A truly unique perspective on their own work: Swiss-American 

architectural studio agps, with offices in Zurich and Los 

Angeles, has delved deep into their archive and woven a visual 

thread of some 160 illustrations that guides readers through this 

new book. Literally out of the box, from archival box and model 

crates, models, model photos, small hand-drawn studies, visualizations, 

but also photographs of realized buildings have reemerged, 

covering agps’ entire work of decades of practice. 

The images are organized according to 13 keywords: spatial 

configurations that characterize agps’ core design concepts and 

summarize central elements of their ideas. At the same time, 

they are terms that define the formal presence of their designs. 

The result is a multifaceted and inspiring insight into the work 

of an international firm that proves just how important spatial 

constellations are for the formulation of good architecture. Essays 

by Sabine von Fischer as well as by Marc Angélil and Cary 

Siress, along with an index of all featured buildings and projects, 

round off this unique volume.

On September 29 and 30, 1941, more than 33,000 Jewish men, 

women, and children were murdered in Babyn Yar, a ravine in 

Kiev. This event constituted the largest single massacre perpetrated 

by German troops against Jews during World War II. 

A history of the Jewish concept of space: 

- territorial: home, real as well as mythical 

- architectural: temple, synagogue, residence 

- psychological 

- theological: the space of Talmudic debate 

- intellectual 

- the space of the ghetto, displacement, 

the holocaust 

In commemoration, a synagogue designed in the shape of a 

book will be inaugurated on the same site in 2021. When opened, 

the book building’s inner space and its furnishings unfold. This 

impressive movable structure was designed by Manuel Herz, 

whose studio runs offices in Basel and Cologne. This book for 

the first time shows the Babyn Yar synagogue captured in photographs 

by celebrated architectural photographer Iwan Baan, 

as well as through plans and model photos. 

Yet the core part of the book tells the story of the Jewish people 

and of Judaism through the medium of space: the Jewish 

concept of space from biblical times to the present. Space as a 

leitmotif is understood in broad terms here: territorially, architecturally, 

psychologically, theologically, intellectually, as well as 

pertaining to the persecution of the Jewish people. Rather than 

in an abstract treatise, this story is told through 135 brief and 

engaging texts by Robert Jan van Pelt, a leading Holocaust researcher 

and professor of architecture. Each of these reflections 

is illustrated with drawings and watercolors by New York-based 

artist Mark Podwal, who is known for his illustration of Elie Wiesel’s 

works. 

Robert Jan van Pelt is renowned internationally 

for his research on the Holocaust and the architecture 

of Auschwitz-Birkenau in particular, 

as well as on the architecture of the Jewish 

diaspora. He is a professor of architecture at 

University of Waterloo, Canada, and the author 

of numerous books. 

Manuel Herz runs his own design and urban 

planning studio in Basel and Cologne and 

has gained renown for his design of the New 

Synagogue in Mainz. He teaches as an assistant 

professor at University of Basel and is the editor 

of the widely acclaimed book African Modernism 

(Park Books, 2014). 

Mark Podwal is a New York-based artist and the 

illustrator of many of Elie Wiesel’s books. He 

has also published several books of his own, 

and his work is represented in important public 

collections, such as New York’s Metropolitan 

Museum of Art.

Höweler + Yoon, founded in 2001 and based in Boston, gained 

early praise for ephemeral and interactive public projects and 

today is recognized for striking works that combine concep tual 

imagination and technological sophistication. The firm’s impressive 

body of work has expanded the scope of design beyond traditional 

disciplinary boundaries and has won them numerous 

national and international awards. Verify in Field is Höweler + 

Yoon’s second book. Its title derives from a notational convention 

on architectural drawings to indicate that the information is 

subject to unknown conditions in the field. The book highlights 

verification as an integral part of the design process and demonstrates 

it as a productive tool to test ideas and act on the world. 

