a+u 612 2021:09 - Urban Science And New Design Tools

Shinkenchiku-Sha Co. Ltd. 2021 ISBN 9784900212688 Acqn 31834
Pb 22x29cm 168pp col ills £30.95
This issue is devoted to new technologies in urban science and their applications in settings that
range from the aesthetics of urban spaces to participatory democracy and public health. Guest
editor Yuji Yoshimura, an architect and researcher at the University of Tokyo, seeks to answer
how such technologies will change the ways in which architects shape urban spaces. Projects
from Barcelona, which is at the forefront of using these new tools at the municipal level, are
presented together with recent efforts in the United States and Japan. In addition, these cutting-
edge developments are further contextualised in the longer historical framework of urban science.

Lisbon Architectural Guide 1948-2021 (2nd Expanded Ed)

A+A Books 2021 ISBN 9789895440160 Acqn 31813
Hb 14x19cm 446pp col ills £38.95
A construction boom in the second decade of the 21st century, driven by both the city's recovery
from the earlier economic crises of 2008/2012 and the growth of the tourist industry, necessitated
a second edition of the 'Lisbon Architectural Guide', first published in 2013. Now revised and
expanded with recent projects and new historical insights, this comprehensive guide to the post-
war architecture of Lisbon divides the city into sixteen urban districts, organised in respective
chapters. Each chapter includes an introductory text and map displaying the location of the
selected buildings, which in turn are illustrated with photographs, drawings, relevant data, and an
explanatory text.

a+u 613 2021 -10 Marie-Jose Van Hee

Shinkenchiku-Sha Co. Ltd. 2021 no ISBN Acqn 31816
The Ghent-based practice of Marie-Jose Van Hee is characterised by buildings that blend in with
their environment as if they have always been there, evoking reflection, serenity, and silence in a
kind of spatial poetry. Van Hee works almost exclusively in Flanders, and this issue features
eighteen of her designs, along with essays by Sam De Vocht, Sylvia Van Peteghem, and Hera
Van Sande. Each of the presented works starts from an aerial photo of the broader site and
context, juxtaposed with Van Hee's sketches. Besides private homes, these include housing
developments, urban plazas, and the renovation of ModeNatie Fashion Museum and Academy in
Antwerp.

Norman Foster Sketchbooks - Volume I 1975 – 1980

Ivory Press 2021 ISBN 9788494717956 Acqn 31855
Following the earlier release of 'Norman Foster Sketchbooks 1975-2020', which compiles a
selection of the architect's graphic production taken from his collection of notebooks, this

according to time period. The start date, 1975, marks the beginning of the initial sketchbooks
saved in the archive of the Norman Foster Foundation. The closing year, 1980, represents the
final decade of Foster Associates. Edited by architectural historian Jorge Sainz, the volume is
organised in sections, first according to architectural projects and second by regularly occurring
themes in Foster's sketchbooks.

David Adjaye - The Webster

A.Mag 2021 ISBN 9789895493869 Acqn 31865
Pb 23x29cm 64pp col ills £36
The third instalment in the 'A.MAG Long Collection' looks at The Webster's flagship store in Los
Angeles, a retail development adjacent to the historic Beverly Center shopping mall. Juxtaposed
beneath this monolithic eight-storey structure, Adjaye's design elegantly asserts itself as a
sculptural and experiential counterpoint to the larger mall. In an ode to the luminosity of
California's natural light, the cantilevered concrete facade presents as saturated pink while its
form also references and reimagines the brutalist envelope of the existing building.

OASE 109
Pb 17x24cm 128pp col ills £25
The history of architecture is often read in terms of periods that each have their own zeitgeist and
movements that each have their own architectural language. What happens if we depart from this
zeitgeist concept and use a cyclical history model instead? In the 1970s and 1980s, this question
was usually considered from the seemingly mutually exclusive points of view of the modern, the
anti-modern and the postmodern positions. Over the past two decades, contemporary European
architecture developed a different frame of reference, one in which the horizon is no longer
provided by the architecture of the modern movement. 'OASE 109' traces how, against the
background of this broadening frame of reference, a different understanding of modernity
emerged.

Working Environments. Spaces of Productivity

Deutscher Architektur Verlag 2021 ISBN 9783946154532 Acqn 31877
Hb 22x29cm 304pp col ills £64
Our way of working is subject to constant processes of transformation. From the challenges and
opportunities of digitalisation and issues of sustainability in production, administration, and office
structures, to healthcare strategies and contemplation, architecture must translate influences on
the realm of work into space. We need workplaces that not only provide the materials for carrying
out professional activities but also contribute to identification and well-being. With high standards
in architecture and interior design, these innovative and game-changing working environments
respond to the desire for concentration and optimised workflows while also focusing on the
people who work there.

A.Mag 24 – MORQ
AMAG Editorial 2021 ISBN 9789895493838 Acqn 31878
MORQ is an Italian office established in 2001 by Matteo Monteduro, Emiliano Roia, and Andrea
Quagliola. Their work ranges from small-scale projects to large landscape and urban plans, with
meaningful spaces integrated within simple and thoughtful buildings, in dialogue with existing
conditions. As such, MORQ sees constraints as a starting point for its designs, not impediments
to creativity. Featured in this issue are fifteen small-scale works, both built and unbuilt, that
demonstrate the studio's talent for envisioning intimate yet open spaces that engage with shades
of natural light, changing throughout the day and activated by the emotive and sensorial qualities
of the materials.

Biodivercity - A Matter Of Vital Soil!

This publication represents a quest for biodiversity in the city. Declining biodiversity in the
countryside has been in the spotlight for years. Healthy soil life is of vital importance. Biodiversity
in the city appears to be hidden. How do you design a public space that is anchored in healthy
soil? Hidden in the soil, up to 100 million species of micro-organisms work together with fungi and
plant roots to form networks that ensure a healthy living environment. Without soil, we cannot
survive. Yet we treat our living environment inattentively. The growing world population is moving
to cities, annexing surrounding areas and literally squeezing the life out of the soil. The urban
climate, urbanised environment and urban water balance are detrimental to healthy soil life.

Des-Habitat (Revised Second Edition)

K. Verlag 2021 ISBN 9783947858200 Acqn 31935
With this publication, Brazilian architect, curator, and activist Paulo Tavares intervenes in
'Habitat', the arts and design magazine edited by architect Lina Bo Bardi in the 1950s. At the
time, the magazine propagated images of modern art and architecture, but also images of
popular and indigenous crafts and artefacts. In this way, it simultaneously introduced its audience
to the vocabulary of modernism and to vernacular and native forms of cultural expression. Here,
Tavares investigates how the aesthetic language of 'Habitat' framed such objects and images.
