It summarizes, interprets, and explains the research of French architect and teacher Michel Kagan (1953–2009). Featuring some six hundred photographs, sketches, and plans, along with Kagan’s writings and contributions by twenty-six distinguished international authors who respond to his ideas with key elements of their own research, the volume comprehensively explores the typology of the metropolitan high-rise since the birth of early modernism. For this new English edition, the book’s content has been revised, updated, and expanded in the light of new research conducted by the faculty of the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture (ENSA) Paris-Val de Seine under the direction of Nathalie Régnier-Kagan. It offers a fascinating and multilayered overview informing students, architects, and critics alike on vertical architecture.

Summary:
The "evolving structures" exhibition brings together four revitalizations of buildings from different historical periods and of various typologies that have fallen out of use. In dealing with the restrictions imposed by the existing buildings - as well as with the requirements of monument preservation - the aim is to develop the existing substance from within. In this way, the buildings can regain their presence, which has faded over time, and radiate new vitality into their surroundings. From each of the four projects in the exhibition, ksg has formulated a thesis on sustainable transformation that describes the specific measure to be taken on the existing structure - the architectural key that enables a new activation of the existing building. All of the projects presented are currently undergoing conversion. This makes it possible to vividly convey the processes and the attitude of kister scheithauer gross.

His success in his field developed from those moments when he devoted himself to the study of the various techniques of construction. Whether in glassware or museum design, in the use of materials or those involved in essential building skills, what seems to have first seized his attention was the creative limitations implicit in them. This issue is a reprint of an extra edition of the magazine on Scarpa that first appeared in October 1985. Revived 40 years after its initial publication, it once again celebrates the complete picture of Scarpa’s designs.

After rising to international stardom, however, several critical regionalists soon began to erect distinctive albeit “placeless” buildings around the world.

After rising to international stardom, however, several critical regionalists soon began to erect distinctive albeit “placeless” buildings around the world. Aris Konstantinidis (1913–1993), a Greek architect less well known outside of his home country, instead propagated his vision of regional modernism to global audiences on his own terms through his publishing and teaching beyond national borders. This operative history of his life and work outside Greece unveils the potential for alternative practices of critical regionalism abroad.

Capital’s voracious appetite forces architecture into a regime of "never enough." The current realities of building involve extraction and exploitation, which, in turn, cause climate breakdown, environmental ruin, alienated labor conditions, and the destruction of local construction knowledge.

Summary:
Capital’s voracious appetite forces architecture into a regime of "never enough." The current realities of building involve extraction and exploitation, which, in turn, cause climate breakdown, environmental ruin, alienated labor conditions, and the destruction of local construction knowledge. But what if we could do architecture differently? What does non-extractivist architecture look like? In this book, Angelika Fitz and Elke Krasny introduce the concept of abundance to call for a paradigm shift in architecture. Using as its example the exceptional work of architect Anupama Kundoo, this book shows that non-extractivist and non-exploitative architecture is undeniably possible. Kundoo, born in Pune, India, weaves together innovative technological experimentation and traditional crafts. With careful consideration of local resources, building skills, climate, and environment, she makes buildings that embody spatial beauty and graceful materiality.

Summary:
The work of Modernist architect Carlo Scarpa (1906-1978) is exemplary of an in-between practice, which is neither architecture nor conservation, but rather, architecture in conversion, dependent upon time, weather, and tempo. This book discusses the notion of architecture in conversion, revealing it to be radically different from current conservation practices, and to entail more than a change of use. Scarpa’s work represents ‘a radical turn in how we see or understand something’. The significance of time, weather and tempo within Scarpa’s work, as well as the influences of artists such as Man Ray and Emilio Vedova and composer Luigi Nono, are revealed through a close analysis of Scarpa’s drawings and details from key buildings and their histories of multiple authorship. The book examines drawing as central to Scarpa’s practice: in lieu of creating physical models, his muti-directional drawings foreshadow the orbital movements of digital modeling techniques.

Summary:
Comparing the work of ''Archigram'' and ''High-Tech'' architects thematically, this book explores the historical and cultural context of London to reveal their influences and interconnections and why two such radical groups emerged from a seemingly conservative city. This book examines the relationships between the work of ''Archigram'' and that of the British ''High-Tech'' architects, groups that were based in London and developing in the 1960s and 70s. While one group consisted of academics and artists known for their humour and eccentricity and the other were a group of deadly serious architects emerging to international proliference, this book argues that they shared uncannily similar impulses. There is the self-evident commonality of language: overblown machines, kits-of-parts of pieces and components, and a disintegration of building as object in favour of the constituent elements. Underlying both movements is a mutual, undying optimism in technological process and technological expression. Set within the rich history and culture of London, the book makes its comparisons by exploring central shared ideas: utopia, engineering, theatricality, infrastructure and narrative, and the iconography of war machinery.
