At Work
"Clear geometric forms become sculptural buildings when given a thin skin of decorative patterns by Neutelings Riedijk Architects. Their buildings are icons whose facades give surprising views inwards. Inside, the space is captured as a formgiving element tantalizing the senses. this book takes the reader through the many layers in their work, past comptetition entries and from realized to unrealized projects."

I Swear I Use No Art at All
This book displays and dissects the career and design motives of graphic designer Joost Grootens. In a systematic fashion it charts the first 100 books designed by Grootens over the past ten years.

Architecture in the Age of Mediatizing Technologies
This book offers a novel perspective on contemporary architecture, exploring its position in mediatization, attained through technological apparatuses. It introduces the novel concepts of apparatus-centricity and mediatization of architecture, which have significant disciplinary and cultural ramifications. Highlighting key technological and theoretical developments, the book’s narrative traces the transformation of architecture from the modernist era to the present, digital age. En route, it reflects on how architecture becomes a crucial element of shifting dispositives through its confluence with technologies of aestheticization and virtualization, and by emblematizing ecological ideals. ...
A Critical History of Contemporary Architecture
1960, following as it did the last CIAM meeting, signalled a turning point for the Modern Movement. From then on, architecture was influenced by seminal texts by Aldo Rossi and Robert Venturi, and gave rise to the first revisionary movement following Modernism. Bringing together leading experts in the field, this book provides a comprehensive, critical overview of the developments in architecture from 1960 to 2010. It consists of two parts: the first section providing a presentation of major movements in architecture after 1960, and the second, a geographic survey that covers a wide range of territories around the world. This book not only reflects the different perspectives of its various authors, but also charts a middle course between the 'aesthetic' histories that examine architecture solely in terms of its formal aspects, and the more 'ideological' histories that subject it to a critique that often skirts the discussion of its formal aspects.
Elogio della teoria. Identità delle discipline del disegno e del rilievo
Il tema di questo XXXIV Convegno deiDocenti delle discipline della rappresentazione è tutto incentrato sul-le teorie dell’area della rappresentazione, con la speranza che in que-sto difficile momento di transizione dell’Università italiana e, di con-seguenza, della nostra Comunità scientifica, i lavori qui raccolti pos-sano contribuire a quel processo di identificazione delle nostre disci-pline e della nostra area culturale che si è auspicato in principio. [Riccardo Migliari] The theme of this XXXIV Conference of the teachers of the repre-sentation disciplines is all focused on the theories of the field of rep-resentation, with the hope that in this difficult transition phase of theItalian University and, consequently, of our scientific Community, theworks here collected may contribute toward the process of identifica-tion of our disciplines and of our Cultural area, that was auspicated atthe beginning.
