Résumé:
Based on a 2009 symposium at the Delft University of Technology, the fifteen essays in Architecture as a Craft present architecture as a self-contained craft discipline. Social demands upon architects are increasing, for instance that of sustainability, with strict requirements imposed before designs are even considered.

Résumé:
Based on a 2009 symposium at the Delft University of Technology, the fifteen essays in Architecture as a Craft present architecture as a self-contained craft discipline. Social demands upon architects are increasing, for instance that of sustainability, with strict requirements imposed before designs are even considered. The book's contributors argue that the structure and integrity of designs – their craft – must underlie projects before external influences play a role. The architect's craft is approached from three perspectives: the outlook and position of the architect, the composition of designs, and the choice of building materials, emphasising how architects can communicate and justify their craft-based choices.

Résumé:
Thirty two large format photographic color prints focus on arctic and sub-arctic regions of Canada. Arnold Zageris captures the images using a traditional large format 4x5 view camera, technology that is unsurpassed for landscape photography in this digital age. The method allows for fine details and subtle nuances of form and texture to emerge. Although the colors and(...)

Résumé:
Thirty two large format photographic color prints focus on arctic and sub-arctic regions of Canada. Arnold Zageris captures the images using a traditional large format 4x5 view camera, technology that is unsurpassed for landscape photography in this digital age. The method allows for fine details and subtle nuances of form and texture to emerge. Although the colors and contrasts may appear enhanced, these works have no special filters or treatments. Zageris states his commitment is “to search and find the quality of light that can inspire the imagination.” His combination of traditional technique and methodical patience lends him the ability to show us a world we may not see otherwise.

This seemingly simple question is connected to a wide range of criteria—just like the radical quest for “good” food, which has produced a wealth of insights over the past few decades. This book showcases buildings whose construction has been based on simple technology, good craftsmanship and careful choice of local and natural materials, as well as local development initiatives that demonstrate excellence in building quality, landscape restoration and community revitalization. The selection of case studies is broad and definitely unconventional: it encompasses Europe and Japan, and privileges lesser-known authors, unobtrusive works and marginal localities where radically fresh attitudes have been able to develop.

Résumé:
This publication bridges architecture and textile by exploring fiber architectures from the micro scale of biological systems to the macro scale of textile and built structures. Selected case studies, essays, and interviews reflect on cultural practices and materials research through the lens of textile thinking. In the quest for sustainable and resilient approaches that meet the challenges of our time, the book presents fascinating approaches heralding a paradigm shift by working with fibrous materiality: structures become flexible and adaptive, they interact with their environment. As a source of inspiration, the book assembles exceptional contributions from the fields of architecture, art, material science, cultural history, design, engineering, mathematics, microbiology, and textile technology.

Sheug Yiu interweaves archival imagery, documentary photography, experimental data, and artistic work to acquaint us with the complexity of seeing in the age of algorithms. Not only does this book explore the act of seeing, it also observes the evolution of visual technology in conversation with our perception and surroundings.
