Résumé:
"A sustainable bodega and hotel in Rioja" presents the studio of the Yale Edward P. Bass Distinguished Visiting Architecture Fellowship taught by John Spence, entrepreneur and chairman of Karma Resorts worldwide with architect Andy Bow, a senior partner at Foster & Partners in London; environmental engineer Patrick Bellew, principal of Atelier Ten; and Timothy Newton of the Yale faculty. The studio proposed designs for a world-class winery and hotel complex in Rioja, Spain where wineries are both vernacular and exuberant in design. The students were challenged to address social, economic, and environmental sustainability in a holistic and integrated way. The project resulted in a range of strategies to sustainably harvest, engage local workforce, integrate landscape, and source materials responsibly. The project features attractions and symbiotic food production to facilitate tourist visits. Edited by Henry Chan and Nina Rappaport the book is designed by MGMT.design and is distributed by Actar D.

Résumé:
Architecture accounts for one third of global carbon emissions, energy consumption and waste. Buildings are increasingly understood to impact broader ecologies. Yet embodied energy – the various forms of energy required to extract raw matter, to produce and transport building materials and to assemble a given building – remains largely underexplored.

Résumé:
Architecture accounts for one third of global carbon emissions, energy consumption and waste. Buildings are increasingly understood to impact broader ecologies. Yet embodied energy – the various forms of energy required to extract raw matter, to produce and transport building materials and to assemble a given building – remains largely underexplored. "Embodied Energy and Design: Making Architecture Between Metrics and Narratives" addresses and thoroughly examines the issue. This book reconsiders the act of making a building as an act of energy expenditure and asks questions about a variety of related scales, methods of analysis and design opportunities. How might new technologies and materials challenge default positions on sustainability? Should we think of buildings as dynamic systems connecting multiple sites rather than as static and isolated objects? Does the duration of architecture extend beyond the life of a built structure?

Résumé:
This book brings together a diverse range of exemplary architectural projects from across the globe. Carefully selected and examined by a team of experts, these projects demonstrate innovative approaches that respond to the challenges and potentials of contemporary conditions and contexts. One guiding principle of this cycle of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture is the importance of plurality. Since its inception the Award has aimed to be inclusive and to embrace the engagement of a diverse group of users. But equally, it has sought projects that explore a plurality of methods and architectures in achieving that goal. Here, the authors of the essays use that productive tension between architecture and plurality not only to provide a framework for the examination of the projects but also to explore the intellectual and projective means by which architecture and plurality can find other common grounds in the future.

Résumé:
L’histoire de l’architecture ne cesse de conjuguer deux regards : celui, panoramique, portant sur les ensembles urbains, révélant les politiques sociales ou techniques, et celui sur les édifices et leurs intérieurs, vus en gros plan, qui reflète les idéaux et l’engagement de leurs auteurs et de leurs habitants. Faisant dialoguer théoriciens, philosophes et écrivains avec les architectes du xxe siècle (Mies van der Rohe, Wright ou Le Corbusier), Jean-Louis Cohen suggère une approche renouvelée, ancrée dans l’histoire culturelle et dans l’humain, de l’architecture comme questionnement et comme pratique.

Résumé:
With ‘ToolBook’, Diogo Brito authors a practical publication about architectural practice in the everyday life of architects. From a formal perspective, the book is written as if it were a screenplay for a movie, as both the scriptwriter and the architect must be creative within a set of rules, assumptions, conditions, or limitations. Brito, a founding partner of the Portuguese office OODA, looks at projects by Foster + Partners, Steven Holl, Fernando Romero, Bjarke Ingels, Kengo Kuma, and Eduardo Souto de Moura in order to analyse the working processes of architects through critical narration of various ways of being and doing, thereby building a set of useful tools for both students and architects.
