Résumé:
"Small Houses in Finland" presents a selection of the best single-family houses in Finland from the last twenty-five years. Each of the 29 houses presented shows a different approach to the design of a small house, from the site placement to the plan layout, facades, massing, and use of materials, all the way to the handling of the construction details. All the houses were individually designed for single families, and are situated in different environments, from the countryside to the city and from the seashore inland. The houses in this collection have been selected by architect Esa Piironen, who himself has designed a number of small houses. Characteristic of his approach has been a commitment to environmentally friendly and humane architecture.

Résumé:
Parmi les courants et mouvements - divers et contradictoires - nés dans l'entre-deux-guerres, le modernisme a rêvé de changer la vie en métamorphosant l'architecture alors que l'Art Déco a exprimé la modernité d'une bourgeoisie entreprenante et libérée des préjugés moraux d'avant-guerre. Ces courants et mouvements vont connaître, au cours même du siècle qui les a vu naître, de nombreuses réactualisations. Libérés de leur ancrage historique et social, ils vont tour à tour nourrir la pensée architecturale et s'introduire dans la polémique et le débat sur la ville et son urbanisation. Qu'il s'agisse de maisons particulières, d'immeubles à appartements ou de bureaux, de cités-jardins ou sociales, de bâtiments publics ou industriels, d'églises ou encore de lieux de divertissement ou d'aménagements paysagers, Bruxelles conserve de nombreux témoignages architecturaux illustrant l'Art Déco et le modernisme. L'Exposition internationale des Arts décoratifs et industriels modernes de Paris, en 1925, joua un rôle crucial pour les arts décoratifs belges. Elle constitua une impulsion créative pour certains commerces bruxellois qui se profilèrent alors en ensembliers. Les Expositions universelles de 1935 et 1958 ont, elles aussi, exercé une influence urbanistique considérable sur la capitale, générant d'importants travaux d'infrastructure et un programme de construction de grande envergure, dans l'ensemble de la région.

Résumé:
Contemporary Athens is characterized by a building type that transformed the Greek capital into a modern metropolis within a few decades in the 20th century: the polykatoikia, a small-scale urban apartment block. For almost forty years the unchallenged residential ideal for all social classes, the polykatoikia by the end of the century had become synonymous with the rushed mass production of the postwar period and inhospitable living conditions in the inner city. This book sets out to trace the architectural origins of this typology. For the first time, it provides a comprehensive examination of the architectural concepts developed by Greek architects for the polykatoikia.

Résumé:
Since the foundation of the country in 1830, architecture in Belgium has been an expression of the key issues of modern Western societies. In "Something completely different," Christophe Van Gerrewey uses this small European country as a case study to describe, interpret, and criticize more universal spatial problems and behaviors. In seven wide-ranging essays, he looks at the activities of architects from the past two centuries to better understand political evolutions, social gaps, aesthetic considerations, housing and planning, transport and infrastructure, order and chaos, and culture and ecology. The result is a literary text full of surprises and discoveries, showing both the shortcomings and the merits of what architects do.

Résumé:
This publication explores a paradigm shift in architecture, transitioning from abstract design to the artistry of construction and materials. Drawing its inspiration from the exhibition ‘'SUPER DANISH – Art and Craftsmanship in New Danish Architecture'’ in Aalborg, it delves into the innovative works of Danish architects who embrace resource-conscious practices. From detailed precision to elegantly weathered creations, these architects showcase a merger of sculptural form and material poetry. Contributing architects include Johansen Skovsted Arkitekter, Panum & Kappel, Lynge Lynge Arkitekter, Reværk, Hahn Lavsens, Jespersen Nødtvedt, Noaa, and several more.

Résumé:
In 2016, an article in The New York Times with a probing title: “Why Brussels Is the New Berlin?” brought mainstream confirmation of a trend Brussels has been undergoing, with international artists flocking into the city, and galleries and art events following. As with so many other cities that have experienced similar trends, there are many reasons for this cultural flourishing, but they can be broken down to the simple conditions of the city itself: it is cosmopolitan and cheap. And there is available space. Beyond the visible art venues – museums and galleries, theatres and concert halls, established institutions, or converted industrial spaces – there is space where artists can live and work, go out and exchange ideas. The production of culture happens (also) in clubs and salons, offices and lofts, studios and ateliers. Our aim was to investigate these spaces and identify an urban prerequisite for such an elusive category as culture. Furthermore, we wanted to examine how spatial types can be appropriated for a new (cultural) practice.

"100 Copenhagen typologies" presents 100 examples of re-use, adaptation and mixed-use architecture. In this book, Martin Marker and his students from The Royal Danish Academy - Architecture, Design, Conservation at the Institute of Architecture, Urbanism and Landscape - BA Programme investigate Copenhagen as a Wunderkammer of architectural typologies. Leaving the focus on materiality and visual aesthetics aside, the book explores how programmatic complexities and existing structures can form foundations for future urbanism in a rapidly changing world with a growing population, climate changes, and limited resources. This book extends a welcoming invitation to explore and examine our urban structures, sparking a vital conversation that encourage a fresh perspective on our existing typologies, ensuring their continued relevance for the people who inhabit them.

Résumé:
"Prishtina in 53 Buildings" draws a multifaceted portrait of Kosovo’s capital city by using architecture as a prism to understand political, cultural and economic processes. Essays on fifty-three built structures, written by different authors with different geographical background and different professional perspective, add up to multilayered account of the city’s history and present. "Prishtina in 53 Buildings" is more than a guide book for visitors or residents of the city. Buildings are not only the materialization of design principles or architectonic ideas, but the outcome of socio-economic processes. The built environment is constantly re-appropriated, re-interpreted and re-valuated as architects do not have the final say as to the meaning and the function of an edifice. By conceptualizing architecture as materialization of societal processes, "Prishtina in 53 Buildings" pushes beyond notions that assume an intrinsic and coherent "logic" of cities. The editors Donika Luzhnica and Jonas König show that a polyphonic approach is more apposite to depict the often-contradictory trajectories of urban development.
