Summary:
In his introductory essay on building in alpine areas, Otto Kapfinger brings out the common features in the architectural scenes of the two most western federal states in Austria – the Tyrol and Vorarlberg. At the same time he underlines the regional differences, considering the Rhine valley as opposed to the Inn valley. This book, written to accompany an international travelling exhibition, documents the most important examples of the architecture of the last ten years. The publication reveals that the architecture in the Austrian region of Vorarlberg is grounded in regional tradition. In recent years it has developed towards industrial building due to the changing social and economic situation. Tyrolean architecture, on the other hand, is a rather more recent phenomenon but can also be said to have made a significant contribution to contemporary building in its own right. Architects include : Baumschlager & Eberle; Arno Bereiter; Cukrowicz & Nachbaur; Dietrich & Untertrifaller; Georg Driendl; Hugo Dworzak; Roland Gnaiger ; Gohm.Hiessberger; Henke & Schreieck; Margarethe Heubacher-Sentobe; Hermann Kaufmann; Rainer Köberl; Christian Lenz; Peter Lorenz; Manzl & Sandner; Marte & Marte; Noldin & Noldin ; Johann Obermoser; Wolfgang Pöschl; Helmut Reitter; Riccione Architekten; Wolfgang Ritsch; Hanno Schlögl; Bruno Spagolla; Steinmayr & Mascher.

Summary:
This publication explores a paradigm shift in architecture, transitioning from abstract design to the artistry of construction and materials. Drawing its inspiration from the exhibition ‘'SUPER DANISH – Art and Craftsmanship in New Danish Architecture'’ in Aalborg, it delves into the innovative works of Danish architects who embrace resource-conscious practices. From detailed precision to elegantly weathered creations, these architects showcase a merger of sculptural form and material poetry. Contributing architects include Johansen Skovsted Arkitekter, Panum & Kappel, Lynge Lynge Arkitekter, Reværk, Hahn Lavsens, Jespersen Nødtvedt, Noaa, and several more.

Summary:
A quirky trend of building designs inspired by bizarre animals has emerged in the last few years. Why and how has this happened? Is it because of new technical possibilities in materials and structural engineering? Or is the answer to be found in new social preoccupations in science? After a brief look at the historical precedents, the book focuses on contemporary(...)

Summary:
A quirky trend of building designs inspired by bizarre animals has emerged in the last few years. Why and how has this happened? Is it because of new technical possibilities in materials and structural engineering? Or is the answer to be found in new social preoccupations in science? After a brief look at the historical precedents, the book focuses on contemporary examples from around the world and shows the various ways in which the organic/animal forms inform the architectural ones. Featured architects include Frank Gehry, Michael Sorkin, and Greg Lynn.

Summary:
"Our Voices: Indigeneity and Architecture" is an exciting advance in the field of architecture offering multiple indigenous perspectives on architecture and design theory and practice. Indigenous authors from Aotearoa NZ, Canada, Australia, and the USA explore the making and keeping of places and spaces which are informed by indigenous values and identities. The lack of publications to date offering an indigenous lens on the field of architecture belies the rich expertise found in indigenous communities in all four countries. This expertise is made richer by the fact that this indigenous expertise combines both architecture and design professional practice, that for the most part is informed by Western thought and practice, with a frame of reference that roots this architecture in the indigenous places in which it sits.

Summary:
"Confabulation" is a drawing together through storytelling. Fundamental to our perception, memory, and thought is the way we join fractured experiences to construct a narrative. Confabulations: Storytelling in Architecture weaves together poetic ideas, objects, and events and returns you to everyday experiences of life through juxtapositions with dreams, fantasies, and hypotheticals. It follows the intellectual and creative framework of architectural cosmopoesis developed and practiced by the distinguished thinker, architect, and professor Dr. Marco Frascari, who thought deeply about the role of storytelling in architecture.
