Summary:
With a title that refers to the development of ideas through one’s own initiative, "Marble Fairbanks : bootstrapping" is an examination of the techniques of pattern and performance in the speculative and built work of the New York architecture firm. This book approaches those organizational issues with pictorial and written documentation of three recent architectural projects: Marble Fairbanks' proposal for the Fashion Institute of Technology Campus Extension in New York, Housing Ecologies, an urban housing scheme, and their award-winning entry for the Chicago Public Schools Competition. The complexity of these issues is also examined in a thought-provoking conversation with Marble Fairbanks and Reinhold Martin, editor of the journal Grey Room and author of The Organizational Complex. "Bootstrapping" concludes with architect Michael Bell’s essay on subjectivity, urbanism, and architecture in Marble Fairbanks' work, and is the latest addition to the Michigan Architecture Papers publication series of Charles and Ray Eames lectures given by contemporary architects.

Summary:
The Lentos Kunstmuseum in Linz by Weber + Hofer is a striking example of volumetric clarity and an ideal spatial concept. With a length of 130 meters and a width of 30 meters, the oscillating three-story glass cube fits in perfectly with the surrounding architectural landscape along the Danube, where it lies like a "glass ship" at anchor in Linz. The structure provides 8,000 square meters of space for internationally renowned art, from the classical modern period to the present, along with an underground library, a museum shop, a restaurant, a café, and a bar. In the Kunstmuseum Lentos, the award-winning Swiss architect team of Jürg Weber and Josef Hofer have realized an outstanding architectural design that meets the highest structural, technical, and aesthetic standards.

He is, however, less well known in Eurpoe. He is presently working on a design for a house in Seriphos, Greece. Lebbeus Woods on Kotoulas’ work: “… This is not an inhabitable site-specific architecture but one that is translatable, a numerical transference outside the material realm of building as an architecture about architecture.”

Folding is a relatively new trend in architecture. It is a very playful way of designing which offers free reign to spontaneity and surprise in the design process. The book "Folding Architecture – spatial, structural and organizational diagrams" offers insights into the possibilities of folding as well as results of the research conducted by the architectural faculty of the TU in Delft. The technique of folding in contemporary architecture is vividly illustrated with a survey of much-discussed concepts, projects and buildings in which this technique was applied. Now back in print.

Summary:
Since the beginning of the 1990s, Miroslav Šik has been recognised as one of the actively innovative and analytical spirits of the Swiss and German-speaking architectural discussion. His architecture is not spectacular, nor does he flirt with short-lived architectural trends. In a manner of speaking, Miroslav Šik seeks the subversive and powerful middle path between banal and over-ambitious architecture. His interest and attention is focused on the people who live in the buildings and populate the cites, and he is concerned with the necessary rather than the superfluous. The book introduces three recent works by the Zurich architect and professor at the ETH Zurich in subtle photographs by Christian Kerez and Walter Mayr, accompanied by plans. The high-quality texts draw attention to architectural cross-references and plumb the depths of the attributes of a powerful new whole that has emerged from a building complex. Selected texts by Miroslav Šik document the foundations of his rich theoretical basis.
