Summary:
A "new alliance" is being forged between designers and commercial property developers, who are championing progressive design, in projects as diverse as apartment blocks, houses, hotels and offices. While some architects are taking a proactive role in development, others are cutting out a new position for themselves as designer-developers. This is all happening at a time(...)

Summary:
A "new alliance" is being forged between designers and commercial property developers, who are championing progressive design, in projects as diverse as apartment blocks, houses, hotels and offices. While some architects are taking a proactive role in development, others are cutting out a new position for themselves as designer-developers. This is all happening at a time that property developers are starting to recognise the added value that an architect can bring to a scheme. By taking a truly international look at the projects architects and developers are achieving together, this publication explores the economic and demographic opportunities that are now driving architect-developer alliance in cities as diverse as Amsterdam, Hong Kong, London, Malmo, Melbourne, Montréal, New York, Phoenix and Tokyo. As architects and property developers break boundaries together, they are also beginning to transcend an established pattern of notorious and longstanding ill will. Could this herald a new age of economic saviness in architecture and an appreciation of design input in development?

Summary:
French-born artist Valerie Galloway graduated from the University of Arizona in 1987 with a B.F.A. in photography, living in New York for many years before settling in Tucson, Arizona. Galloway’s practice includes photography, painting and mixed media, with a focus on nudes, street photography in New York and Paris, and Tucson’s Sonoran Desert. The 32 hand-colored, toned gelatin silver photographs featured in "Rêver dans le désert" demonstrate her disparate styles: the voyeurism of Eugene Atget, the inexplicability of Man Ray, and the furtive aimlessness of the French New Wave. These images capture both fleeting French cultural references and timeless desert topographical references, each paying homage to the surrealists of the 1930s. "Rêver dans le désert" is bound in coffee-colored silk boards with contrasting linen spine, and beautifully printed on natural textured art paper. This first monograph is published to coincide with solo exhibitions of the artist’s work in Milan and Tokyo. This first edition is limited to 500 copies.

Summary:
Comprised of two steel and concrete towers outfitted with 140 prefabricated living capsules, the ''Nakagin Capsule Tower'' in Tokyo is one of the most iconic and influential architectural marvels of the postwar period. A touchstone of the Metabolist movement, the tower was designed by the office of Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa (1934–2007) and completed between 1970 and 1972. Each capsule was intended for single occupancy and came outfitted with its own ensuite bathroom, a foldout desk, a telephone, a reel-to-reel tape player, a Sony color television and a "porthole" window overlooking the city. In this volume of the MoMA ''One on One'' series, curator Evangelos Kotsioris delves into the groundbreaking design, construction, evolution and ultimate need for the demolition of this remarkable structure in 2022. It is published in advance of MoMA's exhibition of one of the original capsules, the first to be publicly shown in the United States.

Summary:
Exhibition halls and sports arenas, factories and warehouses, airports and railway stations, arts centres and concert halls: big sheds are all around us yet the story behind their extraordinary growth has gone untold. Beginning with the roots of the big shed – including 19th-century iron structures, the work of Buckminster Fuller, Archigram, and the Pompidou and Sainsbury Centres – the book is organized by function: exhibitions, industry, transport, sports and arts. Together these areas account for the best examples of big sheds over the past twenty years, and include work by Frank Gehry, Norman Foster, Richard Rogers, Jean Nouvel, Daniel Libeskind, Nicholas Grimshaw and Toyo Ito, among many others. From the vertiginous daring of Tokyo International Forum to Madrid’s award-winning Barajas Airport, these structures have changed the very nature of architecture. Throughout the book Pryce’s dramatic photography captures the buildings’ primal vastness, while technical drawings help explain how they were designed, built and function.

Summary:
When Yoshi Tsukamoto and Momoyo Kaijima of the Tokyo-based firm Atelier Bow-Wow arrived at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design as guest professors, in the winter of 2016, they challenged students to deeply consider their surroundings and record their reactions as a large pencil drawing. In this public drawing time is suspended and expanded; futures, presents, and pasts converge; and the act of drawing becomes an instrument of dialogue and engagement. Tsukamoto and Kaijima later spoke about the project with K. Michael Hays, Eliot Noyes Professor of Architectural Theory at Harvard s Graduate School of Design, and reflected on representation, occupation, and the democracy of architecture. They unfolded their concept of an ecology of livelihood, wherein shadowless figures, objects, and spaces coexist with construction details. Explaining their belief in the behavioral capacities of humans, architecture, and nature, Tsukamoto and Kaijima revealed the generosity of spirit in their work, and the importance of pushing such capacities to their most yielding limits.

Cet ouvrage se concentre sur la généalogie de cet équipement, du point de vue de ses mutations architecturales et urbaines dans le contexte d’une modernité désirée ou éprouvée. À l’appui de nombreux exemples illustrés, il vise à donner des clés de compréhension d’une forme de centralité singulière, qui allie activité et mouvement et constitue un repère structurant du paysage urbain nippon. L’originalité de ce modèle provient de la persistance, réelle ou mentale, de schémas traditionnels de pensée et pratique de la ville, au sein d’un processus de réinvention et de reconstruction permanent. Matérialisation spatiale du thème de la connexion, la grande gare japonaise marque aussi réflexions et opérations à grande échelle. La relecture d’un ensemble de projets d’architectes japonais pour Tokyo, laboratoire des années de forte croissance, décrypte cette même approche conjuguée de l’architecture des déplacements.

Il collabore avec des architectes tels que Richard Rogers, Norman Forster, Renzo Piano, Ieoh Ming Pei, Herzog et de Meuron ou encore Jean Nouvel, et ses projets dotés d’une forte composante conceptuelle sont intimement liés à la notion de géographie. La notion de circulation joue également un grand rôle dans son travail, soulignant l’importance stratégique de l’architecture du paysage dans le domaine de l’urbanisme. Cette monographie thématique analyse les éléments clés du travail de Desvigne à travers différents chapitres consacrés au processus de transformation, à la géographie, au territoire, aux structures urbaines et aux places publiques. Ces notions sont toujours clairement illustrées par une sélection de projets, notamment le Walker Art Center à Minneapolis, le Dallas Center for the Performing Arts, le jardin du ministère de la Culture à Paris et le jardin japonais de la Keio University à Tokyo.

Kenz Tange (1913–2005) is a peerless figure among twentieth-century Japanese architects, unmatched in his talent, influence, and versatility. A leading force of the Metabolist movement, he was the first non-Western architect whose works would be embraced as universal in value. This unique assemblage of new scholarship by an international team of experts reframes Tange according to the contingencies of Japanese modernism as well as contemporary discourses of cultural identity, technology, urbanization, and the synthesis of the arts. Case studies on celebrated works—Hiroshima, Tokyo Bay Plan, and Yoyogi Stadiums—clarify Tange’s wide-ranging interests and design methodology. Illustrated with archival drawings and period photographs, this volume provides fresh and compelling perspectives on the practices, discourses, and production contexts of Tange’s work as well as the architecture and urbanism of postwar Japan. Kenz Tange—Architecture for the World represents the most serious and comprehensive reassessment of Tange in the English language in decades.

Helen & Hard's library in Norway illustrates how a support structure made of glue-laminated timber can merge with built-in components and furniture. A pavilion at the University of Tokyo makes use of a strut system in the form of a tensegrity structure for its temporary architecture. A framework of a completely different kind was used by gmp Architekten for the national stadium in Warsaw: the roof consists of a modified bicycle-wheel-like structure that can be completely enclosed by a membrane. In an interview, Volkwin Marg of gmp Architekten talks about his experiences in conducting major representative projects in many different countries all over the world.
