Global Danish Architecture 4:
Crisis & Tradition
Marianne Ibler, Kenneth Frampton, John Cava
In addressing the tradition, influence and what is identified as the crisis in Danish Architecture, the authors consider many
different building typologies of architecture and in that context the work of some 15 distinguished practices including:
BIG Bjarke Ingels Group, Utzon Arkitekter, Wohlert Arkitekter, Vandkunsten, Entasis, Henning Larsen Architects, and Friis &
Moltke arkitekter.
Arguably unique, certainly authoritative, this book offers a penetrative contribution to understanding the historical
development in Danish architecture.

Zaha Hadid
CA Press
This study of Zaha Hadid considers her interest
in creating a fluid kind of spatiality in which the
geometry is fragmented and, cubist-like, the
perspective points are many and varied, thus
reflecting characteristics of the modern world. Her
forms seems to contradict their own solidarity thereby
creating an intriguing ambiguity. The features and
dynamics of her architecture are all thoroughly and
fully explored in this book.

Daniel Libeskind
CA Press
This is a study of Daniel Libeskind’s ideas and work. It discusses his design and his initial concepts and why he believes
‘architecture is a cultural science based on living, history and tradition, not a technology or a theory’. Particular attention
is paid to the significance of the iconic Jewish Museum in Berlin and through it a wider examination of his architectural
philosophy is discussed, including its source and its evolution. The narrative also explores the way in which his
architecture reflects a history and a continuing ‘story’. This book offers a rare insight into the mind and the architecture of
an exceptional architect.

interior design and its highest accomplishments.

Parking Structures
Construction and Design Manual:
Wayfinding for Tourists
Uta Keil, Ansgar Oswald
Markus Sheiber, Christian Lunger
Car Parks and other parking structures have generally been underregarded, shy and hidden sheds. However, in recent years parking
structures have been coming out of the shadows and acquiring the
confidence that comes with having millions spent on you and starring in
action films. This fine publication introduces over 30 international parking
structures, all convincing in their design and showing new trends and
innovations in the increasingly hot-housed world of parking structure
design. The book is thoroughly illustrated with images and plans.
The goal of this book is to communicate knowledge and information
which help in the planning and application of effective orientation
systems in the tourist industry. International examples from all areas
of tourism create a valuable overview of the subject. Topics covered
include: congress centres, hotels, museums, parking structures, and
medical facilities.

Medical Practices
Birgit Schmolke
Dörte Becker, Philipp Meuser
This work introduces the 50 best theatres and
concert halls built in Europe in recent years.
Outstanding architecture from Pritzker award
winners, Zaha Hadid, Jean Nouvel, Herzog &
de Meuron, Christian de Portzamparc and Rem
Koolhaas are represented. Also exceptional
buildings by such distinguished international
architects as UNStudio/Ben van Berkel,
Dominique Perrault and Santiago Calatrava.
Destined to become the standard book on
contemporary theatre architecture, it includes
comprehensive drawings and theoretical
contributions on design.
An authoritative and insightful book on the
wide range of modern interior architecture
used in medical practice facilities. 60 projects
are comprehensively shown with the help of
photos, plans and sketches. Also featured are
specialists’ contributions on the method of
interior architecture, within medical practice
design.
Modern architecture has at its disposal an
almost infinite palette of materials: natural and
synthetic, transparent and solid, of the most
diverse colours and textures, making it possible
to clad surfaces of any height and of the most
diverse forms. A building’s external and internal
skins are among the key elements in creating
its architectural image, its atmosphere and
mood. The examples shown in this issue of
Speech: demonstrate that materiality is not
just something specific to individual buildings
but a relevant, clearly visible trend in modern
architecture. Each issue of Speech is dedicated
to a particular theme, examined from a
contemporary and historical perspective, and
includes examples of numerous international
and Russian projects.

Franco Stella
About Making Architecture presents a new
generation of young international architects.
Eight practitioners from different countries show
projects that illustrate their architectural stance
and design method. The book focuses on the
design process, getting the architects to talk
about the issues and ideas behind their work.
Includes projects by Stephen Bates (London),
Minsuk Cho (Seoul), Emanuel Christ (Basle)
and Mark Lee (Los Angeles).
10 selected rendering studios introduce their
work in detailed interviews providing in-depth
reports on the latest and most important
computer technologies. A standard work on
digital architecture and drafting systems,
it draws lines of tradition and incidentally
rehabilitates this independent discipline
in the broad sphere of architecture. This is
a comprehensive overview of the earliest
architectural drawings through to modern,
highly technical forms of digital rendering.

