Summary:
Architecture Without Content is architecture reduced to its very perimeter. The books in the series are the outcome of studios held at EPFL. In Architecture Without Content 14, the second incarnation of Roman Architecture presents itself as a double folded exercise: partly portraying the systematic work by Palladio in the Venetian inland during the second half of the sixteenth century, partyly reusing the accumulated knowledge in order to deal with urgent challenges in contemporary Flanders. The oeuvre by Palladio represents on of the most prototypical incarnations, almost literal indeed, of a possible Roman project. His prolific work for the venetian inlandrepresents a tremendous effort to systematise the complexity of an entire territory, from the city proper (i.e. Vicenza), to the countryside proper 9the sprawl still to come).

Summary:
Architecture Without Content is architecture reduced to its very perimeter. The books in the series are the outcome of studios offered at EPFL. In Architecture Without Content 17, we examine Metropolitan Architecture as the embodiment of the metropolis, an urban environment which has the ambition of becoming a world in itself, absorbing and swallowing different ecologies. Metropolitan Architecture embraces this condition and tends to reproduce the overwhelming diversity of the metropolis in itself. It develops its own way of engaging with formal consequences, in an attempt to organise the abundance of information into a crystallized architectural form. Deeply embedded in the european context, the metropolis of Paris coulf never be fully realised. projects shown here are perhaps expressing this position. They are bold depictions of the envelope, consciously lacking the interior and the detailed luster.

The small houses depicted here mediate between an individual city dweller and the shared infrastructure.

Summary:
Architecture Without Content is architecture reduced to its very perimeter. The books in the series are the outcome of studios offered at EPFL. This 21st incarnation of Architecture Without Content is, more than previous editions, a report related to our current (political) malaise. Apart from political urgency, what has changed? If always an architecture of necessity and economy (of means) was central to our argument, we felt it necessary to refine our recent arguments with a more Spartan catalogue. Classicism, acting as a catalyst for simplification, results in this collection of The Commons; an ambiguous collection of possible architecture themes. The catalogue spans from the obelisk, as pure architecture, to the fatto urbano, as a collection of architectural events in which the urban layout becomes the dominant factor.

Summary:
Architecture Without Content is architecture reduced to its very perimeter. The books in the series are the outcome of studios held at EPFL. In Architecture Without Content 16, an interest in Neo-Palladianism has been added to a project that investigates the impact of scale, as Palladianism was a defining factor in the early identification of 'American Architecture.' Thus, the studio was both formalistic and pragmatic and tried to inflate Palladian architecture to the scale of the strip: Neon Palladian. In the vast landscape of the United States of America, the scale of food production has always been gigantic. At the same time, it has seldom regained an architectural form similar to that of its most defining orgins. In this book, you will find projects that are organising an aspect of food production. In one way or another, they reconnect to the long-lost virtues of Jefferson's Palladianism.

Summary:
Architecture Without Content is architecture reduced to its very perimeter. The books in the series are the outcome of studios offered at EPFL. In Architecture Without Content 19, Almost Classicism continues where Neon Palladian left us. It starts in full conviction that the current project on the United States has to focus both on the countryside and on an attenpt to introduce some kind of commons. We feel the best way to illustrate this is to start where the commons have dissolved, in what used to be called 'The Village'. Here in this booklet, two tracks are presented: a set of projects in agricultural Iowa that rethink co-op into small village centers, and another in post-industrial Ohio, where in the post-Hoover restart, fragments and islands are formalised as micro-urban organisms.
