Two Austrian-born designers have left their indelible mark on
California’s residential architecture of the 1930s to 1960s: Richard
Neutra (1892–1970) and Rudolph M. Schindler (1887–1953)
combined modern form and inventive construction with new
materials to create a truly modern vision of living that remains
inspirational to the present day.
This book features twenty famous and lesser known houses
from that period, designed by the two pioneers and other architects
that were influenced by Neutra’s and Schindler’s ideas. All
are marked by highly economical use and outstanding quality
of space, a minimalist aesthetic, and by their ideal adaption to
climatic conditions. They are monuments of a period as well as
timeless models for contemporary and future architecture.
The images show the buildings in their present state, highlighting
their nature as actively used living spaces where alterations
to original designs have been made rather than as preserved
monuments. The texts explore the relationship of the present inhabitants
to their homes and what they mean to them. Together,
the authors offer uniquely intimate insights into a sophisticated
way of life still too little known outside California.

Romeo and Julia, two residential high-rises in Stuttgart, built
1954–59 and designed by Hans Scharoun (1893–1972), constitute
the most original and far-reaching of the various attempts
to re-design the entire “process of living” undertaken by this extraordinary
protagonist of Germany’s modern architecture. Over
decades, Scharoun had woven an extensive network of research
and knowledge systems as a basis for his floor-plan designs.
His writings and lectures from between 1947 and 1958 reveal
the countless threads of research and discourse, which his work
in residential architecture referenced and absorbed. They highlight
the sometimes contradictory, yet constant renewal and
consolidation of his knowledge in the field of housing.
This book demonstrates how closely interlocked Romeo and Julia
are with their architect’s immense engagement with the topic
of housing. Based on extensive research and drawing on previously
unpublished archive material, it offers a unique insight into
Scharoun’s design process. Alongside reproductions of original
plans and drawings, it features excerpts from his unpublished
text fragments as well as newly commissioned photo essay that
highlights Romeo and Julia’s highly expressive appearance.

São Paulo is a prime example among megacities
in emerging countries for how to tackle
major social challenges they face
Presents São Paulo’s prudent and inclusive
policy in urban development and infrastructure

Infrastructures for residents:
São Paulo’s long-term
investment in communal
architecture, a prime example
for how to tackle major social
challenges in mega-cities
Like all mega-cities around the globe, São Paulo faces huge challenges. Yet despite
these manifold and daunting tasks, the Brazilian metropolis has since the 1960s
maintained a prudent policy of investing in communal infrastructure, thus providing
inclusive places and spaces for all of its 20m-population. While many cities aim for a
“Bilbao-effect” by funding iconic, tourist-orientated projects such as museums or theatres,
São Paulo persistently supports programs and usages that serve its permanent
residents.
This book features a selection of these buildings and projects from five decades. Ranging
from a simple canopy over a public park to vast multifunctional buildings, they provide
spaces for sports and culture, education, healthcare, or gastronomy. Rather than
merely serving a specific purpose, their key role is to be places for people spending
time together.

Valerio Olgiati and Markus
Breitschmid’s manifesto for
a new architecture in a world
free of ideologies and,
therefore, references
More than ever, architecture is in need of provocation, a new path beyond the traditional
notion that buildings must serve as vessels, or symbols of something outside
themselves.
Non-Referential Architecture is nothing less than a manifesto for a new architecture.
It brings together two leading thinkers, architect Valerio Olgiati and theorist Markus
Breitschmid, who have grappled with this problem since their first encounter in 2005.
In a world that itself increasingly rejects ideologies of any kind, Olgiati and Breitschmid
offer Non-Referential Architecture as a radical, new approach free from rigid ideologies.
Non-referential buildings, they argue, are entities that are themselves meaningful outside
a vocabulary of fixed symbols and images and their historical connotations.
For more than a decade, Olgiati and Breitschmid’s thinking has placed them at the
forefront of architectural theory. Indispensable for understanding what the future
might hold for architecture, Non-Referential Architecture has become a new classic.
Valerio Olgiati runs his studio in Flims, Switzerland,
working on projects for public and private
clients in various countries. He is also a professor
at Accademia di architettura, Università
della Svizzera italiana in Mendrisio.
Markus Breitschmid is professor of architecture

University.

