Summary:
In Arlesheim near Basel, Switzerland, the architects Klaus Schuldt and Andreas Scheiwiller have constructed five two-storey villas on a communal plot of land - it is no coincidence that their minimalist appearances are reminiscent of the style developed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in the 1920s. Yet it is not just the variation of architectonic elements but also the(...)

Yet it is not just the variation of architectonic elements but also the arrangement of these houses on this rural site which make "Ensemble Habitat" so interesting. Striking a careful balance between the individual and the general, between diversity and simplicity, this small group of houses can be justifiably considered exemplary.

Summary:
Daniel Marques was born in 1950 in Aarau, Switzerland. He studied under Aldo Rossi and Dolf Schnebli at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and went on to found his own office in Lucerne in 1977. Besides working as an architect he has taught at various schools of architecture and in 2000 he became professor at the Technical University in Graz. This publication accompanies an exhibition on Daniel Marques' work at the Architecture Gallery Lucerne. Along with photographs by Hannes Henz, Zurich, it documents and provides in-depth analyses of five residential buildings, all of which have been realised in the last few years. Martin Steinmann commented "The reduction that determines the architecture of Daniele Marques - at least in these houses - turns out to be a method of providing the things -with intensity: by postponing the moment in which they transform into specific meanings."

Summary:
Pritzker prize winners Herzog & de Meuron and Swiss artist Rémy Zaugg join forces to create a striking yet functional building. From 1996-2000, architects Herzog & de Meuron built a new research centre together with a library, auditorium and cafeteria for the pharmaceutical company Roche in Basel. Situated on the outskirts of the town on the edge of the industrial area, the building was to include a closed section for laboratories yet should also be publicly accessible: the ideal starting point for an interdisciplinary solution. Artist Rémy Zaugg worked together with the architects developing the colours used. He created a dramatic blue wall which separates public and closed areas. This publication documents the entire project from its genesis to the completed construction using texts, sketches, plans, and photographs. More than a mere monograph, this book provides a glimpse into the creative collaboration occuring between architects and artists.

Summary:
The largely unknown oeuvre of the Philippine architect Leandro V. Locsin (1928-1994) embodies the search for identity in the built environment. Having completed his studies, Locsin opened his practice in 1953 in the capital Manila which, after the aerial attacks by the Allied forces for the liberation of the Philippines from Japanese occupation, had been almost completely destroyed. The reconstruction, as well as technical innovations and favorable political and economic conditions, made it possible for him to design a wide range and large number of projects, including hotels, commercial buildings, churches, cultural venues, and public buildings. His work combines inspiration from modernism with local traditions and comprises a total of 245 projects, of which more than half were completed. The book presents a selection of the most important buildings and projects.

Summary:
Almost all of the seventeen texts in this anthology revolve around the same topic: drawing. There are subtle variations in the inception and focus of each essay, but they can be read as a unique, continuous monologue that keeps going back to that same core idea, almost compulsively. Flores & Prats believe in the capacity of drawing by hand to generate multiple and complex strata of knowledge about a space or a place, so they use it to guide the successive steps in their design process. Their obsession with drawing is a form of optimistic resistance, founded on the belief that the tools of architectural representation, if used with intensity, rigour and passion, can still help us decipher the world that surrounds us.

Summary:
The Aedes exhibition and catalogue ''Two Towers,'' dedicated to Álvaro Siza, commemorates his 90th anniversary as one of the most important living architects and a major contributor to contemporary architecture. Siza is famous for his handmade sketches, in which he captures complex situations in order to ease their understanding and resolution. They establish a dialectic rapport between his creative intuition and the material detailing of quality construction. Both the catalog and exhibition illuminate Siza's passion for towers and his fascination with reaching for the sun, while simultaneously focusing on two case studies and their diverging traits: one is taller and the other is shorter, one is private, and the other is public, one is for dwelling, and the other is for protection, one is urban, and the other is rural, one is in reinforced concrete and the other in lightweight steel frame.

Dans cet ouvrage qui multiplie les régimes d’expression pour intéresser un large public, Michel Poivert, professeur, critique et commissaire d’exposition, s’interroge sur la manière dont l’architecture intègre le photographique au-delà de sa valeur d’usage: documenter, illustrer. Il explore de quelles manières l’architecture et la photographie peuvent transformer l’obsolescence en une nouvelle ère, celle de la régénération.

Au-delà de cette résidence, il sera question de retracer la longue carrière de Marcel Breuer, surtout connu pour ses chaises en acier tubulaire, mais aussi auteur de dizaines de bâtiments publics aux États-Unis et en Europe, dont le siège de l’Unesco à Paris, la station de ski de Flaine, et d’autant de maisons remarquables.

The volume explores her rich architectural oeuvre, her transnational experiences and professional networks, her political development as a Communist, and her current reception. It breaks through the mythology to present a rounded picture of Schütte-Lihotzky, an icon of architectural history.
