Summary:
Architecture Without Content is architecture reduced to its very perimeter. The books in the series are the outcome of studios offered at EPFL. Architecture Without Content 15 emerged from the Roman Architecture studio trip to the Veneto- we were looking for an architecture that we felt we could only discover in the tangible reality as found, opposed to the monumental photographs we know all too well. Stefano Graziano, our compagnon de route, was looking for something similar, as if he was pursuing a parallel project of re-appropriation, making a new set of photographs depicting another Palladio. Neon Palladio is a collection of overviews and details, fragments and relations. It is equally Palladio and Scamozzi and Sansovino.

Summary:
This is a book that students of architecture will want to keep in the studio and in their backpacks. It is also a book they may want to keep out of view of their professors, for it expresses in clear and simple language things that tend to be murky and abstruse in the classroom. These 101 concise lessons in design, drawing, the creative process, and presentation--from the basics of "How to Draw a Line" to the complexities of color theory--provide a much-needed primer in architectural literacy, making concrete what too often is left nebulous or open-ended in the architecture curriculum.

Summary:
“Street architecture” is an ethos based not on a proposed urban theory, but on urban observation. Like a puzzle formed by pieces of various scales, it represents an array of forces, from the client’s brief to the builder’s realisation. In this book by Karin Templin the residential designs of Amsterdam-based architect Hans van der Heijden are examined in the context of housing and urban design practice, as seen in the street architecture of Florence and other European cities. Besides providing insights into Van der Heijden’s design approach, she looks at the principles of street architecture which could be of interest to urban architects and students, as well as developers and planners.
