Summary:
The Valparaíso School, as it became known, acquired an international reputation for its radical stance and its commitment to dialogue between architects and other disciplines. Since 1970 the Valparaíso School has focused much of its research and design activity on the open city (ciudad abierta) project, created by a group of architects, artists, poets, and engineers with a vision of a city with "no master plan, no imposed ordering devices, and no hierarchical networks of infrastructure." Originally set up as a laboratory-type environment, this alternative community has since become the place of residence and work for many people. "Valparaíso School: open city group" provides insight into this radical experiment in urban development through a series of essays and photographs.

Summary:
Across a vast span of human history, in our expanding and evolving capacities for both construction and reverence, there has been an interplay between biomorphic and geometric form related to situating ourselves on a cosmic spectrum. Sotirios Kotoulas is an architect immersed in the possibility of these forms, and the materials that render them. In his practice, symbolic(...)

Summary:
Across a vast span of human history, in our expanding and evolving capacities for both construction and reverence, there has been an interplay between biomorphic and geometric form related to situating ourselves on a cosmic spectrum. Sotirios Kotoulas is an architect immersed in the possibility of these forms, and the materials that render them. In his practice, symbolic shapes, materials, and colors can channel energy, and electromagnetic forces can be tuned and transmitted. In turn, these dynamisms can be mapped, be traced, and become form generators on their own. Sotirios approaches these concerns from multiple angles simultaneously, from conceptual exploration to the assembly of viable structures. As an Artist-in-residence at Dartmouth, he's delved deeper into two projects on this spectrum.

Summary:
''Joan Jonas: I know why they left'', printed in conjunction with the 2019 exhibition at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, is an artists book featuring full-colour reproductions of a new series of drawings by this seminal artist. As an Artist-in-Residence in 2017, Jonas was drawn to the vast array of mythical and archetypal animals present in the Gardners collection. Drawn from objects made of lace, stone, metal, wood, and ceramic, or found in tapestries and paintings, the animal figures allude to the importance of natures life force in the face of disruptive human presence. In this book, which includes a conversation between Joan Jonas and Pieranna Cavalchini, Jonass ability to conjure wonder, fear, and humor through poetic imagery continues to work its magic.

Summary:
International in scope, the book is an A to Z of ideas for the twenty-first century, from a pavilion in Argentina to a forest house in New Zealand, all designed to have minimal architectural traces--made with local materials that harmonize with the surrounding environment. An outdoor care retreat outside Oslo provides space where visitors can benefit from the therapeutic qualities of nature; a residence in Tottori, Japan, adapts with the changing seasons; a treehouse in Cape Town uses cylindrical towers that are elevated on stilts, offering views among the trees; and in Quebec, three geodesic domes were designed as part of an eco-tourism project to highlight the area's natural beauty. Each house is paired with photographs and plans.

Summary:
One glimpse of the cascading steel beams mirrored in the reflecting pond and it's clear that the Hugo and Brigitte Eppich house is a singular achievement, a daring experiment that embodies Erickson's West Coast modernist ideas about site, material, and form. Erickson's first steel residence explores both the structural and aesthetic possibilities of the material, with curved beams, dyed cladding, and milled furnishings designed by Francisco Kripacz- features that would have been near-impossible on a regular commission. But after seeing the first Eppich House, built for Hugo's twin brother Helmut, Hugo entrusted Erickson with creating and furnishing the entire house, inside and out- another first for Erickson- and made available the Eppic brothers' steel fabricating plants, which built virtually every component of the home.
