Summary:
This book compiles the RCR Arquitectes own unique cosmogony: a vision of humans, of nature and life in general that transcends mere architecture. Nature and history is the physical place that has been chosen to develop a space by RCR Arquitectes to conceive and experiment and to rethink man's relationship with the world. This physical space is located in the La Vila, in the Bianya Valley (Catalonia), surrounded by woods, water, farmland, country houses, etc. It's a creative, experimental project, and one that is constantly evolving. Technological advances and innovation are applied on an experiential basis in this landscape. New realities are generated, like the humanitacle, a project about the synthesis of man and the built habitat in relation to the surroundings, nature and technology, and la dona i l 'home nu´vol (cloud woman and cloud man), creative beings par excellence and creators of reality. This book introduces this utopia under construction.

Summary:
Over the last years, coinciding with the growing social movement that aims for the introduction of a real environmental sensitivity in the European society, a new generation of architects has appeared in Spain. They plan and built using passive design strategies, use techniques to reduce both water consumption and waste production and even generate energy from the active use of renewable energies. Selected projects included: Botanical Garden of Montjuic in Barcelona and the Western Beach Promenade in Benidorm (Alicante), by Carlos Ferrater; the Spanish Pavilion at the Expo 2005 Aichi (Japan), by Farshid Moussavi and Alejandro Zaera, as well as the Spanish Pavilion at the Expo Zaragoza 2008, by Franciso J. Mangado and Florencio Manteca; the Hesperia Tower Hotel, by Alonso Balaguer Asociados and Richard Roger Partnership, and the Habitat Hotel in Barcelona, by Ruiz Geli, Vito Acconci and Ruy Ohtake; and the new head offices of Endesa and Telefónica in Madrid, both projected by Rafael de La-Hoz.

Summary:
One morning in the summer of 2014, Irina Rozovsky woke up in a Serbian mountain village to the sound of hundreds of trumpets as a brass band festival set up in the hills. At once pleading and tragic, joyful and frenetic, the music set the tone for what would become Rozovsky’s journey through the Balkan region, including Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Croatia, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, and Albania. Profoundly drawn to the land and its people, Rozovsky created the intimate and equivocal photographs that form Mountain Black Heart. Rozovsky’s borderless vision drifts through railways, farms, open water, parking lots, fairgrounds, and graveyards, balancing vitality and life with suggestions of dark history and subtle signs of violence. Interspersed throughout are striking portraits of people and animals which emanate vulnerability and resilience. Through its loose, expressionistic approach and a compassionate engagement with the human and natural world, Rozovsky’s nomadic project pieces together a personal and kaleidoscopic view of a fragmented place.

Summary:
When Ansgar Schulz first visits Adorf, a small town in Saxony, it is raining. For centuries, freshwater pearl mussels have been fished from the Elster river here; a local heritage museum earmarked for expansion documents their rich history. Watching rainwater trace its way across the existing roofs, the architect imagines the same for the facade of the new building. With its double-curved canopy, the Mother-of-Pearl Museum connects two existing structures. Clad in waterproof concrete, the building lets water run quietly down its surface – as if it were always meant to. Outside, the performative detail becomes a sensory echo of the pearl mussels inside. Solid construction is associated with weight, permanence, and immobility. This issue argues otherwise. Hand-pressed bricks, wax-treated rammed earth composed of demolition material, cyclopean concrete from limestone and rubble, hemp lime as a renewable material for the future – each detail explores what masonry can do when it is rethought. Does the heaviest building material have the lightest future?

Summary:
Western thinking has long been dominated by essence, by a preoccupation with that which dwells in itself and delimits itself from the other. By contrast, Far Eastern thought is centred not on essence but on absence. The fundamental topos of Far Eastern thinking is not being but ‘the way’ (dao), which lacks the solidity and fixedness of essence. The difference between essence and absence is the difference between being and path, between dwelling and wandering. '‘A Zen monk should be without fixed abode, like the clouds, and without fixed support, like water’', said the Japanese Zen master Dogen. Drawing on this fundamental distinction between essence and absence, Byung-Chul Han explores the differences between Western and Far Eastern philosophy, aesthetics, architecture and art, shedding fresh light on a culture of absence that may at first sight appear strange and unfamiliar to those in the West whose ways of thinking have been shaped for centuries by the preoccupation with essence.

Although Miss Jekyll designed around four hundred gardens, none remains as she intended and few exist today in any recognizable form. Her enduring influence has been achieved not through her spade but through her pen. She published fifteen books and contributed well over a thousand articles, notes and letters to numerous magazines and newspapers. But although the books are well known, until now, all but a handful of her other writings have been accessible only to scholars - a situation that this selection redresses. This book covers themes that include garden planning, wild and woodland gardening, climbing plants, water gardening and garden ornament, and includes selected articles. This is a gem of garden writing that all who are interested in Jekyll, planting and design will be delighted to discover.

Bernhard Edmaier’s aerial photographs show the beautiful shapes formed on the earth’s surface by rocks, ice, sand, water, trees and plants. The hundreds of images in this book make us look at the world in a new way, by showing us surprising similarities and unexpected links between the most disparate regions of the planet. Instead of seeing a forest or a desert or a field, we see circles and lines, zigzags and spirals, abstract shapes and precise repetition occurring in the most unexpected places. In this book, Edmaier`s photographs are organized by shape and form into clearly defined sections, with tabbed pages for easy access. Each section features short texts explaining where the types of patterns depicted in that chapter are found and how they are formed. In additon, every picture has a caption describing the location of the depicted pattern, and how it was created.

Summary:
How can we design the architecture of metabolism? How can architecture redefine resources, produce nutrients and contribute to regenerate land and protect communities at risk? "Building Metabolism" aims to reveal how architecture constructs, distributes, and leverages power via material recycling, interspecies alliances, biopolitics and excremental processes. This book, stemming from the expanded work produced for the 2022 Tallinn Architecture Biennale—themed EDIBLE and curated by the authors—reimagines the "home" on both domestic and planetary scales as a digestive system, processing human output in its various forms and converting it into actionable resources. This portrayal of the "home" urges readers to look at resources in a visceral way; via the raw ecologies of our bodies and the understanding that the social problems related to climate justice are not simply statistical, abstract, and disembodied. Instead, they are intertwined with our own production and living processes, and they are landed on bodies: on the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe.

Summary:
Megan Craig and Edward S. Casey provide a collaborative phenomenological exploration of thought in motion, interspersing lively first-person accounts with broader philosophical inquiry. Their investigation, structured around the four ancient elements—water, air, earth, and fire—ranges across swimming, boats, balloons, planes, cars, trains, and other modes of transport. Craig and Casey invite readers to recall their own experiences of travel and how thinking changes in tandem with shifting environments and whatever conveys a person from place to place. They also consider how changing climates and evolving technologies, with new rhythms and materialities, have shaped human thinking in its many varieties. ''Thinking in Transit'' celebrates forms of movement and motion that carry the body and mind out of their habituated routines. This book urges a change in how philosophers have traditionally framed the setting for serious thought: from the austere, solitary space of a study to populated places of interaction and passage.