Today one of Australia’s leading architects, Angelo Candalepas’s
career lifted off in 1994, when he gained wide recognition for his
winning submission to the international competition for housing
in Sydney’s Pyrmont neighborhood. Over the course of twentyfive
years, the buildings of Sidney-based firm Candalepas
Associates have won numerous awards and have been widely
published internationally in magazines and journals. They show
a development of architectural considerations drawing upon the
heritage of past masters such as Louis I. Kahn, Carlo Scarpa, or
Le Corbusier, and that of eminent Australian architects Glenn M.
Murcutt, Richard Johnson and Colin Madigan.
This first monograph features a selection of Candalepas’s key
designs through photographs, plans and elevations as well as his
hand-drawings and sketches. Built structures feature alongside
unrealized projects that mark milestones in the firm’s development,
while other not yet built ones offer an outlook towards its
future trajectory. Topical essays by Alberto Campo Baeza and
Laura Harding as well as an insightful text by the architect himself
round out this comprehensive, lavishly illustrated survey of
the achievements of Candalepas Associates to date.

Architecture and photography are both semi-autonomous disciplines, suspended between
fine arts and the utilitarian. Because of this condition, realism is considered a
given in both. Once a building is inhabited it becomes the backdrop for somebody’s
everyday drama—just like a photograph that is instantly understood as an automatic
record of whatever was in front of the camera.
Epics in the Everyday traces a series of collaborations between architects and photographers
since World War II. Consistently, the subject matter of these collaborations is
the anonymous built environment, which in different ways presents both architects and
artists with a mirror interrogating and challenging the idea of realism in their respective
disciplines. Beyond looking at important developments within the two disciplines,
the book chronicles an alternative history of modern architecture and documentary
photography, building a case for a specific type of realism found at their intersection.
Jesús Vassallo is a Spanish-born architect

First examination of Christopher Alexander’s
“systems generating systems” theory and its
application to a concrete building design
The Eishin Campus near Tokyo is Alexander’s
largest and most significant project based
on the Pattern Language he developed in the
1970s together with Sara Ishikawa and Murray
Silverstein
Christopher Alexander is among the most
highly renowned contemporary architectural
theorists
An intercultural und transdisciplinary
examination
of Christopher Alexander’s
methods for building and
urban design
Christopher Alexander, Vienna-born British-American architect and theorist, is revered
for his writings, such as A Pattern Language, published in 1977 together with Sara
Ishikawa and Murray Silverstein, or The Timeless Way of Building of 1979. Lesser known
but as essential to understanding Alexander’s work is his theory of “systems generating
systems,” which explains that “if we wish to make things which function as ‘wholes,’
we shall have to invent generating systems to create them.” (Christopher Alexander).
Taking the Eishin Campus outside Tokyo, built between 1982 and 1987, as its example,
Shifting Patterns is the first book to examine Alexander’s theory of “systems generating
systems” and its application to a building design. It brings together essays from
a transdisciplinary, international cast of experts to investigate the application of this
theory to a concrete building design. It also looks at the design-build-movement as
an antithesis to today’s standardized and commerce-driven architectural production.

The work and vision of Parc
architectes: designs and

Founded in 2009, Paris-based Parc architectes has risen to prominence, winning
awards and accolades in its native France and beyond. Just as important as its design
work is Parc Architectes’s research on contemporary architecture and urbanism, laid
out in the essay Le Parc Planetaire (The Planetary Park), published in the firm’s own
journal, PRAGMA, and on its blog, CRAPZINE.
This first book to focus on Parc architectes, Architecture as Environment features fifteen
foundational designs by the firm, chosen to reflect the firm’s credo that the environment
has to become a matter of architecture. At the interface of art and science, Parc
architectes’s designs are installations rather than mere structures, enabling adequate
responses to contextual and conceptual issues in the construction of contemporary
human environments. In addition to brief essays, the book also includes some 150 illustrations,
including many in full color.

First in-depth investigation of Allied forces’
policies in occupied Austria during the Cold War
and their impact on the country’s architecture
and building activity
Shows how British, American, French, and
Soviet cultural policies served as catalysts for
their respective ideological convictions
Lavishly illustrated with previously
unpublished images, documents and plans
from international archives
Architecture as part of a global
struggle of differing political
systems: with its transnational
perspective, this book changes
our view of architectural
history and postwar society
Following the liberation and subsequent occupation of Austria at the end of World War
II in spring 1945 by the victorious powers Britain, France, the United States, and the Soviet
Union, Vienna soon became a central stage for the quickly emerging Cold War. The
struggle of differing political systems was also carried out in the field of architecture.
Cold War and Architecture sheds new light on the building activity in postwar Austria and
its main protagonists. For the first time, this book explores the lines of architectural
debates of the time in the context of the global political and cultural conflict of East vs.
West. With its transnational perspective, it changes our view of architectural history
and postwar society.
During the ten-year occupation period, Austria experienced a transition from authoritarian
government to democratic consumer society. Each of the four Allied powers
established its own extensive cultural program. Architectural exhibitions became important
instruments of such educational schemes with the objective of a new social
order. British, American, French, and Soviet cultural policies thus served as catalysts
for ideological convictions.