2G Dossier
Energyscapes
This titles explores the peripheral
landscape on the edge of towns and
cities, It considers what precisely is
meant by the term ‘outskirts’ and how it
is perceived by architects, planners and
developers. The land is frequently an area
of ambivalent topography often either
overlooked or in transition and seeming
to seek an identity between the pull of
spreading suburban concentration and
the countryside. A dialogue of polarity that
perhaps starts here.
An ever timely review that considers
country planning, the ‘green element’,
in its complexity and how we can
preserve it while at the same time,
developing the projects necessary to
the social and economic life of rural
areas.
This book analyses the way in which the
huge structures involved in the energy
production sector relate to the world which
surrounds us. Through an analysis of the
systems, sequences and sources of energy
production it methodically elucidates the
numerous facets the world of energy
presents when it comes into contact with
the territory surrounding us.

DA 66: Fray Coello
Monographs of
Spanish Architects
Away from the traditional focal points of
Spanish architecture, Madrid and Barcelona,
the Sevillean studio MGM Arquitectos
stands out among the new batch of Spanish
architects, adding a peripheral condition of
sorts to the substratum of good workmanship.
The study of skins and their materials is not
restricted to merely epidermal issues, but
rather envelops and contains a whole series
of intermediary spaces that are neither exterior
nor interior, that give an added value to both
apartment and public buildings, and pick up
in turn on a whole tradition of intermediary
spaces in Andalusian architecture.
This commentary by Fray Coello – and those
who knew him well – on his work and career
includes and explains the influences, both
natural and man-made, that have helped
shape his thinking and ideas. In part it contains
sometimes quite private observations on
completed projects of the kind often confined to
personal notebooks and diaries, which, as such,
provide rare and unusually intimate insight into
his work.

ETH Sports Center Science City
Threshold to Landsape
Hubertus Adam, Kaspar Egger, Stefan Geiser, Kurt Murer, Martin Tschanz
The new triple sports centre was officially opened on the ETH
campus at Hönggerberg in May 2009. This attractive and
spacious sports complex, with its versatile range of potential
uses was designed and built by the architectural team Dietrich
| Untertrifaller. The low-rise building is ideally embedded in
the landscape, and one of its major characteristics is the
exemplary sustainability of its energy balance. This architectural
monograph documents the previous building designed by A.H.
Steiner, as well as the planning, execution and usage of the
new complex.

Blickland Schaften ZH+DVD
Sacrality and Aura
in Architecture
EM2N [Architects]
This title focuses on video work made within
the department of Landscape Architecture at
the University ETH (Swiss Federal Institute of
Technology) in Zurich.
Are sacrality and aura still essential aspects
of architecture? What kinds of reflection and
responsibility are needed after the experience
of Modernism so that architecture is able to
re-explore its irrational, at times even magical
means? Three prominent architects, Mario Botta
Gottfried Böhm and Rafael Moneo discuss
these questions.
EM2N stands for topicality, originality, highly
expressive concepts, and intelligent solutions.
With unconventional and innovative projects,
the young team has established itself as one
of the most successful architectural offices in
Switzerland. Projects include the ToniAreal, the
conversion of the viaduct arches in Zurich and
the cultural and conference centre in Thun. This
monograph includes a detailed interview with
the two partners in the office, Mathias Müller
and Daniel Niggli, revealing the way they think
and work.

New Monte Rosa Hut
Tonatiuh Ambrosetti
The new alpine ‘hut’ on Monte Rosa, at an
altitude of 2883 meters (9458 feet) near
Zermatt was opened in September 2009.
This innovative building emerged from a
collaborative effort between the Swiss Federal
Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich, the
Swiss Alpine Club (SAC), and many experts
and specialist manufacturers. It is also the
result of pioneering technologies in design,
calculation and building construction. In the
form of discussions, essays on special topics,
photographs and plans, this volume documents
the building’s genesis and planning and the
construction of what is a milestone in high
alpine architecture.

TV Towers - 8559m
Politics and Architecture
Friedrich von Borries, Matthias Bottger and Florian Heilmeyer
This book provides an insight into the classic architectural and structural battle,
to be larger, to be higher, to go further, that has been raging between TV Towers
over the last 100 years. It also sheds light on the associated societal and political
contexts these towers grew up in.
Since World War II, hardly any other kind of structure has represented the longing
for societal, economic and political change. This title takes a look at the TV Towers
in prominent cities around the world and seeks to explain how this architecture has
expressed the citys’ ambition, desire and aspirations of power.

M8 in China
Contemporary Chinese Architects
Edited by Peter Cochola Schmal, Zhi Wenjun
M8 in China shows a surprising range of work by contemporary Chinese
architects. This publication presents eight private, flexibly operating offices of a
completely new generation, whose works reveal some fascinating connections
between tradition and the western avant garde. Almost all the designs are
characterised by great sensitivity towards regional and historical references, while
simultaneously integrating traditional techniques of craftsmanship and modern
know-how. Whether it is an artists’ hostel demonstrating exciting interplay between
volume and empty space and light and shadow, or a museum with a facade
made of bamboo-clad concrete like a massive artificial cliff, or a tea-house at
the foot of a mountain with a traditional wooden roof and regional slate walls, all
24 selected projects represent impressive evidence of the high quality of a new
Chinese architectural language that has long established its approach within the
global context.

