Residential Masterpieces 32: Gerrit Rietveld - Rietveld Schröder House
Isbn 9784871405652
Publisher Ada Edita
Idea code 21722
€ 29.45
An icon of the modern movement and De Stijl, the Rietveld Schröder House in the Netherlands was designed by Dutch architect Gerrit Rietveld (1888–1964) and completed in 1924. In 2000 the house was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Built together with his client, it was Rietveld’s first architectural manifestation, and would prove to be the key work for his entire oeuvre. The relationship between interior and exterior, for instance, would continue to play a major role in the form and situation of his houses. Another fascination of Rietveld’s was the open floor plan. Photographer Yoshio Futagawa pays tribute to a pioneering monument of experimental residential design.

Faschismus und Architektur - Max Bächer's confrontation with Albert Speer
Isbn 9783944425153
Publisher M Books
Idea code 22026
€ 15.05
Architect Max Bächer established himself at the forefront of West German post-war architecture, considerably influencing the state’s architectural development from 1960 through the 21st century. In particular, he studied the architecture of fascism as a historical phenomenon. In this publication, Frederike Lausch analyses his extensive collection of documents for the first time, including on the National Socialist period. Bächer himself met Nazi architect Albert Speer in 1973. The previously unpublished record of that exchange is the starting point for this examination of Bächer’s intensive search to reveal the complex relationship between architecture and fascism.

Idea code 22156
€ 23.90
This issue offers an inside look at the architecture, landscape, and cities of Colombia, a land of fabulous natural beauty that has used architecture as a key agent in rebuilding its cities and civil society following decades of strife. A photo essay by Camilo Echavarría shows how travels through the tropical region reveal a homogenous, abstract passage of time, where architecture is conditioned by various landscapes and geographic diversity. Medellín-based architect and guest editor Camilo Restrepo Ochoa leads this journey through Colombia, showing works by fourteen practices across three generations, and neighbourhoods that are reinvigorated through mobility and urban space.

René Heyvaert - Denver Mosaic 1961
Isbn 9789464460063
Publisher Roma Publications
Idea code 22022
€ 24.00
In 1961, Belgian architect René Heyvaert conceived ‘Denver Mosaic’ for a building on the outskirts of Denver, Colorado. Due to its scale, permanence, and site specificity, the mosaic has a spatial operation that is closely linked to architecture and embodies many aspects that would play an important role in Heyvaert’s later two-dimensional and sculptural works as an artist. The time he spent in the United States marks a transformative period in which he initiated his transition from architect to visual artist; the mosaic is the most significant work produced in this period. This edition is a spin-off of research conducted by the design office AVDAK for an exhibition on Heyvaert’s work.

Kerb 29: Wild
Isbn 9781922601025
Publisher Uro Publications
Idea code 22100
€ 25.00
An expanding array of human-made disturbances confronts our world: climate crises, global pandemic, species extinctions, land degradation. Yet the full extent of our impact on the planet remains uncertain. The systems we have established to civilise and control our environment have distanced us from our landscapes, their non-human inhabitants, and each other. Looking through the lens of the “wild”, this issue considers notions such as the human/wild binary, empty wilderness, “othering” and “abandonment”, as well as emergent practices in designing with wilderness and digital tools. With contributions by Dermot Foley, Charles Massy, Carol Moukheiber, Martin Hogue, and more.

Imagination and Participation - Next Step In Public Library Architecture
Isbn 9789462086623
Publisher Nai010 Publishers
Idea code 22002
€ 41.75
How can the public library fulfil its classic social mission in our individualised and sometimes fragmented society? And how does such a library fit into the urban public space, in which commerce and consumption seem to reign supreme? This requires innovative architecture, the strength of imagination and the willingness to think countercyclically. In 'Imagination and Participation' librarians Rob Bruijnzeels and Joyce Sternheim examine the most important transitions in public library work. With insight from experts and top Dutch architects who have designed public libraries in the Netherlands and abroad.

Isbn 9789464370959
Publisher Lecturis
Idea code 22129
€ 12.00
There is a growing awareness that the current global economic model is responsible for the deterioration of the environment and natural systems on our planet. This not only threatens humans but also has consequences for all Earth’s species. This book presents contributions from a workshop developed by Baltan Laboratories and Philips Experience Design and Research Group New Economy at Avans University of Applied Sciences in the Netherlands. The perspectives put forward join two future trajectories inspired by a post-anthropocentric view. In sharing the process of co-creation, the editors seek to engage others in this collective effort for radical future economic thinking.
