Résumé:
Reyes Ríos + Larraín is an architecture studio founded by Salvador Reyes Ríos and Josefina Larraín in Mérida, Yucatán. Reyes Ríos + Larraín is best known for their sensitive restoration of old mansions and haciendas in the state of Yucatán and other parts of Mexico, which have been converted into hotels or private homes. Their work has set the standard for colonial remodeling in Mexico. This book presents the practice’s exploration of construction systems, materials and finishes in their conversion projects. It also includes buildings built from scratch using traditional construction techniques, and examples of the studio’s furniture design. Exploring the studio’s working methods through essays, sketches, photographs and models, this volume presents a thorough overview of the work of one of Mexico’s leading architecture studios.

Part monograph, part manifesto, "Christian Wassmann: Sun Path House and Other Cosmic Architectures" is the first comprehensive publication on the Swiss designer and architect (born 1974).

Illustrated with examples of Wassmann’s projects and unrealized ideas, this volume draws parallels between current technologies, ancient knowledge and sustainable materials while highlighting sensibilities far beyond the visible.

Résumé:
While he was working to complete the Allmannajuvet Zinc Mine Museum in southern Norway in 2016, Swiss architect Peter Zumthor asked Norwegian architectural historian Mari Lending to engage in a dialogue about the project. In meandering, impressionistic style, and drawing on their favorite writers, such as Johann Peter Hebel, Stendhal, Nabokov, and T. S. Eliot, their exchanges explore how history, time, and temporalities reverberate across Zumthor’s oeuvre. Looking back, Zumthor ponders on how a feeling of history has informed his attempts at emotional reconstruction by means of building, from architectural interventions in dramatic landscapes to his design for the redevelopment of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which conceived the building on a suitably grand urban scale.

Résumé:
Over the past years, Dhaka-based architect Kashef Chowdhury has become renowned for a body of work that responds with great sensitivity to places, local circumstances, and the demands of a building's users. At the 2016 International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, Chowdhury presented four recent projects his firm URBANA has realised in Bangladesh in a fascinating exhibition which he has designed with equal sensitivity and care. The labyrinth is an age-old space of intrigue, discovery and accident, which has fascinated architects throughout history. For his installation in Venice, Chowdhury challenged spatial perceptions by a simple turn: the labyrinth - which hides and blocks - is suddenly made transparent. Notwithstanding the obvious reference to Venetian glass, the labyrinth retains, or even accentuates, a sense of spatial disorientation.

Résumé:
"POROSIS" invites an intense look at the work of the new figure in the Porto School of Architecture, after Eduardo Souto Moura and Álvaro Siza. The singularity of Nuno Brandão Costas work lies in his sustained attention to the primary elements of construction and its plasticity. Through new materials and techniques, his work has built upon the clarity of traditional Portuguese architecture. André Cepeda travelled for some months photographing the work of Nuno Brandão Costa. More a sensitive approach than a literal document, this book is a powerful testimony of Portuguese architecture nowadays, through the surprising work of this architect. The images, by one of the most highly regarded Portuguese photographers, brilliantly challenge the limits of an architectural monograph.
