Résumé:
During the Holocaust, approximately 50,000 Jews survived in occupied Poland and Ukraine by seeking shelter in unlikely hiding spots. Driven by necessity, they were forced to take refuge in unexpected and inhospitable spaces such as tree hollows, closets, basements or sewers—remaining there for hours, days and sometimes even months.

Résumé:
During the Holocaust, approximately 50,000 Jews survived in occupied Poland and Ukraine by seeking shelter in unlikely hiding spots. Driven by necessity, they were forced to take refuge in unexpected and inhospitable spaces such as tree hollows, closets, basements or sewers—remaining there for hours, days and sometimes even months. Architect, scholar and artist Natalia Romik has identified and studied several such hideouts that still exist today. Her research accentuates the material and spatial dimensions of living in hiding, gathering the evidence of vernacular architectural creativity employed under life-threatening conditions. Romik views hideouts as concealed monuments to the ingenuity of Holocaust survivors and their helpers. This interdisciplinary catalog makes tangible the fragile physical reality of these places and addresses the fundamental question of the function of architecture in relation to the history of violence and our culture of commemoration.

Résumé:
Helmut Jahn´s latest buildings are the result of interdisciplinary thinking taken a step further: they represent a symbiotic collaboration between architecture, engineering and building technology. The credo of this form of architecture engineering is transparency, openness and inner flexibility, and instrumental in its development are among others, Helmut Jahn, Werner Sobek and Matthias Schuler. This innovative team has taken up the challenge of turning optimum technical solutions into intelligent and resource-saving constructions, creating internationally acclaimed architecture of the very highest technical and aesthetical quality: "Modern buildings make the highest demands of technology. And it is not the architect who fulfils them but the engineer" (Helmut Jahn) This volume documents in detail a large number of recent projects in Europe, the USA and Asia by Helmut Jahn, Werner Sobek and Matthias Schuler including the European Union Headquarters in Charlemagne, Munich Airport Center, the Sony Centre in Berlin, the airport Cologne/Bonn, office buildings for the Deutsch Post in Bonn, Shanghai International Expo Centre, Bishopsgate (London), MANN (Chicago), New Bangkok International Airport, Illinois Institute of Technology Campus Center, and Shenzhen Convention and Exhibit Center.

London-based ecoLogicStudio focuses on climate and carbon neutrality, and how photosynthesis can be incorporated into architecture. Atelier LUMA is the research design branch of LUMA Arles, mapping and identifying the local resources of the unique bioregion of Camargue to build its own studio. Finally, the Ithaca, New York–based Jenny Sabin Studio uses theory and knowledge from biology and mathematics to help develop new digital tools and structures that work in interaction with people and nature. This catalog highlights each firm’s most important projects alongside three conversations between the studio founders and an expert architectural

Résumé:
Kazuo Shinohara’s (1925–2006) book Residential Architecture is considered one of the most significant pieces of writing on Japanese architecture of the late twentieth century. First published in Japan in 1964 as Jutaku kenchiku, the book was mandatory reading for generations of students of architecture in Japan and has deeply influenced many of the best-known Japanese designers, such as Toyo Ito, Kazuyo Sejima, Ryue Nishizawa, and others. Translated by architectural historian David B. Stewart (1942–2025) and architects Shin-ichi Okuyama (born 1961) and Kenichi Nakamura (born 1958), Shinohara’s reflections on housing are available in English for the first time, making multifaceted insights into the fundamentals of his outstanding work accessible to a global audience. In the first of three chapters, Shinohara writes about traditional Japanese architecture, thus explaining the foundation of his theory and practice, followed by a description of his design method, which he further illustrates through the examples of his first seven designs for homes.

Résumé:
Architecture schools are currently being built all over the world. The main reasons for this are new space requirements and the pursuit of excellence in education. Despite the claim of many institutions to teach concepts for new, innovative architecture, schools are often bound by tight constraints and prescribed space programmes when building their own facilities. Under these conditions, how can free spaces for architectural education be created and forward-looking ideas as well as unconventional uses be promoted? / Weltweit werden derzeit Architekturschulen gebaut. Die Hauptgründe dafür liegen in neuen Raumanforderungen und im Streben nach Exzellenz in der Ausbildung. Trotz des Anspruchs vieler Institutionen, Konzepte für eine neue, innovative Architektur zu vermitteln, sind die Schulen beim Bau ihrer eigenen Anlagen oft an enge Auflagen und vorgegebene Raumprogramme gebunden. Wie können unter diesen Voraussetzungen Freiräume für die Architekturausbildung entstehen und zukunftsweisende Ideen sowie unkonventionelle Nutzungen gefördert werden?

Résumé:
This small architectural guide provides a representative overview of the built environment in the north Indian metropolis of Ahmedabad. In addition to covering the city’s notable legacy of modernist architecture, the work also treats diverse forms of informal urban arrangements: from architecture without architects (to borrow from Bernard Rudofsky) to ephemeral structures sprouting up on streets and plazas, everything is fair game. Clear axonometric drawings and short texts providing cultural and historical context make this idiosyncratic travel guide an accessible introduction to decoding Indian urbanism for the architect and layperson alike.
