Forgotten Architecture - An Archive of Overshadowed Projects
Nero 2024 ISBN 9788880562504 Acqn 35930
Hb 22x30cm 308pp col ills £47
'Forgotten Architecture' began as a Facebook group, founded in May 2019 and dedicated to
researching and unearthing modern architecture around the globe that is not widely known. The
publication attempts to recover projects by obscure architects, delve into the work of "minor"
figures, and unite alternative takes on the history of architecture. In addition, several forgotten
projects by renowned architects, such as the house for Arnaldo Pomodoro by Ettore Sottsass and
the avant-garde Binishells by Dante Bini, make their appearance alongside resorts, gas stations,
drive-in churches, ephemeral inflatable architectures, and more. A series of critical essays rounds
out the research.

Shinkenchiku-Sha Co. Ltd. 2024 no ISBN Acqn 35951
Pb 22x30cm 168pp col ills £23.75
Manthey Kula is a Norwegian architecture office founded in 2004 by Beate Holmebakk and Per
Tamsen. This issue is dedicated to their practice and presents thirteen built works and five
projects on paper. The buildings result from the encounter between the given programme,
sensitivity to the site, and methods of construction, while the architecture overall is based on
storytelling, making, and how things are made. Manthey Kula uses words, drawings, and
materials to construct a new and potent reality. Targeting the public realm of fiction through
intuition and imagination, the projects featured here include a ferry port and hydro power station,
plus memorials, a rest area, and houses.

AV Monographs 264 - Niall McLaughlin Architects
Avisa 2024 ISBN 9788412796889 Acqn 35942
Pb 24x30cm 112pp col ills £48
After studying at University College Dublin, Niall McLaughlin moved to London, where in 1990 he
set up his own office. Since then, he has developed a solid career, defined by a timeless
language and an attentive dialogue with context. The latest issue of AV Monographs takes stock
of his career with a selection of twenty of his main works. Featured in chronological order these
key projects reflect a commitment to the discipline that makes no distinctions of scale or program.
Floor plans of bold geometry and facades of tactile sensuality are as present in the domestic
projects of Piper's End and Goleen as they are in the large buildings for the universities of Oxford
and Cambridge, as well as in the civic complexes in London and Limerick, in all of which shines
the so very British spirit of honouring the past without ceasing to look in the direction of the future.

Jean-Christophe Quinton Architecte
Building Books 2024 ISBN 9782492680236 Acqn 35956
Hb 18x30cm 720pp col ills £57.50
This second, massive monograph by architect Jean-Christophe Quinton is made up of a strict
alternation of sections of drawings and projects which, in this structural recurrence, reproduce the
incessant interweaving of his drawing culture and his architectural culture. He writes, "Drawing is
an act so deeply rooted in my practice that it has become inseparable from it, consubstantial with
it. It has become a resource. The existential experience of drawing the world, the intimate
experience of design drawing, and the shared experience of representational drawing are three
singular practices that each lead to a specific form: drawings to see, drawings to design, drawings
to show."

gta papers 8 - The Crit
gta Verlag 2024 ISBN 9783856764562 Acqn 35965
Pb 21x30cm 156pp col ills £28.25
Whether experienced as a courtroom, a competitive talent show, or a theatre of the absurd,
critical reviews are a confrontational and memorable rite of passage in architectural education.
The "crit" stages a drama where students are asked to present and defend their work in front of
peers, teachers, and external experts. A close analysis of the crit uncovers radical possibilities in
experimental teaching, process-driven design, and the presentation of ideas. Yet this analysis
also reveals fault lines in global architectural discourse and education, its historical dissemination,
and its contemporary discontents. This issue is both a critique and a celebration of this storied
rite.

Architecture in the Netherlands Yearbook 2023 – 2024
nai010 publishers 2024 ISBN 9789462088443 Acqn 35974
Pb 24x32cm 168pp col ills £49
Before unveiling the 28 projects selected for this edition of the yearbook, the editors examine
what the Dutch construction sector has delivered in the past year in an introductory essay, "The
99.85 per cent". Statistics are the main tool for establishing benchmarks in the yearbook
selection, which represents a mere fraction of total building production. The projects are grouped
thematically in order to highlight their interrelationships: workplace, education, client, mixed-use,
facilities, and housing. Standouts include the BunkerToren by Powerhouse Company in
Eindhoven, Tripolis-Park in Amsterdam by MVRDV, and KCAP's adaptation of the
Stationspostgebouw in The Hague.

Vesper 10 - Eden Project
Quodlibet 2024 ISBN 9788822922182 Acqn 35978
Pb 20x30cm 216pp col ills £21.50
Eden Project gives space and visual representation to goals. It explores the 'essence' of pursued
destinies, the tangible 'collapse' of imagined goals, and the tools employed in the realms of work,
life, and thought to achieve them. Karl Kraus once argued: 'Origin is the goal'. If Eden represents
the origin, as such it is eternally lost and only attainable as a goal. In his theses On the Concept
of History, Walter Benjamin referred to 'progress' as the project of modernity that compels us to
establish Eden as a goal, but it is our fixation on this goal that perpetually distances us from the
origin, leaving us trapped in the melancholic state of lost paradise.

AALTO - Aino Alvar Elissa - The Human Dimension of Design
Quodlibet 2024 ISBN 9788822922168 Acqn 35979
Pb 15x24cm 192pp col ills £28.25
The narrative of Aalto's design philosophy is a tale where buildings and design exist in perfect
harmony with both nature and the people who inhabit them. This intent, which has assumed an
entire new dimension of relevance in the decades since the years in which the Studio was active,
is the founding principle and key point of interest around which the exhibition catalogue Aalto -
Aino Alvar Elissa. The Human Dimension of Design revolves. In the Aalto vision, architecture, art,
and design are inseparable components of a unified whole, at the centre of which lies the human
being. Their buildings have become icons, influencing architects worldwide, while their design
objects, aided by the Studio's attention to low-cost mass production, have found places in many
homes and are still in production today.

39 Garden Plans - Unusual gardens for an ordinary house
Blauwdruk Publishers 2024 ISBN 9789492474636 Acqn 35982
Pb 16x24cm 40pp col ills £27
This English edition of the classic '39 Garden Plans' (1966) by renowned Danish garden and
landscape architect C.Th. Sorensen presents a series of exceptional examples of garden
architecture. Simplicity, originality, love, and expertise are characteristics that apply to the
gardens in this volume. Every garden plan is based on an idea, an inspiration that is depicted
along with the plan. The example could be a farm garden or a park at a castle, a greenhouse
complex or a Renaissance parterre. But the idea is the same all the time: the idea must be
realisable within the grounds of an ordinary house. '39 Garden Plans' is thus a catalogue of the
(spatial) possibilities of garden art.