Since the introduction of steel as a building material in the early twentieth century,
its superior performance has challenged conventional wisdom about construction,
enabling designs of surprising lightness and span. Steel offered the opportunity to
significantly expand buildings vertically and thus emerged as a symbol of the conflict
between technological progress and the architectural ideal. More recently, the use of
exposed steel elements in modern architecture ushered in a rediscovery of buildings’
metamorphoses.
The essays in At Home in Steel reflect on steel residential architecture from today’s perspective.
The book also features contemporary examples by Atelier Bow-Wow, Christian
Kerez, Lacaton and Vassal, and Made In, among others.
Building Additions in Steel looks at the largely ignored topic of steel additions in architecture
and engineering. It offers basic theoretical background as well as technical
information on a selection of outstanding steel additions alongside more than one hundred
illustrations, including plans and photographs.

First detailed documentation of Josef Frank’s
Villa Carlsten in Falsterbo, Sweden
Villa Carlsten is a key example of Frank’s
carefully conceived housing designs
A concise essay puts the house in context with
Frank’s other architectural work
Between 1924 and 1936, Austrian-born architect Josef Frank built five holiday homes
on the Falsterbo Peninsula in southern Sweden. They constitute a key part of Frank’s
architectural work and demonstrate concerns at the core of his housing designs. Villa
Carlsten, the smallest of the Falsterbo houses, underwent an extensive restoration in
2016–18.
This book documents the building in detail through a concise essay, placing it in context
with the other Falsterbo Villas and Frank’s broader work, and full-color photographs
that highlight the house’s qualities and relationship with its surroundings.

An unconventional building monograph
documenting reconstruction of a theater

With newly commissioned photographs by
French photographer Cyrille Weiner
In Cachan, a suburb south of Paris, Ateliers O-S Architectes was commissioned with
transforming a local theater building, built in the early 20th century, into a thriving
cultural center. The commission went well beyond merely rebuilding and modernizing
an existing structure. Rather, the firm was tasked with creating an entirely new neighborhood.
Lever de Rideau presents the creation of Cachan’s new Jacques Carat Theater. Designed
to mimic a theater program, the book brings together short essays and interviews,
portraits of key protagonists, a graphic short story, and ample illustrations
including photographs as well as plans and design sketches.

First monograph on the work of Swiss firm G8A
Architects in Europe and Southeast Asia
Highlights the differing preconditions and
scope for the creation of architecture in these
two regions
Features 27 built designs and projects through
descriptive texts and previously unpublished

Offers complementing essays on planning and

Contrasting locations and conceptual
cohesion in design: the work of G8A
Architects
Founded in 2007, Geneva-based G8A Architects gained rapid renown for its projects in
Switzerland. Drawn to new opportunities in Southeast Asia, the firm expanded operations
to include offices in Hanoi (2009), Singapore (2010), and Ho Chi Minh City (2014).
The first book to document G8A Architects’ achievements to date, Contrast and Cohesion
reflects the firm’s work in these starkly contrasting parts of the world. Featuring twenty-seven
of the firm’s projects through drawings, photographs, plans, and descriptive
texts, the book also brings together essays that expand on the different concerns and
challenges that accompany the creation of architecture in Central Europe and Southeast
Asia. Climatically, culturally, and economically, the rapidly growing cities of Southeast
Asia are a world away, but G8A Architectes pursue a strategy of cohesion, which
seeks to resolve the contrasts between East and West with resulting benefits for both.

Public space and constantly growing traffic in
urban areas and resulting conflicting uses and
trade-offs are highly topical in contemporary
urban design discourse
Offers creative strategies for the resolution
of such conflicts and for the transformation of
traffic space into truly public space
Combines research findings and theory with
concise advice based on case studies
Public space is an essence of urban life, of a city’s living quality. Transforming space
occupied by the increasingly dense traffic in urban areas is the most effective way to increase
the quantity and quality into truly public space in cities and larger metropolitan
areas. Any such increase must start with ensuring a balance between the various uses
of space: more room for pause and the slow traffic of pedestrians and cyclists, less for
handling of goods and the faster, passive mobility by car.
This book introduces new approaches and instruments to improve actual designs as
well as the planning process, outlining creative strategies rather than a rigid set of
rules.

