Résumé:
Conversant in contemporary theory and architectural history, Stan Allen argues that concepts in architecture are not imported from other disciplines, but emerge through the materials and procedures of architectural practice itself. Drawing on his own experience as a working architect, he examines the ways in which the tools available to the architect affect the design and production of buildings. This second edition includes revised essays together with previously unpublished work. Allen's seminal piece on "Field Conditions" is included in this reworked, revised and redesigned volume. This is a compelling read for student and practitioner alike.

Résumé:
The new "A.MAG Long Collection" presents a single project by a single architect in a special graphic design format that distinguishes it from other collections the magazine publishes. Each instalment will document works of different scales and formal contexts. This unique selection of projects which establish new paradigms in architecture begins with David Adjaye’s Mole House. The derelict property in the London borough of Hackney, made infamous by a landlord who incessantly tunnelled underneath it without a permit, was completely renovated by the architect as a three-storey live/work space that also serves as a single-family dwelling for artist Sue Weber.

Collaborating with residents, Burkina Faso architect Francis Kéré places social and historical needs at the heart of his design thinking More than almost any other contemporary architect, Burkina Faso–born Diébédo Francis Kéré (born 1965) stands for the social and cultural possibilities of architecture: the innovative aspect of his work lies in his reliance on local residents. Kéré first made a name for himself in 2008 with his designs for Christoph Schlingensief’s Opera Village Africa, and since then he has received numerous international awards (including the 2004 Aga Khan Award for Architecture), primarily for his building projects in his native Burkina Faso.

Résumé:
A wooden Japanese house slated for demolition will instead be moved to Venice for exhibition. Yet the house put on display will not appear in its original form. Dismantled for shipping, it will be reassembled on-site in new configurations created by architects and artisans from Japan, who will add new or local materials and other elements in the process. In other words, the exhibition of the house will be a fantastical installation that combines old and new in a composite of creative efforts by multiple designers and craftsmen. This book, edited by architect Kozo Kadowaki, explores the project in detail.

Architecture builds upon history. Even the avant-gardist creed to “make it new” still assumes a past. It is impossible to imagine novelty without an awareness of what existed before.

Résumé:
Architecture builds upon history. Even the avant-gardist creed to “make it new” still assumes a past. It is impossible to imagine novelty without an awareness of what existed before. This is even more true for the reuse and appropriation of existing structures, where designers take a stance relative to the past. In their transformation projects the office of diederendirrix architects retell stories of buildings and sites – by paraphrasing part of the story, by recasting central actors, by making architecture speak in other words. In so doing, they make it anew.

This architect from Rome is one of the younger generation of Italian architects who possesses a wide knowledge of the architectural debate and is firmly dedicated to a qualitative and innovative resurrection of architecture in Italy. He is known, among other reasons, for his analyses of the cultural situation and the profession of the contemporary architect in the internationally renowned architectural magazine "Domus", as well as for his activities as deputy editor-in-chief of this journal from 1992 to 1996. In this book, Nicola Di Battista analyses the discipline of architecture and the architect's profession, developing principles of a new orientation from a beneficial distance and with a clear overview.
