Résumé:
In the years 1988-1995 the Japanese architect Tadao Ando built a museum complex complete with a hotel, restaurant and seminar rooms on the island Naoshima (Kagawa). Constructed out of concrete, its platforms and walls extend far out into the landscape, framing the natural surroundings as a picture. Ando's customary restraint in his selection of materials, and his preference for simple forms which allow the serenity of the surrounding land and seascape to penetrate the rooms are much in evidence in this masterpiece. In this book, Werner Blaser has successfully captured the essence of tranquility so characteristic of Ando's architecture. His photographs are of an extraordinarily beautiful and reflective intensity. Also included is an introductory essay, drawing comparisons to Ando's other buildings which all succeed in combining nature and geometry.

Résumé:
Andrea Deplazes is a professor of architecture at ETH Zurich and a practicing architect. Internationally, he is best known for his book ''Constructing Architecture: Materials, Processes, Structures'' — a comprehensive handbook on building construction that has been translated into several languages and is widely used in architectural education worldwide. This new book could be seen as the legacy of his teaching. Developed between 2017 and 2025 in the course ''Design and Construction I/II'' at the Department of Architecture, ETH Zurich, it brings together key questions, models, and sketches to explore the fundamentals of spatial design. The material is complemented by images from seminar weeks and excerpts from Deplazes’ personal notebook. It stands as a synthesis of his pedagogical approach and marks the conclusion of his academic career as he retires from ETH Zurich.

Résumé:
Artistic representations of landscape are studies in a half-dozen disciplines (art history, geography, literature, philosophy, politics, sociology), and there is no master narrative or historiographic genealogy to frame interpretations. Geographers are interested in political formations (and geography, as a discipline, is increasingly non-visual). Art historians have(...)

Résumé:
Artistic representations of landscape are studies in a half-dozen disciplines (art history, geography, literature, philosophy, politics, sociology), and there is no master narrative or historiographic genealogy to frame interpretations. Geographers are interested in political formations (and geography, as a discipline, is increasingly non-visual). Art historians have written extensively on landscape, but there have not been any recent synthetic attemps or theoretical overviews. At the same time, painters, and other artists often feel they 'possess' the landscape of the region in which they live; that ownership takes place at a non-verbal level, and seems incommensurate with the discourses of art history or geography. Landscape Theory, volume 6 in The Art Seminar series, is the first book to bring together different disciplines and practices, in order to understand how best to conceptualize landscape in art.

Résumé:
Vladimir Tatlin’s Monument for the III. International (1919) is certainly one of the most significant projects of Soviet Constructivism. It is, however, not at all certain whether “Tatlin’s Tower” could even be built at all at the time it was originally planned. And whether it would be constructed today with the presently available means and possibilities of planning, calculating and processing materials is equally uncertain. The seminar on Structural Design 3 (Prof. Klaus Bollinger) focused on these reflections at the Institute of Architecture at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. The preliminary answers and assumptions are summed up in the present volume. Complementing the works by students, texts by Klaus Bollinger, Frank Werner, Florian Medicus, Gabriele Werner, Georg Glaeser and Frank Gruber provide an overview of the theoretical, historical, constructive and geometric relevance of Vladimir Tatlin’s work and the architect’s intentions.

Résumé:
A 1988 UN Habitat seminar considered issues of housing construction in "developing countries." Included in the presentation was a prefabricated building system designed by East German architects, which was used in an education and development center operated by the African National Congress in Tanzania. In this publication, a multidisciplinary and international group of artists, curators, historians and researchers reflect on the education and development centers as radical experiments in learning and living, as well as their spatial and design implementation in the context of the efforts to create a future democratic South Africa free of racism. This book focuses on why education was seen as the key to building a new democratic society. What were the immediate educational needs in those temporary learning environments? How were the educational priorities implemented spatially and creatively? And what was everyday life like for the people who lived there?

Résumé:
Modeling History revisits the material legacy of Kenneth Frampton's course Studies in Tectonic Culture, a collection of models familiar to anyone who has passed through Avery Hall. It looks back in order to project forward, and asks how the construction of architectural history through the making of models might generate new histories, practices, and ways of seeing. Produced on the occasion of the exhibition 'Stagecraft: Models and Photos' at Columbia University's Arthur RossArchitecture Gallery, Modeling History moves between modes of representation, past and present, to explore Frampton's theory and pedagogy concerning tectonics. The sixteen photographs enclosed in this book by photographer James Ewing reveal the possibilities of Frampton's radical approach today. Each image not only reengages with a model built during Frampton's seminar, but, by playing with the potentials of photography, also aspires to project similar material, tectonic, and poetic realities. Printed in a limited edition of 250 copies.

Résumé:
A great deal of Aalto-related research has been conducted over the years in different parts of the world. Some of these contributions have appeared in compendiums, seminar and congress publications and similar works. Many studies, however, have remained unpublished or known inly to a small circle of experts. 'Aalto Studies' is the Alvar Aalto Museum's new scholarly series. It seeks to compile existing research while also providing a channel of publication for new international Aalto research that is continuously growing in extent. This is the first number of 'Aalto studies' a collection of seven studies by Renja Suominen-Kokkonen PhD. Over the cours of several years, the author's research has particularly focused on the role of Aino Aalto alongside her maestro husband, thus expanding our understanding of Aalto and his works. Adjunct Professor Renja Suominen-Kokkonen PhD is at present acting professor of art history at the University of Helsinki.
