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.

Résumé:
This career-spanning monograph in two volumes presents the work of Vo Trong Nghia. 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.

Résumé:
The French firm Lacaton & Vassal, established in Paris in 1987 by Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal, has designed private and social housing, cultural and academic institutions and public spaces that reflects its advocacy of social justice and sustainability. Here, the winners of the 2021 Pritzker Prize present their oeuvre of four decades through three guiding concepts. Free Space signifies their concern to achieve a generosity of scale; Transformation expresses their adage “never demolish, always add, transform, extend”; and Habiter describes their insistence on making space one’s own. Accordingly, this volume presents nine built works by the architects, showing the life and inhabitants of each building so as to convey its animation and adaptation as a tenanted structure.

Résumé:
The Avancer Tower, an office building in San Luis Potosí, is a collaboration between two Mexican architectural firms, Manuel Cervantes Estudio and Macías Peredo Arquitectos, each of whom takes differing approaches toward the same end—to create architecture that blends modern architecture with the Mexican landscape and centuries-old building traditions in Mexico. The Avancer Tower achieves this in its color and form, mirroring the red of the soil, the rock and the rusted steel of the mines in the area. This book documents the project, the construction process and the finished building, guided by themes such as materiality, spatial relationships and scale. The book also demonstrates the contributions of the Avancer Tower and other buildings to the cultural life and value of San Luis Potosí.

Résumé:
La maison de Paros de Silvia Gmür et Livio Vacchini, dans son apparente simplicité, répondait à toutes les questions qu'un architecte se pose lorsqu'il projette ; elle est en soi une leçon d'architecture. Cette maison est une machine à penser parce qu'elle nous fait penser le fait de penser, voir le fait de voir, sentir le fait de sentir. Une machine qui nous fait être ce que l'on est, sentir comme on se sent.Roberto Masiero nous accompagne habilement dans un exercice d'interprétation qui, partant de la maison de Paros, nous invite à réfléchir sur les liens entre architecture, art, philosophie et politique.
