Résumé:
The architectural awareness and experience of space, and its creative use can profit greatly from certain aspects of “games” and the related technology. Here the author investigates a fascinating contribution of avant-garde art to the construction of space in the field of electronic games and arcades, beginning with "New Babylon", moving through the radical suggestions of the 1960's and 1970's to the commercial and experimental examples of contemporary amusement arcades. Also considered are the virtual worlds of video games which are growing increasingly complex. The book reveals in a critical way how important the element of “play” has become in today’s digital architectonic designs.

He is, however, less well known in Eurpoe. He is presently working on a design for a house in Seriphos, Greece. Lebbeus Woods on Kotoulas’ work: “… This is not an inhabitable site-specific architecture but one that is translatable, a numerical transference outside the material realm of building as an architecture about architecture.”

Résumé:
Folding is a relatively new trend in architecture. It is a very playful way of designing which offers free reign to spontaneity and surprise in the design process. The book "Folding Architecture – spatial, structural and organizational diagrams" offers insights into the possibilities of folding as well as results of the research conducted by the architectural faculty of the TU in Delft. The technique of folding in contemporary architecture is vividly illustrated with a survey of much-discussed concepts, projects and buildings in which this technique was applied. Now back in print.

Résumé:
Since the beginning of the 1990s, Miroslav Šik has been recognised as one of the actively innovative and analytical spirits of the Swiss and German-speaking architectural discussion. His architecture is not spectacular, nor does he flirt with short-lived architectural trends. In a manner of speaking, Miroslav Šik seeks the subversive and powerful middle path between banal and over-ambitious architecture. His interest and attention is focused on the people who live in the buildings and populate the cites, and he is concerned with the necessary rather than the superfluous. The book introduces three recent works by the Zurich architect and professor at the ETH Zurich in subtle photographs by Christian Kerez and Walter Mayr, accompanied by plans. The high-quality texts draw attention to architectural cross-references and plumb the depths of the attributes of a powerful new whole that has emerged from a building complex. Selected texts by Miroslav Šik document the foundations of his rich theoretical basis.

Résumé:
Construction on the Märkische Viertel in northern Berlin began in 1963 under the supervision of a team of nationally and internationally recognized architects. In the ensuing decades, under the management of the housing association GESOBAU AG, the Viertel evolved from a district that generated controversy throughout the Federal Republic into an exemplary large-scale residential settlement. Architects Werner Düttmann, Hans Müller and Georg Heinrichs wanted to design a better world, with humane dwellings for both inner city residents displaced by redevelopment and evacuees from the east. The concept underlying their masterplan was to shape the landscape via architectural structures. They thought in large forms and proportions, designing a prototypical satellite town for northern Berlin that would contain 16,000 apartments for 40,000 residents, while doing justice to the varied requirements of occupants. Architects such as Oswald M. Ungers, Chen Kuen Lee, Ernst Gisel and René Gagès took part in the construction of this large-scale estate, which caused a furor simply by virtue of its immense scale, unusual for Western Europe. Already in 1964, just after the first residents moved in, the Märkische Viertel, nicknamed the "MV,” was deemed controversial. Some condemned it as a "concrete citadel launched from the drafting table,” a "stony nightmare,” or "the Parrot Estate,” while others celebrated it as a glowing example of a model large-scale settlement. Only recent years have seen an unprejudiced and discriminating appraisal of the project. The residents themselves have always seen their homes in a more positive light than outside observers. In 2003, a survey commissioned by the GESOBAU AG suggested they were perfectly comfortable in their neighborhood. And their children — and even children’s children — often remain in the district. What is the secret of the Maerkische Viertel? How was this once inhospitable bedroom community transformed into a coveted residential district, and how is the transition between generations to be accomplished? Can the Maerkische Viertel sustain itself under the altered economic situation affecting residential housing, or have drastic interventions into the existing architecture become a necessity?

Résumé:
The development of Swiss architecture over the past thirty years can be interpreted as a sequence of "moments" against the background of different geographical, cultural and linguistic zones. One such "moment" is the work of the 40-year-old Genevan architect Andrea Bassi. Raised in the Ticino and educated in Lugano and Geneva, his work already evidences some unmistakable characteristics, whereby he derives his powerful reduced forms from the site of the building. Martin Steinmann, a well-known architectural critic and teacher at the EPF Lausanne, analyses some of the aspect in Andrea Bassi's architecture. Five buildings and projects are presented in short texts, plans and photographs.
