Résumé:
For this yearbook, our annual selection of the representative arcitecture of Japan, fifty works have been chosen from those published in Shinkenchiku Jutaku Tokushu and are presented in order of the amount of floor area, from smallest to largest. Rather than using a highly arbitary order based either on the circumstances surrounding the work, its topicality or building type, in adopting this pratical arrangement from small to large scale, we anticipate that the latent similarities, proximities and differences that surface will become apparent and incite new discoveries.

Résumé:
Hutchinson's works are ephemeral and evanescent, produced out in the open, where they are subject to the whims of nature. Much of it is the product of his "thrown rope" method—literally throwing ropes over an expanse of land, then placing lime or planting flowers along the lines determined by the ropes. The result is a snakelike garden or swerving lines of bleached land.(...)

Résumé:
Hutchinson's works are ephemeral and evanescent, produced out in the open, where they are subject to the whims of nature. Much of it is the product of his "thrown rope" method—literally throwing ropes over an expanse of land, then placing lime or planting flowers along the lines determined by the ropes. The result is a snakelike garden or swerving lines of bleached land. Hutchinson has even thrown ropes underwater, planting flowers at the bottom of a lake or stringing oranges or onions beneath the water's surface.

Résumé:
"Evoking through design" features built work and speculative projects that highlight how contemporary practices are using devices such as spatial compositing, surface articulation, novel manipulations of matter and computational code in order to constitute spatial conditions radiating in delicate and sophisticated atmospheres. The theoretical foundations of the subject are also explored through core essays on key themes: the historic lineage of the evocation of atmosphere and moods in architecture; the more recent preoccupation with speculative realism in architecture; the human body and atmosphere; and picturesque techniques.

Résumé:
Following her series from "A Trilogy" (2017), Jessica Backhaus embarked on a transformative exploration, shedding the constraints of traditional photography for the depths of abstraction. "Cut Outs" (2021) marked a breakthrough into a new creative phase with its innovative abstraction. In "Plein Soleil," she presents a visual symphony of color, surface, and form. These images, using a complex visual language, are even more radical than before. Through minimalist compilations of reality, Backhaus crafts images that transcend the ordinary, transporting viewers into vibrant realms filled with life-affirming energy.

Résumé:
The Fountainhead has become an enduring piece of literature, more popular now than when published in 1943. On the surface, it is a story of one man, Howard Roark, and his struggles as an architect in the face of a successful rival, Peter Keating, and a newspaper columnist, Ellsworth Toohey. But the book addresses a number of universal themes: the strength of the individual, the tug between good and evil, the threat of fascism. The confrontation of those themes, along with the amazing stroke of Rand's writing, combine to give this book its enduring influence.

Résumé:
Tents, bandstands, displays, places for sitting, listening, seeing and being seen … Pavilions have myriad forms and functions. For architects and designers, they offer unique opportunities to experiment with form, construction, material, structure, surface and texture, often as prototypes for larger buildings or as purely artistic pursuits. A pavilion’s location also offers rich possibilities for interaction with the landscapes, streetscapes and peoplescapes around it. Pavilions can be temples to digital interaction or provide oases of surreal calm and isolation.''The New Pavilions'' presents a selection of the best and most exciting examples produced in recent years.

Résumé:
The diversity of pasta morphology, from Agnolotti to Ziti, is revealed through historical anecdotes, recipes, and a b aesthetic. The book starts with the basics, demystified: salt, fat, cooking, and quantity. Kenedy then covers dry vs. fresh, and provides recipes for several pastas and for three authentic sauces that form the foundation for many of the sauces in the book. From the obscure story of Strozzapreti ("priest stranglers") to the humorous warming red pepper and whiskey sauce for Radiatore pasta, or "radiators," one learns how shapes are created to maximize surface area and sauce delivery.
