Summary:
"The Empty Room", in the absence of any visual materials, was a written manifesto composed of RZLBD’s poems and collection of quotes intended to portray the room and the emptiness as the essence of architecture. Now, "100 Rooms" complements our own blurry images of the empty room with a visual guide. Each spread consists of a plan and a physical model of a room, which is(...)

Summary:
"The Empty Room", in the absence of any visual materials, was a written manifesto composed of RZLBD’s poems and collection of quotes intended to portray the room and the emptiness as the essence of architecture. Now, "100 Rooms" complements our own blurry images of the empty room with a visual guide. Each spread consists of a plan and a physical model of a room, which is an excavation of the geometry and order inherent within the square. It holds no design intention — no scale or function — but simply one of infinite possibilities that emerge from a square. This framework suggests that the formal expression of a room comes from within. With these visual references, one can begin to imagine many approximations to the empty room. A line on paper is always less, as Kahn says, but through these measurable means, the immeasurable idea of the empty room will be formed in one’s mind.

Summary:
When Marjorie Hill graduated in 1920 as Canada's "first girl architect," she was entering a profession that had been established in Canada just 30 years earlier. For the Record, the first history of women architects in Canada, provides a fascinating introduction to early women architects, presented within the context of developments in both Europe and North America. Profiles of the women who graduated from the School of Architecture at the University of Toronto between 1920 and 1960 are illustrated with photographs of their work and include archival material that has never before been published. The final chapter on contemporary women in architecture showcases contributions by leading women architects across the country, from Halifax to Vancouver to Iqaluit. For the Record also provides current information on schools of architecture in Canada and includes a list of other resources to encourage young women who are thinking of pursuing careers in architecture. Foreword by Eva Matsuzaki.

With texts by Peter Buchanan, Brian Carter, Thomas Fisher, Kenneth Frampton, Karl Habermann, Robert Ivy, Christine Macy, Robert McCarter, Juhani Pallasmaa. The Ghost International Architectural Laboratory, better known as 'Ghost Lab' or 'Ghost', is the research laboratory of MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects. The Ghost Lab began as a critique of architectural education in North America in the 1990s and represents an alternative to the current standard of practice. Ghost is rooted in the hands-on master-builder tradition, emphasizing an intimate interaction between master and apprentice in response to the increasingly virtual nature of architectural design.

L’intérêt de ce livre est double, en ce que non seulement il permet de reconstituer la carrière de l’un de ses nombreux architectes invisibles qui ont tant contribué à notre architecture et à donner un visage propre à une région, mais aussi parce qu’il propose différentes voies d’interprétation de son travail dont le vocabulaire formel est en constante évolution. Un travail de terrain et d’archives, doublé d’attention et de passion, est à la base des interventions des différents chercheurs qui contribuent à cet ouvrage. Grâce à leurs efforts, le nom de Richer résonnera de nouveau dans le paysage architectural québécois.

The firms included in this edition, with a few exceptions, collectively represent the youngest firms in the four iterations of Twenty + Change. Selected by a curatorial committee from more than 160 submissions, these projects by thirteen organizations engage the public realm in meaningful ways, posit new models for collective living and urban infill, advance the role of sustainability and vernacular craft, and explore opportunities for speculative and self-initiated commissions.

Summary:
Norway-based Canadian architect Todd Saunders has a unique understanding of the arctic landscape. His designs, set in some of the most remote locations on earth, splice modern sculptural forms with a deeply rooted respect for nature. His care for the natural landscape can be seen in his work, such as the Fogo Island Inn and the artists studios in Newfoundland. Rather than imposing themselves upon the countryside and coast, Saunders’s buildings seek a sensitive accommodation within the topography, among the icy flora, fauna, and treescapes of the landscapes they inhabit. This volume focuses on Saunders’s residential designs and includes eleven of his most recent projects across Scandinavia and Canada, photographed amid their dramatic landscapes. Sections on process and ways of working, as well as Saunders’s inspirations and design philosophy are interwoven in separate sections, which include drawings, plans, and photography.
