Summary:
There is hardly another topic that fascinates architects more than new materials, with their previously unimagined properties and enchanting haptic surfaces. Yet if you look at built reality, these hardly play a role. On the contrary, the international trend continues to move towards natural surfaces made of wood, brick and natural stone. As aesthetically and ecologically(...)

Summary:
There is hardly another topic that fascinates architects more than new materials, with their previously unimagined properties and enchanting haptic surfaces. Yet if you look at built reality, these hardly play a role. On the contrary, the international trend continues to move towards natural surfaces made of wood, brick and natural stone. As aesthetically and ecologically meaningful as they may be, this development becomes alarming when buildings and interiors in southern China, Paris or Copenhagen become indistinguishable. The examples in this issue show, however, that individual solutions are still possible even within a narrow range of materials and colours. Just a few years ago, natural stone and solid wood – building materials used today by the luxury sector – were cheaper than concrete and veneer in countries like Portugal, as the Pritzker Prize winner Eduardo Souto de Moura explains to us in an interview. In his eyes, the design elements of architecture remain the same throughout history, only the materials change.

Summary:
ome places or epochs are identified with certain colours: Siena for example, which lent its name to yellowish-brown pig-ments, or the Habsburg era with its Imperial yellow. Tel Aviv, has its White City – a UNESCO World Heritage site designed by Jewish architects who studied at the Bauhaus. White is the colour identified with the Modern Movement, of course, but the coloured interiors of the masters’ houses in Dessau by Walter Gropius show that not everything was reduced to that hue. There are probably just as many colour theories as there are colour tones; but the streets in our towns and cities are rarely characterized by a consistent colour scheme. In this respect, the materials and their surface finishes play a dominant role. In our December issue, we present various architectural concepts that focus on the effects of colour. For example, the Sparren-burg Visitors’ Centre in Bielefeld with its tamped concrete facades enters into a dialogue with the historical surroundings, while the polychrome glazing of Sauerbruch Hutton’s office building in London forms a deliberate counterpoint to the urban environment. As one can see, architecture has to come to terms with colour. There is no such thing as neutrality.

Summary:
This book celebrates the design ingenuity made possible by digital fabrication techniques. Author Lisa Iwamoto explores the methods architects use to calibrate digital designs with physical forms. The book is organized according to five types of digital fabrication techniques: tessellating, sectioning, folding, contouring, and forming. Projects are shown both in their finished forms and in working drawings, templates, and prototypes, allowing the reader to watch the process of each fantastic construction unfold. The publication also presents projects designed and built by emerging practices that pioneer techniques and experiment with fabrication processes on a small scale with a do-it-yourself attitude. Featured architects include AEDS/Ammar Eloueini, Atelier Manferdini, Brennan Buck, MOS, Office dA, Florencia Pita/MOD, Mafoomby, URBAN A+O, SYSTEMarchitects, Andrew Kudless/Matsys, IwamotoScott, Atelier Hitoshi Abe, Chris Bosse, Tom Wiscombe/EMERGENT, Thom Faulders Architecture, Jeremy Ficca, SPAN, GNUFORM, Heather Roberge, PATTERNS, Ruy Klein, and servo.

Summary:
Although there were smart ideas and approaches over 50 years ago that sought to do so much better, ecological building has, to this day, been stuck with the dry image of muesli. Anyone who has ever stood in a house made of timber, earth, or straw knows that architecture means far more than "form follows function." Today, natural building materials are driven less by(...)

Summary:
Although there were smart ideas and approaches over 50 years ago that sought to do so much better, ecological building has, to this day, been stuck with the dry image of muesli. Anyone who has ever stood in a house made of timber, earth, or straw knows that architecture means far more than "form follows function." Today, natural building materials are driven less by ideology than by pragmatic choices and a pursuit of longevity. The synthesis of high-tech and "eco" has long been aesthetically convincing too. In this issue, we showcase the beauty and potential of natural stone, hemp bricks, and hempcrete; visit a reconstructed "Strickbau" (traditional timber-log construction) that upends the very definition of "immovable property"; look behind the facades of a 16-storey timber housing block; and examine the timber-earth slabs at Hortus, a key project by Herzog & de Meuron.