In 2010 the last stage of the International
Building Exhibition (IBA) Fürst-Pückler-Land
takes place in the Lusatian Lakeland. It has
been working to create a new face for the
region located between Berlin and Dresden.
With the economic, ecological impulse from
IBA for the required transformation, this is
far more than an ordinary exhibition – it is
a future-oriented programme for the former
mining region. These pages provide us with
a detailed account of developments and
present 30 large-scale and small-scale projects
from the ‘horizontal Eiffel Tower’ to a floating
diving school above a flooded mine. All the
projects demonstrate the imaginative diversity
of what will have been a successful ten-year
programme.
On the basis of examples from the UK, France,
Portugal, USA and other world regions, these
conference proceedings demonstrate the
unique opportunities for landscape revival in
former mining areas. Where else is it possible
to redesign a landscape from the roots: from
remodel to future usage?
One of the fundamental questions facing current
and future generations is how best to improve
the quality of urban living – a consideration that
inevitably raises ecological, environmental and
landscape issues. This book explores these
issues in relation to two extreme examples, the
cities Las Vegas and Venice.

The concept of ‘new land’, its design,
management and community value are among
the many related themes discussed in this
comprehensive survey.
Can large-scale housing development
achieve an urban renaissance? Large housing
estates have long been regarded as examples
of poor construction, political indifference and
social alienation. But in Germany reunification
and globalisation are in many areas leading to
the recognition that urban development calls
for large-scale residential provision with high
design values; well-built structures that address
social diversity, heterogeneity, integration and
coherence. This publication contains just such
models for future living conditions; examples of
good design that set high standards of global
relevance.
This collection of international projects in rural
areas addresses questions of spatial strategies:
What form do they take? What impact do
they have on rural ways of life? What effect
does the concern for food production have on
architecture in both rural and urban areas? Do
they encourage migration to urban centres?
It makes clear that more research is needed
in order to understand better the dynamics of
rural areas and to address current and future
challenges.
For many, Zlin in the Czech Republic is a model
for the corporate city; an example of planning
and architecture aimed predominantly at the
commercial profitability of the Bat’a shoe
company. International debate explored the
degree to which Zlin - the first city in Europe
based entirely on functionalistic principles should be regarded by planners and architects
as a guide to future planning and construction.
This collection of writings reflect on Corbusier’s
assessment that “Zlín is a shiny phenomenon”
and the enormous interwar construction
activities of Tomáš Bata, who hired renowned
architects and changed a town of three thousand
inhabitants into an agglomeration with 43,500
residents.

How can ‘Nordic modernism’ be defined? Did German
city planners look to the North for inspiration after the
Second World War? In what way did the social model affect
architecture and city planning in the Nordic Countries? What
specific features characterise architecture and town planning
in the Nordic countries compared with post-war Germany?
The 50th anniversary of Interbau 1957 presented a timely
opportunity to reappraise the Hansaviertel in Berlin and the
New Building movement. In this context, Nordic conceptions
of architecture and town planning seemed particularly worthy
of critical reflection.
The well-known Swedish ‘people’s home’ (folkhem), as well
as various national strands of modernisation, architectural
preferences, and even geopolitical considerations play a role
in the formation of the Nordic model.
The contributors to this volume have taken the example of
the Hansaviertel as an opportunity to investigate the NordicGerman exchange of modernist ideas – aesthetically,
socio-culturally and thematically.

Shanghai has been growing since Deng
Xiaoping declared the city as the “Head of
the Dragon” in 1992, effectively making it the
economic motor for the entire country. Housing
developments multiply with breathtaking speed;
entire districts are demolished, the residents
are relocated, multilevel roads are built into
the cityscape as new districts are selected for
development.
This book documents the exhibition and
conference “Shanghai (Urban Public) Space”
held in 2008 curated by Anke Haarmann.
It presents the works of the participating Chinese
and German artists including; Pu Jie, Wang Wei,
Dieter Hassenpflug, Sonia Schoon, Rufina Wu

The transition from industrial to information
societies calls for innovative architecture
in which a new and necessary kind of
learning can develop. Outstanding potential
exists in urban communities where there
is a concentration of formal and informal
educational facilities, but suitable space
and buildings are needed to create inviting,
encouraging and inspiring settings in which
learning can flourish. This title reveals and
considers the innovative initiatives taking place
in this context at Hamburg’s IBA
Volume 4 of the Metropolis series
discusses strategies and offers visions for
the transformation of urban spaces into
Metrozones. It shows how waste ground,
unused and unoccupied spaces in cities
and industrial areas can offer opportunities
for creative exploitation and sustainable
development.

Public space is under siege. The compulsion
to consume, increased monitoring and
continuous traffic expansion threaten
fundamental change to the appearance of
cities. In 1998, Folke Köbberling and Martin
Kaltwasser began implementing their concept
of an artistic and architectural aesthetic
of resistance to this appropriation. Using
‘structural interventions’ in streets, squares,
bridges, parks and interior spaces they
propose alternatives using urban ‘waste’:
rubbish, and other discarded or donated
material.

