Avisa 2021 no ISBN Acqn 31938
Pb 24x30cm 80pp col ills £13.50

'AV Proyectos 106' devotes its dossier to the Swiss firm Buchner Brundler, whose architecture,
free from recurrent formalisms, lets each project develop its own identity, always attentive to
context. The following section features the BIST (Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology)
competition, with the winning project by Barozzi Veiga and the four finalist proposals. The next
chapter presents six modular housing projects that are examples of versatile, sustainable, and
economical practice that starts out from the repetition of individual elements grouped to generate
a larger unit.

Shinkenchiku-Sha Co. Ltd. 2021 no ISBN Acqn 32013
Pb 22x29cm 200pp col ills £30.95

Since setting up in Los Angeles in 1998, the office of Johnston Marklee has come to be known for
works that are subtle yet deliberate contributions to their immediate surroundings as well as the
larger cultural realm. Frequently veiled behind playfulness and simplicity is an intense
investigative nature. Founding partners Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee have continuously sought
dialogue with modern and contemporary art, not only through clientele and project programs but
also in design approach. In the past decade their works have expanded greatly in scale and
diversified in building type. Here, 26 key projects are presented alongside several thematic
collages and essays.

A Morphological Approach To Cities And Regions

Triest Verlag 2021 ISBN 9783038630456 Acqn 32018
Pb 21x30cm 282pp col ills £52.50

First published 34 years ago, 'A Morphological Approach to Cities and Their Regions' now
appears in a new English edition, indicative of the continuing interest in the teaching and design
work of Italian architect Saverio Muratori (1910-1973). Muratori was at the forefront of post-war
architectural debate in Italy, a period marked by the intellectual polarity between rationalism and
functionalism on one side and traditionalism and conservatism on the other. He achieved lasting
influence through his theories of urban development, in which the city is seen as an evolving
organism that can neither be understood nor further developed unless first grasped in its
historical dimensions.

Sebastiao Moreira - Casa Em Sabrosa

A.Mag 2021 ISBN 9789895493883 Acqn 32023
Hb 22x24cm 80pp col ills £48.95

Nestled in a landscape where the Marao mountains meet the river Douro, the house known as
Casa Sabrosa adapts sensitively to the easily sloping natural topography, merging with it. Closed
on one side, partially sunken into the ground, it opens up completely on the other to the light and
surroundings. The power of the design is rooted in its sequence of interior spaces unified by a
large central corridor, a spatial link that connects the whole complex. A text by Francisco Aires
Mateus introduces this notable work by fellow Portuguese architect Sebastiao Moreira.

What We Talk About When We Talk About Architecture

Uro Publications 2021 ISBN 9780648685890 Acqn 32028
Pb 15x23cm 128pp col ills £29.95

A series of conversations with thinkers and practitioners of contemporary architecture today,

featuring visiting lecturers Beatriz Colomina, Peter Wilson, and John Lin and Joshua Bolchover of
Rural Urban Framework. The talks, which took place in 2018 and 2019 at the Melbourne School
of Design, University of Melbourne, dive deeper into the ideas and processes behind their
buildings - the players, places, forces, cultural imperatives, and ideologies that the glamour of the
finished output often obscures. In addition, thought-provoking essays by Diane Yvonne Ghirardo,
Justin Clemens, Sven-Olov Wallenstein, and others offer fresh insights on the themes uncovered.

Urban Design In The 20th Century - A History

gta Verlag 2021 ISBN 9783856764180 Acqn 32031
Pb 20x26cm 400pp col ills £67.50

Our time is an urban age. More people live in cities than ever before, cities are growing larger and
denser than ever, and urbanity is reaching new levels of complexity. Since around the turn of the
20th century, as urban populations steadily increased, architects and planners have faced the
challenges of designing new housing and public space. Yet they also needed to respond to
emerging societal challenges, such as reconstruction after two world wars, decolonisation,
economic and political crises, growing climatic concerns, and cultural shifts. Tom Avermaete and
Janina Gosseye, associate professors of architecture at TU Delft, present a definitive history of
urban design.

This Is Sirai Seiichi

Seigensha Art Publishing 2021 ISBN 9784861528712 Acqn 32044
Pb 19x25cm 244pp col ills £32.75

Born in Kyoto, Shirai Seiichi (1905-1983) was an architect whose eccentric yet refined style and
use of materials conspicuously diverged from the common architecture of the time in Japan.
Upon graduating from the design department of the forerunner to today's Kyoto Institute of
Technology, he studied philosophy in Germany before returning to Japan and becoming a self-
taught architect. His use of European classicist features and facades, as well as materials like
marble and brick, gained him numerous commissions which he executed in a variety of
architectural styles. This densely illustrated book appears with the eponymous exhibition at the
Shoto Museum of Art.

New Historical Atlas of Amsterdam

Thoth Uitgeverij 2021 ISBN 9789068688481 Acqn 32132
Hb 25x33cm 80pp col ills £26.50

This fascinating book presents the spatial development of Amsterdam through a series of
historical and newly drawn maps, from its humble beginnings as a small port town around the
year 1200 to the present-day metropolis and beyond. It details the steady urban growth of the
powerful mercantile centre in the 16th and 17th centuries, its regional and global reach, and
renewed growth in the late 19th century after a period of decline. In the 20th century, Amsterdam
was one of the first cities in the world where urban planning was guided by modernist principles
regarding light, air, and space, while today its expansion is marked by artificial islands and
successful redevelopment.
