Atelier Bow-wow And Didier Fiuza Faustino - La Maison Magique

Les Presses Du Reel 2016 ISBN 9782840668947 Acqn 26769
Pb 19x26cm 56pp 12ills 6col 11.25
This volume delves into the collaborative project conceived for the Japanese Culture House of
Paris by two practices based respectively in Tokyo and Paris. Developed as a site-specific
habitat, its prefabricated and easily assembled structures open new possibilities for adaptation.
The project explores the deconstruction of boundaries between home and social spaces, and
how these concepts are in flux today. Both offices engage with the idea that architecture is a
social, cultural, and experimental activity that explores the conditions of our lives in a changing
world. A key aspect is the possibility of reviving the forest industry in Japan and Europe as a
sustainable resource.

Maurice Nio - Suprasensitivity In Architecture

Duizend & Een 2016 ISBN 9789071346453 Acqn 26848
Pb 16x24cm 256pp 225ills 150col 41.50
Beyond the vagaries of taste and subjectivity, the pure and primary awareness of the space itself,
lies the notion of the supra-sensitive. This is the realm where designers must strike a chord by
evoking a chain reaction of animated materials. Becoming conscious of the supra-sensitive world
is one thing; being willing to work with and influence it is another. Rotterdam-based architect
Maurice Nio explores supra-sensitivity in architecture in this book, describing how animating
matter means manipulating its frequency a vibration that triggers another vibration. The result is
an experience that will inevitably evoke an emotional response in any who are subjected to it.

Groundscapes - Other Topographies. Dominique Perrault

HYX 2016 ISBN 9782910385989 Acqn 26876
Pb 16x24cm 208pp 200ills 120col 31.50
In this richly illustrated book, French architect Dominique Perrault offers his thoughts on the
architecture of the Groundscape, a subterranean form of architecture. Although the concept
does not entail actually living underground, it does suggest an approach to revealing and marking
places for the activities of daily life in the earth itself. Based on exchanges and interviews
between Perrault and Frdric Migayrou, the publication offers an engaging overview of the
architects aesthetic vision, its acknowledgement of (and place within) this threshold between
earth and sky, and his most emblematic buildings, including Bibliothque Nationale de France
and Ewha Womans University.

Yona Friedman - Drawings And Models 1945-2015

Power Station Of Art 2016 ISBN 9787553503738 Acqn 26550
Hb 19x20cm 1056pp 1000ills 500col 56
This bilingual volume is a revised version of Friedman's 'Drawings & Models 1945-2010', a
monumental publication which offers a complete overview of the work of one of the greatest
artists-architects and urbanist theoreticians today, in its many dimensions (urban, economic,
ecological, cultural, social and political). Yona Friedman (born 1923 in Budapest, lives and works
in Paris) has since the middle of the 20th century been developing the concept of mobile
architecture according to which housing and town planning should be conceived by their users
and should integrate the unpredictability of future behaviour of the user.

Daniel Libeskind - Sonnets In Babylon (Biennale Di Venezia)

Quodlibet 2016 ISBN 9788874628230 Acqn 26549
Hb 16x23cm 160pp col ills 78.95
Daniel Libeskind's 'Sonnets in Babylon' is a visionary work. It depicts an imaginary Babylon in
over 100 poetic drawings that have been screen-printed on backlit glass panels. According to the
principle of 'ut pictura poesis', drawing is the equivalent of poetic verse: it pushes the boundaries
of the graphic so as to inspire, tell a story, to convey the experience of images. Libeskind's work
for the Venice Pavilion is "a meditation on the origins and destiny of form in architecture", as
Libeskind wrote himself.
