Summary:
The eponymous catalogue for an exhibition by Swiss architects Gramazio & Kohler in collaboration with systems engineer Raffaello D'Andrea, shown at the Frac Centre in Orléans. The book presents a fascinating exploration of their perspectives and multidisciplinary interests, ranging from computational design and robots to material innovation, plus research on architecture, system design and autonomous robotic technologies. Through detailed diagrams and texts, it gives insight into the exhibitions realisation in which an architectural installation was constructed by flying robots and reveals radical new ways of both thinking about and materialising architecture.

Something fantastic ; a manifesto by three young architects on worlds, people, cities, and houses
$36.50

Summary:
Something Fantastic is about architecture. It is about the future. It is about the environment, energy and politics. It is about beautiful things. It is about being naïve enough to ask the right questions. It isn’t about being hip or calculated, or about posturing.

Summary:
Something Fantastic is about architecture. It is about the future. It is about the environment, energy and politics. It is about beautiful things. It is about being naïve enough to ask the right questions. It isn’t about being hip or calculated, or about posturing. Three young architects, Elena Schuetz, Julian Schubert, and Leonard Streich, lay out a manifesto for increased consciousness in thought and action. Plans and proposals for architecture ranging from the built to the utopian engage this spatial inquiry into the possibilities in the real world.

Summary:
Le Plan-Obus, avec son viaduc habitable parcourant librement l’admirable site d’Alger la Blanche, a été qualifié par l’historien Italie Manfedo Tafuri d’”hypothèse théorique la plus achevée de l’urbanisme moderne”. Ici en effet, Le Corbusier livre une de ses contributions les plus radicales et les plus intrigante, avec une Projet -Obus qui n’a cessé dévoiler pendant la décennie des années 1930, sans réussir à s’imposer. La succession des variantes témoigne d’une volonté de penser simultanément l’héritage et le devenir : la Casbah et la ville coloniale avoisinante l’immeuble viaduc surmonté de son autoroute et le gratte ciel du nouveau centre.

Summary:
Wilkinson perceives the landscape of Singapore for the lush fertile rainforest that it is: a vast Henri Rousseau painting in which he can build. In his houses, the boundaries between inside and outside are blurred, a reciprocal relationship with the landscape is established, and a tropical ideal has been created. The architecture is always expressive and each of Wilkinson’s houses is defined by a set of formal gestures that are both playful and practical: a tactile indulgence is always underpinned by a commitment to sustainability and respect for the environment. Landscaping, planting and the use of water are crucial to these houses, which draw upon the whimsy and decorative detailing of Arts and Crafts architecture, and the spatial freedom of such architects as Schindler and Wright. This monograph feature twenty-one of Wilkinson’s houses, built over the last decade. Each project is illustrated by colour photography, and is documented with formal drawings, concept sketches and project descriptions. An introductory essay examines the architecture in the context of 21st century Singapore, and documents Wilkinson’s background, influences and design philosophy.

Summary:
From 2008 to 2010, Singapore-based WOHA Architects completed thirteen projects, all of them significant public buildings. This monograph details each of these buildings, and examines the theoretical evolution and practical experience. The personal backgrounds and early projects of Wong Mun Summ and Richard Hassell, who began the partnership in 1994, are documented in order to explain their unflinching commitment to innovation and sustainability. Forming a case study for early 21st century architecture, the recent works of WOHA have presented ingenious solutions to the problems of high-density living and environmental sustainability.
