Résumé:
This book from The Architecture Observer (Dutch architecture critic Hans Ibelings) takes readers through some of the unexpected twists and turns in the mind of the Toronto-based Romanian architect and urbanist Adrian Phiffer. It can be seen as an attempt to produce architecture with images and words – a non-linear flow of images interrupted by text, and vice versa. Its point of view is that of a youngish architect, and at times the book takes the form of a distorted self-portrait. He writes, “The cruelty of our profession is that we always have to imagine something special… we are required to make something sophisticated, slightly complex, preferably very expensive.”

In the Netherlands, for decades a bastion of modernism, neomodernism and supermodernism, a contemporary traditionalism has been causing a stir since the 1990s. Instead of innovation, today's traditionalists tap into what is already there, drawing from the past and preferring means that have already proved their worth.

Résumé:
In the Netherlands, for decades a bastion of modernism, neomodernism and supermodernism, a contemporary traditionalism has been causing a stir since the 1990s. Instead of innovation, today's traditionalists tap into what is already there, drawing from the past and preferring means that have already proved their worth. In Hans Ibelings's book contemporary traditionalism, stripped of all populistic and moralistic arguments for and against, is analysed from different angles. Ibelings places contemporary traditionalism in an international and historical perspective. In so doing, the book answers the question of what contemporary traditionalism has to offer a 21st-century society.

Résumé:
If past centuries belonged to Europe and much of the last century has been dominated by America, then now it is China’s turn. For decades, the nation has experienced unprecedented economic growth, and it managed to evade the West’s economic recession. It has gained a significant economic presence in nearly every part of the world. Yet China is now in the midst of an economic slowdown, which impacts its architecture, urban planning, and infrastructure, both at home and abroad. Nanne de Ru and Hans Ibelings undertake a closer examination of this process, with reports from Canada, Portugal, Angola, South Africa, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, and Central and South America.

Résumé:
The Architecture Observer offers an overview of different forms of modern architecture in Central America since the outset of the 20th century. Although modern architectures constituted only a small percentage of the total building production in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama, they hold in these countries an evident symbolic significance. Such buildings functioned as models for the desired societal, economic, and cultural changes, or as aspirational placeholders for a future state of modernity. With contributions by Mauricio Quirós Pacheco, Andrés Fernández, Hans Ibelings, Gloria Grimaldi, Sandra Gutiérrez, Martín Majewsky, and others.

Résumé:
"Proto Vernacular" is both art object and architectural meditation, a richly visual and philosophical publication by Pezo von Ellrichshausen. 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.
