Résumé:
The product of an innovative research project realized in cooperation between three Swiss universities—École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne’s School of Architecture, the College of Architecture and Technology in Fribourg, and the University of Fribourg—the smart living lab is a research and development center for the built environment of the future. This high-tech structure also serves as an emblem of the cooperative’s aim to translate academic research into actual buildings. The follow-up to ''Thinking,'' ''Exploring'' presents the next phase of research at the smart living lab, which focuses on the various problems that must be solved to satisfy future buildings’ sustainability goals. Given that the building sector is one of the world’s biggest contributors to CO2 emissions and energy consumption, the researchers are seeking strategies to improve energy and carbon performance at the smart living lab, anticipating tight requirements thirty years from now.

Résumé:
Following on the heels of Mecanoo's School of Economics and Management and OMA/Rem Koolhaas's Educatorium is the recently opened Minnaert Building designed by Neutelings Riedijk. Energy-saving, sustainable and low-maintenance are the qualities informing this singularly designed rust-red building with its columns shaped like letters. These qualities are best expressed in the main hall. Here rainwater streaming in through large rooflights is collected in an enormous basin, thereby making a major contribution to the heat recovery and natural ventilation in the building.

The architectural use of fair faced concrete and the technology of concrete is analysed and explained in a clear, in-depth way using the examples of four buildings by the Swiss architects Miller & Maranta. A special focus lies in the specific implementation conditions and the architectural results. The Volta school building and the Schwarzpark residential building, both in Basel, are presented along with the new construction of the “Villa Garbald” seminar centre in Castasegna and the Spirgarten home for the elderly in Zürich-Altstetten.

Green buildings are designed specifically to reduce the level of resource consumed, whether energy, raw materials or water. This guide examines, through case studies how different approaches to green design can produce more sustainable patterns of development. The studies are described by their designers and often also by the client, thereby ensuring that the buildings are seen in the context of market realities. This new edition features new chapters on "green" schools covering the importance of school buildings to learning, design guidance for schools and two case studies of best practice.

Résumé:
In 1980, German architect Oswald Mathias Ungers (1926–2007) participated in a competition for solar housing. His contribution received a special prize, but the design was never realised and has been largely ignored since. Yet it remains the only project in which the architect explicitly addressed the issue of sustainability. This publication brings his design to light once again, and is the outcome of an unconventional approach to the architect’s design practice that was undertaken as part of the 2018 summer school at the Ungers Archiv für Architekturwissenschaft (UAA) in Cologne.

Henning has assembled a collection of rare postcards, some never before published, that provides a revealing and unique journey through Wright,s work at Taliesin. Included are intimate images at various stages and views of the building just after the tragic 1914 fire. The post cards also depicts nearby buildings designed by Wright, including the Romeo and Juliet windmill and two buildings for the Hillside Home School.

Résumé:
This volume contains work, both built and unbuilt, both large-scale and small, designed in the 1990s by the firm of Philip Johnson/Alan Ritchie Architects. Alan Ritchie has worked with Johnson since 1969; the firm was established in 1994. The projects shown may be divided into two groups. Johnson’s interest in the past decade in sculptural form - or the way in which sculptural form translates into architectural presence - has led to designs that involve both new kinds of shapes and new ways of using classic architectural form to make entirely new works of architecture. Such sculptural works, for the most part small in scale, include Da Monsta, the new visitors pavilion at Johnson’s famed Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut, and a spectacular folly consisting of four pyramids made of chain-link fencing at an estate in New York State. Simultaneously, the firm has continued its ongoing work with larger projects, such as a 27-story apartment tower for Tribeca, in lower Manhattan; the Cathedral of Hope in Dallas; an addition to the Amon Carter Museum, originally designed by Johnson in 1961, in Forth Worth, Texas; and a proposal for the architecture school at Texas A University in College Station. Also included are a pair of proposals for La Défense in Paris; three large houses; a new china design for the Four Seasons restaurant in New York; and a new public clock, sponsored by Movado, for Lincoln Center. Introduction by Paul Goldberger.

Résumé:
"44 Low-resolution Houses" presents a series of houses through a double technological and representational-aesthetic lens. All 44 houses collected here fall into one or more of the following categories of low-resolution: first, houses that vaguely resemble houses, using familiar low-res house elements like pitched roofs, chimneys, windows, doors, porches, etc.; second, houses that appear to be constructed in a low-res manner, in that one can see the construction, joints, and materials, and have a sort of cheap unfinished quality; and third, houses that are composed of low-res organization with basic geometric primitives squares, circles, and triangles arranged in a non-compositional or abstract manner. By these using these terms, low-resolution is in contrast to high-resolution architectural sophistication, gestural complex curvature, bodily organic figuration, and architectural paradigms focused on seamlessness and integrated smoothness. "44 Low-resolution Houses" was exhibited at Princeton University School of Architecture from 09/11/2018 to 11/09/2018. The exhibition catalog was edited by Michael Meredith, with a foreword by Dean Mónica Ponce de León. It was designed by MOS and Studio Lin, with photographs by Michael Vahrenwald/Esto.

Résumé:
Shortly after finishing their studies, Samuel Bünzli and Simon Courvoisier used their talents to master architectural challenges, achieving independent solutions. The restructuring of a residential building, a school, a laboratory building, a project for hotel rooms and a large housing development were architectural milestones. The projects illustrate the precise approach the architects take to their work. The source of their inspiration is the keen analysis of existing constructions, their environment and the programme generated by the construction task. They use these sources to elicit solutions and – almost as a matter of course – always succeed in shaping a piece of city.