For both disciplinary and contractual reasons, the instruments 

of design—drawings, models, and prototypes—operate on the 

world at a distance. Techniques of prototyping, measurement, 

feedback, negotiation, and intervention inform the diverse 

output of the studio. Verify in Field features recent designs by 

Höweler + Yoon, including such projects as the Memorial to Enslaved 

Laborers at the University of Virginia; a floating outdoor 

classroom in Philadelphia; the MIT Museum; and a pedestrian 

bridge in Shanghai’s Expo Park. The book also examines the 

discipline’s pressing questions, as they relate to verification, uncertainty, 

and agency, in a series of essays by Eric Höweler and 

J. Meejin Yoon on topics that include means and methods, the 

public realm, energy and environments, the construction detail, 

and social media. These themes are echoed in conversations 

with collaborators, historians, and theorists: Adam Greeneld, 

Nader Tehrani, Kate Orff, Daniel Barber, and Ana Miljacki.

Founded by Swiss settlers in 1845, New Glarus in Wisconsin 

evolved from being a dairy farming and cheese production village 

to a popular tourist destination. Following a grave economic 

downturn in the 1960s and 1970s, the community discovered 

embracing the image of its cultural heritage, particularly traditional 

architectural details, as a way of survival. Consequently, 

they began to change their commercial building façades to appear 

even more Swiss. Since 1999, the town has even regulated 

the production of new buildings via its building codes to preserve 

this particular aesthetic evoking the familiar traditional Swiss 

chalet style. 

Swissness Applied investigates the transformation of European 

immigrant towns in the United States, exemplified by New 

Glarus. It features the results of extensive fieldwork on buildings 

in the village as well as design projections based on the local 

building code and evaluates the outcomes through different representation 

techniques. Expert authors including Courntey Coffman, 

Kurt Forster, Whitney Moon, Philip Ursprung, and Jesús 

Vassallo contribute essays that pick up on aspects such as the 

role of cultural imagery and immigration history in architecture, 

and on Swissness as a cultural concept in particular. 

New Glarus, Wisconsin: a prime 

example of cultural heritage

When architects visit a building, and want to record or identify 

what they see, they take out a bundle of folded sheets in search 

of a blank piece of paper. These sheets may be ground plans, 

diagrams, sketches and ordnance maps. In one way or another, 

all are survey drawings, operating as both documentation and 

analysis, enabling an architect to examine certain conditions of 

the built environment, whether geometric, relational, material 

or technical. 

This book explores the history of the survey and its multiple 

forms in order to understand how the methods of recording 

what already exists can also be used to imagine what might be. 

Lavishly illustrated, with works from the collection of Drawing 

Matter and beyond, it addresses the multiple forms of the survey 

through focused studies – on John Soane (1753–1837), Charles 

Robert Cockerell (1788–1863), and Detmar Blow (1867–1939); 

French architects Louis-Hippolyte Lebas (1782–1867), Henri 

Labrouste (1801–1875), and Eugène Viollet-le-Duc (1814–1879); 

and Swiss-based Peter Märkli (born 1953) – and an extensive 

section of plates with commentaries by contemporary architects. 

In doing so, it maintains that while all surveys begin with 

the site, the outcomes are as idiosyncratic as their authors – and 

their methods have much to offer as tools in design practice. 

A lavishly illustrated history of the 

architectural survey drawing across 

for centuries 

The book is the first in the Architecture Iconographies series, 

published in collaboration with Drawing Matter, an organization 

based in Wincanton, Somerset, that explores the role of drawing 

in architectural thought and practice. They consider the image-making 

of architecture through its typologies and unique 

approaches to drawing. Exploring their resonance in the history 

of the profession, as well as their relationship to the architects 

themselves, the series aims to open up further possibilities for 

their use in both practice and teaching. 

Matthew Wells is a lecturer and postdoc 

researcher at ETH Zurich’s Institute for the 

History and Theory of Architecture. The focus of 

his research and writing is on representational 

techniques, environmental technologies, and 

professionalism in the built environment of the 

19th and 20th centuries.

