Résumé:
This book extends the concept of British vernacular architecture beyond its traditional base of pre-modern domestic and industrial architecture to embrace other buildings such as places of worship, villas, hospitals, suburban semis and post-war mass housing. Presented in an essentially chronological sequence, from the medieval to the post-war, diverse fresh viewpoints in the chapters of this book reinforce understanding of how building design emerges not just from individual agency, that is architects, but also from the collective traditions of society.

Résumé:
In this large-format book, photographer Yukio Futagawa recounts his pilgrimage to Le Corbusier’s modernist villa in Ahmedabad, India, built between 1951-56. A symbol of the architect’s domestic architecture, the private residence integrates traditional features of local design, such as the double-height living room on the ground level, with key aspects like sun, wind and landscaping. The raw concrete form frames the open character of its interior spaces and the overall plan, a five-level cube divided by beams and slabs.

Résumé:
Whatever the medium – design, painting, textile or sculpture – Nathalie Du Pasquier’s work is born from an accumulation that constructs architectures of shapes and colours. Beautifully quiet still lifes, electric patterns, domestic landscapes, and construction games are mixed in a joyous freedom, as a myriad of visual spaces to explore. ‘Sempre Milanese’ is a walk along that singular course through a selection of works going from the early 1980’s to today. This publication is a new edition, with an extra 16 pages of Fotokino’s previous book ‘Milanese’, published in 2015.

Résumé:
We are used to seeing works created by architects, those designed for other people and for the lives of others. But what are their houses like? Are they an accurate reflection of their poetic design, absolute experimentation or something else altogether? 'Where Architects Live' wants to answer this question and, at the same time, expand the vision of domestic(...)

We are used to seeing works created by architects, those designed for other people and for the lives of others. But what are their houses like? Are they an accurate reflection of their poetic design, absolute experimentation or something else altogether? 'Where Architects Live' wants to answer this question and, at the same time, expand the vision of domestic architecture. The volume details eight private “rooms” of international architects: Shigeru Ban, Mario Bellini, David Chipperfield, Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas, Zaha Hadid, Marcio Kogan, Daniel Libeskind and Studio Mumbai/Bijoy Jain.

Résumé:
Finizio’s theme is one we can see on the streets: having changed the 19th-century city into a “metropolis” of suburbs and highways, the car as an object is, in turn, changing in relation to the modern city. A leading Italian design professional, Finizio has gathered an international symposium of architects to explore how urban planning, architecture, and design ideas can create a new design philosophy for the automobile as a sort of domestic moving space that interacts with the new urban environment. This richly illustrated book focuses on the relationship between the static city and “mobile architecture” of the car through the works of some of the most important contemporary international architects such as Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhass, Jean Nouvel, Massimiliano Fuksas, and Alessandro Mendini.This is an urgent, exciting design mission that finally deals with how thinking about the urban car must coevolve in profound new ways.

Résumé:
In the years of reconstruction and economic boom that followed the Second World War, the domestic sphere encountered new expectations regarding social behaviour, modes of living, and forms of dwelling. This book brings together an international group of scholars from architecture, design, urban planning, and interior design to reappraise mid-twentieth century modern life, offering a timely reassessment of culture and the economic and political effects on civilian life. This collection contains essays that examine the material of art, objects, and spaces in the context of practices of dwelling over the long span of the postwar period. It asks what role material objects, interior spaces, and architecture played in quelling or fanning the anxieties of modernism’s ordinary denizens, and how this role informs their legacy today.

Résumé:
"Vivienda industrializada" focuses on housing and industrialization, opening with an article by Eduardo Prieto on the possibilities and boundaries of this practice, still today caught between the promise of technology and the logistical inertia of conventional construction. In this context, a selection of six projects completed in Spain explores different ways of integrating design, manufacture, and assembly within the residential sector, in a progression ranging from the domestic to the collective. That same pragmatism is evident in the work of British architects Jonathan Sergison and Stephen Bates, whose practice is explored here through their recent projects.

Résumé:
The squatting movement in the Netherlands has played a major role in the design of both the urban fabric and domestic interior, and continues to offer alternatives to the dominant, market-oriented housing policies. This book acknowledges squatting as an architectural practice, analysing six locations through drawings, interviews, and archival material to create a record of past and current struggles, spaces, and oral histories, thereby forming the basis for a new governmental acquisition policy. It brings together the expertise of the squatting movement with architects, archivists, scholars, and lawyers in order to discuss approaches to what are often criminalised spatial practices.
