It is a search for a greater understanding of one's own working processes; processes that in a practice such as theirs are often quite automatic, yet which need to be called into question each time new projects are undertaken.

This volume is an attempt to take a closer look at the planning and execution stages of past and ongoing projects of SAM architects. It is a search for a greater understanding of one's own working processes; processes that in a practice such as theirs are often quite automatic, yet which need to be called into question each time new projects are undertaken. In line with this premise, the limited number of projects selected for this publication can be seen as prototypical of the development process pursued by SAM's architectural practice. They exemplify their inquiring and open approach, and the breadth of challenges they face. SAM see architecture not as a style reflected in the repeated production of images, but as an evolutionary process - a process that is subject to the logic of design and construction.

The only Austrian winner of the Pritzker Prize (1985) and president of the architecture biennale in Venice, the Viennese architect Hans Hollein (born 1934) has been a leading exponent of postmodernism in architecture.

Yet his global stature as an architect has overshadowed his design work of the 1970s and 1980s and his artistic work of the 1960s and 1970s, despite past exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. This richly illustrated, comprehensive catalogue, and the exhibition it accompanies at the Neue Galerie in Graz, is the first retrospective of Hollein as a truly universal artist and a renaissance man for the digital age. It is also the first to present Hollein's oeuvre as a whole: his work as artist, designer and architect, but also as theoretician, curator, teacher and collaborator with such artists as Christo and Claes Oldenburg.

Hartman of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM), combines the early Christian symbol of the fish with an innovative structure made of glass, wood and concrete. A glazed, bivalve exterior envelops the building, while a layer of fritted glass diffuses light and heat. Inside, the vaulted wooden ceiling soars 130 feet upwards, where an oculus opens out to the sky. The unique Omega window behind the altar was created with the help of new technology developed specifically for the cathedral: an image of the Romanesque relief of Christ from the tympanum of Chartres Cathedral was digitized and rendered as laser-perforated holes in an aluminum panel, creating a 60-foot pixilated image.

Summary:
Throughout the past 15 years, Siv Helen Stangeland and Reinhard Kropf have been at the forefront of “relational design”--an architectural philosophy that combines human, environmental and methodological factors. Relational Spaces traces this approach through projects such as Pulpit Rock Mountain Lodge, Geopark and their contribution to Manifesta 7.

Though it is widely held that Stirling took a mid-career turn toward postmodernism, Lawrence shows that he was undeniably modern throughout his career. She clarifies the ways in which Stirling understood modernism as inextricably linked to the past and placed his own work in what he termed a "dialogue with architectural tradition."
