Bialobrzeski spent over two years traveling through Germany. "Heimat", which is German for "homeland," is the result of his journey.

Résumé:
Bialobrzeski spent over two years traveling through Germany. "Heimat", which is German for "homeland," is the result of his journey. For Germans "Heimat" is a rather difficult term which embodies conflicting tendencies: destiny or coincidence, sentimental kitsch for pensioners and revisionists, and lost paradise or childhood trauma. In Bialobrzeski's own words, "Having a home means having roots, which is not the same as being rooted to the spot." And since he is more interested in images than in places, "Heimat" is "not a book about Germany as homeland per se." Rather, it creates a fixed image of "a personalized bit of visual and cultural history." Bialobrzeski's photographs act as projection surfaces for modern man's yearning for nature-an homage to German Romanticism and at the same time bow to the works of contemporary American color photographers.

Résumé:
European emigrés have been changing the face of modern American architecture for decades. Winka Dubbeldam surely belongs to that long list of practitioners. Working across scales — from a New York skyscraper to a rural house — the Dutch-born architect has established herself as one of the most provocative figures in the field by seamlessly integrating function and form, technology and comfort, city and home. Folded glass facades, intelligent building cores, and interactive environments highlight the work of her progressive, process-based studio/laboratory, Archi-Tectonics. As much resource as monograph, "Archi-Tectonics Index" explores Dubbeldam's intense, research-laden approach to over twenty projects, including the highly acclaimed From HardWare to SoftForm exhibition, Aida Hair Salon, and Gipsy Trail Residence. Incisive essays by Detlef Mertins, Javier Barreiro Cavestany, and Michael Speaks complement lush photographs, informative diagrams, and her compelling designs.

Résumé:
Sea gardens have been created by First Peoples on the Northwest coast for more than three thousand years. These gardens consist of stone reefs that are constructed at the lowest tide line, encouraging the growth of clams and other marine life on the gently sloped beach. This lyrical story follows a young child and an older family member who set out to visit a sea garden early one morning, as the lowest tides often occur at dawn. After anchoring their boat, they explore the beach, discover the many sea creatures that live there, hear the sputtering of clams and look closely at the reef. They reflect on the people who built the wall long ago, as well as those who have maintained it over the years. After digging for clams, they tidy up the beach, then return home.

Résumé:
For over a decade, Brooklyn-based architecture firm SO–IL has been envisioning houses and other projects in between and adjacent to domestic spaces. Reflecting on the state of housing design today, often constrained by pressures of production, SO–IL approaches these projects with generous experimentation. They adapt and adjust the architectural and physical "body languages" of domesticity while operating through the framing and occupation of liminal spaces. The projects featured in "In Depth" represent SO-IL’s attempt to "hack" the codes, cores, courts and corridors; to stretch and inhabit "inefficiencies"; to turn the old stones and bring fragments of buried treasures from the past into the present; to question if housing for all should be the yardstick for the shelters of our souls; and to ask the future generations what kind of home we should design for them.

Résumé:
For many years, Orhan Pamuk kept a record of his daily thoughts and observations, entering them in small notebooks and illustrating them with his own paintings. This book combines those notebooks into one volume. He writes about his travels around the world, his family, his writing process, and his complex relationship with his home country of Turkey. He charts the seeds of his novels and the things that inspired his characters and the plots of his stories. Intertwined in his writings are the vibrant paintings of the landscapes that surround and inspire him. A beautiful object in its own right, in "Memories of distant mountains" readers can explore Pamuk's intoxicating inner world and can have a fascinating, intimate encounter with the art, culture, and charged political currents that have shaped one of literature’s most important voices.

Résumé:
Over the last 20 years, Manuel and Isabelle Der Hagopian have lived between Singapore, Vietnam, and Switzerland. The couple have built various dwellings in each location to house their lives and redefine their domesticity as a fundamental need. Each “nest” arises from intimate conversations between them and the spaces, giving birth to meticulously-crafted domains and lovingly-curated interiors echoing the spirit of the local culture. 'NESTS' features six of these dwellings—Seng Poh, TB80, Bi Khi Ni, Thi Sach, Beaumont, and Diablay De—as seen through the lens of Khoo Guo Jie. The photographer’s images of the life and love that imbue these spaces have been curated into booklets that are designed to embody the unique character and materiality of each nest. Together, they weave a voyage across different habitats and offer an introspective journey back home, in all the senses.

Résumé:
A l'occasion de l'exposition « La Maison Magique », les architectes de l'Atelier Bow-Wow (Yoshiharu Tsukamoto, Momoyo Kaijima et Yoichi Tamai) et Didier Fiuza Faustino ont choisit de travailler un matériau commun dans une logique de production cyclique. Ce matériau, le bois, utilisé dans la construction des deux architectures, est prélevé au Portugal et y sera réexpédié dès la fin de l'exposition pour une deuxième vie. Bien que les architectes aient décidé de travailler cette même matière, les deux habitacles qu'ils présentent offrent aux visiteurs deux réflexions complémentaires. Le catalogue est illustré par une galerie de photographies de l'exposition et du making of de cette installation inédite composée de deux maisons, Chigi House et A home is not a hole. Les plans d'exécution de ces deux structures à la croisée de l'architecture et de l'art sont également reproduits.

Résumé:
Published twice a year, the Netherlands Architecture Institute's house journal "Architecture Bulletin" presents essays (in word and image) on the built environment of today, yesterday and tomorrow-subjective arguments complemented by personal reflection, but always emphasizing the essay as an appropriate form for the consideration of architecture. These essays originate from design disciplines such as architecture, urban planning and landscape architecture, or from architecture historians, philosophers, artists and sociologists. "Architecture Bulletin" is about the ways that we arrive at judgments about architecture, whether we encounter them through the media or streamlined in a scale model. It is also about the ways in which architecture can imbue our identities and behaviors with meaning, in metropolises like Hong Kong, postcolonial nations like Indonesia or at home, wherever that may be. These essays are about every aspect of architecture's impact in our world today.

Résumé:
The Rammed Earth House is an eye-opening example of how the most dramatic innovations in home design and construction frequently have their origins in the distant past. By rediscovering the most ancient of all building materials, earth, forward-thinking homebuilders can now create structures that set new standards for beauty, durability, and efficient use of natural resources. Rammed earth construction is a step forward into a sustainable future, when homes will combine pleasing aesthetics and intense practicality with a powerful sense of place. Rammed earth homes are built entirely on-site, using basic elements—earth, water, and a little cement. The solid masonry walls permit design flexibility while providing year-round comfort and minimal use of energy. The builder and resident of a rammed earth house will experience the deep satisfaction of creating permanence in a world dominated by the disposable.
