El Croquis 202: Bernardo Bader 2009-2019
Isbn 9788412003444
Publisher El Croquis
Idea code 20001
€ 67.70
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.

Ja 116: Place + Urbanism, City Ever Evolving
Isbn 4910051330109
Publisher Shinkenchiku-sha
Idea code 20003
€ 21.95
With this issue, Shinkenchiku-sha launches a new series entitled ‘Place + Urbanism’. “Place” refers to more than just locations in the city. Rather, it looks towards the character that defines neighbourhoods as places which support the lives and activities of the people who live and work there, and as situations that include architectural spaces. “Urbanism” refers not only to top-down urban planning but also bottom-up approaches in the form of shared ideals about life in the city. The complementary relationship between place and urbanism thus forms the essential basis of the series. This inaugural issue looks at changes taking place in 21 cities around the world.

Villages And Towns 9: Iberia (Part 2)
Isbn 9784871404624
Publisher Ada Edita
Idea code 19657
€ 35.00
The ninth volume of the revised ‘Villages and Towns’ series completes the journey through the Iberian Peninsula that began with volume eight. The focus here is on the rough terrain and harsh natural landscape that stretches from central to north-west Spain. Four villages were selected to represent the architecture that has developed in this seemingly inhospitable climate. Going beyond the heritage of vernacular architectures, the study also examines how these communities live in harmony with local features. Rather than trying to control nature, they give it respect, doing their best to become part of it. With photography by Yukio Futagawa and texts by the late Maria Lluïsa Borràs.

€ 19.35
This first issue of ‘Vesper’ is dedicated to the realities and unreleased imaginaries of the famous lagoon city. Venice is read as a paradigm of contemporaneity, the place where the architecture, arts, and theories have superlative dimensions: very slow, extremely long-lasting, super short, or overexposed. The journal collects projects, essays, and other views from various directions and perspectives, whether a reflection on the city, its architecture, music and theatre, or on Venice as a literary body in itself.

Volume 56: Playbor
Isbn 9789077966662
Publisher Archis
Idea code 19689
€ 19.50
No longer are work and leisure separate realms. These days, playing is work and work demands play. This gamification of the workspace uses points, levels, and feedback, aiming to improve the worker’s engagement, boost productivity, facilitate learning, optimise systems, and more. Through the production of playful work, gamification shapes identities that fit the needs of capitalism: enthusiastic, self-engaged, and self-exploitative subjects. This issue of ‘Volume’ is divided in two sections: “Powerplay”, in which the renewed relations between work and leisure are explored, and “Playground”, where the spatial implications of this recent focus on gaming are addressed.

Schiphol - Groundbreaking Airport Design 1967-1975
Isbn 9789462085459
Publisher Nai010 Publishers
Idea code 20014
€ 53.50
The new Schiphol opened its doors in 1967. Everything had been thought out, from the runway system to the details of its interior and its now world-famous signage and lettering. The designers had carefully studied the latest developments in aviation and combined them uncompromisingly. They turned Schiphol into a textbook example of a modern airport. Schiphol is a well-oiled machine that flawlessly channels immense flows of people, planes, and packages. Every effort is made to put travellers at ease and to provide them with an overview despite the hustle and bustle. This book describes and represents how a large team of top designers once gave shape to this new Schiphol.

The third instalment of the ‘ONE’ series, edited by Eduardo Souto de Moura, presents the University of Porto’s Institute of Research and Innovation in Health (I3S), designed by Serôdio Furtado & Associados Arquitectos.

Its character and scale are appropriate to its function –monolithic concrete, deliberately grey, with only a few hints of white – while its spaces are distributed with clarity in courtyards connected by capacious galleries and full of light. With contributions by architect Pedro Bandeira.