Portfolio collection
PORTFOLIO presents the work of carefully selected, innovative, national
and international architects. The collection is not meant to embrace the
designers’ whole life work, but it presents the general theoretical orientation
of their architecture as well as the characteristic architectural statements,
namely their style, art of detail, and the choice of materials used.
The similarity to an architecture magazine is deliberate: a clear visual design
shapes the bilingual volumes of the collection, attracting readers who are
not only professionals and journalists but also laymen, students, architects
in training — all those who show interest in the ‘producers’ of contemporary
architecture and their work.
The Post Socialist City:
Continuity and Change in
Urban Space and Imagery
Edited by Marina Dmitrieva, Alfrun Kliems
Urban planning under socialism cannot be
envisaged without its ideological purport.
Socialist ideas were realised in buildings, street
ensembles and squares, in films, literature
and the visual arts. This volume examines how
Eastern European cities are still dominated by
large industrial complexes and panel buildings.
The shaping of the post-socialist city with its
symbols, functions and metaphors could not
completely do away with references to its
social heritage.

Although arguably the most successful
Swedish architect, Gert Wingårdh is far
from the architype of a typical Swedish
architect. His work both in Sweden
and internationally, reflects a distinct
cosmopolitan influence and the solutions
he develops for a range of construction
tasks are similarly multiform. With each
new design he succeeds in finding
a suitable architectural language, but
always with an emphasis on functionality,
sustainability and aesthetic and
atmospheric qualities. This monograph
represents a comprehensive assessment
of his work and ideas.
In recent times Luxembourg has advanced
into a centre of contemporary architecture.
Among works by prominent architects the
oeuvre of one Luxembourg office stands out:
Christian Bauer and Associates. This practice
has enhanced the city and its surroundings
with remarkable buildings such as schools,
banks, museums, houses and offices. This is
the first monograph to present the practices’
extensive and diverse output.

Anupama Kundoo
Roger Anger was one of the most sought
after and exciting French architects of
the 1950s and 60s. Sculptural plasticity
and original modernity identify his unique
architectural language. This is amply
demonstrated by the 100 buildings in Paris
his practice designed. The three 28 storey
housing towers in Grenoble, the highest
residential buildings in Europe at the time
and the recipient of the Belgian Premier Prix
International d’Architecture in 1967, remain
as an icon of the city and a spectacular
example of his work.

a:p Architecture;
Positioning
Where does today’s young generation of
architects stand? Are there new fields of
practice and research in architecture? The
a:p series asks these questions, focusing on
the crossovers between architecture and art,
introducing relevant and exciting contemporary
positions. It will present projects and events
constructed, planned and imagined; colours
and materials; unconventional theories and
surprising methodologies and approaches.
The series centres on selected architects
and artists whose diverse development of
urban space means they are associated
with successful innovative approaches in the
international architectural scene. Following
leads between material and information,
between social requirements and advanced
technology, they generate sustainable
architectonic strategies for short and long-term
projects.
Between two and four new volumes will be
published annually – plans include books on
OSA – office for subversive architecture, ifau
and Jesko Fezer, and the artist Gunda Förster.
Future facades will become 3D displays.
New developments in display technology, so
called voxels, allow revolutionary architectural
expressions. Whereas before spatial
expressions have been largely determined by
the physical attributes of the building material,
voxel displays will shift these borders. This title
looks at the latest developments of the 3D
technology and considers its significance for
our understanding of space and architecture.
How consciously do we experience colour,
light and space? How do colours influence our
perception, change the effect of something
built and thereby shift the relations of space
and our judgement? Friederike Tebbe examines
the manifestations of colour, its perception, and
interpretation in relation to her own architecture
and in other practical and theoretical contexts.

The planning and subsequent use or
‘appropriation’ of urban spaces is the focus of
this book. Its thesis is that urban planning is
more than shaping ground spaces or building
complexes; implicit is the promise for better
conditions for living. Both the pursuits of the
planners and those of their target communities
are discussed and explained here in several
European case studies.

The Belgian association, Les Archives d’Architecture Moderne (AAM) was created in 1968 by
architects and historians interested in the quality of urban life. Its purpose is to encourage debate
about architecture and town planning, to collect and preserve the archives of architects and the
history of modern architecture and to produce books, exhibitions and lectures which emphasise
architecture and highlight the work of Belgian architects situated in Belgium and abroad.

