Schiphol - Groundbreaking Airport Design 1967-1975

nai010 publishers 2019 ISBN 9789462085459 Acqn 30113
Hb 25x32cm 192pp col ills £49.95

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.

Shinkenchiku-Sha Co. Ltd. 2020 ISBN 9784900212466 Acqn 30271
Pb 22x29cm 192pp col ills £32

This instalment examines the past decade of architectural discourse in the Netherlands.
Following the global financial crisis in 2008, the construction industry faced a slowdown; what
was then considered "typically" Dutch has since faded, replaced with a new, more modest
attitude in the Dutch architecture scene. Across three themes, guest editor Kirsten Hannema
introduces nineteen projects that are perceived as combining broader social issues, and which in
turn have taken on a new form of cultural momentum, despite going relatively unnoticed in
comparison with the "SuperDutch" generation. With work by NL Architects, Superuse Studios,

Upcycling - Reuse as a Design Principle in Architecture

Triest Verlag 2020 ISBN 9783038630463 Acqn 30459
Pb 15x21cm 204pp col ills £42

New approaches in architecture reveal a trend towards "upcycling". Yet the history of building has
also always been a history of recycled and upcycled building materials and components, as well
as of building knowledge and styles. Comprehending buildings as part of a process of social
change poses a challenge to our modern concept of unambiguity, seclusion, and authorship in
architecture. This volume explores the potential of historical concepts of upcycling, and confronts
them with new developments in architectural and building practice. Rather than a matter of
idealism, recycling and upcycling present an argument for economy and the quality of structure
and design.

Manuel and Francisco Aires Mateus are adamant when they say it is very interesting to work

however, they have often pointed to the problems they are faced with when working in Portugal:
lack of planning, overly restrictive regulations, very limited market for experimenting with new

contribute to architecture's continued improvement. This guidebook is both a reference to the

Though trained at ETH Zurich during the years of Aldo Rossi's chair, Valerio Olgiati (Cuera, 1958)
has produced an oeuvre much removed from themes like type and context. Powerful in their
schematism, monolithic in their materiality, exquisite in their details, Olgiati's buildings are thought
out less as sociopolitical instruments than as emotive objects whose shapes arise from the
composition process. The projects selected for this issue: the Pearling Path Visitors Center in
Bahrain, Villa Alem in Portugal's Alentejo region, a one-family house in Laax, and a residential
building in Zug, both in Switzerland.

As architecture comes to grips with its role in climate change - or at least the role of its primary

Guest edited by Elisa Iturbe, critic at the Yale School of Architecture, this special issue addresses

rethinking and re-forming our world. The message is that trees may be a short-term solution, but
they are not an architectural solution. With contributions from Rania Ghosn, Daniel A. Barber,

guiding the reader towards lesser-known yet remarkable places that are sometimes hidden in the
