Summary:
Frederick J. Kiesler - architect, sculptor, painter, designer, set designer and art historian. Kiesler was tireless in his pursuit of a radical new concept of interior spaces: his dream was a polydimensional living space, an organic continuum in which colour, form and light, combined with magical and mythical themes, would create a unique cosmos. His so-called Endless House stayed with him all his life; although it was never realised it still fascinated and influenced other architects and artists more than many 'real' 20th century buildings. The publication "Endless Space" has been produced in cooperation with the Austrian Frederick and Lillian Kiesler Private Foundation.

Summary:
This book takes a practical, design-oriented and code-based approach to designing wood structures. Taking an integrative view of structures, the book strives to present structural components and members in the context of the entire building, such that the foundation, walls, beams and roof all work together in providing strength. This is in contrast to existing books where the components are presented in an isolated framework. The book provides dozens of practical, worked examples useful for instructing students on the fundamentals while also serving as design aids for professional engineers working on real-world projects.

Paul Chan: 2000 words
$22.00
(available to order)
Summary:
The varied practice of Paul Chan (born 1973) includes paintings, drawings, video animations and font design, as well as critical writing. The characters in his works are animated beings, jerking and stuttering as they are violently thrust into the clumsy reel--or "real"--of history. Chan explores the intellectual and sexual animus that courses through our collective(...)

Summary:
The varied practice of Paul Chan (born 1973) includes paintings, drawings, video animations and font design, as well as critical writing. The characters in his works are animated beings, jerking and stuttering as they are violently thrust into the clumsy reel--or "real"--of history. Chan explores the intellectual and sexual animus that courses through our collective language and consciousness, drawing on sources as varied as the King James Bible, Marquis de Sade and Samuel Beckett. Part of the 2000 Words series, conceived and commissioned by Massimiliano Gioni, and published by the Deste Foundation for Contemporary Art, 2000 Words: Paul Chan presents the entirety of the artist's works in the Dakis Joannou Collection and includes an essay by Stephen Squibb that reveals the solitary image and its uncanny animation in Chan's work.

Summary:
"Make City" collects contributions from architects, planners, landscape designers and municipal policymakers on the crises facing contemporary cities, presenting a variety of strategies to reconfigure and reimagine urban life. The intertwined problems of continuous development and rising real estate prices are rendering cities increasingly uninhabitable for many, a situation that will continue to be exacerbated by the mounting pressure of climate change on metropolitan infrastructures. This volume proposes models of localized food production, community-centered planning and sustainable architecture design that renew and optimize existing structures in alternative models of urban economy. Developed in tandem with Berlin’s Make City festival, design proposals are displayed across over 350 colour illustrations and writings from contributors including AFF Architects, Anupama Kundoo, Michel Bouwens/P2P Foundation, Francesca Bria SESC, Tessy Britton, Bureau SLA, Marco Casagrande, Eva de Klerk, De Urbanisten, FAR frohn and Kraftwerk 1.

Summary:
This issue aims to connect two critical discourses about space that have so far been disassociated: architectural theories that point to the importance of real property as the fundamental unit of urban morphology and architectural typology, and Indigenous land claims which point to the violence of colonial land dispossession, through which this property was originally invented and formed. This research sees property delineation as a fundamental grammatical logic of the production of the space of nation, state and capital. The editors and contributors to this volume approach the intersection of Indigenous and settler viewpoints, as well as the interdisciplinary perspectives of both spatial delineators and critical commentators, in order to understand the deep connections between Indigenous dispossession and urban pathologies of gentrification, homelessness, systemically biased planning and urban alienation. The issue also addresses this connection in order to rethink and redraw land relations as a foundation for undoing this alienation and creating spaces that cultivate a caring relation with land, kin and strangers.
