After the reform and opening up, the Chinese people began to have contact with interior design from other countries. Until today Chinese designers are still heavily influenced by the design trends from abroad, yet there are significant changes in the industry in China. As traditional art forms and culture connotation are introduced into interior designs, we witnessed in this book the emergence of projects with a Chinese background and strong foreign characteristics, the projects of true originality and innovation, as well as those promoting traditional culture and technological innovation as the same time. This book shows the higher levels of the interior design of Chinese restaurants and presents advanced design concepts, project analysis and projects demonstration via the five chapters of Innovation of Tradition, Cultural Heritage, Localization of Foreign Cultures, Infinite Creativity and New Application of Technology.

The void and limits have always been central themes in Peter Markli's teaching as professor for architecture and construction at ETH Zurich. The design tasks he has developed encourage students to formulate a notion of life depicted in architectural structures. The articulation of the void, the external space, plays a role that is as essential as the expression of the facade, the design of the limit separating outside and inside. With this publication and an exhibition, the architecture department says farewell to Peter Markli, who will be ending his teaching at ETH in 2015. A selection of around 110 student projects created during his professorship, documents from his teaching, and a conversation illustrate some of Markli's interests and views.

Like a dancing cube shimmering in titanium, the new State Gallery of Lower Austria is placed between the picturesque inner cities of Krems and Stein, and links these with the surrounding natural and river landscape. The spherical curvature and the strongly outward-projecting external walls presented a challenge: titanium shingles and glass panes were individually produced, having been calculated in 3D. Inside, light-flooded areas alternate with daylight-free levels that can be used as required. The project is a strong illustration of the capabilities of the Vorarlberg architectural practice of Marte.Marte. The book documents these ‘Figura Serpentina’ in numbers, data, and facts - supplemented by statements, drawings for publication, and generous picture galleries, in this way conveying a comprehensive understanding of the new State Gallery.

This issue of 2G is dedicated to the work of the French architecture studio Muoto. Studio Muoto´s activities cover the fields of architecture, urbanism, design and scientific research. Muoto means 'form' in Finnish. Muoto's work often features minimal structures made of rough materials, as a means to combine different activities, and merge economical as well as aesthetic issues. Vertical diversity as an articulation between building and city scales is a recurrent figure in Muoto's projects. The office has been rewarded by several prizes, such as Holcim Awards 2014, Equerre d'Argent 2016, and Bauwelt 2017.

The first time Junya Ishigami made himself known in Europe, with his proposal for the Japan Pavilion for the Venice Architecture Biennale 2008, he was a young an almost unknown architect who had worked for several years with Kazuo Sejima and had not long with his studio junya.ishigami +associates, founded in 2004. In the Venice pavilion, Ishigami filled all the interior walls of the pavilion with delicate a somehow naïf drawings of gardens and decided to build several greenhouses with real gardens in the outdoor gardens of the building. The following year, he finished the Kanagawa Institute of Technology Workshop, and with only two works he was acclaimed as one of the most innovative proposals of the recent Japanese architecture. Forcing the limits of transparency and lightness in the beginning, his latest works explore in a conceptual way the relationships between the built matter and the nature, in works such as the Botanical Farm Garden in Tochigi, a multi confessional chapel in China or the house and restaurant for a chef in Japan, where the exploration of the tectonic merges with the telluric and the nature.

Why are architecture prizes like the «best architects» Award, today one of the most prestigious in Europe, so important? The answer is as simple as it is obvious: «They give the profession an opportunity to form a picture of what’s happening at the moment,» says Jonathan Sergison of Sergison Bates architects from London/Zurich, a member of this year’s «best architects» jury. And the documentation of the award plays a key role in this respect.

Among publications accompanying awards, «best architects 19» stands out once again in terms of both content and design. As in previous years, the thorough documentation of the award-winners is already impressive in terms of size alone. The book presents this year’s «best architects» on a total of 400 pages. Of the many projects submitted, 70 were honoured with the label «best architects 19» and 12 were distinguished for particularly outstanding quality with the award «best architects 19 in Gold». Each winning project is illustrated and described in detail on two double-page spreads.

