The third practice started in 2004 and, strongly characterised by a personal interest in craftsmanship, is known for carefully considered but powerful interventions.

Isbn 9789462086784
Publisher Nai010 Publishers
Idea code 22329
€ 39.95
In celebrating its 35th anniversary, the seminal yearbook of architecture in the Netherlands takes the opportunity to reflect on the far-reaching changes which have been taking place in the building practice over the last few years. Construction in wood has gradually become mainstream, for instance, while clients and local governments are increasingly enlisting architecture to tackle social problems, and architects are using their craft to give meaning to the living environment. The selection of projects by editors Teun van den Ende, Uri Gilad, and Arna Mačkić covers a diverse range of function and design, closely tracking the most significant developments in the Netherlands today.

Oase 111: Staging the Museum
Isbn 9789462086975
Publisher Nai010 Publishers
Idea code 22310
€ 24.95
Museums facilitate encounters among visitors, objects, and stories while also facilitating the staging of these visits. In the 19th century, the transition from city to museum interior was dramatized, while in the 20th-century post-war period the “barrier-free” museum emerged in an attempt to abolish this boundary. Today, other boundaries are being rethought as well, such as opening up depots and restoration studios to the public. This edition examines how historical and contemporary buildings stage museum visits and museum activities, how permanent furnishing and temporary scenography interact, and how museums display their activities either transparently or imaginatively.

Provocations Against Perfectionism: The Architecture of Friis and Moltke 1950-1980
Isbn 9789492058140
Publisher The Architecture Observer
Idea code 22316
€ 37.50
Between 1950 and 1980 Danish architects Knud Friis and Elmar Moltke realised hundreds of projects. Most of their work can be found in Jutland, the majority built in and near Aarhus. Roughly 10% of the firm’s built work is presented here, in a cross section of their schools, town halls, sports complexes, housing, private houses and summerhouses, hotels, offices, factories, churches, and conference centres. The book traces the development of Friis and Moltke’s unique and friendly brutalism, which is always comfortable, casual, and, in the words of Knud Friis, a ‘provocation against perfectionism’.

Arquitectura Viva 243: SANAA
Isbn 02141256
Publisher Avisa
Idea code 22234
€ 20.45
Most of the works that Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa have completed outside their country have been carried out under the joint label of SANAA, a firm which has managed to export the distilled elegance and evanescent materiality that permeate the duo’s aesthetic trail across the Japanese archipelago. Arquitectura Viva presents two experiences attesting to this global reach from firm roots: the renovation of La Samaritaine department store in Paris and the new Bocconi University campus in Milan. The magazine’s dossier features four projects that reflect a shift of the agrarian sector toward technification and sustainability: two farms, one by Goldsmith in Rotterdam and the other by La Shed Architecture in Quebec; and two laboratories for agricultural research, one by Van Bergen Kolpa with META in Roeselare and the other by Mert Uslu in İzmir.

Publisher Triest Verlag
Idea code 22246
€ 43.00
The International Architecture Biennale in Venice – La Biennale – is a platform for engaging with and discussing architecture. As a temporary and recurrent exhibition of cultural translations and a place of transnational encounters, the world’s most prominent architectural exhibition reflects contemporary architectural practice. Starting out from Venice, offshoots of this format have been established around the world over the past decades. In 2021, in view of the global pandemic, the Architecture Biennale took place in Venice under changed conditions – might this be a blueprint for the future? This book analyses the methods of exhibiting architecture today.

Honeycombs and Pyramids - Works by Rasmus Fenhann 1999-2022
Isbn 9782953808179
Publisher Galerie Maria Wettergren
Idea code 22211
€ 30.65
Creating pieces with an equal focus on sculptural and functional qualities, Rasmus Fenhann works almost exclusively with wood, which he carefully selects for each project. His process combines traditional and sometimes near-forgotten craft techniques with advanced technology and tooling – including CAD sketching, visualisation and processing. Fenhann’s main source of inspiration is traditional Japanese woodwork and Danish cabinetmaking, with his works often incorporating personal interpretations of select aspects of these craft traditions. His work is also stimulated by nature and the mathematical properties of natural forms – universal forms unaffected by human control. Today he is considered one of the most important Scandinavian designers within the field of hand-crafted collectible design.
