As a teacher at the School of Architecture in Aarhus, he invited peers such as Peter Cook, Lebbeus Woods, and Zaha Hadid to Scandinavia, thereby contributing to its international reputation and his own sources of inspiration. The book includes texts by Michael Sorkin, Christine Hawley, Carsten Thau, and others.

Rick Eckersley - Rogue: Art Of A Garden
Isbn 9780648435518
Publisher Uro Publications
Idea code 20403
€ 59.30
Rick Eckersley’s garden at Musk Cottage is the culmination of years of design and experimentation in Australian landscape architecture, as well as a deeply personal expression of his respect for Australia’s flora and ecologies. This book documents this remarkable landscape and the sensibility that produced it. Photography by Will Salter guides the reader through the various plantings, textures, spaces, and cycles, while a selection of artworks by Australian artists, inspired by the garden, form richly subjective layers of interpretation and perspectives. Short reflections by Eckersley reveal the philosophical underpinnings of his approach – an almost painterly take on garden design.

Wanderspace | Zwerfruimte
Isbn 9789462085893
Publisher Nai010 Publishers
Idea code 20330
€ 32.05
While open spaces are becoming increasingly scarce, we continue to overlook the possibilities of what has already been built. With this book, RE-ST puts the needless growth of the existing patrimony on the agenda. They define “wanderspace” as built and unbuilt space that we produce together, and yet underutilise on a daily basis. Space that is present everywhere and nowhere on different scales. The task of detecting, mapping, and activating it is an opportunity for architects. The research project “Wanderspace” was awarded the BWMSTR Label in 2018. RE-ST is a Flemish architecture and research firm that looks for solutions to urgent and complex spatial issues.

Jaipur, A Planned City Of Rajasthan
Isbn 9788494933011
Publisher Altrim Publishers
Idea code 20323
€ 32.25
The Indian city of Jaipur is particularly famous for the strangeness of its monuments and the predominantly pink colour of its buildings. Yet this book dives into the heart of the city and its architecture to further examine the history, urbanism, and architecture that have become symbolic of the old centre of Jaipur. Setting out on an exploration of the city’s districts beyond the palace walls, it offers many discoveries and surprises through direct contact with the urban fabric. This leads to an improved understanding of why Jaipur is unusual among pre-modern Indian cities, with its broad avenues dividing six urban quarters, which in turn contain networks of gridded streets.

Publisher Avisa
Idea code 20335
€ 18.20
Linked to Barcelona, where they have their studio set up and also teach, Miguel Roldán and Mercè Berengué think of architecture as a search for possibilities that serves both as a perusal of the different layers of reality and an opportunity to transform it. Their buildings address the demands specific to each and every context, over and above personal styles. This issue features three new works in the city of Barcelona: 46 social dwellings built in a fomer Fabra & Coats plant; Espai Bombers, an exhibition and information center made out of a 1929 construction; and Rambla 124, the result of turning a historical hotel into a retail, office, and residential building.

Idea code 20405
€ 22.65
OverHolland 20 looks at the future development of Amsterdam from various points of view. Since 2016 the city of Amsterdam, which is famed for its expansion plans, has been focusing closely on densification. As part of its strategy to develop a city with high quality of life (based on a circular economy and health), the city council’s 'Target 2025: room for the city’ programme aims for densification with at least 50,000 new dwellings. Most of these will be created in the ‘Ring Zone’: the area between the pre- and post-war city along the A10 motorway, the circular railway and the banks of the River IJ.
