Résumé:
O-14: Projection and Reception explores the groundbreaking exo-skeleton office tower in Dubai by New York-based architects, Reiser+Umemoto. This monograph not only provides exhaustive documentation of O-14's design and construction but delves further into the complex interrelationships this architectural model weaves between technology, expression and politics in the context of the 'nowhere place' of the global city. The book is both an account of a design's realisation and a manifesto, and contains Jesse Reiser's explanatory and theoretical texts on the tower as well as a number of critical essays.

Résumé:
The Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin is not only a museum but also an architectural milestone. The last building of the great German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969 is widely considered one of the most perfect statements of his aesthetic, with its monumental steel columns and cantilevered roof with glass enclosure. The Neue Nationalgalerie is especially famous for its 50 x 50-meter hall. There is no other van der Rohe structure in which the boundary between inside and outside is as porous as in this famous hall. This publication presents the building from today's perspectives, but also features historical photographs taken during the construction period, the building's opening in 1968 and the spectacular early exhibitions that took place there.

Résumé:
Bolle Tham and Martin Videgard founded their architecture firm in Stockholm in 1999. Their House K and Double House received widespread attention; they finally won international recognition with the Kalmar Museum of Art (which opened in 2008). They are among the young architects invited by Herzog & de Meuron to participate in the Ordos 100 project in China and are currently planning the new School of Architecture on the campus of the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm; their Moderna Museet Malmo has just opened its doors. In their designs, Tham and Videgard take as their starting point the Nordic tradition closeness to nature and economy of means as well as the concrete parameters of the project on which they are working; the result, however, is buildings with surprising and fascinating forms.

Résumé:
For ten years now, Günter Katherl, Martin Haller and Ulrich Aspetsberger and their architects’ office Caramel have amazed people with their spectacular buildings, competition entries and performances. Now we have Caramel in book form. 99 projects– buildings, designs, studies, art and actions, castles in the air and hot-air balloons. Glossy pictures to leaf through, texts that no-one, except architectural critics, wants to read? not likely! Architecture tells stories. exciting, wistful, unusual or even quite mundane ones. High time to also present it this way. and to write about it this way, so that it is a pleasure to read about architecture. For everyone who has a roof over their heads. everyone who lives.
