Universitt MIS'Ricorde Freiburg
Die Universität Miséricorde (Bauzeit 1937– 1941) ist ein eigensinniges Gebäude, das in seiner ambivalenten Erscheinung zwischen Tradition und Moderne gleichermassen fasziniert und irritiert. Der junge Architekt Denis Honegger (1907–1981), der für den Entwurf verantwortlich zeichnete und sich mit Leidenschaft bis in die kleinsten Details um die Ausführung kümmerte, war sich dieser Ambivalenz durchaus bewusst. Er liess die architektonischen Grundsätze seiner beiden Lehrmeister, des Klassizisten Auguste Perret und des modernen Avantgardisten Le Corbusier, einfliessen und wagte damit einen schwierigen Spagat. Seine herausragende Leistung ist es, ihre beiden entschieden konträren Konzepte in eine originale Synthese zu giessen.

Suburban Discipline
Historically, suburbia has been defined in relation to the city. Today, however, the city is no longer the undisputed arbiter for civilization; suburbia has infiltrated urban culture worldwide, shaping both its aspirations and its fears. Beneath an advertised serenity, poetry and violence, romance and pornography, organic gardens and toxic wastes are all nestled into the naturalistic settings of the suburb. What are the rituals and customs of the contemporary suburb? Is it possible to describe suburban culture without relying on typical urban comparisons? How is suburban culture changing as a result of being plugged into a global market of expanding proportions? Suburban Discipline, the second book (after "Mortal City") in our series from StoreFront for Art and Architecture, answers these questions through a series of critical essays. Keller Easterling, a professor of architecture at Columbia University and co-author of "Seaside", contributes an essay on the Appalachian Trail. Hannia Gmez, architecture critic for El Nacional in Caracas, provides a study on the Hanging Suburbs of Caracas. Also included is a photo-essay on Rem Koolhaas's Lille project.

Architecture Competitions and the Production of Culture, Quality and Knowledge
[Winner of the 2016 Bronze medal in Architecture, Independent Publisher Book Awards] This book comprises a series of 22 case studies by renowned experts and new scholars in the field of architecture competition research. In 2015, it constitutes the most comprehensive survey of the dynamics behind the definition, organization, judging, archiving and publishing of architectural, landscape and urban design competitions in the world. These richly documented contributions revolve around a few questions that can be summarized in a two-fold critical interrogation: How can design competitions - these historical democratic devices, both praised and dreaded by designers - be considered laboratories for the production of environmental design quality, and, ultimately, for the renewing of culture and knowledge? Includes 340 illustrations, bibliographical references and index of over 200 cited competitions. Keywords: Architecture / International competitions / Architectural judgment / Design thinking / Digital archiving (databases) / Architectural publications / Architectural experimentation / Landscape architecture / Urban studies
Franz Füeg
Wer kennt nicht die Piuskirche in Meggen mit ihrer unerreichten transluzenten Marmorhülle? Ihr Architekt, Franz Füeg, hat während mehr als 50 Jahren entworfen, gebaut, geschrieben und gelehrt. Nur wenige Architekten seiner Generation vertraten ein so vielfältiges und umfassendes Verständnis des Berufs. In diesem Buch dokumentiert der 1921 in Solothurn geborene Vertreter der Schweizer Nachkriegsmoderne nicht nur seine wichtigsten Bauten, sondern meldet sich auch persönlich zu Wort. Er wirft grundsätzliche Fragen zu den Bedingungen des Bauens und der Verantwortung des Architekten für seine Umwelt auf und liefert Erklärungen zum Verständnis heutiger Kriterien in der Architektur und im Städtebau.
space.time.narrative
Making exhibitions is a collaborative art, producing is a multi-layered unity of ideas and objects, of invention and manifestation, of content and form. However, there is an antagonistic dimension to it, because content and form are traditionally represented by the entirely different realms of curator and designer. Future successful developments in exhibition-making are dependent on whether this gap of antagonism can be bridged. space.time.narrative calls for a paradigmatic shift of focus. It puts forward a unique approach, breaking down traditional barriers and offering a wide-ranging theoretical context, redefining and expanding the parameters and the dynamics of the exhibition-format in t...
