Quartier Ecoparc / Ecoparc Quarter
Quartier Ecoparc in Neuchâtel creates a radical and innovative modern city-planning connection between the area surrounding the railroad station and the historic older city. Bruno Marchand documents and analyzes all aspects of this model neighborhood development, which merits comparison with the best international examples.
Pathfinders
Written by Joseph Abram, this book presents and fully documents the last buildings and a selection of projects of Devanthery and Lamuniere's works. The text focuses on the creative process of the architects, the design methods, the architectonic development and cultural background of the key aspects of their architecture. The book is beautifully designed by Dominique Emmenegger in continuity with the first monography Fo(u)r Example(s), 1996. Photographs by Fausto Pluchinotta document the buildings, projects, as well as the drawings, models, and objects which surround and give depth to the quality of Devanthery & Lamuniere's built projects.
Universal Singular
A critical introduction to the design of public spaces The way public spaces are designed reflects the period in which they were created. However, in our globalized world of experience and images the desire for uniqueness tends to achieve the opposite: increasingly, designers of open spaces resort to the same devices and thereby distance themselves from the urban context. The author analyzes ten outstanding contemporary designs of public spaces in Europe in terms of their function in the urban context and what materials are used for their implementation. In interviews with the designers she retraces the changes of the concepts during the design stage of the projects, underpinning her findings with numerous sketches. In addition, her research focuses on how the projects were received in the community. Learning from designers of outstanding public spaces in Europe Numerous unpublished design sketches A clear guide to urban design Also available in a French edition

Leandro Valencia Locsin
The largely unknown oeuvre of the Philippine architect Leandro V. Locsin (1928-1994) embodies the search for identity in the built environment. Having completed his studies, Locsin opened his practice in 1953 in the capital Manila which, after the aerial attacks by the Allied forces for the liberation of the Philippines from Japanese occupation, had been almost completely destroyed. The reconstruction, as well as technical innovations and favorable political and economic conditions, made it possible for him to design a wide range and large number of projects, including hotels, commercial buildings, churches, cultural venues, and public buildings. His work combines inspiration from modernism with local traditions and comprises a total of 245 projects, of which more than half were completed. The book presents a selection of the most important buildings and projects.

Des maisons pas comme les autres
Depuis plus d’un demi-siècle, le vieillissement de notre société s’est tellement accentué qu’il est devenu une réelle préoccupation pour les collectivités publiques, en Suisse comme en Europe. Face à cette situation, l’effort prodigué dans ce domaine par les autorités vaudoises depuis plusieurs années est particulièrement probant : plus d’une dizaine de concours pour la création d’établissements médicosociaux (EMS) ont été lancés ces dernières années, correspondant à autant de constructions existantes ou en devenir. Ces mises en concurrence et les réalisations qui ont suivi représentent un matériel d’investigation extrêmement intéressant, permettant de mieux comprendre l’évolution des pratiques dans ce champ spécifique. Sur la base d’une approche historique, d’un classement des formes architecturales des projets de concours ainsi que d’un regard sur les récentes réalisations vaudoises d’EMS, cette publication, abondamment illustrée, rassemble les thématiques liées à ce programme et pose les jalons des préoccupations actuelles en la matière.
