Spaces of Intensity
The focus of the Hungarian architecture practice, 3h architects, which was founded in 1994 by Katalin Csillag and Zsolt Gunther, is on the sensitive transformation of urban spaces and historic buildings. They set spaces with great intensity and complexity against a world that seems incomprehensible, often linking them with interrupted strands of history and creating unmistakable space effects using daylight and artificial lighting. Their work covers offices, housing and educational buildings, as well as castles and churches, and has already attracted a number of awards. The monograph documents nine completed and five not-yet-completed buildings. The essays by various authors focus on the practice’s key interests in the context of Hungary’s architectural culture: space and light, typology, context, and ornament
Hansen + Petersen, Systeme
Die Architektur der Dortmunder Architekten Hansen + Petersen verweigert sich stilistischen Zuordnungen. Programmatisch begann ihre Arbeit in den Randzonen der Stddte, den sonst oft gemiedenen Gewerbegebieten. Dabei verfolgen Hansen + Petersen eine Richtung, die sich radikal auf den funktionalen Kern einer Bauaufgabe zur]ckbesinnt, um ]ber Minimierung und Optimierung von Konstruktion und Raumprogramm zu sinnfdlligen, zeitgemd_en Gebduden zu gelangen. Jenseits romantisierender Vkoarchitekturen oder kostenintensiven High-Tech-Stylings zeigen ihre Gebdude f]r avancierte Dienstleister ein klares Bekenntnis zu industrieller Fertigung und Montage, zu einer technisch-konstruktiven Dsthetik.Zu ihren ausgef]hrten Bauten gehvren Unternehmenssitze der High-Tech-Medizin, der gldserne Infopavillon der Emscher-Genossenschaft im Rahmen der IBA Emscher Park, vkologisch wie konstruktiv herausfordernde Supermdrkt sowie solare Wohnhduser u. a. m.
Jeunes Architectes Français
In recent years a remarkable generation of young architects has developed in France, whose work is often characterized by a fearless use of material--often steel and concrete--or by the play of transparency and the dissolving of materiality. Projects such as Nasrine Seraji's American Center in Paris, the Academy of Fine Arts in Limoges by LabFac or the Cemetary in Roquebrune by Marc Barani have all attracted international acclaim. This book presents 14 of the most interesting offices from all regions of France and attempts to provide an overall view of this phenomenon. Amongst the offices documented are: Avant Travaux, Laurent + Emanuelle Beaudoin, Besset + Lyon, Frederic Borel, Brochet, Lajus Pueyo, Manuelle Gautrand, Herault-Arnod, Lipsky + Rollet, Francois Roche, Tectoniques and Tetrarc.

The Re-Use of Urban Ruins
How do urban ruins provoke their cultural revaluation? This book offers a unique sociological analysis about the social agencies of material culture and atmospheric knowledge of buildings in the making. It draws on ethnographic research in Berlin along the former Palace of the Republic, the E-Werk and the Café Moskau in order to make visible an interdisciplinary regime of design experts who have developed a professional sensorium turning the built memory of the city into an object of aesthetic inquiry.
The Drama of Space
The experience of architectural spaces is formed by the way they are staged. The Drama of Space examines the composition and articulation of architectural spaces in terms of spatial dramaturgy, as a repertoire of means and strategies for shaping spatial experience. This fundamental approach to architectural design is presented in four parts: Archetypal principles of spatial composition are traced from the study of three assembly buildings of the early modern period in Venice. Theatre, film, music, and theory provide background knowledge on dramaturgy. Detailed analyses of 18 international case studies offer new perspectives on contemporary architecture. The book ends with a systematic presentation of the dramaturgy of space, its parameters and tools, in architectural design.
Hansen & Petersen

Sitte, Hegemann and the Metropolis
These essays, from leading names in the field, weave together the parallels and differences between the past and present of civic art. Offering prospects for the first decades of the twenty-first century, the authors open up a broad international dialogue on civic art, which relates historical practice to the contemporary meaning of civic art and its application to community building within today’s multi-cultural modern cities. The volume brings together the rich perspectives on the thought, practice and influence of leading figures from the great era of civic art that began in the nineteenth century and blossomed in the early twentieth century as documented in the works of Werner Hegemann and his contemporaries and considered fundamental to contemporary practice.
