Summary:
The first monograph of the collected works of architect Tezzo Nishizawa introduces 30 projects across three typologies: art exhibitions, museums, and residences. The publication begins with a series of photographs that illustrate the unique perspective and philosophy underlying and linking these works. Following that are detailed plans and commentaries on each project, where the images and drawings serve to reveal the architect’s methodology and thought. A postscript by Nishizawa touches on the relationship between exhibition layouts and architectural design, in which the architect also elaborates on the reasons for his particular interest in collaborative design.

Based in Los Angeles, Tom Wiscombe heads an internationally recognised architecture practice, known for its powerful massing, graphic qualities, and tectonic inventiveness.

Summary:
Based in Los Angeles, Tom Wiscombe heads an internationally recognised architecture practice, known for its powerful massing, graphic qualities, and tectonic inventiveness. His team’s approach stems from their theory of the flat ontology of architecture, which imagines architecture – and the world – as a set of discrete, lively entities that exist democratically on a flat plane. In this imposing monograph, the practice challenges the discipline of architecture to reimagine its place in contemporary culture. A body of work produced over the last decade is presented as part of a constellation of objects, ideas, precedents, and references and articulated with humour and clarity.

The ninth instalment of this journal is dedicated to the work of architectural firm Macías Peredo, influenced by the teachings of Manuel Aguilar-Moreno. Founded by Salvador Macias and Magui Peredo in 2013 in Guadalajara, the land of artisans, they were later joined by their partner Diego Quirarte. The firm questions the role of craft trade and its sustainable possibilities in contemporary architecture. A fundamental part of their approach is creating the conditions to allow for experimentation and improvisation in craft trades. Included are photographs, conceptual drawings, plans and collages, and an introduction of the selected works by Carlos Quintáns.

Summary:
As early as 1934 Charlotte Perriand began to reflect on the architectural aspects of leisure activities for all, but it was with Les Arcs, her greatest work, that she completed her reflection on the art of living in the mountains. Alongside the developer Roger Godino, Charlotte Perriand displayed all the facets of her immense talent: design, urban planning, but also bioclimatic architecture, of which she was a pioneer. She had to deal with financial and time constraints in order to design most of the Arc 1600 and 1800. Thanks to her perseverance and growing inventiveness, her integration of architecture into the sites, her innovative and human approach to traffic, and the life she breathes into the resort, especially on the rooftops, she has made it a friendly place, in harmony with the environment. Thus, she designs the interior architecture of more than 4,500 homes, 25,000 beds, for an annual flow of more than one million people. Her wish to combine the art of living in the mountains with housing for the greatest number of people has been largely realized.

Summary:
This book has been designed to present several Ipostudio architecture projects produced in different periods that feature assonances and shared conceptual characteristics and principles. Ipostudio is a working group that was founded in Florence 40 years ago. It carries out architectural design in the sphere of civil architecture, specializing in the areas of social and health structures, schools, special types of residence, and social housing. The works presented in this book are stillborn projects that never saw the light. Now, many years later, it seems only fair to give them another chance and, in a sense, a new life. The primary intention of this book is to tell the story of the origin and development of the design process.

Summary:
Sculptor Mark Manders installed an exhibition in the Woning Van Wassenhove, a post-Brutalist house designed by Juliaan Lampens in 1974. Although Manders hardly touched some spaces, he treats the bed, office, and kitchen as stages for aggregation in line with the original occupant’s mindset: drawings, architectural proposals, photographs, artworks, paint pots, and seemingly wet clay are piled on top of one another. In Manders’s words: "The aim is to show the house in a perfect situation. While some spaces derail when you zoom in on them, there is a kaleidoscopic element to it, as if you are looking inside a head."

« Agence-époque », Architecture Studio a grandi avec son temps, depuis sa fondation en 1973, en exprimant toujours les grands moments des périodes qu’elle a traversées, qu’ils soient empreints d’espoir ou signes de préoccupation. Les années soixante-dix, l’effervescence du militantisme, le mouvement Mars 76 et la création du syndicat de l’architecture, le contre-concours des Halles, l’élaboration de logements sociaux avec la participation des habitants… Viennent ensuite les années Mitterrand, l’Institut du monde arabe et les grands projets issus de la décentralisation. Dix ans plus tard, le Parlement européen de Strasbourg annonce une mondialisation qui passera d’abord par la Chine et l’Asie avant d’atteindre le continent africain. L’ouverture d’une maison commune à Venise en 2010 ainsi que le scénario et le plan d’une ville verte pour le nouveau centre de Kaboul en Afghanistan marquent le point culminant de cette époque.

Summary:
Charles and Henry Greene created the definitive houses of the American Arts and Crafts Movement. Raised to be architects, the Greene brothers were educated together at MIT, where their natural artistic skills blossomed in concert with an excellent practical education. While they practised architecture jointly in Southern California from 1906 to 1922 they achieved a powerful symbiosis, resulting in some of the most beautifully crafted houses in America. The elegant works of their peak period, such as the Gamble, Blacker and Thorsen houses, are masterful in their design and execution. No detail was overlooked: every element of the interior, including furniture, fittings and glasswork, as well as the building structure (down to pegs, air-vents and bracing) was conceived as an organic whole, and finished exquisitely. No hint of conflict was ever recorded between the gentlemanly brothers, yet their intertwined professional lives ultimately diverged into a physical separation and distinct design vocabularies. Even so, the automatic bond between the brothers was never completely severed, and they continued to consult each other on projects for the rest of their lives. This critical monograph, which charts the brothers’ careers (together and apart), is illustrated with superb new photography and draws on a wealth of previously unpublished archival material.
