Résumé:
"No Trust, No City!" was the longtime credo on their website; "Some Ideas for Better Cities" was their first joint lecture series; and Acting in Public was their first book. For over than twenty years, the architecture collective raumlaborberlin has been searching for new spaces of encounter and for ways of achieving cooperative urban development. Together with experts from various disciplines, they experiment with new forms of urban practice, participation, and the joint production of space. "Polylemma" explores the work of the collective from diverse perspectives. Its nine members visit the sites of their work, come together with long-standing colleagues and critics, dissect the mechanisms behind their actions, and reflect on the tools and methods of their research-based practice.

Résumé:
This book examines the key role of the digital image in architecture over four decades – in the process of digitizing knowledge in theory and practice – as well as its influence on architectural design and visualization: The transition from the analogue to the digital age is analyzed on the basis of 51 design visualizations, from hand drawings to photomontage to computer renderings, in order to illustrate how architecture has been impacted by digital methods and media. "Architecture transformed" is the result of a collaboration between the Deutsches Dokumentationszentrum für Kunstgeschichte – Bildarchiv Foto Marburg and the Chair of Architecture and Visualization at Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg as part of the German Research Foundation program entitled "The Digital Image."

Résumé:
Fusing urban exploration with her trademark sense of wonder, famed videogame creator Ikumi Nakamura has spent over a decade infiltrating top-secret locations worldwide. Her daring escapades tap into a lost spirit of true adventure, proving that the world is still full of secrets and mystery, just waiting to be revealed. From derelict shipyards and military bases to colossal cooling towers, haunted hotels, and mystical islands, this book is packed with places you thought could only exist in videogames. Urban exploration is a way of life for those who choose it as their passion. The secrets and mysteries that disused places incite can be intoxicating and inspiring. As Nakamura has said, "I love breaking boundaries and making people say 'WOW.' As artists, we use our imagination to see the INVISIBLE." With a foreword by videogame designer-turned-photographer Liam Wong, "Project UrbEx" also features sections of Nakamura’s personal travel diaries, printed on pages with a narrower width in a rich Pantone black and illustrated by specially commissioned, exclusive manga—bringing her much-loved sense of humor to the forefront of the narrative and displaying her keen interest in exploring many mediums of creativity.

Résumé:
Extending the figure-ground visual paradox to a fundamental architectonic problem – that of the reciprocity between a wall and a window – this book by Mauricio Pezo and Sofia von Ellrichshausen reflects on the intersection between painting and architecture. If a window is inherently a subtraction of a wall’s surface but also an infill with a "view" beyond it, a painting is as much a flat, opaque surface as the illusion of space beyond. Containing over 1,000 works, including paintings, sketches, and line drawings, this alphabetical catalogue presents a broad examination of the Chilean duo’s practice to date. The book also includes an essay by the authors and an index of the artworks.

Résumé:
Design thinking has created divisions in the discipline: either designers are too theory driven or simply practitioners. Those feeling lost can easily turn to a language meant to inspire creative production in easy to pitch ways, where rhetoric uses design to keep power at bay, to celebrate hegemonic beliefs which are used to indoctrinate designers in bad education, incapable of imagining different futures. If you take away the post-its, the A3 papers and the markers, can designers think? Led by Antonio Gramsci’s advice that knowing thyself requires compiling an inventory, design critic, educator and researcher Danah Abdulla pays tribute to the late architect, activist and critic Michael Sorkin, whose original list “Two Hundred and Fifty Things an Architect Should Know” inspired this updated version targeted at designers. The iterative list is not meant to be a definitive how to guide, but to spark conversations, to prompt critical thinking and to help designers reconfigure their discipline.

This forms the starting point for ‘Unfolding Structures of Exchange’. What happens when three artists (Hans Demeulenaere, Nikolaas Demoen, and Marc Nagtzaam) exchange this red nomadic frame among themselves and shape it to their sculptural, drawing, and choreographic hand? The limited edition book’s accordion-style pages are accompanied by a text insert by Simon Delobel.

The highly symbolic photographic language of Federico Clavarino’s ‘Italia O Italia’ weaves an intriguing narrative. It is the story of a complex nation whose ancient ruins cast shadows on the shards of a shattered present. The book’s images were scanned from the original chromogenic prints and then printed in the darkroom by the photographer himself. Born in Turin in 1984, Clavarino studied narration techniques at Alessandro Baricco’s Scuola Holden. In 2007 he moved to Madrid, where he currently lives and works as a teacher of photography at BlankPaper Escuela. This is his third photobook.

Résumé:
Henri Jacobs has been conducting an investigation into two-dimensionality that involves the inherently flat nature and recto-verso proposition of a surface. Materialising in various forms, such as plaited paintings, murals, brickwork, wall hangings, ceramic objects, and drawings, the collection of works featured in this book were produced using a variety of techniques. In particular, the Brussels-based artist regularly experiments with plaiting paper, in which old and new works – or figurative and geometric images – are woven together into a two-sided, two-dimensional surface that is image, pattern, texture, and structure all in one.

Résumé:
Universal design offers a paradigm shift in how we understand and perceive human beings and the diversity of abilities within architecture and urban planning. The concept introduces a new approach to core aspects of architecture: sensory experiences, social sustainability, and architectural qualities and meaning. In "Universal design in architecture: On enabling and empowering a diverse population", Camilla Ryhl engages in dialogue with ten architects about their practices and understanding of universal design. The book introduces a model for applying universal design at three differing levels, providing a practical framework for creating inclusive and accessible spaces. It is an essential read for architects, designers, and anyone interested in creating spaces that harmonize with the varied abilities and experiences of all individuals.
