Résumé:
Hiroshi Sambuichi deciphers the relationships between moving materials (wind, air, water, sun) and topography in an effort to derive the optimal building for a specific site. With his very local approach to architecture, the Hiroshima-based architect has gained a reputation for painstaking investigations into site and context before beginning the design process on each of his projects. He believes it is the appropriate strategy, even if one pursues answers to global concerns. Recently, he has focused particular energy on works related to the Japanese city of Setouchi, featured in this book, which coincides with his exhibition at the Setouchi Triennale 2016.

Résumé:
Anthony Record (Florida, 1983) received his M.F.A. from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2008. His work has been exhibited nationally including shows in Chicago and San Francisco. His paintings and drawings challenge the boundaries of recognition and address the limits of perception. The drawings for Nature Brutal and Capricious are based on tiny passages of light and dark from found etchings. When taken out of their original context, these insignificant folds and shadows mutate into phantasmagoric figures with distinct personalities. When revisiting the found etchings, the figures haunt the original source material by becoming perceptually photoshopped into it.

Résumé:
German/English reprint of the 1979 publication. This book argues that in our modern cities we have lost sight of the traditional understanding of urban spaces. What has to be clearly defined is what should be understood by the term 'urban space' and what meaning it holds within the urban structure, so that we can go on to examine whether the concept of urban space retains some validity in contemporary town planning and on what grounds. 'Space' in this context is a hotly disputed concept. A new definition is not generated, but its original meaning is brought back into currency.

Résumé:
Thirty years after the original Japanese edition by Fumihiko Maki and a team from Maki and Associates, an English-language version of this book is finally available. The original was based on a commissioned study on “The Desirable Living Environment” and examined Japanese urban spaces in the context of Tokyo’s rapid change and the city’s distinctive aesthetic consciousness. In particular, the concern for surface layers, micro-topographies, and small spaces in the metropolis received special focus. With the ever-growing and new global metropolises emerging today, fundamentally different attitudes toward public domains are revealed. It is clear that old ideas no longer apply.

Résumé:
Marjan Teeuwen creates large-scale architectural installations in buildings that are subsequently demolished following her interventions. She disrupts the materials of construction and structure and builds new artistic images in which floors are tilted, walls are removed, and stacks of debris either run rampant or are painstakingly ordered into architectural sculptures. Constructive forces go hand in hand with destruction and decay in Teeuwen’s work. This book presents several installations from her ‘Destroyed House’ series, including the recent project ‘Destroyed House Gaza’. By choosing to work in occupied territory, Teeuwen allows the socio-political context to penetrate her method.
