Résumé:
"For me, the fascination with post-war Italian architecture stems in no small part from direct exposure to it – a familiarity that comes from teaching at the Accademia di Architettura in Mendrisio and countless visits to the country that lies just across the border." Written between 2012 and 2025, this is a collection of texts about the author's fascination with Italy and his interest in its architecture and urban culture. Many of the papers are adapted from lectures and course notes for students, and based on a way of working which prioritises learning by looking and advocates that architectural design should be rooted in the detailed observation of the existing.

Résumé:
This series provides a survey of the vast body of theoretical work produced by modern and contemporary architects and examines the major projects and themes of international architecture. The written word thus becomes a useful means of studying and analysing planning processes and questions relating to the modern city and urban and spatial design. These publications are not just systematic collections of writings or transcripts of conferences and public statements but are also attempts by the architects themselves to reformulate their oeuvre and to produce new, unpublished work. The texts are accompanied by original illustrations, often produced specifically for these publications, and by critiques and biliograhies of the architects' work.

Résumé:
This book invites readers to see Postmodernism in a new light: not just a style but a cultural phenomenon that embraces all areas of life and thrives on complexity and pluralism, in contrast to the strait-laced, single-style, top-down inclination of its predecessor, Modernism. While focusing on architecture, this book also explores aspects such as urban masterplanning, furniture design, art and literature. Looking at Postmodernism through the lens of examples from around the world, each chapter explores the movement in the UK on the one hand, and its international counterparts on the other, reflecting on the historical movement but also how postmodernism influences practices today.

Résumé:
Fourteen incidents that Waro Kishi identifies as having shaped his perspective and approach to architectural design begin this monograph, which goes on to present a wealth of selected projects by the architect in elegant detail. His personal interactions with 1960s Southern Californian houses, the Pantheon, Hong Kong, rice terraces in Bali, and more determined his path as a designer. The architect’s own selected works (39 in total) span his career from 1982 until the present. Among these are numerous private homes, the Leica Ginza Showroom, the Zohiko Urushi Museum, and an annex project for Kyoto City Museum, plus temples, lounges, and even urban-scale planning projects.
