Summary:
The sampling of identical elements along with close attention to the choice of materials and issues of sustainability, are themes which consistently return in the architectural designs of Branimir Medic and Pero Puljiz. The two architects, both trained in Croatia and The Netherlands, have followed their own unusual, yet distinct paths since winning the Prix de Rome in the early nineties, which has included partnerships in office of Architekten Cie in Amsterdam. ‘Different Repetitions’ demonstrates through texts and images their multi-sided design talent but also the general cohesiveness of their projects undertaken from the office building Acanthus in Amsterdam to the Cultural Centre in Tianjin, China.

Summary:
Magnago Lampugani’s slender Fabrikstrasse 12 construction gleams in the rays of sunlight without any glare. The white Carrara marble, blue awnings and delicate window parapets radiate lightness and joie de vivre – a style which also infuses the Dodici – the restaurant included in the project, whose colour scheme, furnishings and wall’s hanging with old photographs, greet its guests. The architect’s refined design for the Novartis Campus which also includes office spaces is thoroughly examined here. Colour photographs are presented alongside detailed plans, elevations, and essays written by specialists on specific aspects of the building, including signage, building services and work places.
