Summary:
The projects of David Chipperfield Architects stand for clarity and reduction. Founded in London in 1985, the architecture firm is now working in several countries and on different continents. Its striking designs are characterized by the fact that they do without eccentric gestures. Instead, carefully coordinated materials, proportions and forms create a unity in which old and new, tradition and innovation are on a par with each other. This monograph documents the sophisticated solutions of 23 international projects realised by David Chipperfield Architects London, Berlin, Milan, and Shanghai. The selection from the firm’s extensive portfolio presents different building typologies and construction tasks, be it new buildings, restoration, extensions or interiors. A view behind the scenes retells the challenge of major architectural milestones.

Summary:
With Neri and Hu Design and Research Office, the Chinese avantgarde in architecture, research and teaching, product and interior design has arrived in Europe. This publication accompanies the exhibition "Reflective Nostalgia" presented at the Aedes Architecture Forum (Berlin), which aimed to highlight the way in which Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu examine the historical and the contemporary as well as the listed and the everyday and to transform them into new uses in a respectful and future-oriented manner. Their transdisciplinary design approach is in the DNA of the studio. The success of the broad spectrum of their work is reflected in numerous international awards. The exhibition installation featured architectural models, photographs and videos, as well as a selection of furniture, showcasing Neri and Hu's alternative reading of historical contexts, including all the contradictions and details, as well as the unexpected spatial compositions with which they respond.

Summary:
Construire une densité acceptable, désirable, tel est l'objet du travail d'Ingrid Taillandier et de l'agence ITAR, qui met cette notion de l'urbanisme durable à l'épreuve de l'habitabilité pour en faire une évidence. La morphologie idéale, c’est l'habile maîtrise des contraintes pour en faire des leviers de qualité car construire selon ses règles ne doit pas se faire au détriment de la qualité. La densité proposée par ITAR est fondamentalement raisonnée, elle est à échelle humaine et devient celle des possibles, elle offre du vide, de l'accès au ciel et des espaces communs pour fédérer. Un premier ouvrage porte sur le 88 boulevard Ney à Paris 18e, réponse à la sous-densification des grands ensembles des années 1960. Un deuxième ouvrage porte sur le 72 rue Mstislav Rostropovitch à Clichy-Batignolles à Paris 17e et un troisième sur le 222 cours Lafayette à Lyon Part-Dieu. Lectures croisées, points de vue confrontés et vies partagées, les trois ouvrages interrogent la densité au prisme des habitants en montrant leur appropriation des lieux et en dévoilant des formes enviables de la vie urbaine.

Summary:
Dick van Gameren, a partner with the Dutch architecture firm Mecanoo, has engaged in housing design for the past 25 years through his work as an architect as well as in his research and teaching at TU Delft’s Global Housing Study Center. In this book, he presents around 40 of his own projects, through concise texts and photographs with explanatory captions as well as plans and drawings. The projects are grouped to illustrate seven specific aspects of housing design: Streets and Squares, Courtyards and Patios, Gardens, Halls, the Fireplace, Walls, and Roofs. Together, they constitute a multifaceted catalog of housing typologies. The author explores evolutions in residential architecture in the Netherlands. He positions his own concepts in the context of these developments and expands on what he considers the key factors of good housing design. He places particular focus on affordable housing, a pressing issue in so many countries and metropolitan areas around the world.

Summary:
La Fábrica is one of Ricardo Bofill’s most iconoclastic creations. A former cement factory on the outskirts of Barcelona, serendipitously discovered while driving, the building became the centre of the late Catalan architect’s life, serving both as his home and as the headquarters of his practice since 1973. Here, Ricardo created a world of his own, exposing the concrete forms from beneath years of dust and smoke, encouraging nature back onto the structure, and fine-tuning the balance between its monumental scale and a delicate, human sensibility, in one of the earliest examples of the reuse of an industrial building—and it’s still changing. This new edition expands on the book originally published in 2018, featuring exclusive archival imagery courtesy of RBTA and an expansive selection of photographs taken by Nacho Alegre on his visits to La Fábrica over the last decade. He returned in November 2022 to document the building in its current state, closing the book with 32 pages of otherwise unseen images—a portrait of Ricardo’s most cherished work at a moment of profound transformation. With an introduction by Pablo Bofill, the book also features an interview with Ricardo himself by Barcelona-based architects Arquitectura-G and Guillermo López, an extended version of the conversation originally published in issue #11 of Apartamento magazine.