Architect
Lionel Blaisse
Bill Lacy, Paul Ardenne
A man of many facets and strong political views, this fascinating biography examines the
character, career, and the intellectual development of Antony Bechu as they evolved over his full
and eventful life.
After studying at the special School of Public Works then at the school of fine art in Auguste
Perret’s workshop, interrupted by his commitment to the Resistance Movement, Antony Béchu
took his career as engineer and architect to South America.
In the post-war years Antony Bechu also took an active part in the in the Operation Million and
the reconstruction of France. Following this, his convictions drew him to the Confederacy of the
Intellectual workers, and at the Labor Union of Architecture, he was responsible for reforming
the Mutual Insurance Company of French Architects. He also sat on the National Council of the
Order of Architects before eventually finishing his career at the Academy of Architecture.

The Ecological City
Cyrille Poy
When half of humanity lives in cities, the
architecture and the town planning of these
urban areas are called on to play a major role
in limiting their ecological footprint. Associates
of Architecture-Studio and their team have
developed, through their projects, knowledge of
and a particular focus on the environment and
on vernacular cultures. The project of Deh Sabz,
a new ‘green city’ of more than three million
inhabitants in the North of Kabul, is particularly
extraordinary because of its size and specific
features of the site. This project is a testimony
to the work of one of the biggest agencies of
French architecture, which along with a regard
for the social, topographic and cultural contexts,
has no other ambition than to participate in
the assertion of contemporary and responsible
architecture.

Paradoxical Architecture
Fabre/Speller Architects
Xavier Fabre, Vincent Speller
Architecture is paradoxical; it always refuses to
fit into the slot assigned to it. Made to serve, it
always offers more than its simple use. Over the
past 20 years, the architects Fabre and Speller
have developed an innovative approach to
architecture that flies in the face of contemporary
exhibitionism.
Christian Hauvette
Monuments, Machines,
Dwellings
It is an architecture that follows in the wake of
poetic rationalism and theoretical questioning
instigated by Aldo Rossi, with whom they
designed the art centre in Vassivière. This
book, associating the main buildings they have
designed with their reflections on architecture,
reveals a project approach based on typological
imagination, discretion and the aesthetics of
distancing and the importance of the poetic
power of the setting.

he Ice factory, built in 1899, situated near the
harbour zone of Porta Vittoria was used for the
manufacturing of ice. The Ice Palace was built
nearby in 1923. Having been one of the first
covered ice rinks in Europe in 1957, it then
welcomed a variety of popular cultural events
until in 2002. It has now closed its doors to the
public for renovation. The air and unique light
circulating between the two buildings and the
proximity of Milan has encouraged the architects
to ‘reinvent’ them and to revive the spirit of the
space.

LAN Architects
Caraine Merlino, Manuel Orazi
The Parisian Practice LAN Architecture has
designed a head office for Marchesini France
in Paris. The office is composed of two distinct
structures, one contains flexible work spaces, the
other encloses a showroom, maintenance space
and storage areas. The entrance is defined by
the intersection of the two structures. The office
spaces are raised above ground level to give
a sense of floating while below the workshop
is anchored to the ground, giving a feeling of
solidarity. Delivered in 2008, the completed
project is detailed here and its performance is
explored from many perspectives.

European Parliament

Science + Architecture
Brunet Saunier Architects
Lionel Blaisse, Photographs by Georges Fessy
Muriel Gremillett et al
It is rare for even highly symbolic buildings
to arouse interest a posteriori. Nevertheless,
architecture is by definition long-lasting! On
the occasion of its tenth birthday the European
Parliament in Strasbourg was re-visited by its
architects, the Architecture Studio. This title
describes the occasion and their current and
retrospective thoughts on the architectural,
environmental, contextual, regional, social and
political fate of the prestigious building, which
in session accommodates 785 Members of the
European Parliament.
The Institute of Vision adjacent to the hospital of
Quinze-Vingts in Paris opened in March 2008.
A project of the architects Brunet Saunier, it is
one of the biggest research centres in Europe
dedicated to eye disease and treatment.

Located near the old port in Marseille is the villa
known as Les Bains de Mer Chauds, designed
by Jean-Baptiste Petri. This villa slots perfectly
into a mixed and complex urban metropolis. Its
formal language respects the Mediterranean
atmosphere and culture specific to Marseille and
the surrounding coastal region.
Not a ‘house’ or even a building in the accepted
sense, but a dwelling in a different register:
an encampment. An environment of decklike terraces and balconies, the sensation of
merged internal and external environments,
and the natural elements of sun and sea. The
rich association of ideas and materials offer an
extraordinary experience as readers are taken
through the spaces and levels provided by Jean
Baptiste Pietr’s structure.

The Nice tramway terminal, designed by
architects Marc Barani, is an innovative
architectural project rewarded recently with
the Equerre d’Argent 2008 and one of five
finalists for the Mies van der Rohe prize. Set
between steep hills and the sea, Nice presents
serious spatial problems for any large scale
infra-structure development causing the project
to be modelled around the existing buildings.
The outcome, as this book describes, is a
construction that imaginatively and effectively
fulfilled the architecture, landscape and urban
design requirements of both architect and client.
It also represents an exceptional example of
sustainable development within a high-density
district marked by a heavily used motorway
network.

