Summary:
Aditya Prakash (1924-2008) belonged to the first generation of Indian modernists that came into its own in the Nehruvian era. Built around a multi-disciplinary oeuvre that was unique amongst his peers, Prakash's life was dedicated to finding the 'one continuous line' which linked art - as the search for the beautiful, architecture - as the enabler of life, and planning - as the ethic of protecting the interests of poor. nterspersed with a series of visual essays, this book is conceived as an introduction to Prakash's vast body of work. Besides practicing architecture, he was an academic, a prolific painter, sculptor, furniture designer, stage set-designer, poet and public speaker. This volume documents Prakash's education as an architect in Delhi and London, his early modernist works, his deep artistic impulses, his love of theatre, and his efforts to rally a culture of academic inquiry. The narrative describes his successes and failures, his arguments for and against modernism, postmodernism and globalization, and his passion for sustainable urbanism, the animal and the acoustic. The book concludes with an interpretive essay on Prakash's life and legacy, along with illustrations of a portfolio of select works.

Each expertly staged model is pictured with the essential schemes necessary to understand the volumes portrayed. Francisco and Manuel Aires Mateus’ many years of experience in pedagogy and the use of models in practice are brought together in a manifesto which precedes the anthology of images. The importance of the model in the formation of architectural ideas and throughout the design process, as well as its potency as a standalone statement are highlighted. The evocative photographs in this book reveal abstract spaces produced by artistic interpretations of light, volume and materiality.

Summary:
''Working in Mumbai'' is a critical reflection on thirty years of the practice of RMA Architects. Rahul Mehrotra weaves a narrative to connect his multiple engagements in architectural practice, including teaching, research, documenting, writing and exhibiting since the establishment of the practice in 1990. The book is structured around the subjects of interior architecture, critical conservation, and work and living spaces that straddle the binaries of the global and the local as well as the rural and the urban. While the book is a portfolio of the selected works of RMA Architects, the projects are curated so as to unravel and clarify the challenges faced by architects in India and in several parts of the “majority” world where issues related to rapid urbanization and the impacts of global capital are among the many that dispute conventional models of practice. ''Working in Mumbai'' is used emblematically to interrogate the notion of context and understand how the practice evolved through its association with the city of Mumbai.

Summary:
Selected research projects and architecture exploring the role of design within complex social, political and environmental conditions Toshiko Mori is a New York-based architect and Professor in the Practice of Architecture at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design for many years. As a long-time member of the World Economic Forum's Global Agenda Council on the Future of Cities, Mori led research and inquiry into sustainable architecture, enhancing cities' livability, and creating efficient urban services. Mori is also on the board of Dassault Systems, a company connecting technology to environment and life science. She has also founded the platform VisionArc, a think tank dedicated to exploring the role of design within complex social and environmental issues. This book will focus on TMA's projects based on research, and the impact of socially valuable projects to society. The book will illustrate how the observation of the architect operates as opposed to how the imagination of the architect manifests itself.

Summary:
The architect Herman Hertzberger is one of the most important representatives of Dutch Structuralism. This movement, which emerged in 1960, is highly regarded in modern architecture. Structuralism takes as its starting point the idea that architecture should value the archetypal behaviors of humankind. Consequently, buildings should be inviting, and above all they must satisfy both the individual and the social needs of those who use them. Hertzberger gained international recognition for his office buildings, schools, and housing estates created between 1968 and 1990. In addition to fair-faced concrete and glass, they make use of precast concrete blocks, a “poor” construction material which contributes to their unique character. For this volume, photos by the Munich-based architectural photographer Klaus Kinold document Hertzberger’s masterpieces from their very earliest stages. Many of these buildings have since undergone significant changes, making Kinold’s images an important part of the historical record.