Explores the impact of cultural clashes caused
by European colonization on the city of Fez’s
urban fabric and social structure
Features informative graphics, maps,
photographs and proposals for architectural
interventions
The partition and colonization of Africa by European powers between 1881 and 1914
disrupted the continent with enduring repercussions. Morocco—located at a crossroads
between Sub-Saharan Africa, the Arab-Muslim Maghreb, and Mediterranean
Europe—has struggled to withstand the resulting cultural and sociopolitical clashes
ever since.
This book looks at Morocco’s second-largest city, investigating how these clashes have
marked Fez’s socioeconomic structure and urban fabric, and whether or not it offers
alternative and relevant means of human association and community. It also explores
questions about identity, authenticity, tradition, the globalization of culture, and the use
of local resources.

architecture
Since founding their Paris-based firm in 2008, architects Frédéric Chartier und Pascale
Dalix have realized some fifteen buildings in France, ranging from multi-unit housing
or schools to a logistics hub, office and retail spaces. To ChartierDalix, research is as
important as design work, they constantly aim to bring architecture and ecosystems to
harmonious concurrence.
This first monograph explores ChartierDalix’s visionary research and the designs derived
from it. Their intense investigation of architecture and nature and the interplay
between the two is highly topical and the book a rich inspirational source for anyone

Featuring five realized designs that are

approach
With newly commissioned photo essays by

Schnepp Renou
French architect Stéphane Fernandez creates a “silent architecture” that invests the
landscape as much as it takes shape. He is a minimalist in expression and maximalist
in attention to detail. He models rough, thick and fragile monoliths by digging, by
movement of bodies and the generation of tensions between masses.
This first monograph features five of Fernandez’s realized designs that are emblematic
for his approach. Essays and a conversation with Stéphane Fernandez by architectural
historian Éléonore Marantz complement plans of the buildings and photo essays by
Berlin-based photographers Schnepp Renou.

Giorgio

Additional site plans, floor plans, and sections

Quirino De Giorgio (1907–1997) is among the few Italian architects whose careers represent
the entirety of the twentieth century: from futurism through fascism to the experimentations
linked to the invention of reinforced concrete. Too often remembered
exclusively for his early futurist and fascist works, De Giorgio is an architect whose
production continued, until his last years, to develop in the experimental and dynamic
way which had characterized its beginnings.
This first-ever English-language monograph on De Giorgio offers a survey of his sixty
surviving buildings through the eyes of photographer Enrico Rizzato. An essay explores
the architect’s still little-known method and life.

First-ever monograph on Carlo Mollino as
an architect
Demonstrates Mollino’s prowess in architectural
design
Based on extensive new research and drawing
on rich archival material
Lavishly illustrated with previously unpublished
images, plans, drawings, and documents
Today, Italian architect and designer Carlo Mollino (1905–73) is known chiefly for his
furniture designs and his erotic Polaroid photography of the 1960s. Much less attention
has so far been given to his architecture. Albeit relatively small, his built work constitutes
a seminal contribution to modernism, uniquely marked by a strong relationship
with Surrealism.
This new book is the long overdue tribute to this extraordinary exponent of 20th-century
architecture. It features a selection of his key designs, both built and unrealized
through images and reproductions of previously unpublished plans, drawings, and
documents alongside scholarly essays.

A groundbreaking new study on the
Vkhutemas and their pioneering curriculum
Highlights the Vkhutemas’s advanced explorative
pedagogic approach and demonstrates
the lasting significance of the Vkhutemas
legacy
Based on research in previously inaccessible
archives and featuring previously unpublished
images and documents
Throughout the 1920s, the Higher Art and Technical Studios in Moscow, known as
Vkhutemas, translated avant-garde experiments in art, architecture, and design into
a systematized pedagogy. The Vkhutemas’ educational program initiated a new type
of pedagogy, taking an explorative approach and drawing its strength from continuous
feedback and exchange between students and educators, including luminaries such as
Nikolai Ladovsky, Alexander Rodchenko, and El Lissitzky.
This book explores the nature of the Vkhutemas’ curriculum to demonstrate how
this challenged established academic tradition by replacing it with open-ended inquiry
and how this became articulated within a system of design exercises and advanced
pro jects.

Irénée Scalbert.

Iñaki Ábalos’s highly acclaimed book on seven iconic 20th-century
houses—some of them actually built, others merely imagined
or realized as film sets—takes readers through the key
philosophical precepts that likely guided the creation of these
homes, making insightful points about the relationship between
ideas about a particular modern way of living and approaches to
architecture and design.
Baku, Azerbaijan’s capital and formerly part of the Russian Empire
and Soviet Union, is a city built on and with oil. This new
book investigates how oil stimulated Baku’s urban development
and explores in detail the more complex and important question
of how the disparate spatial logics, knowledge bases, and practices
of oil production and urban production intersected, impacted
and transformed one another.
