Résumé:
This book argues that the mid-rise way of urban living is an essential component of growing cities, demonstrating that the economics of this form of development are better than that of terrace houses or town houses. It begins by examining successful historic precedents of this housing type, such as the tenements of Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Barcelona and New York and successful mid-rise housing in London. The book then discusses reasons for the relative lack of contemporary mid-rise housing developments, including planning legislation, and the perception that it is a dull and uniform building type.

Résumé:
Miguel Milá is considered one of Spain’s first and most influential industrial designers. Starting out as an interior designer amid the country’s early modernist movement, Milá began making the objects he needed but couldn’t yet find on the market. He took raw and renewable materials and crafted prototypes by hand, occasionally evolving designs to perfect his now-iconic lighting and furniture. This book is a detailed look back through Milá’s most emblematic works, produced between 1956 and 2021, with archival photos and drawings, as well as original photos shot at Milá’s Barcelona home by Nacho Alegre.

Résumé:
This book, published to accompany an exhibition held at the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona, comprises a profound study of American visual artist and writer Roni Horn’s most representative works, such as the series inspired on her journeys to Iceland, in which she gives crucial emphasis to nature and landscape, isolation and solitude.

Résumé:
With this intricately folded and bound volume, Janine Schrijver presents her sizable international photographic investigation into city parks. Over the past five years, she has photographed the various facets of many urban parks – from users, vegetation and flowers, and park features, to leisure activities and functions, and even detrimental aspects such as littering and vandalism. Located in popular parks in Rotterdam, The Hague, Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, London, Berlin, Antwerp, Barcelona, Vienna, Rio de Janeiro, Shanghai, and New York, it approaches the subject from a familiar perspective, yet also asks for a deeper consideration of why we take such green areas for granted.

Résumé:
What we talk about when we talk about Bar Brutal: This is aportrait of one of the world’s best-loved drinking holes and its formative role in the natural wine movement, a two-way symbiosis from Barcelona to the world. Emerging in 2013, Brutal is the place where a legendary cast of winemakers, sommeliers, chefs, musicians, and wanton drinkers have all converged in the feeling that something was taking shape there between the never-ending party and an intimate knowledge of the wines. The book combines multiple, intersecting strands that veer between structure and chaos, reflecting the bar’s own underlying methodology. At the centre of the work is Bar Brutal’s first official cookbook, featuring 26 recipes, while collage sections merge archival imagery with the stories—or revelations—of 80-odd contributors, including Stefano Colombo, Joan Ramón Escoda, Christian Tschida, Nuria Renom, John Wurdeman, Thierry Puzelat, LCD Soundsystem, Peggy Gou, 2manydjs, Gilles Peterson, Aziz Ansari, Alice Feiring, and many more. Photo essays by Adrià Cañameras, Nacho Alegre, and Yago Castromil document the dinners, wines, people, and spaces that bring the place alive by day and night, while four written chapters anchor the story in time and place, tracing the bar’s evolution. Brought together by Madeleine Willis, former Apartamento editor and long-time Brutal regular, the work reflects the same energy that Brutal has injected into Barcelona and the wide world of wine since 2013 and celebrates over a decade of happy, chaotic, expansive service.
