Summary:
The diaristic form of this publication is an attempt to feel and investigate the quality of time, making reference to Jonathan Crary, Bernard Stiegler, Yves Citton, Paul B. Preciado, Charles Baudelaire, and above all Walter Benjamin. Written in a style that borrows not from classical forms of theory or prose, but operates in between fiction and nonfiction to investigate the very concept of the contemporary, this book uses a quite old but often renewed method—in this sense a very contemporary one—consisting of starting from one’s own personal situation.

Summary:
Experimental and radical, material and gestural are adjectives that could define the suggestive projects of the studio led by Anne Holtrop (Netherlands, 1977). On the border between art and architecture, his work avoids typological reference and is built from unexpected elements: topography, trail layouts, material molds, textures extracted from everyday objects, or(...)

Summary:
Experimental and radical, material and gestural are adjectives that could define the suggestive projects of the studio led by Anne Holtrop (Netherlands, 1977). On the border between art and architecture, his work avoids typological reference and is built from unexpected elements: topography, trail layouts, material molds, textures extracted from everyday objects, or traces of natural processes that become the starting point for architectural definition. AV Monographs presents this intuitive practice through a selection of works and projects – with an introduction by Adrian Lahoud –, which take stock too of the life course of their author: from the beginnings at his home country to the move to the Persian Gulf.

Summary:
This diminutive but insightful book features one of Japan's most sought-after architects, Sou Fujimoto. It comprises an interview with the architect by Noriko Takiguchi in which subjects range from specific projects, dealing with clients, and how current trends in architecture relate to his work, to the pros and cons of working alone versus being open to ideas from others and collaboration. The in-depth conversation also covers how, despite starting out with a strictly small aesthetic, commissions from around the world have spurred him to adapt a larger scale, building on the confidence he had since being a student that architectural design was his true calling.

Summary:
Crowe evaluates the connections between the natural and manmade in our towns and cities, farms and gardens, architecture and works of civil engineering. He draws on the lessons to be learned from the buildings and cities of the past in restoring critical traditional values that have been lost to modernism which tends to see the built world almost exclusively through the abstractions of postenlightenment science. Crowe's starting point is indigenous architecture, the origins of our cities and towns where the first geometries were imposed on nature. He traces our separation from nature over time, from the long period of human history when nature served as a paradigm for creation.
