Summary:
Kazuo Shinohara’s (1925–2006) book Residential Architecture is considered one of the most significant pieces of writing on Japanese architecture of the late twentieth century. First published in Japan in 1964 as Jutaku kenchiku, the book was mandatory reading for generations of students of architecture in Japan and has deeply influenced many of the best-known Japanese designers, such as Toyo Ito, Kazuyo Sejima, Ryue Nishizawa, and others. Translated by architectural historian David B. Stewart (1942–2025) and architects Shin-ichi Okuyama (born 1961) and Kenichi Nakamura (born 1958), Shinohara’s reflections on housing are available in English for the first time, making multifaceted insights into the fundamentals of his outstanding work accessible to a global audience. In the first of three chapters, Shinohara writes about traditional Japanese architecture, thus explaining the foundation of his theory and practice, followed by a description of his design method, which he further illustrates through the examples of his first seven designs for homes.

The selected projects from Midtown and Lower Manhattan provide but a small cross section of the varying typologies of differing scales currently enhancing the architecture of New York City. Projects such as the Moynihan Train Hall by Skidmore Owings & Merrill (SOM) endeavor to preserve the fabric of the city while addressing the increased need for transportation hubs by the expansion of Pennsylvania station to the adjacent historic James A. Farley Building, while adaptive reuse projects such as Gansevoort Peninsula Park by nArchitects are part of a decadeslong effort to transform the industrial waterfront into much needed green spaces and sports facilities. Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) addresses the shortage of residential space with projects that integrate the materiality of the building to its context and incorporate the human scale with the urban one. Amid the massive developments taking place, smaller practices such as Worrell Yeung and WORKac seek to preserve urban character, through surgical intervention in their renovation projects.

The 20 works presented here showcase the evolution of their methodology and philosophy toward the concatenation of painting and architecture. Playing with the limits of the architectural surface through explorations in geometry, Pezo von Ellrichshausen invite the reader to consider the “architectonic picture,” not as a rigid reproduction but as a method of visualizing the self in the world amid all the world’s potentialities, where the physical eye and mind’s eye meet. Architecture, therefore, is not fixed but unpredictable, subject to the individual’s self-perception overlaid with the space and moment they occupy. Paintings by the duo allow us to enter their perception of architecture as both sensual and conceptual.

Summary:
Some of the largest architecture firms have effectively become war corporations. At the same time as designing Olympic parks and world-famous buildings, they have constructed military bases, maintained weaponry, and trained personnel for wars in which hundreds of thousands of people have been killed. In some conflicts, the same firms have been contracted from invasion to reconstruction, including facilitating military attacks, rebuilding war-damaged infrastructure, and establishing new governments. Architecture for Warfare tells the story of a form of multidisciplinary corporation that employs architects skilled in designing structures alongside former military personnel with experience handling live-fire weapons. It highlights the tensions and contradictions within these architecture-led firms that claim to make the world a better place. The book combines personal narrative with detailed research to reveal unsettling relations between design, planning, and armed conflict.

These pictures are some of the earliest documentation of an emerging art form, and are an under-recognized body of work from Matta-Clark—an artist who used the city’s crumbling infrastructure to reveal the social and political implications of architecture and urban design. This publication features every frame from every roll of film Matta-Clark shot, organized according to the sequence of contact sheets in the artist’s archive. Taken together, these pictures demonstrate Matta-Clark’s obsession with the gra?ti that had exploded across the city’s walls, subways, and buses, and show him growing bolder as he moved from photographing on the streets and subway platforms, to trespassing in outer borough train yards.

Summary:

On our part, we aimed to raise all the questions that readers might wish to ask about the architectural project, and Kengo Kuma generously and patiently answered them all. The publication contains three remarkable interviews. The architect Kengo Kuma, the author of the project, in the text he wrote for the book and in his interview, reveals his respect for Portugal through unusually strong words. The interview is not an easy one but once again emphasises and reveals the tribute he paid to that country, the respect he holds for it, and his clear intention to build bridges of friendship between Portugal and Japan.
