp, Constantin Brancusi, Marcel Breuer, Max Ernst, Walter Gropius, Barbara Hepworth, Le Corbusier, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Piet Mondrian, or Sophie Taeuber-Arp. The discourses they initiated, for example on the New Vision in photography or a 'Synthesis of Arts', have lost nothing of their relevance and provide new starting points through to the present day. The estate of Sigfried and Carola Giedion-Welcker is today kept in Zurich at ETH Zurich's Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture, the Swiss Institute for Art Research, the University of Zurich's Institute of Romance Studies, and the James Joyce Foundation. It comprises some 16,000 letters, 10,000 photographic prints and negatives, a wealth of other papers, and a vast library. This new book offers a re-evaluation of Sigfried and Carola Giedion-Welcker's work, impact, and lasting significance. The editor and contributors were the first to draw fully on the estate, which has been opened entirely to researchers only recently. Featuring a vast number of previously unpublished documents and other images alongside excerpts from the extensive correspondence the two maintained with their artist friends and colleagues in academia, it provides a unique and manifold insight into the 'Giedion universe'.

Boris Iofan is best known as the architect behind the Palace of the Soviets. Yet his style was not limited to the ­Socialist ­Classicism that flourished under Stalin. Rather, Iofan’s archi­tectural language boldly evolved throughout his lifetime: from his eclectic beginnings in Rome, to the grandeur of the wedding-cake style in the 1930s, and finally, to his incorporation of concrete panels under the Khrushchev government. This book presents a collection of essays, photographs, floor plans, sketches, and drawings that chart the development of the archi­tect’s variegated career which spanned nearly six decades.

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) is undoubtedly one of the most significant and influential architects ever. To the present day, his designs and realised buildings, as well as his thinking and writings, continue to initiate many controversial debates on the achievements and failures of modern architecture. Yet not only architects and urban designers have been inspired or appalled by Mies. This new book demonstrates that his influence reaches far beyond the boundaries of professional architecture. ‘Almost Nothing’ collects work by 100 painters, sculptors, photographers, film directors, designers, cartoonists, and architects who comment on the buildings, designs, and statements by, or images of, the legendary architect. The works also form a 100-fold re-interpretation of Mies van der Rohe's life and oeuvre. New York-based architect and writer Christian Bjone in his accompanying text provides rich background information on the individual artists and the depicted art works. The book's title refers to a statement by Mies himself on one of his celebrated masterpieces, Crown Hall on IIT campus in Chicago, which ingeniously combines simplicity with complexity.

An insightful look at the dynamic relationship between modern art and modern urban life in 1920s Paris through the lens of Fernand Léger’s masterpiece ‘The City’. With his landmark 1919 painting ‘The City’, Fernand Léger (1881–1955) inaugurated a vitally experimental decade during which he and others redefined the practice of painting in confrontation with the forms of cultural production that were central to urban life, ranging from graphic and advertising design to theater, dance, film, and architecture. This catalogue casts new light on the painting (reproducing all of its studies together for the first time), the avant-garde use of print media, and Léger’s fascination with cinema and architecture, and contextualizes a network of international avant-gardes—including Blaise Cendrars, Le Corbusier, Jean Epstein, Piet Mondrian, Amédée Ozenfant, Francis Picabia, and Theo van Doesburg—in relation to Léger. Featuring nearly 250 images of paintings, architectural designs, models, posters, set designs, and film stills and an anthology of relevant historical texts not previously published in English, this handsome volume conveys the spirit of experimentation of the 1920s. Scholars in the fields of art, architecture, and film history offer a deeper understanding of the relationship between art and the modern urban experience that defined this significant chapter in the history of modern art.

This catalogue is published on the occasion of the 19th Serpentine Pavilion designed by Junya Ishigami. The publication presents an overview of Ishigami’s past projects, together with an extensive documentation of sketches and research material for the Serpentine Pavilion. Isabelle Gaudefroy, Director of Programing at Fondation Cartier, introduces Ishigami’s projects from the past decades and makes connections between his past projects and the design for the Serpentine Pavilion. Beatrice Galilee has written about Ishigami’s key concepts and ideas that he has been exploring in his practice. An interview between Hans Ulrich Obrist and Junya Ishigami offers the unfiltered voice of the architect, in which he talks about past and future projects as well as architecture in general.

