Ryuji Nakamura - Controlled And Uncontrolled Lines Lixil 2014 ISBN 9784864800068 Acqn 23548 Pb 15x21cm 158pp 200ills 150col 23.95 The sixteenth instalment of the Contemporary Architects Concept Series takes the delicately structured work of Japanese visual artist and architect Ryuji Nakamura as its theme. Nakamuras often room-filling installations are formed by regular patterns of lines that play with perceptions of scale, and are occasionally so thin as to almost disappear into the space around them. Filled with fascinating objects, structures and images, the book accompanies each project with short, contemplative texts by Nakamura that set forth an array of queries into the nature of structure, form, variation and spatiality. A captivating look at the complexity and depth of lines in architecture.

According to him, We have presented and advocated the use of this material in many lectures, conferences and seminars in France and around the world. As our presentations are frequently met with the same questions, we decided to record the lessons of our experience in order to provide answers regarding the process. Rather than compiling an exhaustive volume on the topic, he chose for a construction manual that presents basic techniques and guidelines for massive stone construction.

The architects aim not to create a better future, or comment on matters outside of architecture, but rather to make a useful contribution to the built environment. The selection of fourteen featured projects allows an in-depth look at the architectural perspectives that define them, while the inclusion of a complete list of works ensures nothing is omitted from this comprehensive portrait of the office and its practice.

The Architect Is Present Museo ICO 2014 ISBN 9788461682416 Acqn 23614 Pb 24x30cm 144pp 150col ills 24 The exhibition The Architect is Present shows the work of five influential international studios who have turned austerity into their ethic and aesthetic motto. With offices located in five continents, these young architects work in underprivileged contexts, proving that scarcity of means can stimulate technical inventiveness and community participation, and become the basis for a responsible architecture where the vocation of service does not exclude beauty and emotion. From Norway and Germany to Burkina Faso, and from Paraguay to Australia passing through India or Thailand, these studios have built housing, rural schools or social centers with an extraordinary economy of means, admirable adaptation to collective needs and exemplary material execution.

Peter Saenredam - In Den Bosch Lecturis 2013 ISBN 9789462260030 Acqn 23553 Pb 23x27cm 128pp 100ills 50col 26.50 In the last week of June 1632, Pieter Saenredam travelled from Haarlem to Den Bosch. That very month he had turned 35 years and already had a lengthy career as a draughtsman and painter behind him. Yet, as far as we know, it was the first time he left his residence for a substantial time to work elsewhere. Thus it must also have been an exciting journey, especially since he had only quite recently decided to fully specialize as an architectural painter. The drawing of local monuments indeed became his main occupation in Den Bosch.

Exposure - Digital Research In Landscape Architecture RMIT University Press 2012 ISBN 9781922129109 Acqn 23616 Pb 19x25cm 278pp 40ills 20col 35 Encompassed by this publication is a project to map, engage, reimagine and investigate design, research and practice in landscape architecture. Aside from seeking the relationship between academic and practical approaches, it asks whether the design process can also be research in producing work that is exemplary in dealing with the complexities of the discipline. Evident is the existence of tension between pragmatics, performance and social position in approaches to design in landscape architecture. Richly illustrated, the book includes contributions by 25 practitioners in the field, among them, Hajime Ishikawa, Julian Raxworthy, Eduardo Rico and Elizabeth Mossop.

Kerb 21 - Uncharted Territories RMIT University Press 2014 ISBN 9781922129222 Acqn 23600 Pb 21x30cm 124pp 80ills 50col 21.50 In this issue, practitioners of landscape architecture tread the line between creator and curator. It explores how the current global condition is influencing creators in the field, their methods, and the dynamic existent in the discipline between established and multidisciplinary practices. What are these modes of practice, to what are they responding, and how are they shifting todays practice? More importantly, how can design thinking such as this be applied to other domains? With a diverse selection of more than 25 international and local contributors, including Lateral Office, SOFTlab, Lucy McRae, Marina Abramovi, Daniel Bushaway, Futurefarmers and Estudi Mart Franch.
