The e-book contains a series of interviews in video and podcast format alongside numerous illustrations that support articles, case studies, and essays. For in-depth readers, the pub...
Housing + Single-Family Housing
As cities evolve architects are constantly searching for appropriate architectonic solutions, and in this book the authors present a systematic examination of innovative single-family houses and residential buildings in the context of presentday cities. The latest developments are reviewed in essays and thematic chapters discuss such topics as lowenergy building, the use of prefabricated materials, or low-budget building. A range of international examples from architects such as Wiel Arets, Shigeru Ban, Ben van Berkel, Kees Christiaanse, Philippe Gazeau, Frank O. Gehry, Steven Holl, Hans Kollhoff, Morger & Degelo, MVRDV, Jean Nouvel, Kas Oosterhuis, illustrate the subjects discussed. "Housing" and "Single-Family Housing" were previously published separately, each proving hugely popular. Now both volumes have been incorporated into a single, lowpriced edition.
Single-family Housing
Single-Family Housing follows the highly successful publication Housing. This volume explores the concept of contemporary innovative housing with particular reference to single-family housing using numerous international examples. Having investigated the topic of single-family housing over many years, the editors of this volume now provide an in-depth survey of their findings. Numerous examples are used not only to illustrate the various projects but also to demonstrate new possibilities. The latest research is examined in a theoretical essay, followed by three chapters: "The House as a Box"; "The House as a Device"; "The House as a Landscape." These explore topics including abstract residential programmes, prefabrication, low-budget housing and low energy housing. Around 40 buildings, (mostly realised) from architects including MVRDV, K. Sejima, T. Ishida, B. van Berkel, F.O. Gehry and W. Burnette are documented in detail. The findings are complemented by quotations and comments by many famous architects such as Jos Bosman, Rem Koolhaas, Josep Llinas, Dietmar Steiner and Mark Wigley.

Tenth International Architecture Exhibition
"This two-volume catalogue of the 10th International Architecture Exhibition presents an anthology of ideas centered around this year's theme: the meta-city. The changes in the physical and social structure of today's city have resulted in a new kind of civilian agglomeration that extends beyond the traditional form, concept, and boundaries of the city, causing profound transformations in the composition of its population and working habits. The International Exhibition, curated by Richard Burdett, will focus on the transformations of cities around the world, featuring New York, London, Berlin, Moscow, Tokyo, Shanghai, Mumbai, Mexico City, São Paulo Beirut, Istanbul, Johannesburg, and Lagos. Additionally, the biennale will propound a manifesto for rational development of cities in the 21st century. This book will be the definitive catalogue of what is perhaps the most important architecture exhibition in the world."--Wrapper description.
Agenda
AGENDA occupies the territory between a monograph, diary, and a collection of essays, interviews, and conversations, produced by JDS Architects with a wide range of contributors and collaborators. Starting from the belief that an agenda is not simply an expression of individual intentions, but rather a vector for the production of new realities, AGENDA addresses the need for architecture to transform itself in an era of ecological and economic crisis. Change, the buzzword of the last U.S. presidential campaign, is indeed the order of the day, and AGENDA explores exactly what kind of change will be needed if architects are to assume a political and social agency in this new landscape. The book seeks to define not only the work of JDS Architects, but also the challenges and situations confronting young architectural practices emerging at a time of crisis. An ambitious attempt to describe the conditions within which architecture is produced today.

Aarhus Stadt des Lächelns
In der europäischen Kulturhauptstadt Aarhus liegt der Umbruch von der Industrie- zur Wissensgesellschaft radikal offen. Zunächst öffnet die Stadt den Fluss Aarhus Å. Seitdem pulsiert das Leben im altehrwürdigen Latinerviertel. Daraufhin gestaltet sie eine neue Flusspromenade. Links und rechts dieses Boulevards liegen Dom, Galerien, Butiken, gut erhaltene historische Häuser und Plätze zur Entspannung. Im Umkreis der Flussmündung, wo einst Wikinger die Stadt Aros gründeten, erheben sich jetzt Meisterwerke der besten dänischen Architekten. Dieses Neue verbindet sich dort mit Altem wie zum Beispiel mit liebevoll restaurierter Industrie-Archäologie. Dieses Buch bringt Touristen Aarhus über Reportagen näher. Sie können alle Touren selbst nacherleben. Denn nichts ist fiktiv. Adressen und Telefonnummern helfen Ihnen, Ihren Urlaub zu planen.