A decade of work by Bernardo Bader is covered in this instalment. In that time, the Austrian architect has steadily built a reputation for his modern take on regional styles. Both the exteriors and interiors of his designs are often clad in wood, with structures framed by clean lines and set in alpine terrains, radiating warmth and comfort. Bader’s outspoken perspective on critical regionalism in architecture has drawn international praise, and he prefers to use locally sourced timber in his work. Presented here are more than fifteen projects, many of them houses, but also kindergartens, an alpine sports centre, an Islamic cemetery, a railway station, a chapel, a hotel, and more.

In our expectations, concrete is always rough and grey. Therefore, how to increase its public acceptance is architects' great consideration. Many architects have tried actively; some mix concrete and other materials in a proper proportion―clean concrete surface combined with carefully manufactured wood or metal makes it easier to be acceptable. The perfection and abstraction of concrete are also more influential to those who are familiar to contemporary art trends. ‘Architectural Material & Detail Structure: Concrete’ examines the proper use of concrete as an architectural and design tool.

Salvatore Settis accompagna il lettore alla scoperta delle splendide pitture di giardino della villa appartenuta a Livia, consorte di Augusto, alle porte di Roma, staccate negli anni '50 per ragioni conservative e ricomposte all'interno del Museo Nazionale Romano in Palazzo Massimo alle Terme. L'autore spiega con chiarezza le ragioni architettoniche e formali dei dipinti, lo spazio dell'incanto, che neppure agli angoli si interrompe, in rapporto alla posizione dell'osservatore e con un'attenta scalatura della resa di dettaglio: la rappresentazione delle piante in primo piano è infatti tanto minuta da consentire una precisa indagine botanica e ornitologica mentre diventa via via più sfumata e indistinta verso lo sfondo vago e mosso.

Giuseppe Tombola (1909-1990) fu membro del M.I.A.R., il Movimento Italiano per l'Architettura Razionale, e protagonista delle iniziative del raggruppamento veneto del movimento futurista. Di questo architetto si presenta un profilo dell'attività progettuale svolta fino al periodo della ricostruzione postbellica, una sintesi delineata cercando di distinguere nella monumentalità aspra e scarna di molte sue opere le tracce del futurismo ascetico al quale sono improntati i suoi primi progetti. Si è inteso, tra l'altro, ricostruire il quadro delle relazioni intessute da Tombola nei primi anni Trenta con professionisti e intellettuali. Tra questi in ambito veneto Mansutti, Miozzo, De Giorgio, Gallimberti, Guiotto, Salce, Calabi, Vallot. In un più ampio contesto Ponti, Pagano, Merlo, Tedesco Rocca, Aloisio.

[.es] La educación del arquitecto cabalga entre artes, ciencias y políticas, lo cual, hace difícil su evaluación, tanto en el tiempo presente como en el pasado. El mejor camino en la actualidad para evaluar la educación superior y la investigación en arquitectura pasa por encontrar criterios capaces de definir una capacidad de síntesis que pueda evaluar la calidad, tanto de los proyectos de arquitectura y urbanismo, como los edificios y la calidad de uso que ofrecen. Estos criterios hacen de puente entre las habilidades artísticas, las científicas y las ético-políticas de los profesionales de la profesión. Por lo tanto, obligan a una evaluación de carácter interdisciplinar, que, desafortunadamente, no muy presente en las escuelas superiores de arquitectura. Las diferentes comunicaciones que proponemos intentarán describir estos criterios con la máxima precisión posible.

En este volumen 30 de la revista Arquitectonics hay una serie de artículos relacionados con el análisis de los lugares y espacios públicos de diferentes países, un tema de investigación muy importante en los últimos años, tal vez relacionado con la fuerte crisis financiera en todo el mundo vinculada a la vivienda. El principal y primer trabajo de éste volumen está dirigido por el profesor Rainer Zimmermann de Munich, matemático y filósofo, que inaugura un nuevo y fuerte punto de vista sobre las meta-teorías de las actividades del diseño arquitectónico y urbano. Relacionando cognición, interacción social y diseño arquitectónico, este trabajo es un estudio teórico muy importante que puede impactar en casi todas las tesis sobre arquitectura y planeamiento urbano. Los tres libros monumentales sobre los fundamentos de los sistemas de este autor, en proceso, marcarán un antes y un después en las teorías y prácticas arquitectónicas.
