Summary:
Until now, the book market has primarily dealt with the popular topic of living by the sea with publications that illustrate the location’s aesthetic appeal. This book goes further to focus on the design, constructional, and technical possibilities that permit one to react to the special conditions of locations by the sea. In an introductory section, the author sets forth the principal aspects that fundamentally affect architectural design for this construction task: the geography and geology of the site, climatic conditions, and durability of materials, but also such aesthetic factors as light, landscape, and position, all of which play a special role in approaches to living by the sea. In keeping with this, the following project section, with twenty-five international examples, is organized according to the type of relationship the houses have with the sea: right by the sea, above the sea, or in the sea. The volume uses texts, detailed project information, drawings, and striking photographs to present exemplary design approaches taken by contemporary architects, including Tadao Ando, David Chipperfield, and Steven Holl. Christine Desmoulins is a journalist and architecture critic. She regulary publishes articles in noted architecture journals, including d'Architectures, Construction Moderne, and Abitare, and is the author of numerous books on architecture.

Summary:
Le Corbusier’s Modulor – a fundamental work in the history of architecture – now available in a beautiful facsimile edition. In the years 1942 to 1948, Le Corbusier developed a system of measurements which became known as "Modulor". Based on the Golden Section and Fibonacci numbers and also using the physical dimensions of the average human, Modulor is a sequence of measurements which Le Corbusier used to achieve harmony in his architectural compositions. Le Modulor was published in 1950 and after meeting with success, Le Corbusier went on to publish Modulor 2 in 1955. In many of Le Corbusier’s most notable buildings, including the Chapel at Ronchamp and the Unité d’habitation, evidence of his Modulor system can be seen. These two volumes form an important and integral part of Le Corbusier’s theoretical writings.

Summary:
This volume is a revised and expanded version of a special issue of the journal October (Winter 1997) that was devoted to the work of the Situationist International (SI). The first section of the issue contained previously unpublished critical texts, and the second section contained translations of primary texts that had previously been unavailable in English. The emphasis was on the SI’s profound engagement with the art and cultural politics of their time (1957–1972), with a strong argument for their primarily political and activist stance by two former members of the group, T. J. Clark and Donald Nicholson-Smith. Guy Debord and the Situationist International supplements both sections. It reprints important, hard to find essays by Giorgio Agamben, Libero Andreotti, Jonathan Crary, Thomas Y. Levin, Greil Marcus, and Tom McDonough and doubles the number of translations of primary texts, which now encompass a broader and more representative range of the SI’s writings on culture and language. In a field still dominated by hagiography, the critical texts were selected for their willingness to confront critically the history and legacy of the SI. They examine the group within the broader framework of the historical and neo-avant-gardes and, beyond that, the postwar world in general. The translations trace the SI’s reflections on the legacy of the avant-garde in art and architecture, particularly on the linguistic and spatial significance of montage aesthetics. Many of the translated works are by Guy Debord (1932–1994), the impresario of the SI, especially known for his book "The Society of the Spectacle".

Summary:
Embracing one's own traditions is not a backward turn. Instead, it represents the chance to obtain a European identity, which after the erratic attemps at finding form in past decades can now be developed further in a new continuity. The works of Ortner & Ortner exhibit this clearly. Following their Primer of Architecture, Ortner & Ortner new provide a compendium of their buildings and designs for 'European culture'. Presented are projects in three areas: theaters, museums, and libraries. The projects begin with the experimental ventures from the Haus-Rucker-Co era and end cultural buildings that are among the most significant internationally. 'European culture' is an exemplary situation in which the old and new concur in an unparalleled wealth of features and are then reunited in a new blend. A comprehensive text section with contributions by Manuela Hötzl, Ernst Hubeli, Bart Lootsma, Sophie Lovell, and Laurids Ortner focuses on selected projects, grasping the ingredients of this European blend.

Summary:
Inscribed with the quote, “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly / what is essential is invisible to the eye,” by writer and pilot Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Robert Frank's handcrafted 1952 book, Black White and Things, was made in an edition of three identical copies designed by Werner Zryd, each with a spiral binding containing original photographs of Frank's travels to cities including Paris, New York, Valencia and St. Louis. First reprinted for an exhibition at the National Gallery in Washington, D.C., in 1994, this edition has now been designed in a smaller format by Frank. The three categories “black,” “white” and “things,” are shaped more by mood than subject matter: vastly different images—Frank's first wife reclining with their newborn baby, peasants squatting against a flaking wall in Peru and a business man strolling past a snow-filled tree in London—are all gathered in the “white” section, for example.

