Summary:
In this volume in the "Pamphlet Architecture" series, the authors examine common architectural forms (chairs, doors, and walls) and programs (a cinema, a health club, a skyscraper) in order to dissect and reconfigure them. In the process they create ten new projects that draw their power from an oscillation between the recognizable and the surreal. Cleverly undermining the conventions and norms of contemporary architectural design, the authors pose a direct challenge to the seemingly endless search for new styles, arguing instead that the greatest potential for architecture in the twenty-first century rests on an imaginative examination of what we take for granted. Designed by the authors, "Situation Normal..." weaves together text, photographs, and drawings. An introductory essay establishes the theoretical and historical position of the book.

Summary:
While the potential of agency is most frequently taken to be the power and freedom to act for oneself, for the architectural community this also involves the power and responsibility to act as intermediaries on behalf of others. Presenting current thinking from practitioners and scholars from around the world, this book asks for a more active relationship between the(...)

While the potential of agency is most frequently taken to be the power and freedom to act for oneself, for the architectural community this also involves the power and responsibility to act as intermediaries on behalf of others. Presenting current thinking from practitioners and scholars from around the world, this book asks for a more active relationship between the humanities, the architectural profession, and society. Considering issues of architectural research as an agency of transformation, this book explores how humanities research can better contribute towards understanding current architectural needs.

Summary:
This book seeks to discover the architectural potential of biological structures as they can be found in nature. The structures that give biological forms strength, movement, firmness, and flexibility are studied, illustrated, and used as an inspiration for a huge number of design experiments of which the thinking, working, and final prototyping process are shown.

Summary:
The interaction between color and architecture determines our perception of space, and defines the tectonic relationships. The fascinating spatial potential of color, and the multi-layered dimensions of interpretation in the experience of color are design and communication means which, however, are often not fully used ? color oscillates between autonomy and functional purpose, and should be understood as a distinct "material" that can be used as part of the design. The book focuses both on the tangible aspects and design criteria of color, and on its indeterminate nature and its experience value. Using examples in art and architecture, the spatial interdependency of color is illustrated, as is its interaction with structure, light, and geometry.

Summary:
The old-fashioned pitched roof is experiencing a resurrection, in different and often surprising forms. In this profusely illustrated, inspiring picture book that recalls the classic texts on the modern movement, the reader can explore the potential of pitched roofs for a building s appearance, the relationship of the roofs to their context, and of the interior rooms that result. Its architectural possibilities seem even more interesting as they are rediscovered by today s architects. Based on the longtime work at the Department of Architecture at the ZHAW Winterthur. Includes nine articles by well-known authors Max Bosshard, Christoph Luchsinger, Nott Caviezel, Aita Flury, Hartmut Frank, Bettina Köhler, Marc Loeliger, Jacques Lucan, Martin Tschan and Christoph Wieser, who each explore the pitched roof from various points of view.
