Summary:
The projects of David Chipperfield Architects stand for clarity and reduction. Founded in London in 1985, the architecture firm is now working in several countries and on different continents. Its striking designs are characterized by the fact that they do without eccentric gestures. Instead, carefully coordinated materials, proportions and forms create a unity in which old and new, tradition and innovation are on a par with each other. This monograph documents the sophisticated solutions of 23 international projects realised by David Chipperfield Architects London, Berlin, Milan, and Shanghai. The selection from the firm’s extensive portfolio presents different building typologies and construction tasks, be it new buildings, restoration, extensions or interiors. A view behind the scenes retells the challenge of major architectural milestones.

Summary:
Is architecture art? This vexed question has been posed since the 1700s, when—breaking from earlier centuries in which there were no divisions between visual artist, architect, and engineer—architects and laypeople alike began to see these vocations as distinct. Exploring how this separation of roles occurred, and how in the twentieth century arts and architecture started to come together again, The Judicious Eye is the definitive history of the relationships between painting, sculpture, and architecture as they have shifted over the past three centuries. Joseph Rykwert locates the first major shift during the Enlightenment, when key philosophers drew implied and explicit distinctions between the visual arts and architecture. As time progressed, architects came to see themselves as part of an established profession, while visual artists increasingly moved toward society’s margins, deepening the chasm between them. Detailing the eventual attempts to heal this breach, Rykwert concludes in the mid-twentieth century, when the artistic avant-garde turned to architects in its battle against a stagnant society. The Judicious Eye, then, provides a necessary foundation for understanding architecture and visual art in the twenty-first century, as they continue to break new ground by growing closer to their intertwined roots.

Summary:
Part of the generation of architects who were trained to draw both by hand and with digital tools, Nalina Moses recently returned to hand drawing. Finding it to be direct, pleasurable, and intuitive, she wondered whether other architects felt the same way. "Single-Handedly" is the result of this inquiry. A collection of 220 hand drawings by more than forty emerging architects and well-known practitioners from around the world, this book explores the reasons they draw by hand and gives testimony to the continued vitality of hand drawing in architecture. The powerful yet intimate drawings carry larger propositions about materials, space, and construction, and each one stands on its own as a work of art.
