Résumé:
The sketch is a window into the architects mind. As creative designers, architects are interested in how other architects, particularly successful ones, think through the use of drawings to approach their work. Historically designers have sought inspiration for their own work through an insight into the minds and workings of people they often regard as geniuses. This collection of sketches aims to provide this insight. Here for the first time, a wide range of world famous architects' sketches from the Renaissance to the present day can be seen in a single volume. The sketches have been selected to represent the concepts or philosophies of the key movements in architecture in order to develop an overall picture of the role of the sketch in the development of architecture. The book illustrates the work of designers as diverse as Andrea Palladio, Erich Mendelsohn, Sir Edwin Lutyens, Gianlorenzo Bernini, Le Corbusier, Michelangelo, Alvar Aalto, Sir John Soane, Francesco Borromini, Walter Gropius, and contemporary architects Tadao Ando, Zaha Hadid and Frank Gehry to name but a few. Each chronologically placed sketch is accompanied by text providing details about the architect’s life, a look at the sketch in context, and the connection to specific buildings where appropriate. Style, media and meaning are also discussed, developing an explanation of the architect’s thinking and intentions.

Résumé:
Under the title ‘Community Care’, AV Proyectos 128 features six works that cater to specific needs through an attentive and sensitive architecture that prioritizes a collective approach, as show the centers designed by Mae Architects, Vivas Arquitectos, or Dorte Mandrup. Paz Martín, architect and expert in the field, introduces the dossier with an essay that analyzes how assistance can shape the project strategy. Along the same lines, in an interview with the magazine the architect and professor Izaskun Chinchilla talks about the city of care and how the buildings that compose it are not just hospitals and clinics. In the process section, the complex by Herzog & de Meuron in North Zealand is an example of how to depart from traditional hospital building typologies. The issue also analyzes the high-rise construction boom in Albania, with proposals by MVRDV, Valerio Olgiati, and Bofill Taller de Arquitectura, among other firms.

Résumé:
Although an architect by profession, H.Th. Wijdeveld (1885-1987) is best known for Wendingen, the 'magazine for the decorative arts and architecture' founded by him in 1918. One of the peaks of Wendingen was the series devoted to the work of the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, for which Wijdeveld designed everything himself. Its graphic design caused a sensation and soon spawned a school of 'Wijdeveld typography'. Typical features of his designs are the game played with brass rules taken from the type case and stacked together to form letters, and the page layout in lines and blocks, what his contemporaries called 'typographical brickwork'. This publication, which accompanied an exhibition in Museum Meermanno (The Hague) devoted to his typography, features all the exhibits - posters, books and other graphic work by Wijdeveld himself and that of several of his successors, notably Anton Kurvers. Design by Piet Gerards.

Résumé:
In this book, architect Peter Wilson offers a Grand Tour of Grand Tours, providing an idiosyncratic guidebook to architectural (and other) wonders of Italy, illustrated by his own watercolors and sketches. Wilson chronicles the reasons that people throughout history have traveled to Italy while giving readers a deeper understanding of Italy's architectural habitat and cultural mythology. In Wilson's narratives and anecdotes, place names function as talismans; the events may not tally with recorded history, or with the exact topographies of actual places. Wilson offers historical reworkings, appropriations, and an architect's scrutiny of certain Italian tropes.
