Résumé:
This comprehensive guide to the post-war architecture of Lisbon divides the city into sixteen urban districts, organised into individual chapters with an introductory text and a map displaying the location of each selected project, which in turn are illustrated with photographs and drawings along with relevant data and explanatory text. The year 1948 saw the conclusion of the master plan for the city of Lisbon coordinated by Étienne de Gröer, something that has deeply marked the way in which the municipality has been organised up until the present day. The examples chosen were also considered in response to social and community interests, and avoid limited perspectives.

Résumé:
Like Bruno Munari or Charles Eames, the designer Fredun Shapur (born 1929) made a particular daring and inventive contribution to the world of children. Between the 1960s and 1980s he designed toys for manufacturers such as Naef in Switzerland, Galt Toys in Great Britain, and above all Creative Playthings in the United States. From wooden puzzles to animal disguises made from paper sacks, Shapur's toys still have the power to challenge and enchant, while his use of colour and graphic refinement remain strikingly modern.

Résumé:
This monograph of work and projects by Venezuelan-born, Swiss-based architect Christian Kerez seeks to elucidate his particular approach, which emphasises how architecture does not exist in and of itself, but is rather a reflection of a practice of questioning, and of working with the unexpected. At its core, the things we take for granted must be seen again, in a new(...)

Résumé:
This monograph of work and projects by Venezuelan-born, Swiss-based architect Christian Kerez seeks to elucidate his particular approach, which emphasises how architecture does not exist in and of itself, but is rather a reflection of a practice of questioning, and of working with the unexpected. At its core, the things we take for granted must be seen again, in a new light. Architecture critic Erwin Viray delves into this kind of reasoning in a conversation with Kerez, while the book beautifully presents examples of his designs, among them, a high-rise in Zhengzhou, the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, social housing in Paraisópolis and a school building in Munich.

Résumé:
The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency's mission is to promote a sustainable society. A part of this work is the development of visitor centers in important natural areas, known as Naturum (a play on the words nature and room). About 30 have been built since the 1970s, in recent years, with increasingly evident architectural ambitions. The book focuses on 13 of the major visitor centers: from Stenshuvud in Skåne to the Great Sjöfallet in Lapland. They have been documented with nearly 150 photographs, recently taken by Åke E:son Lindman, and the book also includes a large amount of drawing materials. (Swedish and English edition)

Résumé:
Monograph dedicated to the new Intermodal Station Logroño, Spain by Iñaki Abalos and Renata Sentkiewicz, tells how the authors started from the intention to exploit the underground of the tracks and the train station to create a memorable urban event. Under a single encompassing gesture, it doesn''t only contribute functional benefits to the city of Logroño (a new high-speed railway and bus station), but specially allows to create a large pedestrian space, a park or artificial hill, culminating with uninterrupted pursuit of a new urban green ring where the tracks would separate the city in two.

An Exploration into Material, Physiological and Territorial Atmospheres. Energy and sustainability is a complex topic that needs to address simultaneously core disciplinary values and ideas that come from other fields of knowledge. The interconnection between the environment and its climate, its built structures and the human body requires overlying architecture with other disciplines such as meteorology, thermodynamics or physiology to engage them in a holistic way.
