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.

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of architecture in these two regions Features 27 built designs and projects through descriptive texts and previously unpublished images and plans Offers complementing essays on planning and designing and constructing in Europe and Asia Contrasting locations and conceptual cohesion in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.
