9 X 9 - a Method of Design
"An ideal design is site-specific, which is the only way architecture can create or connect with a specific sense of identity. This requires addressing the structural and local circumstances. This method handbook offers a playful way in which to systematically ascertain a complex framework and use it for your own design. The '9 x 9 method' takes all relevant factors and their alternate interaction into consideration: location, structure, shell, program, and materiality, all which, in a matrix with various intersections, produce exactly 9 'fields of action' for the design. The individual 'fields' are not only illustrated visually with meaningful and eidetic pictures, but are also discussed in texts by leading specialists. For this book, the '9 x 9 method' was completely re-worked and redesigned. A seemingly light-hearted method handbook for ascertaining complex conditions for the design"--Publisher's website.
Baumschlager & Eberle : Buildings and Projects, Anglais
Der aktuelle Werkbericht aus dem erfolgreichen Vorarlberger Architekturbüro. Seit den Anfängen in den achtziger Jahren ist der Name B&E zum Markenzeichen für äußerst intelligente, ökonomische und ökologische Lösungen geworden, die immer auch durch ihre dauerhafte formale Qualität bestechen. Den Dimensionssprung von den ursprünglich kleinen Wohnbauten zu großen städtebaulichen Lösungen, Schulbauten, Verwaltungs- und Gewerbebauten und vielen Sonderaufgaben – etwa der Planung für den Wiener Flughafen und für ein Krankenhaus in Belgien – haben sie längst vollzogen. Und längst findet der Name B&E auch international nachhaltige Resonanz. B&E bauen in Belgien, Deutschland, Liechtenstein, der Schweiz und Österreich. Der Band schließt an die erste Werkmonografie (Springer-Verlag, 1996) an. Dabei wird sichtbar, wie sich mit der Internationalisierung des Büros auch der Aufgabenschwerpunkt vom Wohnbau Richtung öffentliche Aufgaben verschoben hat.
COLLECTIVE HOUSING: A MANUAL
Juan Herreros (Abalos & Herreros), Dietmar Eberle (Baumschlager & Eberle), Wiel Arets, Frits van Dongen (Architecten Cie), Felix Claus (Claus en Kaan), Jacob van Rijs (MVRDV), and Jose Morales were among ten tutors that taught a series of intensive housing workshops that included a group of 34 international architects and students during the Collective Housing Master Course of 2006. The book is divided according to professor and features professional work from the master architects, as well as dozens of student projects.
New Country House
Until recently, radical architecture has had no place in a rural context. But now people are beginning to buck this trend, taking powerful design statements into the countryside. This title uses 30 case studies to show how modern approaches are now being used to challenge the notion of the traditional 'country house'.
A History of Collective Living
The book tells the story of communal living from about 1850 until today. Three motives of sharing - the economic, political and social intention - divide the residential objects, which are investigated in a historical analysis and allocated to nine development phases. The author investigates and compares different forms of housing and the way they developed from their origins until today; she illustrates how everyday shared living and the degrees of privacy in housing are practiced in Europe. Owing to its comprehensive documentation, the analysis of typologies, layout plans, and user and expert interviews, the book can also be considered to be a lexicon or handbook on communal living. A detailed overview that is unique in this form.
Baumschlager Eberle 2007-2012. Stadt, Architektur, Zukunft - City, Architecture, Future
In the last five years, the architecture office of Baumschlager Eberle has continued to be successful on an international level. Between 2007 and 2012 over 30 building projects have been commissioned in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland. Among the most important projects are the hospital in Kortrijk, Belgium, the Quartier Connect in Zurich and the Nordwesthaus in Fussach, Austria. This publication documents trends in architecture in the last five years. With its entries on competitions, it points towards the future of architecture with a focus on the symbiotic relationship between technical and aesthetic sustainability. This special conception of Baumschlager Eberle won the Austrian State Award for Architecture by public ballot in 2010.
High-Density Housing
In view of the growing number of diverse life styles, the search for flexible, adaptable floor plans has become a fundamental issue in residential building. That the continued demand in urban centres can only be responsibly satisfied by high-density housing is undisputed. More than ever before, building high-density housing is a diverse and challenging task for planners and architects. This book presents international projects which document the complexity of the task, from the design of the floor plans, the development and use of resources, to the use of economically beneficial building systems. The high quality of the architecture and construction in such residential areas can be clearly seen in the uniform illustrations of the floor plans, and large-scale drawings of details. The introductory contributions discuss extensively the topic of floor plan design and development. This book is a comprehensive review of the current state of residential building, the perspectives and future developments.

Small Houses
Small houses are no longer synonymous with cheap houses and lack of privilege. Instead, they symbolize a range of culturally coded values: compactness, efficiency, discrimination, discreteness, minimalism. Opening with a detailed exploration of the social and historical background behind compact housing in the twentieth century, this book goes on to feature 37 illustrated case studies that represent some of the best examples of small houses built worldwide within the past decade. Plan areas range from 7 to 150 square metres (75 to 1615 square feet) and each project embodies a particular design approach towards compact accommodation. The case studies are organized into three chapters - Rural Retreats; Urban and Suburban Bases; and Small Clusters and Multiples - and include work by such architects as Toyo Ito, Lacaton & Vassal, LOT/EK and Kazuyo Sejima.
