Publisher Shinkenchiku-sha
Idea code 19204
€ 23.90
The magazine’s first monograph dedicated to the Ghent-based practice headed by Ralf Coussée and Klaas Goris. The duo established their office two decades ago, but have been collaborating for over 30 years. Keen on the open exchange of ideas, their work together has seen a constant evolution, with designs that express a close attention to materials and details in terms of both the building and place. The issue features sixteen projects, from a riding centre for youth and a crematorium, to repurposed industrial sites and private homes. Marc Dubois gives a concise overview of the architectural landscape in Belgium and the role the two architects have played in its development.

A.MAG 15: Fran Silvestre Arquitectos
Isbn 9789895409877
Publisher Amag Publisher
Idea code 19150
€ 42.90
Based in Valencia, Fran Silvestre Arquitectos reflects an architecture of rigour based on the systematic use of sharp geometric forms and the language of whiteness. The way the houses relate to the surrounding landscapes, the fluid organisation of their interiors, and how large glazed surfaces open to the outside might recall the California modernism that emerged in the 1950s. Yet they address a whole range of other concerns, from climatic transformations to the experimentations made possible through the use of new technologies. This volume features fourteen realised works along with newly planned projects, such as a landmark wind tower situated in Valencia’s port.

Architecture - Relations
Isbn 9788792700254
Publisher The Architectural Publisher B
Idea code 19246
€ 33.00
'architecture · relations' presents new realized projects from architectural offices in Switzerland, England, and Denmark. The works are presented with the wish to take a look at an inspiring architecture movement that is seen in all three countries, particularly in England and Switzerland. Architects and teachers support a direction in which architecture is based on context and analysis and in extracting values of cultural, artistic and architectural material. The architects behind the works show the common feature that they oppose the spectacular and conceptual, instead developing the basic, often historical architectural principles for strong encounters with the surroundings.

Swim City
Isbn 9783856168896
Publisher Christoph Merian
Idea code 19268
€ 40.85
Urban swimming is more popular than ever. When it comes to swimming in rivers, Swiss cities are international trailblazers. Moreover, in places like London, New York, Paris, and Berlin, increasing numbers of people are seeking access to the rivers, harbours, and canals in the built environment. Rivers and their banks are gradually being seen as natural public resources, a place of leisure that is both convenient and firmly anchored in everyday life. Together with an exhibition at the Swiss Architecture Museum, this book documents this recent phenomenon, exploring how cities can reclaim their waters as a spatial resource and sustainably improve the quality of urban life.

Trading Between Architecture and Art: Strategies and Practices of Exchange
Isbn 9789492095671
Publisher Valiz
Idea code 19245
€ 25.00
Since the 1960s, art and architecture have experienced a series of radical and reciprocal trades. Just as artists have simulated “architectural” means like plans and models, built structures and pavilions, or intervened in urban and public spaces, architects have employed “artistic” strategies in art institutions, exhibitions, and more. Likewise, art galleries and museums have combined both activities, playing with the conditional differences between inside and outside the institutions. This book focuses on specific case studies of these two-way, interdisciplinary transactions. Included are texts and visual essays by Mark Dorrian, Rosemary Willink, Sarah Oppenheimer, and many others.

Kazuo Shinohara - View From This Side
Isbn 9783906213286
Publisher Rollo Press
Idea code 19241
€ 19.50
Kazuo Shinohara passed away in 2006, leaving behind a vast legacy of works and influence. This book offers a selection from his rarely seen colour slides, which were made during his travels. The pictures are for the most part rapidly composed and casually shot, and were mainly taken in cities. Featured are snapshots from his five significant overseas journeys, which he embarked on between 1972 and 1985. From street scenes and impressions of townscapes, to the occasional monumental building or open space, the images were captured on 35 mm film for the purpose of recording details, unusual perspectives, and mere oddities. It is the travel diary of a seasoned architect.

