Summary:
''Room 606'' preserves the definitive masterwork of the Danish architect and designer Arne Jacobsen, in microcosm. Room 606 is the only surviving interior of the SAS House; the combined luxury hotel and satellite air terminal that Jacobsen designed for the Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) and completed in 1960. The SAS House was the most complete commission of Jacobsen’s career, in which he exercised the full range of his talents as a designer of furniture, lamps, textiles, gardens, tableware and graphics. As the fragment that encapsulates the basic ideas of the whole building, Room 606 provides a lens for reconstructing Jacobsen’s vanished masterwork in words and images. Richly illustrated with nearly 500 photographs and drawings, this book guides the reader on a virtual tour through the Royal Hotel and SAS Air Terminal as they stood in 1960. Along the way, the author reveals the connections between the SAS House and Jacobsen’s earlier buildings and objects. As a result, the tour that begins in Room 606 provides a general introduction to Jacobsen’s career. Based on his ongoing study of modern Nordic architecture, Michael Sheridan has developed ideas established in his 2003 cult classic- also titled ''Room 606'' and long out of print- to arrive at a fresh perspective on Arne Jacobsen’s life’s work. Using new text and images, Sheridan reveals the essence of Jacobsen’s creative practice, in which he employed technology to heighten the presence of nature.

Summary:
Durant sa vie, Le Corbusier a construit seulement cinq unités d'habitation - à Marseille, Rezé, Berlin, Briey et Firminy -, bien peu en regard des soixante-dix que l'architecte a conçues et qui devaient apporter, avec ce nouveau modèle typologique d'habitat, une véritable révolution dans l'aménagement urbain. Si ces réalisations font figure d'exceptions, elles appartiennent déjà à l'histoire sociale et culturelle du XX° siècle : en effet, elles répondent à un contexte de pénurie de logements durant la période de la reconstruction (Marseille et Rezé) et celui de l'industrialisation de régions sidérurgiques et minières (Firminy et Briey) ; d'autre part, elles s'inscrivent dans la poursuite du Mouvement moderne des années 1930, qui trouve après-guerre un terrain favorable pour s'exprimer à grande échelle (Interbau 57 à Berlin). Manifestations d'un idéal de vie moderne qui promeut le développement de nouveaux équipements dans les logements (eau courante, chauffage central, cuisine équipée...) et de services collectifs dans l'immeuble (commerce, école, équipement sportif, théâtre en plein air), les unités d'habitation ont su s'adapter aux changements jusqu'à s'inscrire résolument dans la contemporanéité, mais aussi comme un patrimoine architectural. Cet ouvrage retrace leur histoire en présentant le contexte de leur commande, le déroulement du chantier ainsi que leur vie et leurs évolutions. Les photographies accompagnant les textes, fruits d'un dialogue entre les habitants et les auteurs, montrent combien le combat de Le Corbusier pour le logement social reste vivant et que son utopie est devenue une réalité évolutive.

Against all odds, the former World Trade Centre in Brussels is being repurposed in a previously unimaginable way. After many years of vacancy, the building now represents a new approach to urban development and a showcase for dealing in a more sustainable way with older buildings threatened with demolition. And although the adaptive reuse of this building is unique, the underlying concepts and processes are not – a lesson on how not to demolish a building.

Summary:
After more than three decades as a renowned global architect, Yasmeen Lari, the first woman to open her own architecture firm in Pakistan in 1964, developed Zero Carbon Architecture, which unites ecological and social justice. This volume, edited by Angelika Fitz, Elke Krasny, and Marvi Mazhar, presents Lari’s trajectory from exemplary modernist to zero carbon revolutionary, with a focus on her remarkable contributions to the global architectural movement to decarbonize and decolonize. Lari’s architectural thinking and activism have always gone beyond the quest for a singular built solution. Rather, she strategically plans systemic approaches and solutions, be it for housing, a heritage foundation, or zero-carbon shelters with communities at risk. Original essays from diverse international contributors contextualize Lari’s work; investigate architecture and the postimperial, postcolonial, and postpartition condition; and examine the intersections of architecture and human rights, climate change, decolonization, gender, care, activism, and vernacular innovation.

Summary:
This first book in Dongola’s Architecture Series, a platform to publish multi-layered readings of conversations with Arab architects working across the region's contemporary landscapes. Ammar Khammash’s work in building, painting, sculpture and music, together with his social, geological and botanical research break and intersect with every possible disciplinary mold in favor of an ongoing momentum of production and dissemination of knowledge. His practice is an act of mutual formation, an ongoing collaboration between himself and nature, which is, in his regard, the only real architect. Rather than package the practice, this book aims to reveal associations, untangle connections, and trace wandering threads. In exploring these various processes of formation – material, intellectual, and otherwise – this book works to offer a reading of architecture that draws on experimentation, context sensitivity and cultural introspection as main foundations.
