His self-built house/studio on the desert edge of Phoenix garnered a Record Houses of 1977 design award. A Fellowship in Architecture at the American Academy in Rome was a career turning-point permitting several months of intense reflection from a studio overlooking Rome, and travel throughout Europe to study historic and contemporary architecture. Filled with fresh perspective, Bruder won the commission to design the 280,000 square foot Phoenix Central Library. It opened in 1995. Cultural, civic and private commissions followed, as did opportunities to travel, lecture, and teach.

Organized into three primary sections, ''Puzzling Assemblies'' is a dissection of this idea—offering insights into its potential to enrich contemporary architectural thinking. Through rigorous design investigations, detailed drawings, and diverse analysis, Oyler Wu unpacks some of the fundamental assembly methods of puzzled forms and engages a series of physical and perceptual operations that boldly reimagine them at a range of scales.

Built in 1928 and recently restored to exacting standards, the residence embodies van de Velde’s mature vision of rational, human-centered design. Drawing on archival materials, newly commissioned photography, and the insights of leading experts, the book reveals the building’s architectural significance as a paragon of European modernism. It also discusses the challenges of returning the home to its original form, including sourcing historically accurate materials, conserving original joinery and finishes, and adapting the building to meet modern standards without compromising van de Velde’s holistic vision.

With the building, opened in 1952, she expressed her lucid architectural position and experienced what it meant to be one of the first independent Swiss female architects in a male-dominated profession. For Sachs, construction was a procedural act that extended from craftsmanship to the suitability of materials and finally to people’s appropriation of spaces. She sought to achieve architecture that floated, emerging organically from the topography and following environmentally and socially compatible principles. Her interdisciplinary understanding of architecture as applied ecology makes her work and thinking more relevant now than ever.

C’est l’histoire d’un artiste qui devient architecte: des châteaux de sable sur la plage de la Bernerie au parking des Machines sur l’île de Nantes. Une vie de création à la recherche du trait juste. C’est aussi l’histoire d’une rencontre, d’une vie à deux et d’un dialogue exigeant entre les dessins et les mots, les mots de Clotilde, son regard sur la ville et ses maux. C’est l’histoire d’une psychologue qui devient architecte. L’histoire d’une ville et de ses transformations. L’histoire de Nantes et des Nantais. Mi-roman mi-enquête, ce récit revient sur les projets importants du couple, leur manière exclusive de travailler à deux et les rencontres essentielles sans lesquelles rien ne se serait fait. Il laisse aussi une part importante à l’imaginaire des Barto, leur rapport à l’art et surtout au cinéma.

On display are chairs, tables, lamps as well as residential houses and pavilions — works that make his distinctive material language and hands-on, craft-based approach, tangible. As an architect and designer, he develops ideas into objects: knife, saw and prototype in hand, he tests and shapes his designs, making decisions through an immediate dialogue between material and production. Balancing functional clarity with playful form, the works tell stories, shift scales and open new perspectives on space, material and everyday life. The exhibition at Aedes presents a multifaceted view of a practice that melds together processes from architecture to design through its craftsmanship.

It explores architecture’s most primordial tension, tracing the shift from anonymous building traditions to authored design. Bringing together "Vernacular" drawings (pencil studies of archetypal buildings) and "Proto" paintings, the book reflects on origins, repetition, and architecture’s desire to return to a “first” state. A thoughtful text on the making of Luna House reveals how seclusion, material necessity, and the interruptions of daily life shape architectural thought. The book also features essays by Hans Ibelings and Pezo von Ellrichshausen.

How Celsing approached and carried out his commissions testifies to a great understanding of architecture as an applied art, where function and economy are important parameters. At the same time, during a major shift in the construction industry from more small-scale and artisanal to large-scale and prefabricated, Celsing managed the feat of running his projects with artistic integrity. John Håkansson’s black and white photographs, taken in the mid-1990s, capture the essence of Celsing’s buildings. In many cases, the images are now a valuable document of that era, since some of the buildings have changed, and not always in a favorable way. In this beautiful volume, supplemented by insightful texts contributed by architect Staffan Henriksson and artist Maria Lantz, Håkansson’s skillful photography forms a loving and sensitive portrait of Celsing’s architecture.

Résumé:
To mark the 50th anniversary of the death of Alvar Aalto, one of the most important figures in architectural history, this exhibition will showcase the extensive body of work he created with his two wives, Aino and Elissa. The Aaltos revolutionised the humanist aspect of modern architecture by grounding it in an organic connection to nature, producing countless designs in the process. Between the two world wars, the Aaltos helped to create an identity for the young Finnish nation. They participated in the International Congresses of Modern Architecture and the Paris and New York exhibitions and designed masterpieces such as the Viipuri Library (now in Russia), Villa Mairea in Finland, Baker House in the United States and Maison Carré in France. Following the introduction of antibiotics, their Paimio Sanatorium set an example to the world by demonstrating how spaces could be made healthier and more accessible, through studies of solar incidence, natural ventilation and silent washbasins. Sanatorium is one of the thirteen Aalto-designed projects currently proposed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The book accompanying the exhibition features a preface by António Choupina, director of the Architecture Department at the Serralves Foundation and curator of the exhibition, and Jukka Savolainen, director of the Alvar Aalto Museum. It also includes contributions from architect Álvaro Siza and Juhani Pallasmaa, architect, professor emeritus at Aalto University, Helsinki, and writer.
