Résumé:
This 2G monograph celebrates the craft and ingenuity of MOS, the Harlem-based architecture and design studio founded by Hilary Sample and Michael Meredith in 2005. Recipient of the 2015 Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum National Design Award in Architecture, MOS is responsible for a variety of international projects, from private residences to art studios and community centers, which draw on and combine a consistent vocabulary of readily identifiable shapes from its own architectural catalog—chimneys, corridors, courtyards, roofs, windows. Recent projects include the Huyghe + Le Corbusier Puppet Theater at Harvard’s Carpenter Center; Artist Studio in Ancram, New York; the Floating House in Lake Huron, Ontario; the Welcome and Education Center, Apan Housing Laboratory in Apan, Mexico; and the IVY Coathook System. This volume looks at a representative sampling of its acclaimed projects from the past two decades.

Résumé:
The Southern California architect Gregory Ain (1908–1988) collaborated with some of the most important figures of midcentury design, including Rudolph Schindler, Richard Neutra, and Charles and Ray Eames, and yet remains relatively unknown. Perhaps one reason for this anonymity is that although he designed private homes for wealthy liberals, Ain was more interested in(...)

Résumé:
The Southern California architect Gregory Ain (1908–1988) collaborated with some of the most important figures of midcentury design, including Rudolph Schindler, Richard Neutra, and Charles and Ray Eames, and yet remains relatively unknown. Perhaps one reason for this anonymity is that although he designed private homes for wealthy liberals, Ain was more interested in finding ways to produce high-quality, low-cost houses in well-designed neighborhood settings for working-class families. This is the first book to examine the innovative housing projects that synthesized Ain's architectural and political ideals.

Résumé:
In ''On Bramante,'' architect Pier Paolo Tamburelli considers the work of the celebrated Italian Renaissance architect Donato Bramante and through this reappraisal suggests a possible agenda for current architectural practice. Bramante, Tamburelli argues, offers an excellent starting point to imagine a contemporary theory of space, to reflect on the relationship between architecture and politics, and to look back—with neither nostalgia nor contempt—at the tradition of Western classicism. Starting from a discussion of the difference in the work of Bramante in Milan (1481–1499) and Rome (1499–1514), Tamburelli highlights the peculiarities of Bramante’s architecture, especially in comparison to that of his predecessor Leon Battista Alberti and successor Andrea Palladio. This in turn opens up new possibilities for appreciating his spatial experiments, and to derive from Bramante’s abstraction and disassociation of form from function a revised theory of space for contemporary architecture. Such a theory might even advance a newfound political understanding of classicism, and a model—perhaps more valid now than ever before—for a public architecture.

Résumé:
A monograph on the architecture and design studio of Wiel Arets, ‘Nature is nature’ encompasses drawings, images, diagrams, texts, theories, sketches, and more. In his work and philosophy, Arets engages with the relations between humans and nature, interior and exterior, and the experience of the body moving through space within a series of prescribed cinematographic sequences. It is this circulation and routing in his oeuvre, and the ergonomics of interaction with his industrial designs, which is the key feature that defines the studio. The publication gathers signature projects by Arets alongside thoughtful essays, together allowing unique insight into his design approach.

Résumé:
The third instalment in the ‘A.MAG Long Collection’ looks at The Webster’s flagship store in Los Angeles, a retail development adjacent to the historic Beverly Center shopping mall. Juxtaposed beneath this monolithic eight-storey structure, Adjaye’s design elegantly asserts itself as a sculptural and experiential counterpoint to the larger mall. In an ode to the luminosity of California’s natural light, the cantilevered concrete facade presents as saturated pink while its form also references and reimagines the brutalist envelope of the existing building.

Résumé:
This volume emerged after years of visiting different architects’ studios and noticing how life intermingles with work. The publication seeks to add to the description of work-life spaces through an explanation of projects in progress at a given time in the featured studio. A two-fold narrative exists in each instalment: photographic and written. Texts by the architects provide explanation, while the images follow a narrative discourse coherent to each edition of the journal. This first edition features Flores & Prats, an architectural practice in Barcelona founded by Eva Prats and Ricardo Flores in 1998. The two combine design and constructive practice with academic activity.

His two main themes – green architecture and bamboo as a building material – form the basis of this celebration of his designs, which make clear reference to Vietnam’s troubled past and to the architect’s own adherence to the Five Precepts of Buddhism. From the Wind and Water Bar, his first foray into building with bamboo, to resorts, art installations and the pioneering residential series House for Trees, this volume is a timely exploration of what it means to build green.

Résumé:
Combining civic architecture projects with contributions by writers, historians and artists ranging from Dan Graham to Fran Lebowitz, this publication constructs a dialogue with the legacy of the late architect and longtime Cooper Union professor Diane Lewis (1951-2017). Lewis' pedagogy defined Cooper Union's architecture departure from the 1970s to the mid-2000s. Here, architectural historians Barry Bergdoll and Daniel Sherer converse about the themes and approach in her pedagogical style and thinking. Architects, former students, colleagues and friends generate projects as a continuous discourse with Lewis' pedagogy, carrying her legacy into contemporary dialogues.