Novembre Architectes
Transformation of an Old
Parisian Funeral Parlour
into an Arts Centre
11-21 Rue d’Alsace, Paris
Conversion of a Parisian
Building Anthony Bechu
Architect
Christine Desmoulins
Muriel Gremillett
Working on projects in historic settings calls for special discipline.
Evidence that the Atelier November practice has this quality and
a sensibility to match is clear as readers follow this account of the
transformation of a neglected city mortuary north of Paris into a
dynamic new arts centre. The agency’s positive approach to the past
led the architects to develop a well thought out and controlled design.
Their solution was fully able to meet the needs of this unprecedented
artistic concept located in Paris’ 19th arrondissement. Covering over
40,000 m², CENTQUATRE, a centre of artistic creation, offers spaces
in which to create works of art and exhibit them along a new street
running through the building, a route that also develops links with the
surrounding district. The successful result is further proof of Atelier
Novembre’s considerable skills and experience in working on cultural
facilities in historic settings.
This is the story of a renaissance. The renaissance of a building
nestling up against the Gare de l’Est, a building which, in its architect’s
imagination, was to express the might of the newly established
Eastern Railways Company. Over the years, this railway city has fallen
into disrepair and has been cut off from its surrounding district. That
is, until today, some two years after renovation work began, following
the SNCF’s sale of the building in June 2006 to the Commissioners
of Works, Atemi, and ING Real Estate. Here the work carried the
added demand of respecting the building’s history, which located
between the Gare de l’Esr and Gare du Nord and spread over
25,000sqm symbolised the forward looking aspirations of SNCF and
French Railway. The architect, Anthony Béchu, was given the task of
renovating the edifice without betraying its history, of giving new life
to 11-21 rue d’Alsace in its original colours: the pale pink tones of
the brickwork, the blue of the decoration punctuating its façade. The
renovation also included the re-creation of a glass roof in its original
location, a new pedestrian passage, a street between the Gare du
Nord and the Gare de l’Est and the installation of the world’s largest
private hanging garden. A renaissance completed in Autumn 2008.

Stylish Hotel Design
Applied Caligraphy
Carles Broto
Marco Campedelli
New materials for construction and interior
design are appearing at such a rate that it is
almost impossible to keep abreast of what is
available and how it can be best put to use.
Although the properties of these new materials
can reduce a project’s environmental impact,
for example, or make it more affordable or
more versatile, surprisingly few architects
and designers adopt them, while the vast
majority restrict themselves to old forms and
conventional construction methods. In this title
Dimitris Kottas discusses what can be achieved
with today’s wealth of innovative materials.
Clearly divided into different categories, the
information provided offers professionals an
essential tool for achieving the results that
best suit their own and their clients’ needs and
requirements
With ever-increasing numbers of sophisticated
and experienced travellers, and the growing
exchange of information on destinations, hotels
have discovered that they must constantly
keep upgrading and improving in order to hold
their appeal for discriminating guests. The
innovative designs contained in this volume
redefine the concept of what a hotel should
be. With thorough documentation, floor plans,
the architects’ own sketches and notes, and
hundreds of vibrant colour photographs this
book provides an engaging and stimulating
survey.
Caligraphy differs from computer graphics
because of its quality and unquestionable
originality. An inscription carried out by hand
arguably communicates much more than
standard typography.

The wide array of designs presented in this
volume offers a varied vision of the latest
trends in renovating buildings. Reputed
architects suggest inventive solutions for
giving old structures a fresh, renewed look
and for creating effective spaces for domestic
use. Each project description includes a
detailed explanation through the use of plans,
sketches, notes, construction explanations,
material details and photographs.
In Eduard Broto’s insightful new study of the
issues facing new architecture, he reflects on the
many different ideas proposed by contemporary
architects who respond to the challenges of
creating efficient and habitable high density
cities, all over the world. The book features
architectural and town planning proposals that
are part of a comprehensive effort to tackle the
demands presented by the need for sustainable
development. From single buildings, mixed-use
complexes and large scale works - including
KPF’s master plan for a new city in South
Korea and Hydronet the visionary network of
infrastructure proposed for underneath San
Francisco - we see the level of engagement
necessary to address the world-wide rise in
population numbers anticipated for urban areas.

and Herrman & Koch are included.
Prefabulous Architecture takes the reader
on a journey through what can be achieved
in the field of prefabricated housing. Projects
from some of the world’s top architects are
accompanied by full-colour photographs, floor
plans and clear explanations, providing anyone
interested in this area, whether architects or
future prefab residents, with a comprehensive
selection of different possibilities.
This selection of projects demonstrates how
graphics and colour can reinforce the strength
of spaces. The spatial application of colour
is explained by the creators of the projects
through texts and photographs. This is an
essential book for exploring the specific uses
and trends in colour. Work from some of today’s
finest contemporary architects make this an
excellent source of inspiration.

