Résumé:
Beyond the many elements that make up a building’s appearance, its physical preconditions remain the most important. Buildings are subject to fundamental and immutable laws that impose shapes, patterns, orders, and constraints. "The Bones of Architecture" investigates the cultivation of structures for architecture.

Résumé:
Beyond the many elements that make up a building’s appearance, its physical preconditions remain the most important. Buildings are subject to fundamental and immutable laws that impose shapes, patterns, orders, and constraints. "The Bones of Architecture" investigates the cultivation of structures for architecture. Several European architects and engineers present their works and approaches while reflecting on rules, strategies, and methods in structural design. Various design strategies are explored through selected projects by 6A Architects, Rui Furtado, Bruther Architects, Johansen Skovsted Arkitekter, Alejandro Bernabeu, Brandlhuber+, and Ingegneri Pedrazzini Guidotti.

Résumé:
We live in challenging times. There is overwhelming evidence that massive change is required in order to survive impending environmental collapse. Yet this fifth volume in the Archifutures series takes the position that the "apocalypse" is not an imminent event, but an insidious process that is already happening. Communities everywhere are facing it on a day-to-day basis. Many are already resisting and adapting. Despite the implied drama of the word "apocalypse", the reality is actually far more mundane: surviving it is not about building bunkers, it is about building resilience - everywhere and in all kinds of ways.

Résumé:
Based in Budapest, the Architecture Uncomfortable Workshop is an office that, in addition to planning small projects, always looks for ways to experiment. One of their biggest motivations is attempting to understand contemporary vernacular architecture as they continuously pursue situations where comfort meets real human needs. Their first monograph includes a conversation with founders Dénes Emil Ghyczy and Lukács Szederkényi, who began thinking and working together during their university days. The studio’s name refers to the fact that the spaces built by people are brought into being at the cost of significant physical labour, involving both sacrifice and conflict.

Résumé:
Already number TEN, ''Pressing Matters X'' is a special issue reflecting a year of reflection and change, after several waves of the pandemic, Black Lives Matter protests and newly developed hybrid teaching methods. It follows last year’s ''Pressing Matters 9'' that was completely rethought with the aim to present an Open Source publication that shares the Department of Architecture’s concept of design-research, an integral approach of critical thinking, rigorous research, and design, representing a deep understanding of the complex layers of architecture. Together with Jonathan Jackson & team of WSDIA, a more integral design was developed, allowing input from research [ARI labs], students, faculty and Penn’s special events. This anniversary of ''Pressing Matters'' is celebrated by adding the ''decade'' color of silver to the usual recycled cardboard cover of Weitzman’s architecture publication. It also represents a year of new opportunities brought by a complete rethinking of education through the introduction of remote learning, zoom lectures and meetings. A much larger international group of diverse jurors, experts, and critics could be invited as travel was of no hindrance for attendance.

Résumé:
How can we build a sustainable future in a time of climate change and dwindling resources? As our spatial needs begin to evolve more rapidly, architects are exploring ingenious ways in which to reuse and recycle existing buildings; resulting in a stunning transformation of our existing urban fabric. This volume collects the strategies of reuse together, demonstrating their power for change through groundbreaking projects from some of the world’s leading architects. From waste repurposed as construction materials, to buildings reworked with canny spatial interventions, and modular structures designed to be dismantled, discover how the architecture of creative reuse is helping us build a better tomorrow.

Résumé:
‘Project Stories’ invites an eclectic constellation of architectural practices from across the globe to tell the story of one of their significant built works. Each volume brings together three such stories accompanied by conversations with the individual architects. These behind-the-scenes examinations chronicle how an idea is conceived, revealing the diverse approaches and confluences of various fields that go into making a work of architecture. The series takes the form of a visual reader as a way to better conceptualise the works and practices, all equally diverse and equally legitimate. This second volume features BARarchitekten, Francesca Torzo Architetto, and Wolff Architects.

Résumé:
In the space of a few decades, the perception and culture of what an architect can be has evolved from the stereotype of “one man at the helm” to a far more complex and diversified range of possibilities: couples, collectives and teams of all kinds. But it is the ever-growing and ever-more influential presence of women that characterizes the discipline in our time. In(...)

Résumé:
In the space of a few decades, the perception and culture of what an architect can be has evolved from the stereotype of “one man at the helm” to a far more complex and diversified range of possibilities: couples, collectives and teams of all kinds. But it is the ever-growing and ever-more influential presence of women that characterizes the discipline in our time. In the exemplary cases and stories presented and illustrated in this volume, reflecting not only the quality of the architecture but also the great variety of contexts and professional configurations, we find the most important names of the recent past (Zaha Hadid, Cini Boeri, Lina Bo Bardi) and the present (Elizabeth Diller, Kazuyo Sejima, Grafton Architects): women at the head of large firms, who may work alone or who collaborate with other women or a partner, or who are members of collectives.

De leurs propositions a émergé un bâtiment contemporain en béton et bois, glissé entre les voies ferrées et la ville ; un signal fort, graphique et lumineux, rayonnant sur le territoire alentour. Cette publication détaille le processus de travail atypique mis en œuvre et rapproche ainsi les mains qui dessinent des mains qui réalisent, en suivant au plus près chaque étape du chantier.