Summary:
Constant change is what marks the history of the European city. Over centuries, architecture’s reactions to social disruptions?natural disaster, plague, or war?have fashioned the city into an engine of civilization. And bound up with this has been the promise of economic independence, social cohesion, and individual freedom. Now fundamental challenges, such as climate change, are bringing cities face to face with new transformations that call into question the continuity and sustainability of the ethical foundations underpinning urban ways of life. Bold and decisive steps are needed. How far can urban planning, landscape planning, and architecture foster the vital processes of change? How can the city offset possible losses caused by altered lifestyles, integrate new technologies, or rehearse new forms of behaviour and ultimately sublimate them into a functioning culture? In this volume, the members of the Architecture Section of the Akademie der Künste Berlin and their invited guests from all over Europe introduce their positions by means of projects, visions, and manifestos.

Summary:
The American Fred Sandback (1943–2003), regarded as one of the major sculptors of his generation, had from the beginning of his art career initially used drawings to formulate on paper his ideas of sculptural volumes. Soon he went from depicting isolated elements to thinking of sculpture in relationship to space and to exploring its possibilities on paper. In the 1980s, Sandback expanded his drawing vocabulary to include work in acrylic, in the pochoir technique or in pastel, which look much more pictorial in contrast to his earlier works on paper. The issue was now less about conceiving sculptures and more about modulating space. As regards sculpture, Sandback no longer thought of it as a given spatial volume, but as a sensual phenomenon per se, which he explored in the drawing. In his late drawings, Sandback moved away from the conditions of a coherent space in order to conceive of sculptures that are boundless from all sides. Only a specific section of the whole is intimated in the drawing, for which Sandback invented unusual techniques: actual incisions instead of drawn lines, for instance, or painterly traces on transparent film. This publication of Sandback’s drawings assembles works from over thirty years, supplemented by sculpture.

Summary:
This issue of 2G is dedicated to the work of Texas-based architect Carlos Jiménez and includes unpublished projects such as the competition proposal for the Arrecife's waterfront in Lanzarote, Canary Islands and the Cummins Engine Distributorship Facility Prototypes. The architectural practice of Carlos Jiménez now spans almost twenty years, and yet it is still a young practice by a young architect. Jiménez began to build the moment he finished school; his buildings have gathered their meaning in use and simple presence. "Buildings bleed," says Jiménez; their meaning is evolutionary and they acquire content in every context they partake in. The introduction by Michael Bell titled "Houston, Texas and the Architecture of Carlos Jiménez", analyzes how the architect's practice has made use of given conditions, sites and intellectual histories, showing that the multi-faceted depth of Jiménez's practice is in large part due to his diligent and empathetic care for the milieu that he works within. This publication presents fourteen recent works and projects with abundant graphic and photographic documentation. The introduction by Luis Fernández-Galiano weaves biographical insights with Jiménez's lyrical and personal architectural language, emphasizing the importance of memory in his work. The 'Nexus' section includes a text by Carlos Jiménez titled "Memory, a City, and the Need for Poetry".

This issue of 2G is dedicated to the work of Texas-based architect Carlos Jiménez and includes unpublished projects such as the competition proposal for the Arrecife's waterfront in Lanzarote, Canary Islands and the Cummins Engine Distributorship Facility Prototypes. The architectural practice of Carlos Jiménez now spans almost twenty years, and yet it is still a young practice by a young architect. Jiménez began to build the moment he finished school; his buildings have gathered their meaning in use and simple presence. "Buildings bleed," says Jiménez; their meaning is evolutionary and they acquire content in every context they partake in. The introduction by Michael Bell titled "Houston, Texas and the Architecture of Carlos Jiménez", analyzes how the architect's practice has made use of given conditions, sites and intellectual histories, showing that the multi-faceted depth of Jiménez's practice is in large part due to his diligent and empathetic care for the milieu that he works within. This publication presents fourteen recent works and projects with abundant graphic and photographic documentation. The introduction by Luis Fernández-Galiano weaves biographical insights with Jiménez's lyrical and personal architectural language, emphasizing the importance of memory in his work. The 'Nexus' section includes a text by Carlos Jiménez titled "Memory, a City, and the Need for Poetry".