Rooftop Architecture
Edited by Loft Publications
This book uncovers one of the most interesting
architectural trends of recent times: the remodelling of
under-utilised spaces at the tops of buildings. These
projects reveal the infinite ingenuity of architects and
designers, while if we look beyond their architectural
value to the overcrowded nature of large cities, the
use given to these areas reveals a more rational,
sustainable and intelligent application of architecture.

Renovated Spaces
New Life for old homes
1000 Details in
Architecture
Renovation has become a popular architectural
topic and many spaces can be transformed into
a dwelling, such as old water tanks, industrial
spaces, old flats and warehouses. Whether
dealing with old homes that need upgrading
for a new family, or spaces that had a former
non-residential use, the renovation plans always
take on the characteristics of the previous
construction, they emphasise elements of
historical value, and are adjusted according to
clients’ needs and budgets.
This book serves as a reference catalogue for
architects, designers and constructors. The
material has been selected for its capacity
to inspire and propose innovative ideas on
how to approach the design or construction
of different parts of a project. Divided into
fifteen thematic chapters, the details included
are numbered from 1 to 1000 and each
one is illustrated with close-up photographs
and drawings, and they are explained with
concise descriptions next to the images. A
glossary of participating architects, designers
is also included.
This special monograph is a compilation
of current and representative projects of
Álvaro Siza, one of the most prestigious
international architects on the contemporary
scene. Siza’s extensive career has been
acknowledged by the most prestigious
architectural prizes, such as the 1988 Mies
van der Rohe Award, the 1992 Pritzker Prize,
and the 2009 RIBA Award. His works are
presented in their different categories such
as cultural spaces, leisure centres, office
developments, public buildings, homes,
and commercial spaces. A wide selection
of images, graphs and documents offers

Javier Barba
This book brings together the best designed,
best looking and most functional eco houses
in the world today. Built to make maximum
use of resources, reduce their impact on
the environment and improve the quality
of life of their occupants, green homes are
no longer only an option available to a few
environmentalists; they have currently become
one of the strongest design tendencies.
This volume features houses made of local
materials, natural resources for air-conditioning,
and active systems such as photovoltaic
panels, to mention a few. All the projects are
an example of stylish, durable and sustainable
architectural solutions.
Eugeni Pons was born in Barcelona in 1964.
His interest in photography began when he
was only thirteen. With his first serious camera,
a Canon AE-1, he took up experimental,
architecture and landscape photography. After
creating his own advertising photography
studio with a colleague, he decided to go by his
own and oriented himself towards his authentic
matter of interest: architectural photography.
He started collaborating with architecture and
design magazines and introduced himself to
the most successful architects in Barcelona,
which made his first collaborations possible.
He now continues collaborating with several
international newspapers, magazines and
publishers, and has won five LUX architecture
photography awards.
Javier Barba was born in Barcelona to a family
of architects. He studied in the city’s School of
Architecture and after working in his father’s
firm, he established his own practice, BC
Studio. The projects designed by BC Studio
are based on the concepts of integrated and
Bioclimatic Architecture, respecting nature and
its resources. In 1989 their project Semi-buried
House was chosen by the commission of
the European Community as one of the best
examples of bioclimatic construction. Fitting
each site with a building appropriate to its
characteristics and understanding the needs
and aspirations of the clients are essential
factors in the development of all of BC studio
projects.

As the home away from home, hotels have to be comfortable and
inviting in ambience, interior design, services and facilities. The design
not only has to be unique, but memorable. Whether you’re looking for
the elegant, the classical, the quirky or the homely, there’s a hotel for
you. This book presents 17 projects from elegant to homely, classical
and quirky, and is illustrated by stylish and informative photography.
Shopping malls have become part of our modern culture, an
attempt to commodify and create an entire subculture around the
simple act of going to a shop to buy something; a sophisticated
strategy to persuade people to identify as consumers and in the
process spend more money. This title presents a selection of malls
with personality. Mainly showing projects from the bustling cities of
East Asia, criteria include good visuals, good signage, good layout,
good design and interesting architecture. Temples for the shopper
of the future.

Presenting some of the most exclusive
establishments in Asia, this title mirrors the
stylish contemporary design that the private
club so often requires. Clean and elegant
designs, bars that are quiet to behold, private
rooms where the business stays behind closed
doors - all the touches that mark out the most
chic clubs - can be found here. Also featured
are residential clubhouses, with their chrome
gyms, swimming pools of purest spa water and
fragrant bathrooms of bliss.
This book focuses on the design of those
places where the modern consumer goes
to have serious fun. Leisure facilities are
a huge industry nowadays, and design is
constantly innovating in the eternal search for
the perfect cinema, the most delicate bar, the
sharpest and least violent after-hours club.
From lounge bars to bowling alleys, Space:
Entertainment features worldwide designs in
mouth watering detail by the likes of Japan’s
Glamorous and England’s Blacksheep.
Traditionally, museum and gallery exhibits
are displayed in cases or hung at eye level.
However, nowadays discerning visitors are
not necessarily content with this simple and
traditional setting. This book offers a wide
selection of designs for varied exhibitions,
from a swarovski bathroom to an entire
architectural piece showcasing “innovative
high-grade glass and gift articles”.
Featured designers include JOIDesign

