Anna Heringer
Editado por Arquitectura Viva junto con la Fundación ICO, el catálogo de la exposición 'Anna Heringer. Belleza esencial' recoge las principales obras y proyectos de la arquitecta alemana, desde sus edificios en Bangladesh - las Escuelas Meti y Desi o el edificio Anandaloy-, en China -los albergues de bambú y el Museo de la Cerámica de Majiayao- y en África -un campus educativo en Ghana o una guardería en Zimbabue-, hasta los proyectos desarrollados en Europa -el espacio para el nacimiento en Austria, un alojamiento ayurveda en Alemania o un proyecto de ecoturismo en España-, en los que ha incorporado materiales y técnicas tradicionales de aquellos países, como la tierra compactada. Bajo el lema 'La arquitectura es una herramienta para mejorar vidas', Heringer ha impulsado también iniciativas como el taller Dipdii Textiles para mujeres de Bangladesh o el Manifiesto de Laufen por una cultura del diseño más humana.
Form Follows Love (English Edition)
According to Anna Heringer, "Beauty has nothing to do with money or finance, but everything to do with creativity and love". With statements like this she clearly has her finger on the pulse of our time, judging by the packed lecture halls, international awards such as the 2007 Aga Kahn Award or the 2020 OBEL Award, and exhibitions at MoMA, MAM Sao Paulo, and the Venice Biennale. In Form Follows Love, Anna Heringer talks to author Dominique Gauzin-Müller about her career as an architect, her studies, her experiences during a workshop by Martin Rauch, her practice in the Global South, and current projects in the Global North. She shares with us the insight that clay is not only an environmentally friendly material, but in the best cases it can even trigger socially beneficial processes. Essential text describing the work of Anna Heringer, an architect specialized in clay How architecture can have a positive impact on the environment and society Building with local resources to maintain ecological balance Available in German, English, and French
The Future of Architecture
At eighty, internationally acclaimed Dutch architect Herman Hertzberger invited colleagues and students to reflect on the future of architecture. While questioning the profession's status as 'the discipline par excellence that has lent itself to the representation of a new, better world', Hertzberger acknowledges that 'it is exactly when the ground under your feet is collapsing that you need elevation'. In this pamphlet, Herman Hertzberger, Anna Heringer, Jean-Philippe Vassal and other contributors opt for ' building as building up, composing, multiplying, improving and establishing: the opposite of decline'. Recognizing the need to change our lifestyle and the way we build if we want to preserve the planet for future generations, these pages offer optimism, making the case to abandon all preconceptions and imagine a new way of practicing architecture that is not a derivative or feeble reflection of today's reality. The envisioned architect is sensitive to ecology, responsible, fair, creative and communicative.

Design for Fragility
The demand is now urgent for architects to respond to the design and planning challenges of rebuilding cities and landscapes being destroyed by civil conflict, (un)natural disasters, political instability, and poverty. The number of people fleeing their homes and being displaced by such conflict now totals almost 100 million. Despite the massive human and physical costs of these crises, the number of architects, planners, and landscape architects equipped to work with disaster and development professionals in rebuilding in the aftermath of conflict, floods, fires, earthquakes, typhoons, and tsunamis remains chronically low. Design for Fragility expands the nascent, but rapidly growing field ...
Earth Architecture
"The ground we walk on and grow crops in also just happens to be the most widely used building material on the planet. Civilizations throughout time have used it to create stable warm low-impact structures. The world's first skyscrapers were built of mud brick. Paul Revere Chairman Mao and Ronald Reagan all lived in earth houses at various points in their lives and several of the buildings housing Donald Judd's priceless collection at the Chinati Foundation in Marfa Texas are made of mud brick." "While the vast legacy of traditional and vernacular earthen construction has been widely discussed, little attention has been paid to the contemporary tradition of earth architecture. Author Ronald Rael founder of Eartharchitecture.org provides a history of building with earth in the modern era focusing particularly on projects constructed in the last few decades that use rammed earth mud brick compressed earth cob and several other interesting techniques. Earth Architecture presents a selection of more than 40 projects that exemplify new creative uses of the oldest building material on the planet."--BOOK JACKET.
