Résumé:
This highly anticipated new volume in the Review series documents some two hundred largely unpublished buildings in Tashkent, Genoa, Tbilisi, and Casablanca. These cities experienced rapid development during the twentieth century, each offering its unique response to Modernism. Rather than merely providing a historical survey, this book uncovers the underlying logic of these cities’ urban fabric through an examination of their prevalent built heritage. Over four years, architects Emanuel Christ and Christoph Gantenbein, together with teaching staff and students of architecture and design at ETH Zurich’s Department of Architecture, analyzed the featured structures to offer a wide-ranging array of original typological solutions for contemporary architecture and urban design.

Résumé:
Zhang Pengju’s buildings explore the intersection of architecture and landscape as topographical art. His architectural practice is deeply rooted in the terrain and local history of China’s Inner Mongolia region and at the same time embodies contemporary architecture at its best. He engages in defining and cultivating topographical order and demonstrates how creative thinking can transform the fragments of our living conditions and our lives into images of a unified world. The seventeen realized designs featured in "Genuine construction" exemplify the architect’s approach. Each project is introduced by a concise text and presented through color photographs, plans, drawings, and sketches showing the use of natural materials, smooth lines, and humble models that skillfully blend these buildings into their surroundings. A foreword by David Leatherbarrow, professor emeritus at the University of Pennsylvania’s Stuart Weitzman School of Design, and essays by Chem Zhao, professor at Nanjing University’s School of Architecture and Urban Planning, and Yonggao Shin, associate professor at Southeast University’s School of Architecture in Nanjing, round out this monograph.

Résumé:
Esch Sintzel Architekten, founded in Zurich in 2008, is one of the most influential voices in contemporary Swiss architecture. The range of the firm’s award-winning designs includes varied typologies such as infrastructure buildings, schools, and market halls. Yet, at the core of their work are housing projects in which challenging circumstances often lead to the emergence of very specific solutions and qualities to the benefit of both the individual house or apartment and the city as a whole. Esch Sintzel Architekten’s work is characterized by the prudent use of available resources as well as great respect for the existing fabric and its careful further development. The mastery of structural means enables them to translate technical requirements into expressive, beautiful designs.

Résumé:
Jadric examines the evolving concept of family in contemporary society, emphasizing that it extends beyond traditional nuclear units to encompass broader communities such as neighborhoods, co-living arrangements, and working groups. These diverse forms of "family" have increasingly adopted the characteristics of closely-knit, mutually supportive social groups, providing solace and resilience during challenging times. Through the lens of three distinct projects, Jadric illustrates the diverse rhythms of life experienced by different families navigating the balance between privacy and public engagement. Each project represents a unique interpretation of adaptive living spaces, offering a spectrum of possibilities for self-determination and fulfillment. "Intimate spaces" serves as a thought-provoking resource for architects, urban planners, policymakers, and anyone interested in reimagining the way we live in an ever-changing world. It offers insights into the profound impact of the built environment on our daily lives and emphasizes the potential of innovative design solutions to enhance our collective resilience and quality of life.

Résumé:
With more than 150 illustrations, this monograph offers the first in-depth look at the genesis of the Steiger House, a masterpiece of modern Swiss architecture, situated in the Doldertal in Zurich near other modernist houses, such as the Doldertal Houses by Roth and Breuer (1936) and the Fellowship Home (1960). Its central hall relates to Villa la Rotonda by Andrea Palladio. Detailed analyses illustrate the central layout and outline the chronology, typology and construction of the building. Further contributions illuminate its relation to local topography, the cultural context of the building, and important historical and contemporary architectural references, including the Steiger House's famous neighbors, the Doldertal Houses. The Swiss architect couple Flora Steiger-Crawford (1899–1991, also a sculptor) and Rudolf Steiger (1900–82) are important representatives of the Swiss avant-garde, and Flora Crawford was the first female architect to graduate from ETH Zurich.

Résumé:
Face aux défis environnementaux, économiques et sociétaux, utiliser des matériaux de construction disponibles à portée de main ou juste sous nos pieds offre des solutions techniques vertueuses, inspirées de savoir-faire ancestraux. Cela redonne aussi du sens aux métiers du bâtiment, encourage le développement de filières économiques locales, crée des emplois et ancre à nouveau l’acte de bâtir dans son territoire. MATERIA associe la pierre à la terre et aux fibres végétales, en mettant l’accent sur la réhabilitation du bâti existant. L’ouvrage analyse et documente les 40 projets finalistes du materia award à travers leurs dimensions architecturales, techniques et environnementales. La réduction de l’impact carbone des matériaux, embryonnaire il y a une décennie, est désormais intégrée dans les règlementations. Les filières se structurent, mais surtout, la conscience collective a évolué, notamment chez les étudiants et les nouvelles générations de bâtisseurs. Aspirant à un avenir différent, ils explorent de nouvelles manières de concevoir l’architecture et de la mettre en œuvre. Sensibles à la dimension sociale de l’acte de construire, ils expérimentent des matériaux peu transformés, avec le chantier comme point d’orgue.
