Summary:
Canadian architect Fred Hollingsworth designed his first house in 1946. Since then he has created some of the most innovative homes of the twentieth century. Hollingsworth's home designs incorporate an open floor plan and a keen observance of the flow between the inside and outside environment. Using natural materials with an emphasis on texture and natural lighting, Hollingsworth is one of the few modernist architects who look wholly to organic form as the basis of their design aesthetic. "Living spaces" is a detailed monograph on Hollingsworth's career, revealing how he and a handful of visionary architects pioneered the acclaimed "West Coast Style" and helped establish modern ideals of structure and utility. Through full-page images, architectural plans, and text from the artist himself, this book follows an acclaimed architect from his early days to his most recent achievements that show his continued commitment to innovation.

Summary:
"Worldmaking as Techné: Participatory Art, Music, and Architecture" outlines a practice that challenges the World and how it could be through a kind of future-making, and/or other world making, by creating alternate realties as artworks that are simultaneously ontological propositions. In simplified terms the concept of techné is concerned with the art and craft of making. In particular a kind of practice that embodies the enactment of theoretical approach that helps determine the significance of the work, how it was made, and why. By positioning worldmaking as a kind of techné, we seek to create a discourse of art making as an enframing of the world that results in the expression of ontological propositions through the creation of art-worlds.

Summary:
When it comes to matters related to architecture and urban planning, few other countries grant their population such a far-reaching democratic right of co-determination as Switzerland. The strategy facilitates both a societal acceptance of architecture and the constant prevention of projects, among which are some rather notable examples. Such projects, often painstakingly developed but ultimately not implemented, are part and parcel of the everyday life of Swiss architectural firms. Whether lost, rejected, stalled, or altered, a host of architectural designs exist that are still spoken about today, despite the fact that nothing ever came of them. This is a representative selection.

Thomas Fisher explores both the beauty and the practicality of Salmela’s award-winning designs—and offers insight into how an architectural firm as small and remote as Salmela’s has been able to produce consistently remarkable and internationally recognized results.
