Miroslav Šik
Miroslav Sik coined the term Analogue Architecture in the late 1980s. It stands for an architectural approach that is oriented towards the existing environment, its atmosphere and the construction tradition in a subtly radical way. It has made Miroslav Sik an unmistakable protagonist in Switzerland and Europe in the last 20 years. He has pursued this dedicated, anti-modernist orientation both as a teacher at the ETH Zurich and in his architectural work, which shows clear continuity since 1988. This monograph compiles his existing buildings and works. Each project pursues his pugnacious architectural stance, which is anything but "modern" or modernist. Even in the simplest construction tasks, Miroslav Sik uncovers and makes tangible the work's intrinsic dignity and noble potential. Text in English and German. 81 colour illustrations
Analogous Old-New Architecture
The terms 'analogous architecture' and 'old-new architecture' are key aspects of the teaching of Miroslav Sik at the ETH Zurich. During his first period there (1983-1991), Sik worked as Senior Assistant at the Chair of Fabio Reinhart and was in effect the spokesman of an architectural movement that became renowned far beyond the borders of Switzerland and is still influential today. In 1986/1991, the compact movement presented itself to the public with a touring exhibition and an accompanying large-scale 'Swiss Box', including chalk perspective drawings of its projects. Miroslav Sik worked as a Full Professor at the ETH Zurich between 1999 and 2018 during his second period there. Since the 1...

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.

MIX
Il n’a jamais été autant question de diversité et, en corollaire, d’individualisme dans l’architecture du logement. Le culte du soi et l’affirmation de l’altérité sont des paramètres qui ont pris une grande ampleur dans ces dernières décennies et qui ont fortement contribué à l’évolution récente des modes de vie. Pour tenter de répondre aux nouvelles aspirations des habitants, les architectes explorent la mixité des types de logements au sein d’un même immeuble ou d’un ensemble restreint de bâtiments. Ce phénomène trouve un ancrage historique dans plusieurs projets corbuséens des années 1920 et 1930, peu publiés, qui détiennent déjà les prémices de procédés combinatoires visibles encore aujourd’hui. Ce Cahier de théorie s’attache aussi à analyser la production contemporaine, à travers une série non exhaustive d’exemples largement illustrés et répertoriés selon leurs différents modes opératoires : des procédés génériques aux réflexions théoriques et idéologiques qui légitiment des manières différentes d’envisager la mixité typologique.
Refurbishment Manual
Planning tasks involving existing structures are currently among the most common types of contract, and almost every structure makes different demands and raises individual problems. Reflecting this state of affairs, there are a dizzying number of publications on the market, most of which are quite specialized. The Refurbishment Manual cuts through this jungle of publications. It defines terms and concepts, combines the narrowly focused perspectives of the specialists, and offers concrete approaches to this wide-ranging topic. The Refurbishment Manual closes the gap between basic constructional literature and one-sided, highly specialized technical literature. It constitutes a practical plan...
