Résumé:
In recent architecture theory and practise there has been a tendency to refer to exteriors as a skin concealing an interior, as opposed to the traditional and more physical concepts of surface, flatness, and depth. The computer now enables the architect to call his design into life, free from the rigid material form, and view it as a flexible and interactive creation. In this book, the concepts of flatness and surface tension are examined in the light of virtual design and built reality. A selection of projects are presented to show how architects regard space and surfaces in modern architectural practice in the digital age.

Résumé:
From follies in parks to hosting events in prestigious locations and buildings, pavilions offer a great opportunity for architects to reflect upon the notion of space, visitor experience, and the role of the architectural components in the project as a whole. A selection of projects explores the relationships between pavilions and their contexts, and illustrates how the typology is evolving, becoming more dynamic, flexible, and lighter. Included are the Naoshima Port Terminal by SANAA, Kéré Architecture’s 2017 Serpentine Pavilion, and the Mpavilion 2017 by OMA. Additionally, this edition looks at special projects that reflect the blurring of boundaries between working and living in the digital era.

Résumé:
After September 11, Smith asserts, late modern architecture suddenly seemed an indulgence. With close readings of key buildings - including Jørn Utzon’s Sydney Opera House, Minoru Yamasaki’s World Trade Center, Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, and Richard Meier’s Getty Center - Smith traces the growth of the architecture of modernity and then charts its aftermath in the conditions of contemporaneity. Smith focuses on the very culture of aftermath itself, exploring how global politics, clashing cultures, and symbolic warfare have changed the way we experience destination architecture. Like other artists everywhere, architects are responding to the idea of aftermath by questioning the viability of their forms and the validity of their purposes.

A tiny house is an experiment of space but also a challenge to simplify ways of life. Tiny Houses brings together an international collection of over thirty prefab homes and living concepts under 1,000 square feet—some are practical and others are cheeky, ranging from treehouses and compact dwellings to floating houses. The book presents conceptual building plans, detailed illustrations, and vivid photographs of the homes, architects, and proud enthusiasts who live in them. How much space is unused and "wasted" in your own home? This book will inspire the reader to think about architecture and interior design in a new and enlightened way.

Résumé:
For Ricardo Flores and Eva Prats, their architectural practice is approached through drawing – meticulous and meditative to the point of fixation. This is how they describe it in this issue, which explores their unique design process, featuring their projects, drawings, and models, and covering more than 25 years of work. The magazine is organised into four sections, shedding light on a process of thinking in pencil that they pursue uninterruptedly, whether in their projects or in their classes. Full of insightful and intense lessons, the array of projects is accompanied by texts from architects Jorge Otero-Pailos and Jan De Vylder, who decipher these musings of sketches and tracings.

Résumé:
Vector Architects, founded by Gong Dong in 2008, has prioritised the relationship of built work to its site, from seasides or mountains to the heart of the city, while investigating both natural and artificial landmarks for clues on how best to address the requirements of each programme. And while the office is no stranger to bold gestures, a recent work such as the Jingyang Camphor Court seems to retreat from view, knitting itself into the urban fabric until structure and surroundings become inseparable. The issue also features Xiangshan Library, Changjiang Art Museum, Shanghai Maritime Pavilion, and more, plus essays by Gong Dong, David Leatherbarrow, and Michele Bonino.

Résumé:
Over the past thirty years, the number of architectural laboratories has surged from a handful to hundreds across the globe. Yet the term remains elusive: What defines an architectural lab? And why has it become so compelling to architects today? "The Architectural Laboratory" is the first volume to critically address these questions, assembling a series of essays that examine some of the most remarkable architectural labs of the twentieth century. While scientific laboratories have long been the subject of scholarly inquiry, architecture labs remain underexplored. This book situates them within their specific architectural-historical contexts, revealing how they have operated both metaphorically and materially.

Résumé:
Nature has always been a source of inspiration for the design of the human environment. The analysis of biological constructions can not only lead to astonishing technical solutions but can also inspire the design of architecture. Bionics is a fascinating border area between pure research and practical application: biologists, chemists, physicists, mineralogists, and paleontologists meet up with material scientists, engineers, and architects and transfer their knowledge to architecture and construction. Using numerous practical examples, this illustrated introduction traces the process from the understanding of how something functions, to abstraction- ?for example, in computer models- ?and the construction of initial prototypes, through to fully functional manufacture and production.

Résumé:
This volume considers existing contexts as an opportunity to use the potential of place, as well as the creativity of inhabitants and users and the power of the social and urban fabric, to respond to needs and urgent topics. It outlines eleven actions, compelling examples from different places and design practices worldwide, which in turn are related to an array of architects, design professionals, and other specialists working in art, biology, ecology, fashion, pop culture, and philosophy. As such, it generates a broader framework of thought in order to demonstrate how makers with diverse design attitudes are responding to today’s spatial, social, environmental, and aesthetic challenges.
