Summary:
Si les chantiers construisent les édifices, c’est le discours qui construit l’architecture. Le récit à la base de l’œuvre de Vacchini est synthétisé dans cette publication à travers la présentation inédite de dessins sélectionnés suivant le critère graphique développé par l’architecte lui-même au cours des années. Environ vingt ans après leur création et dix ans après la disparition de Livio Vacchini, ses dessins se présentent avec la force des icônes. Vacchini a choisi de réduire le pouvoir évocateur et séducteur du dessin pour rechercher ce qui le précède. Le dessin n’est pas considéré comme habilité représentative, descriptive ou expressive, mais comme capacité logique, comme synthèse, comme possibilité de réduire à l’essentiel. On ne peut pas se passer du dessin, mais on peut en réduire au minimum les signes, pour tenter de saisir ce qui donne naissance aux conditions même de possibilité du projet et laisser le phénomène se présenter dans toute son évidence.

Summary:
Hans Scharoun is one of the most important architects of the 20th century; as a proponent of organic architecture, he created unconventional and imaginative buildings which adapt to users' needs in a dynamic way. His oeuvre includes family residences and housing estates but also encompasses the German embassy in Brazil, and urban icons such as the Berlin Philharmonie. The book, a cooperation with Baukunstarchiv (the architecture archive) of the Akademie der Künste, Berlin, documents the entire range of known completed buildings by Scharoun, including, for the first time, early works in East Prussia. The specially taken photographs by Carsten Krohn, together with the historic photographs and plans from the Hans-Scharoun-Archive offer a new overview of this expressive organic architecture.

Summary:
In 2018, Germany will have been unified for 28 years, which is exactly as long as the inner German border existed (1961-1989). In the German Pavilion at the 2018 Architecture Biennale in Venice, GRAFT Architects Lars Krückeberg, Wolfram Putz and Thomas Willemeit, together with German politician Marianne Birthler investigate the effects of the separation and the process of healing as dynamic, spatial phenomena. The accompanying publication focuses on outstanding urban design and architectural examples of the former inner German border that engage with the issues of separation and fusion. One focus is on the former Berlin Wall. Numerous essays by architects, urban designers, and political scientists examine the urban manifestations of this development, which can also be seen elsewhere.

Summary:
How can architecture exist as an art form in an increasingly technocratic world? How can architects convert their designs into cost-efficient and economic buildings? In eight uncompromising projects, Gert Wingårdh presents his personal answers. The range of projects starts with simple tasks, such as a water tower and a bus stop. These are contrasted by the artistically designed Aula Medica of the Karolinska Institutet and the Naturum museum and visitor center in Gällivare in the north of Sweden, the renovation of the National Museum and the extension to the Liljevalchs Konsthall. An afterword by Mårten Castenfors, Director of Liljevalchs Konsthall, rounds off the personal comments by the architect on his projects, which are illustrated in great detail with hand sketches, photographs and drawings.

Summary:
With a portfolio of hundreds of housing projects, Vandkunsten Architects is renowned for designing quality spaces for affordable living. This volume is part of a series about projects by the Danish firm that are representative of its work throughout the years. Ten ongoing or recent projects are selected that feature social, minimal, exclusive, and quite ordinary settings in which people live, ranging from container residences and social housing to luxury living in Oslo Fjord. Modest budgets call for efficient construction techniques, yet the office pursues maximum architectural freedom in its designs, whether using prefab timber-frame box modules, solid wood, or concrete elements.
