Résumé:
Japanese architect Hiroshi Hara, whose major works include Kyoto Station, the Umeda Sky Building in Osaka, and other important structures in Japan, is also known for his rich doctrines on architecture, which draw connections with disciplines such as philosophy and anthropology. In this impeccably designed and densely erudite volume, he presents so-called “transcriptions” about spatial concepts and modes, applying his decades of experience and thinking, including texts from his lectures at graduate school and mathematical formulas derived from his background as an engineer, to dialectic writings centred on the theme of a special exhibition entitled WALLPAPERS.

This instalment of C3 comprises two main themes, “Introvert Potential”, about the qualities of closed spaces and their dialogue with each other and the public context, and “City Inherit”, which details methods for urban acupuncture through three European case studies: Belfast’s MAC, the Lund Cathedral Forum and the San Antón Charity School, Madrid. Diego Terna provides an illustrative text for the first theme, taking projects like House S by Suga Atelier and the Mecenat Art Museum by Naf Architect & Design as examples. A special, in-depth focus on Seung H-Sang, one of the most highly celebrated Korean practitioners of architecture today, completes the issue.

Résumé:
Over 20 years ago, architect Renzo Piano established his firm and dubbed it the Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW)--a name that recalls the art studios of the Renaissance, where the master artist worked closely and actively with his apprentices. Students have always been an active component of the Building Workshop, functioning in a team with experienced architects and other experts, contributing to an international array of projects from two studio bases: one in Paris and one in Genoa, Italy. This small, intimate publication presents essays on both the Building Workshop and Piano himself, together with photographs of the two studios and of completed RPBW structures.

Résumé:
Architecture is a strange mixture of persistence and flux, an amalgamation of elements - some that have been around for over 5,000 years and others that were (re)invented yesterday. The fact that these elements change independently of each other, according to different cycles and economies, and for different reasons, turns each building into a complex collage of the(...)

Résumé:
Architecture is a strange mixture of persistence and flux, an amalgamation of elements - some that have been around for over 5,000 years and others that were (re)invented yesterday. The fact that these elements change independently of each other, according to different cycles and economies, and for different reasons, turns each building into a complex collage of the archaic and the current, the site-specific and the standard, mechanical smoothness and the spontaneous. Only by looking at the elements under a wide lens can we recognize the cultural preferences, forgotten symbolism, technological advances, mutations triggered by intensifying global exchange, climatic adaptions, political calculations, regulatory requirements, new digital regimes, and, somewhere in the mix - the ideas of the architect that constitute the practice of architecture today. A collection of these essential elements into 15 books in a package launched at the 2014 Venice Biennale that allows us to look through a microscope at the real fundamentals of our buildings and see again the essential design techniques used by any architect, anywhere, anytime.

Résumé:
This book explains, in simple steps and non-mathematical terminology, how to create repeat patterns in a line, on the plane, as tiles, and as Escher-like repeats. The book also shows how to make 'wallpaper repeats', where the elements of the pattern merge into each other, apparently seamlessly. Using letters as the basic elements, the book demonstrates how all repeat pattern-making comes out of four simple operations: translation, rotation, reflection, and glide reflection. It will provide the definitive one-stop pattern-making resource for professional designers and students across disciplines, from textiles and fashion to graphic design and architecture.

AV Proyectos 127 explores earthen construction, a technique recovered in projects like those of Boltshauser Architekten, Studio Mumbai, Assemble or Peris+Toral, among other studios included in this dossier that shows how tradition and innovation can intertwine to explore different types, scales, and ways of dwelling. This approach is broadened with the perspectives of architect Anna Heringer and rammed earth expert Martin Rauch, discussed during a conversation on the capacity of this material to generate spaces with a huge social impact and respect for the environment. Furthermore, the Barcelona-based studio TAKK works on new forms of domesticity to address the different natural and seasonal rhythms from an economy of means.

Résumé:
Following her study at the Delft University of Technology, Japanese architect Moriko Kira set up her own practice in Amsterdam in 1996, and has since both worked for the Dutch government and lectured in the Netherlands. Typical of her work is a variation in scale, programme and location, and she has completed projects in different Dutch cities, Belgium, the United Kingdom and Japan. Featured here are a church conversion in Groningen, a cemetery pavilion in Apeldoorn, housing in IJburg, a weekend house in Hakone, and several other projects. Besides the detailed essays by Kira that accompany each of these, Jo Toda also analyses her work and approach in a short text.

Résumé:
The model room of Olafur Eliasson is a cabinet of studies, which exists both as a spatial structure and a viewing platform for dozens of intricately constructed models of various scales, developed together with Einar Thorsteinn, a architect and artist. The preparatory level – or ground work – is in general crucial to Eliasson's practice; he conceives his works basically as machines that produce phenomena through their interaction with the visitors. The machines are composed of multiple elements and often involve material and knowledge gained from fields other than art. Olafur Eliasson therefore collaborates with scientists occupied with cognitive and visual matters, with architects, and others.
