Founded in 1988 by Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos, UNStudio is one of the leading Dutch architecture offices in the world, and aims at designing healthy, sustainable cities that have an impact on our planet and a positive effect on people. As a collaboration with graphic design duo Bloemendaal & Dekkers, this year’s publication presents a design reflection on the theme of transformation. Using illustrations drawn from the work of UNStudio over the past 30 years, the book presents a visual investigation into the creative process, and demonstrates how ideas and concepts are developed by the practice into physical form. Through a similar thought process, the book itself is designed to undergo its own metamorphosis.

Summary:
DIY architect, publisher and pioneer of the self-build movement, Lloyd Kahn (born 1935) is a legend of the American counterculture. Influenced by Buckminster Fuller, in 1968 Kahn started building geodesic domes, and was an editor for Stewart Brand’s Whole Earth Catalog. In 1970 Kahn published his first book, Domebook One, followed the next year by the bestselling Domebook 2. In 1971, he bought land in Bolinas and built a geodesic dome (later to be featured in Life magazine), but he soon pursued other ways to build, resulting in the classic 1973 book "Shelter." Kahn published numerous self-build books over the ensuing decades, most recently "Tiny Homes on the Move" (2014). "Shelter Cookbook" is an exploration of Kahn’s now iconic publications by the Swiss architect Leopold Banchini (born 1981) - whose practice makes emphatic use of DIY architecture culture- and the German author and curator Lukas Feireiss (born 1977). It relates Kahn’s building philosophy to contemporary practices, recording Banchini and Feireiss’ personal search for unexpected relationships between historical documents and contemporary architectural projects. The large-format volume includes interviews, photospreads and archival material on self-building, and also includes a mycological investigation. "Shelter Cookbook" will inspire architects, designers, artists and counterculture cognoscenti alike with its positive vision of the possibilities and legacy of the self-build movement.

Et pourtant, le chef de file de l'architecture moderne a toujours dessiné, publié, exposé et collectionné les «arts dits primitifs», selon la formulation clairvoyante qu'il emploie dès 1935. Plusieurs formes sculptées africaines et asiatiques, qui appartiennent pour lui «aux époques les plus fertiles en invention», traversent ainsi son œuvre. Cette publication consacrée au regard que porte l'architecte sur des œuvres africaines, asiatiques ou océaniennes permet d'éclairer des aspects essentiels de la modernité architecturale, notamment les équilibres recherchés entre une essence de l'humain, que représentent des «arts dit primitifs» et un progrès technique qui tend, du moins dans un premier temps, à couper l'homme de ses racines.

Freed from stylistic or functional conventions, his graphic speculations have redefined the language of architectural communication. Speculations spans Cook's entire career, presenting some 160 drawings that range from student projects in the 1950s, through Archigram, to new work completed shortly before going to press. Arranged chronologically, these drawings chart the course of what can now be seen as an enthralling architectural adventure. Cook's own observations about the nature of architecture and urbanism, and the concept of the buildable, are complemented by pieces from architects Frank Gehry, Toyo Ito, Thom Mayne and Peter Wilson.

Il y a un siècle, les architectes du Bauhaus s'étaient fixé pour objectif de civiliser et de démocratiser la ville moderne, avec une architecture sobre du less is more élaborée au rythme de l'évolution des sociétés. Cet impératif n'a rien perdu de son importance. Pourquoi les jeunes architectes du XXI? siècle ne pourraient-ils pas, pour combattre la brutalité de la ville contemporaine, qui malmène ses habitants autant qu'elle est malmenée par les ruptures climatiques et écologiques, opérer le croisement de toutes les ressources existantes en termes matériels, historiques et symboliques, pour construire autrement ? Travail considérable certes, mais qui éviterait ce « fonctionnalisme vert », en vogue aujourd'hui, qui remplace les modèles dogmatiques et sans mémoire de l'architecture internationale par des écomodèles qui le sont tout autant. C'est à cette réflexion essentielle que se sont attelés les auteurs de cet ouvrage. Pour que nous puissions enfin passer du « less is more » au « better with less » !

The items span Alexander’s fifty-year career, beginning with an early version of his PhD dissertation based on fieldwork in India, continuing to fifteen years in the development of "A Pattern Language", one of the best-selling books in the history of architecture, and proceeding to the writing of "The Nature of Order", Alexander’s four-volume masterwork, and beyond. The writings combine theory and descriptions of practice, and together support a blueprint for the development of a new, humane way of building, while also providing a window into the mind of an extraordinary thinker, teacher and professional.
