Eloquent Silences - Writings on Art and Architecture

Cosa Mentale 2020 ISBN 9782491039028 Acqn 30907
Pb 17x24cm 172pp ills £27

Jorge Luis Borges, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Yasushiro Ozu, Mark Rothko, Jorge Oteiza - a
writer, an architect, a filmmaker, a painter, a sculptor. Five personalities of the 20th century
separated by their mediums, their subjects of investigation and their disciplines. They are brought
together in this book by the need to save art from its current alteration, and to bring it back to a
more contemplative and introspective dimension.The key words of this consideration, which has
the appearance of a manifesto, are: silence, contemplation, renunciation, transparency,
anonymity and atemporality. Twenty years later, the lesson of Carlos Marti Ari is contemporary
and of fundamental importance for our discipline today.

Wanderspace Zwerfruimte

Hb 10x21cm 336pp col ills £33.50

While open spaces are becoming increasingly scarce, we continue to overlook the possibilities of
what has already been built. With this book, RE-ST puts the needless growth of the existing
patrimony on the agenda. They define "wanderspace" as built and unbuilt space that we produce
together, and yet underutilise on a daily basis. Space that is present everywhere and nowhere on
different scales. The task of detecting, mapping, and activating it is an opportunity for architects.
The research project "Wanderspace" was awarded the BWMSTR Label in 2018. RE-ST is a
Flemish architecture and research firm that looks for solutions to urgent and complex spatial
issues.

Ja 117- Kunio Maekawa

Shinkenchiku-Sha Co. Ltd. 2020 ISBN 9784786903144 Acqn 30878
Pb Pb 22x30cm 184pp col ills £37

JA 117 features Kunio Maekawa (1905-1986), a leading figure in Japanese modernist

architecture, who has worked for both Le Corbusier and Antonin Raymond. Guest editor Hera van
Sande, a Belgian architect, introduces her unique vision on Maekawa from both a Western
perspective and an architect's perspective. Kunio Maekawa's work has established a Japanese
architectural identity within the context of modernism. His work is therefore intricately intertwined
with both modernism and Japaneseness. Based on this idea, this issue approaches Kunio
Maekawa's work from these two main aspects.

Sven Tonsager - My Book Cracks, Hinges Xfoliations

Arkitektur B 2020 ISBN 9788792700315 Acqn 30973
Pb 23x33cm 312pp col ills £52.25

The Norwegian-Danish architect Svein Tonsager passed away in 2006, but lives on in his
influence from the 1970s onward. This monograph offers a comprehensive look at Tonsager's
drawings, models, and works as part of a network of architects who explored the field of
architectural drawings from a perspective somewhere between fantasy and reality. As a teacher
at the School of Architecture in Aarhus, he invited peers such as Peter Cook, Lebbeus Woods,
and Zaha Hadid to Scandinavia, thereby contributing to its international reputation and his own
sources of inspiration. The book includes texts by Michael Sorkin, Christine Hawley, Carsten
Thau, and others.

'AV Proyectos 99' devotes its dossier to Foster + Partners, covering the latest proposals the
British office is now developing in different countries, focussed all of them in the search for
sustainability and in the commitment with the future of the environment. The competition section
features the winning project, by Carmody Groarke, and the four finalists in the call to extend the
Design Museum Gent. The chapter after it includes seven buildings constructed in stone, and that
show the qualities of an ancestral material whose expressive potential, together with its durability,
strength, thermal inertia, and sustainability have turned it into one of the most highly valued
among architects.

Arquitectura Viva 226 - Roldan + Berengue.Recupera La Memoiria

Avisa 2020 no ISBN Acqn 30948
Pb 24x30cm 80pp col ills £21

Linked to Barcelona, where they have their studio set up and also teach, Miguel Roldan and
Merce Berengue think of architecture as a search for possibilities that serves both as a perusal of
the different layers of reality and an opportunity to transform it. Their buildings address the
demands specific to each and every context, over and above personal styles. This issue features
three new works in the city of Barcelona: 46 social dwellings built in a fomer Fabra & Coats plant;
Espai Bombers, an exhibition and information center made out of a 1929 construction; and
Rambla 124, the result of turning a historical hotel into a retail, office, and residential building.

architecture, and the measures needed to guarantee the accessibility of cities.

Jaipur - A Planned City Of Rajasthan

Altrim 2020 ISBN 9788494933011 Acqn 30951
Pb 25x25cm 246pp col ills £36.50

The Indian city of Jaipur is particularly famous for the strangeness of its monuments and the
predominantly pink colour of its buildings. Yet this book dives into the heart of the city and its
architecture to further examine the history, urbanism, and architecture that have become
symbolic of the old centre of Jaipur. Setting out on an exploration of the city's districts beyond the
palace walls, it offers many discoveries and surprises through direct contact with the urban fabric.
This leads to an improved understanding of why Jaipur is unusual among pre-modern Indian
cities, with its broad avenues dividing six urban quarters, which in turn contain networks of
gridded streets.

OverHolland 20
Uitgeverij Vantilt 2020 ISBN 9789460044076 Acqn 30995
Pb 23x22cm 204pp col ills £25.50

OverHolland 20 looks at the future development of Amsterdam from various points of view. Since
2016 the city of Amsterdam, which is famed for its expansion plans, has been focusing closely on
densification. As part of its strategy to develop a city with high quality of life (based on a circular
economy and health), the city council's 'Target 2025: room for the city' programme aims for
densification with at least 50,000 new dwellings. Most of these will be created in the 'Ring Zone':
the area between the pre- and post-war city along the A10 motorway, the circular railway and the
banks of the River IJ.
