'Modern Churches in Sweden' features some thirty churches built between 1940 and 2014, a period characterized by innovative thinking in both ecclesiastical architecture and liturgy. The book focuses on the architecture – from well-known buildings such as Sigurd Lewerentz' St. Peter's in Klippan to contemporary works like the Tureberg Church in Sollentuna, whose sustainable approach is expressed in an altar made of scrap lumber and chair fabric made from plastic bottles.

Résumé:
Presenting a critical and theoretical dimension to retail design, "Boutiques and other retail spaces" links the ideas behind it to real practice in this innovative and important contribution to architectural/interior theory literature. Retail structure has been subject to a dramatic and ongoing transformation over the past thirty years, materializing in the emergence of large-scale out-of-town shopping centres and new specialized shops in city centres. These specialized boutiques are highly designed, involving well-known architectural firms such as OMA/Rem Koolhaas, David Chipperfield, Herzog + de Meuron amongst others. With case studies and over 100 black and white images, Vernet and de Wit set forth original and well-grounded theory to accompany this popular and lucrative area of work.

Résumé:
Le public international de l'architecture s'intéresse à l'architecture française, il sait peut-être moins que les arts français du spectacle (théâtre, danse, chanson, arts du cirque et de la rue entre autres) sont en constante mutation et sont accueillis avec un succès croissant sur les scènes du monde entier. La rencontre de ces deux disciplines, qui traitent toutes deux des corps en mouvement, a récemment donné lieu à des commandes architecturales fortes. Ces réalisations illustrent la créativité de l'architecture française d'aujourd'hui, mais aussi, en ouvrant l'architecture au croisement avec d'autres arts qui sont l'essence même de la rencontre entre l'individu privé et le citoyen public, elles montrent combien l'architecture s'inscrit activement dans la conscience esthétique et sociale d'aujourd'hui.

Résumé:
Designs for schools repeatedly crop up in Hertzberger’s prodigious oeuvre and are, according to the architect, his favourite buildings. ‘Schools and cities’, he contends, ‘can be read in many ways and are challenging, inspirational and inviting’. Alongside a presentation of more than 30 of his completed schools and a number of unfinished ones, the publication features an essay by Abram de Swaan, who pays tribute to Hertzberger as a pre-eminently ‘sociological’ architect. Each building is documented through photographs, plans and explanatory texts.

Includes nine articles by well-known authors Max Bosshard, Christoph Luchsinger, Nott Caviezel, Aita Flury, Hartmut Frank, Bettina Köhler, Marc Loeliger, Jacques Lucan, Martin Tschan and Christoph Wieser, who each explore the pitched roof from various points of view.