However disparate the style or ethos, beneath architecture’s 

pluralism lies a number of categorical typologies. In Thinking 

Design, Austrian architect Andreas Lechner has condensed his 

profound typological understanding into a single book. 

Divided into three chapters—Tectonics, Type, and Topos—Lechner’s 

book reflects upon twelve fundamental typologies: theater, 

museum, library, state, office, recreation, religion, retail, factory, 

education, surveillance, and hospital. Encompassing a total of 

144 carefully selected examples of classic designs and buildings, 

ranging across an epic sweep from antiquity to the present, 

the book not only explains the fundamentals of collective architectural 

knowledge but traces the interconnected reiterations 

that lie at the heart of architecture’s transformative power. 

As such, Thinking Design outlines a new building theory rooted in 

the act of composition as an aesthetic determinant of architectural 

form. This emphasis on composition in the design process 

over the more commonplace aspects of function, purpose, or 

atmosphere makes it more than a mere planning manual. It reveals 

also the cultural dimension of architecture that gives it the 

ability to transcend not only use cycles but entire epochs. Each 

example is meticulously illustrated with a newly drawn elevation 

or axonometric projection, floor plan, and section, not only invigorating 

the underlying ideas but also making the book an ideal 

comparative compendium. 

A clearly distilled architectural atlas 

based on 144 major designs from 

ancient times to the twenty-first 

century, showcasing the cultural 

dimension of building

Brooklyn’s Gowanus Canal is a hidden landmark, a valuable but 

latent asset to the local and broader community. Formerly a 

wetland creek, it is now severely polluted and bordered by industrial 

buildings. Although it is surrounded by residential neighborhoods, 

there is hardly any public access to the water’s edge. 

The existing canal bulkhead and drainage is also a piece of hard 

engineered infrastructure that is seemingly easy to maintain but 

inadequate for managing extreme weather—when it fails the 

impacts are catastrophic. 

To facilitate greater access and ecological productivity of the 

Gowanus Canal, Brooklyn-based firm DLANDstudio has invented 

the Sponge Park. It is designed as a series of public urban 

waterfront spaces that slow, absorb, and filter dirty surface water 

runoff to clean contaminated canal water, reduce combined 

sewer overflow, and activate the canal edge. Revealing the form, 

distribution, and size of natural ecological patterns in relation 

to the shape and patterns of infrastructure, neighborhoods, and 

political jurisdictions is another key component of the design. 

This book introduces the award-winning Sponge Park in great 

detail with photos, illustrations, plans, and diagrams. It demonstrates 

the concept’s potential as a component also of a larger 

vision for a new paradigm of coastal urbanism, upland adaptation, 

and right of way design in the twenty-first century that 

anticipates more frequent extreme weather impacts and affects 

American policymaking. It is a must-read for design students, 

architects, and academics as well as for elected officials, policymakers, 

and community activists. 

Sponge Park: a visionary concept 

for resilient urban design in coastal 

areas that responds to new demands 

for public spaces as well as to increasingly 

extreme weather conditions 

Susannah C. Drake is an associate professor at 

University of Colorado Boulder’ s Department of 

Environmental Design and a founding principal 

of DLANDstudio Architecture + Landscape 

Architecture in Brooklyn. In 2020, her Gowanus 

Canal Sponge Park project won the inaugural 

Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian National Design 

Award for Climate Action.

The Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich has been researching 

the integration of robots into the architectural practice, 

both in design and the fabrication process, for some time. 

This book—created in collaboration with the chair of Christophe 

Girot, Gramazio Kohler Research, and Marco Hutter at ETH Zurich’s 

Robotic Systems Lab—is the first to investigate the use of 

robot-based construction equipment for large-scale soil grading 

in landscape architecture. As landscapes are continuously 

changing due to ever-changing environmental conditions, the 

application of autonomous systems that respond to the environment 

rather than perform predefined and static earthwork is of 

particular interest in this field. 

