Summary:
Werner Blaser, architect and author introduces the reader to the world of Tadao Ando's sunken architecture. In photographs, a method of construction is presented that has its roots in the traditional "earth dwellings" of northern and north-western China. Yet Tadao Ando's in-ground buildings are no dark, cave-like structures. The interiors are illuminated through open atriums and large, deep-drawn areas of glass, thus giving light an almost palpable form. In the face of increasing environmental damage and urban housing problems, architectural strategies have to be developed that respect nature and do not put extra pressure on urban surroundings. With his sunken structures, Tadao Ando succeeds in building in accordance with nature, at the same time connecting tradition and present - thus making the cultural history of building relevant for the present.

This is the first book to document Sobek's unique house. In it the author explains the architectural design, describing the supporting structures, the technology used, the temperature control system, and to conclude he explores what it must be like to live in such a futuristic building.

Summary:
In Arlesheim near Basel, Switzerland, the architects Klaus Schuldt and Andreas Scheiwiller have constructed five two-storey villas on a communal plot of land - it is no coincidence that their minimalist appearances are reminiscent of the style developed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in the 1920s. Yet it is not just the variation of architectonic elements but also the(...)

Yet it is not just the variation of architectonic elements but also the arrangement of these houses on this rural site which make "Ensemble Habitat" so interesting. Striking a careful balance between the individual and the general, between diversity and simplicity, this small group of houses can be justifiably considered exemplary.

Summary:
Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925), founder of the Anthroposophical Society, was also active in the field of architecture and the arts. His designs for the two Goetheanum buildings at Dornach, near Basel, together with the many residential and functional buildings grouped around them have met with great admiration. In his architecture, Steiner sought to realize a form of building which would reflect his sense of spiritualism, and it is his unusual but innovative use of concrete and his expressive timber forms which are of interest to architects today. This book provides a long-awaited overview of the most significant and interesting buildings on the Goetheanum hill. Detail photographs and panoramas in duotone are accompanied by comments by Werner Blaser and an introduction by Walter Kugler, administrator of the Steiner estate.

Reached by a dark and winding passage, the courtyard is the physical and spiritual centre of the house. Green vegetation, flowering plants (in the garden-like Riads), and fountains fed by narrow channels of flowing water provide a cool, shaded enclosure. Light from above combines to create a serene and sheltering atmosphere, a peaceful paradise. A venerable tradition, still very much alive. Werner Blaser has captured this marvellous architecture in duotone photos.

Summary:
The new building for Bayer’s company headquarters is innovative and transparent, functional yet sophisticated, embodying the ethos of this global concern. Indeed these were the factors which led Bayer to chose Helmut Jahn’s project in 1998. Comprising four storeys, the structure is semi-elliptical in shape. To the south it blends harmoniously with the Carl-Duisburg Park while to the north, a long garden pergola provides the link to the entry hall. In order to make maximum use of natural resources and minimize technical equipment the concrete structure has a twin shell facade, facilitating natural ventilation and optimizing daylight. This building skin regulates interior and exterior conditions and the integral heating and cooling system takes advantage of the low energy characteristics of water and the thermal storage capacity of concrete. This book portrays this structure in stunning duotone photographs, short texts and plans.
