Summary:
This first monograph compiles 13 pieces by the Dutch-born artist Jan Hendrix related to his architecture and urban projects. Based in Mexico since 1978, Hendrix has worked across a variety of media from sculptures, to photographs to artist’s books. This collection of his monumentally scaled, intricate perforated metal screens shows his transition from two to three dimensions. Either as functional screens for lighting in large civic projects, exterior building treatments or stand-alone installations in the manner of Dan Graham, Hendrix’s art has transformed itself to architecture. The natural patterns and fractal geometries of his recent works sing in this generously illustrated, linen-bound volume, accompanied by essays on Hendrix’s relationship to historical movements like Jugendstil and individual project profiles on each included work.

Summary:
Attention, selection and adaptation are the processes Michel Rojkind proposes in this spirited manifesto as key elements of his approach, addressing the architectural solutions to current problems in an increasingly complex and dynamic context. Alongside multifocal analysis from Alejandro Hernández Gálvez and conversations with Bjarke Ingels, Paul Nakazawa and Alejandro Aravena, Rojkind links concepts, experiences and opinions with intuition and sensitivity. His twisting, performative parametric forms take on new substance as Rojkind concludes that the best architects are not simply builders their attentive and focused reading of contemporary society is crucial to their craft.

Featuring more than 20 works by Japanese architect Koh Kitayama, this compact monograph covers his practice over a twelve-year period beginning in 2002.