Robotic Landscapes sheds light on a series of groundbreaking 

experiments in an interdisciplinary collaboration of landscape 

design, environmental engineering, and robotics that aims to 

make landscape architecture sustainable and ecological in the 

long term. 

Dynamic robot-based planning 

and execution tools open up 

previously inconceivable design 

possibilities in the landscape 

architecture of the 21st century

Paris-based firm ChartierDalix, founded in 2008 by Frédéric 

Chartier and Pascale Dalix, can look back on a successful first 

twelve years of design practice. They have garnered attention at 

various international competitions and were awarded several 

prizes, such as the Europe 40 under 40 Award. In 2019, their first 

book ChartierDalix. Hosting Life explored their unique approach 

to link ecosystem and architecture and their research and practical 

implementation of this connection. 

In this new series of books, ChartierDalix now presents its entire 

body of work, beginning with the volume covering the years 

2016 to 2021. It showcases eleven designs they have realized in 

Paris and the surrounding area, all described in detail with texts, 

photographs and plans. The selection includes projects such as 

the transformation of the former Lourcine barracks into the new 

Université de Droit-Paris I, which was nominated for the Mies 

van der Rohe Award and honored with the Frame Award 2020, a 

number of office and commercial structures, the transformation 

of the Renault Design Center in Guyancourt, as well as several 

designs for private and social housing.

For several years, Farra Zoumboulakis & Associés Architectes 

Urbanistes of Lausanne, Switzerland, have deliberately based 

their work on three key French terms: milieu (environment), lien 

(connection) and lieu (location). Taking three signature designs 

as examples—an ensemble of five apartment buildings in Lausanne-Provence 

for environment, the Renens train station for 

connection, and an eco-neighborhood in Nyon for site—they now 

reflect on their work as architects and urban designers and situate 

it in a larger context. 

Architecture as an evocative interplay 

of different factors: three projects by 

the Swiss firm Farra Zoumboulakis & 

Associés Architectes Urbanistes 

For the first-ever book on their work, the architects have also 

invited experts from other fields such as philosophy, biology, or 

art, to address the concepts of milieu, lien and lieu from different 

perspectives than their own. In this way they create interconnections 

between different aspects of human activity, whose 

common point of reference is the architecture that houses them. 

Farra Zoumboulakis & Associés Architectes Urbanistes, who 

celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2020, have made a name for 

themselves with their innovative urban planning and architecture 

in francophone Switzerland, from major refurbishments to 

housing designs and public buildings.

Urban design today is facing a multitude of challenges. Using 

twelve key terms, this book connects these challenges to projects 

in this field. It introduces concepts. presents possible solutions, 

and describes implementation processes. A special focus 

is put on the interaction of the built environment with living systems—an 

approach that is slowly gaining acceptance within the 

urban design community and that is setting aside a primarily 

building-oriented practice in favor of an increased appreciation 

of public space. 

Basics of Urbanism defines and illustrates parameters with 

a clearly territorial approach to urban design. Space between 

buildings is treated as an essential structure for environmental 

and social change within small-scale neighborhoods and 

blocks, as well as at the level districts and even entire cities. This 

approach includes forward-thinking temporal aspects as well as 

the implementation of existing resources in the creation of new 

spatial qualities.

Sergison Bates architects, established in 1996 and today running 

offices in London, Zurich, and Brussels, have made a name for 

themselves with projects ranging from housing to care homes, 

from educational and cultural institutions to urban-scale regeneration 

designs. Since the outset, the partners have engaged 

with the debate within the professions and have curated a number 

of exhibitions about the themes they explore in their teaching 

and practice.

