Summary:
Architects Frank Gehry (b. 1929) and Hans Scharoun (1893–1972) never met in person during Scharoun’s lifetime, yet two of their most famous buildings are intimately linked: Gehry’s Walt Disney Concert Hall, completed in Los Angeles in 2003, and Scharoun’s 1963 concert hall for the Berlin Philharmonic. Although constructed thousands of miles and decades apart from each other, the two buildings, located in what are now sister cities, share striking visual features, such as the combination of bold peaks with graceful sweeping curves. This catalog for a recent exhibition at the Stiftung Brandenburger Tor in Berlin takes the two concert halls as a jumping-off point to examine Scharoun’s influence on Gehry and uncover elements common to their work.

Summary:
Etymologically the term “intensity” refers to notions of measurement and quantity as well as strength and power depending on the context in which it is used. For this exhibition at Aedes Architecture Forum, the notion of “intensity” becomes the scale applied to architecture. “IntenCity” is articulated around a current and fundamental question: How can an increasing(...)

Summary:
Etymologically the term “intensity” refers to notions of measurement and quantity as well as strength and power depending on the context in which it is used. For this exhibition at Aedes Architecture Forum, the notion of “intensity” becomes the scale applied to architecture. “IntenCity” is articulated around a current and fundamental question: How can an increasing population and the resulting density and intensity be conducted by city planners and architects? As a way to answer this question, four key frames of intensity – history and city planning, architecture, landscape and flux – are used to highlight four projects: Espace Claude Monet in Rouen (2012), Pôle de commerces et de loisirs Confluence in Lyon (2012), Muse – Quartier de l’Amphithéâtre (2017) and Europea-Neo in Brussels (2025).

Comment réunir dans un nouveau lieu, l'histoire d'un continent et d'une idée ? Située à Bruxelles, dans le quartier européen, en plein cœur du parc Léopold, la Maison de l'histoire européenne a été inaugurée en 2017. Le concours portant sur la rénovation et l'extension d'un bâtiment historique en musée - ancien Institut dentaire George Eastman - a été remporté, en 2011, par les agences Chaix et Morel et Associés et JSWD Architekten. Sous la direction de Sophie Trelcat, l'ouvrage 'House of European History', conçu par les graphistes Baldinger et Vu-Huu, présente l'histoire du projet architectural, de sa conception à sa réalisation. / How can the history of a continent and an idea be brought together in a new place? In 2009 the European Parliament decided to create an institution dedicated to the history of Europe, an emblematic building located in the heart of the European Quarter in Brussels. The design, a transformation by the team of Chaix & Morel et Associés and JSWD Architekten of an Art Deco building from 1934, was finished in 2017. Their concept addressed how European history could find a spatially sensitive expression. This publication, authored by Sophie Trelcat and designed by Baldinger and Vu-Huu, presents the history of this seminal architectural project from conception to completion.

Summary:
Acclaimed architect David Adjaye is known for his artistic sensitivity and deft use of space and inexpensive, unexpected materials. With the hindsight of almost twenty years of practice and a raft of high-profile projects around the world? perhaps best symbolized by the National Museum for African American History and Culture in Washington, DC?this book looks back on the houses and buildings of his early career. Adjaye’s early commissions were the test sites for what would become his unique, celebrated, and highly sought-after brand of “critical regionalism.” From London to Brooklyn, in private houses and public buildings, his clever urban interventions abound: roof-level living space is added to a factory-turned-studio, a sunken courtyard encases a tower-like house, and basalt stone extends a basement dining area to a roofless gazebo. ''David Adjaye- Works'' brings together all of these early projects and more and presents them with new analyses and recently uncovered archival material, testifying to the originality of an architect at the height of his talents who is changing the face of our built world.

Summary:
Sauerbruch Hutton is an award-winning, international agency for architecture, urbanism and design. Its architecture is always in the context of the city and combines functionality with an ecological performance that goes far beyond purely technical aspects. Projects such as the police station in Berlin, the Federal Environment Agency in Dessau or the Sammlung Brandhorst Museum in Munich demonstrate a convincing use of materiality and colour. Founded in 1989 by Matthias Sauerbruch and Louisa Hutton, the agency today works on a wide variety of projects worldwide - including housing, museum, educational institution and office high-rise buildings -, impressing with precisely detailed, ecologically conscious, and urbanistically sophisticated designs. This monograph on the Sauerbruch Hutton agency looks behind the scenes, describes processes and comprises one thing in particular: many building details.

This book consists of articles and essays by architects and engineers that bear witness to Vanggaard’s engagement with architecture and structure, his ability to introduce dynamics, beauty, and strength in his projects. For him, chaos makes sense, and concepts are developed from a focused perception and an ability to develop calculation methods for complicated constructions.
