Résumé:
"Portrait of J" joins the rich tradition of socially engaged portraiture, echoing seminal works such as August Sander’s "Face of Our Time," Irving Penn’s "Small Trades," and, Wolfgang Tillmans’s "Portraits." What distinguishes "Portrait of J" is its intentional focus on ordinary individuals photographed with the same care and reverence often reserved for cultural icons.(...)

Résumé:
"Portrait of J" joins the rich tradition of socially engaged portraiture, echoing seminal works such as August Sander’s "Face of Our Time," Irving Penn’s "Small Trades," and, Wolfgang Tillmans’s "Portraits." What distinguishes "Portrait of J" is its intentional focus on ordinary individuals photographed with the same care and reverence often reserved for cultural icons. Shot across a variety of familiar, recognizable locations, mainly in urban environments, Homma’s portraits have an illuminating quality that reveal a psychological depth in their subjects. His portraits are guided by empathy and a desire to observe people as they are—free from manipulation or staging. The result is a more inclusive, nuanced visual representation of Japanese identity—expanding the lens through which Japanese people are seen both within Japan and internationally.

The publication brings together a collection of more than 300 photographs by Francisco Ascensão illustrating about 70 projects made by young architecture offices in Portugal."Today, it is nearly impossible to distinguish architectural schools or styles. Regional schools are homogenized by a universal system of education and references, temporal periodization is absorbed by the ‘contemporary’. In the book there is no claim about a certain tendency. The absence of captions is programmatic. Rather than competing for clients and attention the images show a culture of generosity and mutual curiosity, a culture of openness and collectivity, immediacy and care, optimism and liveliness. A new beginning." - Philip Ursprung, 2024

Résumé:
The Hans van Heeswijk architecture firm was founded in Amsterdam in 1985, and it has designed and realized a great variety of projects, among them offices, public buildings, museums, bridges, renovations, refurbishments, interiors and product design. Those projects are without exception matchlessly lucid and crafted to a standard rarely seen, particularly in an economy where tight budgets are the rule. Their forms, reticent at first, become articulate at close range. Each encounter with them seems right--thus the aura of tranquility, typical for buildings composed with great care and attention. This monograph deals with the works and ideas of Hans van Heeswijk architects over the last decade, including the recent commission for the refurbishment of the Hermitage Museum in Amsterdam.

An outdoor care retreat outside Oslo provides space where visitors can benefit from the therapeutic qualities of nature; a residence in Tottori, Japan, adapts with the changing seasons; a treehouse in Cape Town uses cylindrical towers that are elevated on stilts, offering views among the trees; and in Quebec, three geodesic domes were designed as part of an eco-tourism project to highlight the area's natural beauty. Each house is paired with photographs and plans.

Résumé:
Although architecture alone cannot solve the problem of homelessness, the question arises: What and which roles can it play? How can architecture collaborate with other disciplines in developing ways to permanently house those who do not have a home? This volume seeks to explore and understand a reality that involves the expertise of national, regional, and city agencies, nongovernmental organizations, health-care fields, and academic disciplines. Through scholarly essays, interviews, analyses of architectural case studies, and research on the historical and current situation in Los Angeles, Moscow, Mumbai, New York, São Paulo, San Francisco, Shanghai, and Tokyo, this book unfolds different entry points toward understanding homelessness and some of the many related problems. The publication accompanies the exhibition “Who’s Next” by the Architekturmuseum München in Munich, Germany.

Résumé:
Over the past years, Dhaka-based architect Kashef Chowdhury has become renowned for a body of work that responds with great sensitivity to places, local circumstances, and the demands of a building's users. At the 2016 International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, Chowdhury presented four recent projects his firm URBANA has realised in Bangladesh in a fascinating exhibition which he has designed with equal sensitivity and care. The labyrinth is an age-old space of intrigue, discovery and accident, which has fascinated architects throughout history. For his installation in Venice, Chowdhury challenged spatial perceptions by a simple turn: the labyrinth - which hides and blocks - is suddenly made transparent. Notwithstanding the obvious reference to Venetian glass, the labyrinth retains, or even accentuates, a sense of spatial disorientation.

Curator and scholar Glenn Adamson opens "Fewer, Better Things" by contrasting his beloved childhood teddy bear to the smartphones and digital tablets children have today. He laments that many children and adults are losing touch with the material objects that have nurtured human development for thousands of years. The objects are still here, but we seem to care less and know less about them. "Fewer, Better Things" explores the history of craft in its many forms, explaining how raw materials, tools, design, and technique come together to produce beauty and utility in handmade or manufactured items.

Résumé:
The second of three books published by the Center for Environmental Structure to provide a "working alternative to our present ideas about architecture, building, and planning," A Pattern Language offers a practical language for building and planning based on natural considerations. The reader is given an overview of some 250 patterns that are the units of this language, each consisting of a design problem, discussion, illustration, and solution. By understanding recurrent design problems in our environment, readers can identify extant patterns in their own design projects and use these patterns to create a language of their own. Extraordinarily thorough, coherent, and accessible, this book has become a bible for homebuilders, contractors, and developers who care about creating healthy, high-level design.
