Opening Cities - Migrants In Urban Space
Thoth Uitgeverij 2022 ISBN 9789068688535 Acqn 32626
Pb 17x24cm 240pp col ills £26.50
Migration is one of the most pressing and complex spatial urban challenges in Europe today. At
present, not a single urban strategy convincingly enables us to receive new arrivals - labour
migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, etc. - at the heart of our societies and cities. Policymakers
often see migrants' housing problems as temporary. Not only does this lead to exclusion and
missed opportunities, it also results in a monoculture that can be seen as negative for urban
space. By focusing on two case studies, in Athens and Amsterdam, Lena Kappers presents a
strategy in three steps that forms the basis for an alternative approach to the organisation of
migration in the European city.

Shinkenchiku March 2022 Special Issue - Japan National Stadium
Shinkenchiku-Sha Co. Ltd. 2022 ISBN 9784786903267 Acqn 32694
Pb 22x30cm 200pp col ills £45
The Japan National Stadium was completed at the end of November 2019. The new stadium
connects to the surrounding environment through its abundant use of wood, building height
reduced to a minimum, and intermediate spaces created by eaves and engawa, despite being a
massive sports facility that can house over 60,000 people for games and events such as the
Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games. This special issue captures the National Stadium through
various themes, recording and introducing in detail the design concept and process, engineering,
construction, etc.

a+u 622 07:22 - Landscape Urbanism in France
Shinkenchiku-Sha Co. Ltd. 2022 ISBN 9784900212794 Acqn 32698
Pb 22x29cm 168pp col ills £27.75
Since the 1970s, the pioneering generation of Michel Corajoud, Alexandre Chemetoff, Gilles
Clement, and Jacques Simon have brought the modern discipline of landscape architecture to the
urban realm in France, along with its emphasis on a horticultural approach. Yet this urban turn
has deep roots in agriculture and land management, formal gardens, and the military and civil
engineering practices of the nation's early modern period in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Exploring the evolution of the discipline among French practitioners while taking stock of the
multitude of forms, this issue features six canonical works by these pioneers and seventeen
projects representing current trends.

Back To The Office - 50 Revolutionary Office Buildings And How They Sustained
nai010 publishers 2022 ISBN 9789462086524 Acqn 32710
Hb 24x32cm 520pp col ills £72.50
Able to work anywhere we have a tortured relationship with the office today. Desperate to work
again in physically shared spaces, we are also now questioning whether offices are needed at all.
Offices themselves labour under intolerable forces too: 21st-century building regulations suggest
redesigning them every seven-to-ten years, managerial strategies shift every five years, and
employees cycle every two. As a result, offices are renewed with alarming frequency. With the
future of our workspaces so uncertain, Back to the Office works overtime inside the revolutionary
offices of the 20th century, and asks what endured from their architecture, their materials, and the
work ideologies they embodied.

Bauhaus X IKEA - Legacies of Modernism
Uro Publications 2022 ISBN 9781922601209 Acqn 32717
Pb 21x30cm 136pp col ills £34.95
The Bauhaus and IKEA are two of the most prominent 20th-century design icons. This book
examines the far-reaching influence of the short-lived but pioneering art school, a crucible for
much of what came to be known as modernist design, and the massive furniture company,
launched just ten years after the Bauhaus closed. The mass manufacturing techniques the
Bauhaus imagined would transform daily life for the better became the theoretical and functional
foundation for IKEA. Through a selection of essays and images, 'Bauhaus X IKEA' traces the
profound but not always benign influence of these global design icons across history, politics,
pedagogy, art, and society.

AV Monographs 243-244 - Spain 2022
Avisa 2022 ISBN 9788412520231 Acqn 32722
Pb 24x30cm col ills £69
After the traumatic experience of the previous year, 2021 was the year of overcoming the
pandemic and of preparing for a long-awaited return to normalcy. The AV Monographs Yearbook
goes over the most important events of the period, gathering twenty-four buildings that represent
the best architecture constructed in Spain. Aside from a few large-scale works, like the Cordoba
Library by Paredes Pedrosa or the Celta FC Sports City by Irisarri Pinera, the selection clearly
reflects how the climate crisis has become a top priority for architects, especially the younger
ones, who choose sustainable materials like wood, used in the apartments by Peris Toral and by
Bosch Capdeferro, in the fire station by Josep Ferrando, or in the small social pavilion by Behark.

Log 54 – Coauthoring
Anyone Corporation 2022 ISBN 9781736500729 Acqn 32586
Pb 17x24cm 176pp col ills £22
With the addition of the prefix "co-", the word authoring is expanded beyond the idea of the
singular writer to a multiplicity that includes both people and things. In this issue, guest edited by
Ana Miljacki and Ann Lui, coauthoring functions as both noun and verb. In architecture,
authorship is an uncommon term, and yet books and mass media have created the idea of an
architectural author that is singular and does not reflect the teams of people and things that
produce buildings. Architecture may always have been a collaborative project, but as this issue
shows, the introduction of coauthoring into the terminology of design discourse refers to more
than individual credit for a project.

Dixit 04 - On Process Jan Kinsbergen/David Klemmer
Caryatide 2022 ISBN 9782493283108 Acqn 32703
Pb 23x30cm 64pp col ills £20.25
This fourth issue features a dichotomous visual atlas around the theme of the process, with input
from architects Jan Kinsbergen and David Klemmer. A visual documentary of architectonic
conception, structural engineering, and visualisation, it shows how the ultimate ambition of the
real construction site only marks the start of another process of appropriation, life cycle analysis,
and change. Kinsbergen studied architecture at ETH Zurich and later moved to New York City,
where he worked at Steven Holl's office until 1999. Klemmer is an Austrian architect based in
Zurich who has worked as a CGI artist in collaboration with renowned architecture firms for over a
decade.

Pb 24x30cm 80pp col ills £21
The generation born since 1986, the year Spain joined the European Union, marks a turning point
in Spanish architecture. They started architecture school during years of plenty, only to soon find
themselves challenged by the sombre reality of recession. Now, these young architects are
dealing with a pandemic that has eroded all hope of stability. For 'Ecosistemas.zip', four curators
examined the work processes of architects under 35 years old to define the professional
ecosystem in which they operate. A selection from among the 300 practices in the exhibition's
database features in this issue, along with special projects that illustrate the country's young
architectural scene.

Blauwdruk Publishers 2022 ISBN 9789492474568 Acqn 32725
Pb 17x24cm 176pp col ills £25.95
Marc Wilson's images of World War II defence structures inspire thinking about how we deal with
these scars in the landscape. Should they be left to the elements and become ruins? Or are they
useable for new functions? In the Netherlands, designers are turning similar objects into
extraordinary places. The global pandemic has been a time of experimentation as we tried to
navigate altered cities. How might a period of upheaval help us rethink the future trends of urban
development? Plus, a portrait of the female-led and ecologically focused Finnish office Nomaji,
street art in Madrid as sociocultural intervention, the importance of rural places for urban renewal,
and more.

Urban Commons Handbook
DPR-BARCELONA 2022 ISBN 9788412494211 Acqn 32728
Pb 15x21cm 218pp col ills £16.50
Cities have always been a critical space of experimentation. The urban commons transform cities
around the globe through projects and practices that challenge capitalist accumulation, extraction,
and enclosure. Together, they give shape to a political proposal that requires the invention of new
kinds of institutions, spaces, and actors responsible for their production and reproduction. The
Urban Commons Research Collective offers this handbook - a compilation of definitions,
experiences, and references - as a way to address some of the questions that arise when
thinking about the urban commons as open organisational systems for collective management.
