Summary:
The successful combination of a regional building style of sophisticated simplicity with sustainable construction methods has made the architecture of Vorarlberg (Austria) a model for the rest of the world. This book presents particularly successful projects from recent years involving various building types and portrays their development from design idea to built detail. The documented structures by Cukrowicz Nachbaur, Christian Lenz, Oskar Leo Kaufmann + Albert Rüf, Hermann Kaufmann, Dietrich Untertrifaller, Baumschlager Eberle, Marte.Marte, and Martin Rauch place the focus on their energy strategy and formally ambitious construction methods. All of the plans and detail drawings were specially prepared for the book, which makes it easy to compare the projects.

Summary:
Ever since anthropology has existed as a discipline, anthropologists have thought about architectural forms. This book provides the first overview of how anthropologists have studied architecture and the extraordinarily rich thought and data this has produced. With a focus on domestic space - that intimate context in which anthropologists traditionally work - the book explains how anthropologists think about public and private boundaries, gender, sex and the body, the materiality of architectural forms and materials, building technologies and architectural representations. Each chapter uses a broad range of case studies from around the world to examine from within anthropology what architecture 'does' - how it makes people and shapes, sustains and unravels social relations.

In the resulting book, Hertzberger, Anna Heringer, Jean-Philippe Vassal and other contributors champion architecture that is low-impact and adaptable. They call for structures that place human comfort and functionality above decoration and egotistical statements.

Summary:
Lisbeth Sachs (1914–2002) caused a sensation at the very beginning of her professional career: freshly graduated, she won the 1939 competition for the Kurtheater Baden. With the building, opened in 1952, she expressed her lucid architectural position and experienced what it meant to be one of the first independent Swiss female architects in a male-dominated profession. For Sachs, construction was a procedural act that extended from craftsmanship to the suitability of materials and finally to people’s appropriation of spaces. She sought to achieve architecture that floated, emerging organically from the topography and following environmentally and socially compatible principles. Her interdisciplinary understanding of architecture as applied ecology makes her work and thinking more relevant now than ever.