While most books on architecture focus on the architectural 

outcome itself, Architects on Dwelling takes a close look at how 

that outcome is created. To design any kind of dwelling, architects 

draw on both their reservoir of ideas as well as their own 

experiences as fellow inhabitants of such structures. This book 

explores how architects design the places we inhabit and how 

those places in turn inform the manner in which we live, in ways 

beyond lifestyle and personal taste. Through contributions by 

Stephen Hoey, Henry McKeown & Ian Alexander, James Mitchell, 

Stacey Philips, Christopher Platt, Adrian Stewart, and Miranda 

Webster—most of whom are Scotland-based practitioners as 

well as teachers in The Glasgow School of Art—it reveals the 

unique values and qualities that inform their design processes. 

In their essays, they focus mostly on one exemplary building, 

explaining how and why they design the way they do. Dick 

van Gameren, Simon Henley, and Graeme Hutton, distinguished 

experts and themselves architect-educators, place this work 

within an international context and provide insightful comment 

about what these design approaches inform us about contemporary 

design in Scotland. Complemented with a wide range of 

images, these essays both illuminate the architects’ motivations 

and inspirations and celebrate their featured works. 

The places we live in profoundly 

matter to our well-being: eight 

architects write about how this 

influences their design process 

for homes 

Taken as a whole, Architects on Dwelling reminds us how profoundly 

the place we live in matters to our well-being, and of the 

social responsibility architects have in creating the built environment 

in general and dwellings in particular. 

Christopher Platt is an architect and co-founder 

of Glasgow-based firm Studio KAP. He is also 

Chair of Architecture at the Mackintosh School 

of Architecture, Glasgow School of Art.

The biblical metaphor of a “Land of Milk and Honey” has denoted 

for millennia a prophecy and promise for plenitude. This 

book, published in conjunction with the Israeli Pavilion at the 

seventeenth International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice 

Biennale, examines the reciprocal relations between humans, 

animals, and the environment within the context of modern Palestine-Israel, 

and demonstrates how this promise has become 

an action-plan over the course of the twentieth century. 

Land. Milk. Honey. investigates how colonialism, urbanization, 

and mechanized agriculture radically reshaped the environment 

and altered human-animal relationships. It shows how the celebrated 

metamorphosis of the region into a prosperous agricultural 

landscape was entangled with irreparable damage to the 

environment, as well as the disruption of human communities. 

And it highlights the predicaments that both the environment 

and its inhabitants are facing. 

Turning a biblical promise into reality: 

the book accompanying the Israeli 

pavilion at the 2021 International 

Architecture Exhibition of the Venice 

Biennale 

The fundamental changes the region has undergone are portrayed 

through the stories of five local animals: cow, goat, honeybee, 

water buffalo, and bat. These case-studies and analysis 

construct a spatial history of a place in five acts: Mechanization, 

Territory, Cohabitation, Extinction, and the Post-Human. A rich 

collection of literary excerpts, historical documents, archival 

photos, as well as short original vignettes reveals the story of 

this remarkable transfiguration and redesign

Social housing has a long tradition in Europe. Since the early 

20th century, these often anonymously built and unappreciated 

structures have arisen all across the suburbs of Europe’s major 

cities. In the multidisciplinary and international research project 

Mapping Public Housing, the Center for Studies in Architecture 

and Urbanism at the University of Porto’s Faculty of Architecture 

has been tracing the architectural heritage of social housing. 

The findings demonstrate that, in many cases, vibrant neighborhoods 

and entire city districts have emerged from such social 

housing programs. 

This book takes a closer look at exemplary developments in 

Germany, Great Britain, Portugal, Switzerland, and Spain. The 

case studies cover a wide range of social and historical contexts, 

from the beginnings of social housing in Portugal sparked by 

German investment during World War I to the propaganda policies 

associated with subsidized housing for the working class in 

the 1940s, and to sustainable concepts and ideas for the future. 

Hidden in Plain Sight offers a wide-ranging panorama that recognizes 

the development of subsidized residential construction as 

a part of Europe's cultural history and traces the important role 

that state-funded housing has played in the emergence of the 

European welfare state.