Oase 103 Critical Regionalism Revisited Kenneth Frampton Special

Publisher Nai010 Publishers
Idea code 19232
€ 22.30
The English architect, historian, critic, and educator Kenneth Frampton received the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the latest Venice Biennale 2018. There is no architecture student that is not familiar with his book 'Modern Architecture: A Critical History' (1980). This issue of OASE examines the canonical role of Kenneth Frampton’s concept of ‘Critical Regionalism’, reaching beyond its traditional interpretation. It gathers contributions that propose a new genealogy of the text, critical re-readings and explorations by practicing architects and architecture theorists that evaluate the interest of Frampton’s ideas for contemporary architecture.

Lisbon Architectural Map 1948 - 2019

Publisher A+A Books
Idea code 19217
€ 11.60
This city map is based on the previously published ‘Lisbon Architectural Guide 1948–2013’ but includes much less information, which is appropriate to its format. Since 2013, the city has experienced significant changes as the efforts of the 2008 economic crisis dwindled, tourism soared, and affluent new foreign residents began to arrive, seeking to settle in the central or scenic areas. Private and public developments increased the number of cultural facilities and interventions in public spaces, and rehabilitation of historic buildings took place. The timeline for this map begins with the emergence of the modern movement and culminates in today’s new urban landmarks.

Residential Masterpieces 28: Oscar Niemeyer Casa Das Canoas / Casa Canavelas
Isbn 9784871405614
Publisher Ada Edita
Idea code 19212
€ 29.45
This edition highlights two houses by Oscar Niemeyer, the Brazilian modernist architect. Known as Casa das Canoas and Casa Cavanelas, both residences are located in Rio de Janeiro and both were built in the early 1950s. Yet, according to the essay by Yoshio Futagawa, the contrast between them is quite intriguing. The former, Niemeyer’s own residence, demonstrates the spatial truth in privacy that the architect explored; the latter startles the viewer with spectacular features orchestrated through Niemeyer’s collaboration with landscape designer Roberto Burle Marx. Futagawa’s exceptional photography completes the tribute to this pair of masterful designs.

Monu 30: Late Life Urbanism

Publisher Board Publishers
Idea code 19199
€ 15.00
The topic of “Late Life Urbanism” looks at how architecture and cities will be impacted in the future by societies that become increasingly older. According to Deane Simpson, an important group to consider is the “Young-Old” demographic, which corresponds to a shift from an ethos of care to one of leisure and entertainment. Other contributions include a photo-essay by Peter Granser portraying a large retirement community in Arizona, a range of urban interventions detailed by Chris Phillipson, an architectural project by Junya Ishigami for people with dementia in Japan, and Rafael Luna’s case study in Seoul on how technology will play a crucial role in improving elderly lives.

Publisher Artez Press
Idea code 19176
€ 40.35
Through no fault of his own, John Lautner's contributions to Modern architecture have been widely recognized only in the last ten or fifteen years. Even so, he still remains an enigma for some critics. We still have more to learn – and understand – about how he expanded the boundaries of Modern architecture. After years of research, Tycho Saariste and Jan-Richard Kikkert's book adds an invaluable resource for our understanding of Lautner. This book contains a description of the research and the travels to all built Lautner houses. It also contains a description of these houses and photographs the authors made during their visits. With an introduction by American architecture expert Alan Hess.

How can the history of a continent and an idea be brought together in a new place? In 2009 the European Parliament decided to create an institution dedicated to the history of Europe, an emblematic building located in the heart of the European Quarter in Brussels. The design, a transformation by the team of Chaix & Morel et Associés and JSWD Architekten of an Art Deco building from 1934, was finished in 2017. Their concept addressed how European history could find a spatially sensitive expression. This publication, authored by Sophie Trelcat and designed by Baldinger and Vu-Huu, presents the history of this seminal architectural project from conception to completion.

Italy / Australia: Postmodern Architecture In Translation
Isbn 9780994396624
Publisher Uro Publications
Idea code 19192
€ 36.90
It is perhaps not common knowledge that certain relationships with Italy were crucial in contributing to the development of postmodern architecture in Australia. In this collection of essays and interviews edited by Silvia Micheli and John Macarthur, various authors reflect on the reception of Italian postmodern architecture Down Under, revealing a richness of original responses and interpretations. Dedicated to the memory of architect Romaldo Giurgola and completed by a poem by Enrico Taglietti, the book is an addition to the ongoing discourse on European influences on Australian culture, and represents a first critical assessment of national postmodern architecture.