Some 100 international works from leading
design companies demonstrate the health of
functional architecture at large today. Projects
by Concrete, 100% Interior, Sylvia Leydecjer,
Alessio Patalocco Architect, Lervik Design and
Kinney Chan and Associates with briefs for
public libraries, schools, stadia, exhibition halls
and museums all testify to some of the exciting
and original structures to have been built in
modern times.
With few exceptions the dominant
characteristics of cities are noise, traffic and
overcrowding. Escaping to a rural environment
seems increasingly the solution and in many
parts of the world this has accelerated an
interest in rural housing. Using architectural
projects by Garduno Arquitectos, Gassnerand
Zarecky, Graft, Philip Lutz Architektur, Studio
For Architecture and Oyler Wu Collaborative,
these two volumes show how that interest has
developed and the design and construction
taking place in rural areas.
The shape and cultural taste of cities is amply
evident in their architecture. The developments
in urbanisation and construction since the
1980s have brought in their wake many changes
in modern housing. In this context, we can
consider in these volumes works by a number of
exceptional architects which mark this transition
and point the way to future designs and city plans.
The architects include: Pascal Arquitectos, Ronald
Janssen Architecten, Atelier Tekuto,Byoungsoo Cho
Architects, Teruo Miyahara, Kow, Issho and Herault
Arnod Architects.

Landscape is the carrier of various functions
and processes. The space and environment
in which we live, the language and spirit of
place can be variously interpreted and have
a profound impact and influence on much of
what we do and think - in action and at rest. The
landscape works examined in this series are
gathered from the Pacific Asia region and other
areas around the world providing an abundance
of examples varied in scale, character and
context. With such chapter headings as City
Landscape, Natural Landscape, Architecture
Landscape and Exhibition Landscape, this book
offers a wide scope for review.

A client’s guide to engaging an architect
November 2009 Revision
Royal Institute of British Architects
Straightforward and completely up-to-date, A client’s guide to engaging an architect

projects – needs to be aware of when appointing an architect. As well as explaining
the considerable added value that the right architect can bring to the success of the
project, the guide talks you through the forms of appointment. General background
information outlining the importance of the brief and project management is supported
by an explanation of the RIBA’s industry-standard Outline Plan of Work.

Sanitation, hot water and

Biodiversity for Low and
Zero Carbon Buildings:
A Technical Guide
2010 edition
Dr Carol Williams
Communities & Local Government
Concrete:
A Studio Design Guide
Michael Stacey
This compact and accessible book is an
informative, inspirational, and highly-illustrated
introduction to the design potential of concrete
and its vital role in contemporary architecture.
It mixes key issues such as design, aesthetics,
and sustainability with useful technical content,
from guides to the basic principles (such as
column sizes, slab thicknesses and types) to
how to achieve many different concrete finishes.
The new 2010 version of Approved Document
G (sanitation, hot water safety and water
efficiency) will be available from March 2010,
and will come into force on 6th April 2010.
The revised Part G features enhanced hot water
safety and efficiency measures for all new
homes, with in-built protection from hot water
scalding in baths using protective devices to
limit hot water temperature, and the introduction
of a new standard of 125 litres of water per
person per day.
The built environment has the potential to have
a major impact on biodiversity, not least with the
increasingly demanding requirements to design
more energy efficient and airtight buildings,
leaving less space for species to inhabit. Up until
the publication of this book, there was no one
place where architects, developers, consultant
ecologists, and all those involved in low and
zero carbon buildings could find out about how
to incorporate provisions for biodiversity within
their developments. In this groundbreaking
book, author Dr Carol Williams has specially
commissioned architects to produce some
much needed model designs and practical
guidance for the industry.

Fee Management is a straightforward
professional guide for architects about
calculating and negotiating fees to maximise
profits. Clear and practical advice puts equal
emphasis on good administrative procedures
and on the softer skills of negotiation and
selling the architect’s unique skill in adding
value to construction projects. Packed with
worked examples, this book explains the
anatomy of a fee offer, advises on getting
paid, and sets out the essential management
tools for keeping track of the whole process.
Fee Management will allow architects to
cost architectural services on a rational basis
and, importantly, to ensure that clients are
persuaded of the worth of such services.
A practical and accessible overview of how best
to approach the marketing of an architectural
practice. Concise in style and comprehensive
in scope, the topics range from defining a
marketing strategy that meets your individual
needs and budget, to creating a corporate
identity, PR, advertising, and making successful
award entries. This book draws on the
experience and marketing skills of a range of
industry insiders from successful architectural
practices to award-winning design and
advertising companies. This is a clear, hands-on
approach that can help you give your practice
the edge.
