Summary:
The idea that our homes can communicate professional as well as personal identities may seem as new as the work-from-home revolution. But it was second nature to the ancient Romans, for whom the home was in many ways the center of public and private life. Roman authors saw infinite practical and symbolic value in houses, and they have much to say about them. "How to make(...)

Summary:
What does it mean for architecture to be a truly collaborative venture where plants and other species also exercise their agency? This would mean to make architecture receptive—physically, premised on creating spaces for accommodating multispecies; and intellectually, premised on becoming aware of the needs of more-than-humans. Design-based approaches whether technocratic(...)

Summary:
What does it mean for architecture to be a truly collaborative venture where plants and other species also exercise their agency? This would mean to make architecture receptive—physically, premised on creating spaces for accommodating multispecies; and intellectually, premised on becoming aware of the needs of more-than-humans. Design-based approaches whether technocratic or demonstrating a theoretical standpoint are fragmented today and demand a holistic approach. ''Living Together'' positions itself in that fragmentation. The book is an inquiry into an architecture which allows multispecies alliances to take place. It brings materialist and ecological inquiries to architectural design, practice, and thinking; acknowledging a necessity to go beyond established architectural ideals of progress, monumentality, longevity, and permanence.

This book, a reflection on Herman Hertzberger’s legacy, spanning from 1959 to today, is as much about making architecture as it is about world-making. The Dutch architect never considered his works as stand-alone objects, but rather as parts of webs of connections on different scales. In this collection of texts, photographs, drawings, his own work, and architecture and art by others, all of these layers come together to form a universe of inspirations, ideas, and solutions – in Hertzberger’s words, his ‘musée imaginaire’. Edited by Suzanne Mulder and Hans Ibelings, the book is written and compiled by Hertzberger himself and features an essay by Thomas Hertzberger.

Summary:
Is nature a place, an all-encompassing system, or an ideal that we carry within us? The work of Bas Ketelaars (NL) emerges from an interest in the problem of representing nature. A nature that is unreachably far away and yet all around us. Ketelaars explores the landscape in a personal and experiential way, interested in both the means of photography and drawing, in order(...)

A nature that is unreachably far away and yet all around us. Ketelaars explores the landscape in a personal and experiential way, interested in both the means of photography and drawing, in order to create images where different systems produce the image together. "Edges of landscape" is a work in itself in which Ketelaars combines his photographic material with drawings in an experimental manner for the first time.

He campaigned against the human and environmental costs of industrial mass production and viewed the arts as central to creating a better society. In these essays, Morris develops his philosophy of simplicity, equality and care for nature in relation to architecture, displaying the integrated vision of culture which has led to Morris being viewed as a forerunner to both the Bauhaus and today’s environmental movements.

''Architecture and Modern Life'' is a collection of essays by influential architect and educator W. R. Lethaby (1857–1931).

In these writings, Lethaby foreshadows Le Corbusier and marks a fascinating transitional point between 19th- and 20th-century architectural thought. With radical foresight, he argues for an “efficiency style” in architecture, for towns that cultivate vitality, and against the science of “profit grinding and grabbing.” Often eerily prescient, phrases such as “there is a culture war going forward” and “There is much talk of Housing at the present time, but it is a case of much talk and little house” could be taken from today’s newspapers. The profound importance of these texts lies in Lethaby’s vision of art and design grounded not in style-novelty or aesthetic theory (“the mystification of architecture”) but in “some reality like health, serviceableness, or even perfect cheapness.”

Journeying through the history of the author’s own library, the book reveals some of his most prized texts, the often deeply personal relationships they represent, and their influence on him as conceptual touchstones. In this extended reflection, Van Schaik essentially offers a celebration of the art, poetry, and philosophy of inhabitation – and its power to change our understanding of the world.

Summary:
Comprised of two steel and concrete towers outfitted with 140 prefabricated living capsules, the ''Nakagin Capsule Tower'' in Tokyo is one of the most iconic and influential architectural marvels of the postwar period. A touchstone of the Metabolist movement, the tower was designed by the office of Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa (1934–2007) and completed between 1970 and 1972. Each capsule was intended for single occupancy and came outfitted with its own ensuite bathroom, a foldout desk, a telephone, a reel-to-reel tape player, a Sony color television and a "porthole" window overlooking the city. In this volume of the MoMA ''One on One'' series, curator Evangelos Kotsioris delves into the groundbreaking design, construction, evolution and ultimate need for the demolition of this remarkable structure in 2022. It is published in advance of MoMA's exhibition of one of the original capsules, the first to be publicly shown in the United States.
