Résumé:
Frederick J. Kiesler - architect, sculptor, painter, designer, set designer and art historian. Kiesler was tireless in his pursuit of a radical new concept of interior spaces: his dream was a polydimensional living space, an organic continuum in which colour, form and light, combined with magical and mythical themes, would create a unique cosmos. His so-called Endless House stayed with him all his life; although it was never realised it still fascinated and influenced other architects and artists more than many 'real' 20th century buildings. The publication "Endless Space" has been produced in cooperation with the Austrian Frederick and Lillian Kiesler Private Foundation.

Résumé:
The depiction of architecture through language: few contemporary architects have pursued this issue so pointedly and steadfastly as Wolf D. "Prix of the Vienna studio Coop Himmelb(l)au. Texts play a prominent role in the award-winning architectural office's creative output. Get off of my cloud" gathers together the first representative selection of writings including programmatic contributions, aphorisms, interviews, polemics, speeches, and lectures. The texts, written in the time from 1968 to 2005, open a multitude of insights into the theoretical and artistic content of the expansive work of Coop Himmelb(l)au. They likewise illuminate the work of other architects and pose provocative questions for architecture, art, and politics.

Résumé:
At the heart of this publication is Atelier Kempe Thill's quest to find prototypes for a global society. How can buildings be made neutral and flexible as well as specific? It features realized work such as the Light Building (a travelling museum pavilion) and row houses in Roosendaal (NL) alongside recent plans including those for a youth hostel in the former Nazi resort at Prora in Germany, and the Franz Liszt Concert Hall in Raiding, Austria. It further includes a number of fascinating but unrealized schemes amongst which the winning design 'Living Inbetween' for Europan 5 Rotterdam and the competition entry for the Nam June Paik Museum in Korea. This book is published in conjunction with the award of the Rotterdam-Maaskant Prize for Young Architects 2005 to Oliver Thill. Design by Sophie Bleifuss.

The interiors and exteriors of all his buildings are richly portrayed on full-page spreads and accompanied with plans, diagrams and introductory texts.

Résumé:
Clear geometric forms become sculptural buildings when given a thin skin of decorative patterns by Neutelings Riedijk architects. Their buildings are icons whose facades give surprising views inwards. Inside, the space is captured as a formgiving element tantalizing the senses. In this book the reader is taken through the many layers in their work, past competition entries and by way of realized to unrealized projects. Arranged into themes, the book presents texts on skin and patterns, hollows and patios, model studies of the sculptures and silhouettes, cartoons, photos and plans in this overview of the past ten years.
