AMAG 40 GO HASEGAWA

VV.AA.

Why put Go Hasegawa as the lead-off batter? First, the lead-off is one of the most important spots in the order as it sets the pace of the game. Since the founding of his office in 2005, Hasegawa's career has been characterized by a slow and steady pace of growth. Beginning with the single-family houses in Japan and steadily expanding to other typologies and geographies, the evolution of his work is rooted in a reverence for history without being bounded by the baggage of that very history.

Arquitectura viva N.279: Flores & Prats

VV.AA.

For Ricardo Flores and Eva Prats, their practice is drawing, meticulous and meditative to the point of fixation. This is how they describe it in the new issue of AV Monographs, which covers more than twenty-five years of work, organized into four sections that shed light on a process of thinking in pencil that they pursue uninterruptedly, both in their projects and in their classes.

We the Bacteria

Mark WIGLEY - Beatriz COLOMINA

It treats bacteria as the real architects, construction workers, maintenance crews and inhabitants of buildings. Spanish American architectural historian Beatriz Colomina and New Zealand-born architect Mark Wigley draw on the latest research to rethink the past and possible futures of the built environment, exploring the intimate entanglements of the microbes within bodies and buildings over the last 10,000 years, culminating in the antibiotic philosophy of contemporary architecture.

Five Buildings by Frank Gehry

Frank GEHRY - Johan DEHLIN

This book presents five lesser-known buildings by Canadian American architect and designer Frank Gehry (born 1929) from an early stage in his decades-long career. Gehry is best known for his iconic building designs including the Vitra Design Museum in Germany, the Guggenheim Bilbao in Spain, the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the Dancing House in Prague.

The Designs of Arne Jacobsen

Henrik LUND-LARSEN - Thomas DICKSON

Best known for his sculptural Egg, Swan, and Series 7 chairs, Arne Jacobsen was far more than a furniture designer-he was a modernist whose belief in total design shaped every aspect of the built environment. His influence defined the clean, functional aesthetic of Scandinavian design, from architecture and interiors to lighting, textiles, and tableware, leaving a legacy that continues to inspire designers today.

Rethinking Obsolete Typologies: Transformation Potentials and Scenarios

Anamarija BATISTA - Julia SIEDLE

A profound social change can be observed in the areas of mobility, work and trade, as well as in the practice of faith, especially in cities. As a result, certain building typologies such as petrol stations, offices, shopping centers, cinemas and churches are being used less, thus becoming increasingly obsolete and contributing to the obsolescence of the city.

Sunday Morning

Txema SALVANS

A través de su mirada atenta, Salvans transforma lo cotidiano en momentos que invitan al lector a replantearse sus propios rituales dominicales.

Built Experiments - Entrepreneurial Networks

Matthias BECKH - Giulia BOLLER

With an impressive portfolio of over one thousand reinforced concrete shells, Heinz Isler (1926-2009) gained an international reputation as a designer of spatial structures. His practice was based on experimental methodologies that differed vastly from conventional approaches. This same pioneering spirit led the Swiss engineer to explore innovative materials and techniques in the building industry throughout his career.

Alpine Refuges: The Architecture and Culture of Mountain Shelters

Aaron ROLPH

In the rugged embrace of the mountains, alpine refuges stand as symbols of human ingenuity and resilience. These sleek and modern sanctuaries, others rustic and timeless, bridge the divide between nature's majesty and humanity's need for shelter, offering a place to rest and a gateway to adventure.

Willy Van Der Meeren

Anne JUDONG - Peter SWINNEH

Rooted in a firm socialist credo, Willy Van Der Meeren (1923-2002) championed an architecture for the masses'built logically, with as little material as possible, and endowed with the necessary elegance to make it through the day. Van Der Meeren did not preconceive architecture, nor did he postproduce it. He thought, acted, and built in the now, at a scale of 1:1. His architectures'almost without exception'are clear prototypes, awaiting mass production.

Architecture Today. Sustainable Homes

VV.AA.

Fat Ferdy: Architecture Today Sustainable Homes es una llamada de atención y, al mismo tiempo, una propuesta esperanzadora. Parte de un hecho tan impactante como revelador: el 28 de abril de 2019, el explorador estadounidense Víctor Vescovo descendió a la Fosa de las Marianas, alcanzando la profundidad récord de 10 928 metros bajo el nivel del mar. Allí, en uno de los rincones más remotos e inaccesibles del planeta, no solo encontró vida abisal, sino también los residuos del ser humano: restos de metal y fragmentos de plástico.

Penzel Valier

VV.AA.

Founded in Zurich in 2008 by architect Christian Penzel and structural engineer Martin Valier, Penzel Valier has established itself as one of Switzerland's leading design firms. It has realized projects that uniquely demonstrate the interplay between the two disciplines. The architects' portfolio includes a wide range of different typologies, including transportation and infrastructure buildings, office and sports structures, as well as housing, interior design, and furniture.

Antoni Puig Gairalt.Arquitecte i Humanista (1888-1935)

Marta CERVELLÓ

Antoni Puig Gairalt (l'Hospitalet de Llobregat, 1888 - Barcelona, 1935) va ser una figura clau de l'arquitectura catalana, en el moment de la transició del noucentisme al moviment modern. Gràcies a la troballa del seu diari íntim, Marta Cervelló, que és neboda-neta seva, ens proposa un acostament biogràfic a aquest arquitecte tan brillant, que va destacar també com a pianista. Va interpretar sol o amb Pau Casals, amb Mercè Plantada o, a quatre mans, amb Wanda Landowska, obres de Schumann, Mozart, César Frank i, sobretot, Bach.

Shinohara Kazuo

Shinohara KAZUO

Commemorating the centenary of architect Kazuo's birth, this volume reprints his self-edited 1996 collection of architectural projects, which earned a special award at the 38th Mainichi Art Awards. The book presents 55 projects, including unbuilt works, accompanied by a new essay written for this 2025 edition.

El Jardín Eterno

Caroline DAVIES

¿Qué mueve al ser humano a dedicar tanto tiempo,esfuerzo y recursos para modificar la naturaleza a su antojo,más allá de lo puramente utilitario? ¿Qué subyace bajo tanta realización verde,expresión viva de la cultura en la que se envuelven parques,jardines,incluso pequeños patios,a través de la historia? Solucionar esas cuestiones es el motivo que llevó a Caroline Davies a escribir esta obra: no es historia más de la jardinería,sino un ensayo que indaga en los motivos de sus promotores. Delicioso prefacio de Carmen Añón.