Ishigami’s design for the Serpentine Pavilion 2019 takes inspiration from roofs, the most common architectural feature used around the world.The design of pavilion is made by arranging slates to create a single canopy roof that appears to emerge from the ground of the surrounding park.Within, the interior of the Pavilion is an enclosed cave-like space, a refuge for contemplation. For Ishigami, the Pavilion articulates his ‘free space’ philosophy in which he seeks harmony between man-made structures and those that already exist in nature.

[.de] Donald Judd (1928 – 1994), eine der prägendsten Figuren der westlichen Nachkriegskunst, hatte eine enge Verbindung zur Schweiz: Von Beginn der 1970er Jahre bis zu seinem Tod realisierte der amerikanische Künstler bedeutende Ausstellungen in der Schweiz und schuf am Vierwaldstättersee ein außergewöhnliches architektonisches Werk. Darüber hinaus entstanden in Kooperation mit Schweizer Industriebetrieben zahlreiche Arbeiten, allen voran die »Menziken pieces«. Der vorliegende Band beleuchtet die Zusammenarbeit des Künstlers mit der Alu Menziken AG sowie anderen Schweizer Unternehmen und nähert sich dem Zusammenhang von Person, Werk und Land, ergänzt durch eine Betrachtung der heutigen Relevanz des Künstlers. Zu Wort kommen Zeitgenossen Judds, die sein Werk persönlich und professionell begleiteten; zahlreiche Fotos bieten einen erweiterten Überblick über Judds »Schweizer Jahre«.

[.en] Donald Judd (1928-94) was closely connected to Switzerland. From the early 1970s until his death, the American artist produced significant exhibitions there; more importantly, though his residences in Marfa and New York are legendary, less well-known is the hotel at Eichholteren which Judd transformed into an extraordinary residence on the banks of Lake Lucerne that tests the tensions and affinities between Swiss architecture and Judd's doctrines. Judd also collaborated with Swiss industrial firms to produce numerous artworks and design pieces, notably the Menziken Pieces. This new volume sheds light on the artist's collaborations with Swiss manufacturing firm Alu Menziken AG, and other Swiss companies. Donald Judd & Switzerland also examines the artist's continuing influence in Swiss art and design. In addition, Judd's contemporaries in Switzerland offer an expanded picture of Judd's Swiss years.

L'architettura in Italia tra le due guerre, suddivisa in due sezioni cronologiche corrispondenti ai decenni 1920-30 e 1930-40. Una serie di saggi e un ampio apparato illustrativo caratterizzano questo volume, concepito in occasione della mostra “Il razionalismo e l’architettura in Italia durante il Fascismo” allestita alla Biennale di Venezia del 1976. L’argomento è l’architettura in Italia tra le due guerre, suddiviso in due sezioni cronologiche corrispondenti ai decenni 1920-30 e 1930-40. Nella prima è analizzata – considerando tre aree culturali “campione”, Milano, Torino e Roma – la presenza di una cultura di ambito “cittadino” parallelamente al diffondersi del linguaggio “razionalista”. La seconda ha invece una scansione per temi – l’abitazione, i grandi concorsi nazionali, i centri storici, gli edifici pubblici per il regime, la Roma “imperiale” e, infine, il territorio e le città di fondazione – che vuole evidenziare la funzione totalizzante della cultura fascista nelle sue applicazioni pratiche, in quanto committente delle opere più importanti che dovevano essere ideologicamente rappresentative.

Il libro è dedicato all'opera architettonica di Luigi Snozzi, architetto svizzero dal linguaggio colto ed essenziale. Il linguaggio di Snozzi è quello asciutto e colto dell’architettura ticinese. Nato a Mendrisio nel 1932, rifiuta qualsiasi eccesso retorico in nome dell’essenzialità. Le sue prime costruzioni, risalenti agli anni Sessanta, sono definite “neorealiste” da Kenneth Frampton, autore in questo volume del saggio che ripercorre le tappe principali della sua carriera. Segue lo scritto di Vittorio Gregotti “Sulle tracce dell’architettura”, in cui il radicalismo di Snozzi viene messo a confronto con il rifiuto di ogni “illusionismo stilistico-conciliativo” catteristico del metodo di Alvaro Siza. Infine il catalogo delle opere dal 1957 al 1984, la cui suddivisione è scandita da brevi frasi dello stesso Snozzi; emergono con chiarezza l’attenta analisi dei fenomeni urbani e paesaggistici, nonché il rapporto dialettico con Kahn e con le più importanti esperienze coeve dell’architettura internazionale: “Il progetto, prima che strumento di trasformazione, è strumento di conoscenza”.
