Summary:
Ryuji Fujimura questions Japan’s modernist post-war architectural paradigms in his work, repositioning architecture within its urban, economic and social forces. His design background has roots in both social and building engineering, and has come to define his own practice based on the notion of “architecture as critical engineering-ism”. The projects featured in this volume are carefully tailored to their contexts, clients and environmental conditions. In his design process, Fujimura studies a series of prototype models, each improving upon the last, until satisfaction with the form is reached. Here he describes and illustrates this narrative process of embryonic development.

Summary:
The Italian-Brazilian architect and designer Lina Bo Bardi (1914–92) forged a unique path with her bold, modern designs. Spanning architecture, stage design, fashion and furniture, her work drew inspiration from the International Style, which she translated into her own visual language. Fundamental to her work was her thoughtful engagement with her adopted country of Brazil—its culture, society, politics and indigenous design traditions—and her ideas about the social possibilities of design, and she expressed her sometimes radical views in her design work, exhibitions and writings. Published on the occasion of Lina Bo Bardi's hundredth birthday, this illustrated volume presents an overview of her oeuvre and highlights her iconic buildings: her home, the so-called Casa de Vidro, the Museo de Arte de São Paulo and the cultural center SESC Pompéia.
