Summary:
Big cities are becoming more and more attractive as places to live, both nationally and internationally. The modern city represents a platform for contacts and mobility, for challenges and change. As a result, many european metropolises are registering a renewed trend towards living in urban space. But many big cities still have a surplus of available office space, while well-placed, attractive and reasonably priced apartments are lacking. This book not only presents model residential buildings by wellknown architects, but also innovative concepts that highlight future perspectives for redundant office buildings. Their conversion into attractive apartments represents a challenge to architects, investors and residents.

Summary:
The London-based NaJa and deOstos architecture office was founded by Nannette Jackowski and Ricardo de Ostos as a platform for experimental architecture. The architects run their office as a studio that tackles the challenges arising from the manifold possibilities presented by urban situations and social dynamics by developing alternative urban concepts. One of their projects is the "Hanging Cemetery of Baghdad”, which they have continuously developed since 2004. In his introduction, Peter Cook says that as an architect, one could essentially go into denial in view of the harrowing situation in Baghdad. NaJa and deOstos research the situation and react with the language of experimental architecture.

Summary:
The sampling of identical elements along with close attention to the choice of materials and issues of sustainability, are themes which consistently return in the architectural designs of Branimir Medic and Pero Puljiz. The two architects, both trained in Croatia and The Netherlands, have followed their own unusual, yet distinct paths since winning the Prix de Rome in the early nineties, which has included partnerships in office of Architekten Cie in Amsterdam. ‘Different Repetitions’ demonstrates through texts and images their multi-sided design talent but also the general cohesiveness of their projects undertaken from the office building Acanthus in Amsterdam to the Cultural Centre in Tianjin, China.

Summary:
Dedicated to the work of Wespi de Meuron Romeo, a Swiss/Italian office based in Ticino, the southernmost canton of Switzerland. Markus Wespi and Jérôme de Meuron draw as much inspiration from the blend of cultures which surrounds them as from their own architectural philosophy, one which seeks the utmost harmony between forms of habitat and nature. The houses the office has conceived and realized are natural elements of the landscapes in which they are situated. Distinctive in the use of materials, especially bare concrete and natural stone, their particular qualities are presented here in an array of large photographs, renderings and technical drawings.
