Résumé:
This book is about architecture. It is not about history, although a bit of history is necessary to set the context. It is not about theory, although, again, a bit is necessary to connect the facade with urbanism. It is also not about structure and technology. And, most definitely, it is not about the plan.

Résumé:
This book is about architecture. It is not about history, although a bit of history is necessary to set the context. It is not about theory, although, again, a bit is necessary to connect the facade with urbanism. It is also not about structure and technology. And, most definitely, it is not about the plan. All of these topics are well-covered elsewhere. This book is about the facade. It explores the art and typology of the Venetian facade, not only as a high point of architectural literacy and achievement, but as a potentially useful contemporary stimulant.

Résumé:
The Artful Plan explores the potentials of architectural drawing at a turning point where digitization is setting drawing free from its conventional function of conveying technical information. What can architectural drawing be today? What new options does it offer for creativity in design? Which new ways does it open for including knowledge and methods from the arts, academic research and current architectural practice? The Artful Plan lays out the theory and practice of alternative innovation in architectural drawing in three parts: reconfiguring the conventional drawing; drawing responding to the influence of the digital; and the expanded field of drawing today.

Résumé:
Hermann Czech gained recognition in Europe in the 1970s with projects based on a strategy of continuation and convention instead of contrast. His work includes homes, hotels, schools, and urban planning, as well as small-scale interventions and exhibition design. In rejecting facile connections between theory and practice, he developed a multidimensional, critical and early postmodern position amid a climate of reformation and avant-gardism. Guest-edited by Christian Kühn of Technische Universität Wien, this issue explores the many facets of Czech’s architectural thought and practice through works ranging from furniture design to urban-scale infrastructure.

Résumé:
This book by architect Toshiharu Naka establishes specific concepts based on two systems: a “Social Cycle”, or a cycle coexisting with small economies, and an “Ecological Cycle”, or a cycle of natural energy and resources. He illustrates his macroscopic idea to integrate the two through his architectural works. Naka’s detailed speculation includes the live/work house, places for spontaneous activity, landscapes of grouped houses, realising possibilities for fusion, and dynamic programme theory. He proposes intermediate areas as spaces for interaction with the outside, giving visibility to the social cycle, or as thermal environments, allowing the ecological cycle to become visible as well.

Résumé:
Curated by Jennifer Gray, the exhibition ‘Frank Lloyd Wright Between USA and Italy’ at Turin’s Pinacoteca Agnelli is devoted to the drawings and designs of the famous American architect. Wright first visited Italy in 1910; there he would elaborate the ideals of a democratic architecture, closely connected to nature, that inspired his work and that of many Italian architects. In 1935 Edoardo Persico’s thoughts on Wright precipitated a decades-long engagement with the theory of organic architecture and its implications for Italian culture. This exhibition catalogue details the relationship between Wright and Italy, from prairie houses and skyscrapers to public projects.

Résumé:
Artificial Intelligence’s (AI) encounter with architecture is still in its infancy. However, current experiments and applications already are a testimony to their gradual intersection. This book provides an introduction to the topic through the triple lens of History, Application, and Theory. A chronology of architecture’s technological evolution first puts AI back in the context of the discipline. The author then presents a collection of AI’s applications in architecture. The book finally gives the stage to contributors working at the forefront of this revolution. From Harvard to Foster & Partners, their perspectives provide a panorama of the discourse surrounding AI’s presence in the field.

This issue features work by the winners of the 2019 Architectural League Prize for Young Architects + Designers. The competition theme, Just, investigated the exigencies of the just in contemporary architecture. In the words of the League Prize Committee’s theme statement, entrants explored “the implicit tensions between architecture’s affinity for the just so in materials, tectonics, and organization, and a call to act justly.” Amid escalating demands for justice and renewed focus on the ethics of architecture, the winners’ work exemplifies the diverse ways young architects and designers are both constructing and complicating the practice and theory of just design.
