How do our cities evolve, what forces drive their evolution, and
how exactly do they change as a result? Zurich-based architecture
firm EM2N has been working on urban transformation processes
ever since its establishment in 1997. Initially, the firm’s
main focus was on the greater Zurich area, yet in recent years
they have also developed and realized projects in Berlin, Brussels,
and Hamburg. Over time, a diverse body of work has grown,
more than half of which consists of conversions of existing buildings,
resulting in numerous successes and a few failures, small
structures and large-scale complexes, quick decisions and slow
processes. What unites the designs, projects, and texts featured
in this first monograph on EM2N is a profound interest in the
concept of the city as an exciting, contradictory, and above all
productive space of human life that the founding partners Mathias
Müller and Daniel Niggli have maintained throughout their
twenty-five years of collaboration.
Zurich-based architects EM2N
have been actively contributing
to Zurich’s urban transformation
for twenty-five years—this
is their first major monograph
In EM2N—City Factory they offer a self-critical review of their
achievements and also speak about learning processes, personal
interests, and conceptual approaches to future tasks in
ever-changing cities. This is supplemented with contributions
from fellow architects and friends as well as with a wealth of
photographs, plans, drawings, and other illustrations.
Medine Altiok is an architect who runs her own
practice with offices in Zurich and Aachen. She
is a lecturer at various universities and schools,
such as ETH Zurich, BILGI University Istanbul,
and the AA School of Architecture in London.
Mathias Müller and Daniel Niggli established
their firm EM2N in Zurich in 1997, which nowadays
also includes offices in Berlin and Brussels.
They have taught as visiting professors at
EPFL in Lausanne and ETH Zurich.
Caspar Schärer is a Zurich-based architect,
publicist, and architecture critic.

It may sound banal, yet it is a fundamental truth of architectural
design: all ideas are based on previous ideas, on their imitation,
inversion, rejection, or adaptation; or on their reinterpretation or
ignoration. The same applies to our visual perception and how it
influences our thinking and world of ideas. It is actually true for
any kind of creation and design.
Made In, one of Switzerland’s most
exciting architectural firms, presents
the quintessence of their thinking:
an original and thought-provoking
challenge to ideas about art,
perception, and architectural design.
Portraits: Architectural Parables traces these questions through
a wealth of images from art history and everyday culture, as
well as through analytical and classifying texts. With this book,
François Charbonnet and Patrick Heiz, the founding partners
of the highly acclaimed Swiss design firm Made In, reveal the
approaches they take in their design methodology as well as in
their teaching at ETH Zurich’s Department of Architecture and
Accademia di architettura in Mendrisio. The distinctive feature
lies in the linking and collaging of mutually illuminating, yet
apparently antagonistic, programs. Made In’s method does not
claim historical accuracy, as sources and facts are intentionally
collaged to serve a reductive purpose. The focus is on the potential
they see in the cross-fertilization of different images and
ideas rather than on a single, all-embracing model of thought.
François Charbonnet and Patrick Heiz are the
founding partners of Geneva- and Zurich-based
design firm Made In. They have gained wide
recognition for a range of private commissions
and submissions to public competitions. They
jointly teach as full Professors of Architecture
and Design at ETH Zurich’s Department of Architecture
and also lecture at various international
universities and institutions.

Marking Park Books’ 10th anniversary:
a new edition of this unique and widely
acclaimed survey of Africa’s modernist
architecture
“You really have to get Mr. Herz’s book
African Modernism, a 640-page doorstop
published when this show first
appeared in Germany, to appreciate
the breadth of modern African architecture,
as well as its political significance
and contemporary afterlives.”
Jason Farago, The New York Times
When African Modernism was first published in 2015, it was
showered with international praise and has been sought after
ever since it went out of print in 2018. Marking Park Books’ 10th
anniversary, this landmark book will now be available again.
Over the course of the 1950s and 1960s, most African countries
gained independence from their respective colonial powers.
Architecture became one of the principal means by which the
newly formed states expressed their national identity. African
Modernism investigates the close relationship between architecture
and nation-building in Ghana, Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya,
and Zambia. It features 100 buildings with brief descriptive texts,
images, site plans, selected floor plans and sections. The vast
majority of images were taken by Iwan Baan and Alexia Webster
especially for the book’s first edition, documenting the buildings
in their present state. Each country is portrayed through
an introductory text and a timeline of historic events. Additional
essays on specific aspects and topics of postcolonial Africa, likewise
richly illustrated with images and documents, round out
this outstanding volume.
“The care that Herz and his fellow editors,
Ingrid Schröder, Hans Focketyn,
and Julia Jamrozi, have taken to
provide a balanced and comprehensive
discussion of the origins of modernism
in Africa will make this a seminal work
in the discourse of African architecture.
No book collection on African architecture
would be complete without it.”
Sir David Adjaye RA, Architectural
Record

Dick van Gameren, a partner with the renowned Dutch architecture
firm Mecanoo, has engaged in housing design for the past
twenty-five years through his work as an architect as well as in
his research and teaching at TU Delft’s Global Housing Study
Center. In this book, he presents around forty of his own projects
in this field, through concise texts and photographs with explanatory
captions as well as plans and drawings. The projects are
grouped to illustrate seven specific aspects of housing design:
Streets and Squares, Courtyards and Patios, Gardens, Halls, the
Fireplace, Walls, and Roofs. Together, they constitute a multifaceted
catalog of housing typologies.
In four supplementary essays, van Gameren explores evolutions
in residential architecture in the Netherlands. He positions his
own concepts in the context of these developments and expands
on what he considers the key factors of good housing design. He
places particular focus on affordable housing, a pressing issue
in so many countries and metropolitan areas around the world.
Dutch Dwellings is an inspiring read for anyone involved in housing
design today.
History and present of pioneering
housing design in the Netherlands

Institutions such as the state, church, army, judiciary, bank, university—or
even marriage—organize our social relations. As
inherently social structures, they regulate societies according
to various practices, rites, and rules of conduct, and guide our
actions by delimiting what is possible and thinkable. An institution’s
individual scope depends on society’s understanding of it.
They are in perpetual mutation and thus form complex entities.
Architecture plays an essential role in the establishment, identification,
and perpetuation of this social structure as it formalizes
value systems in space and represents ideologies in permanent
physical structures.
Institutions & the City investigates how architecture establishes
and reveals the way an institution functions through different
strategies, taking the Tracé Royal (the royal route) in Brussels
as an example of an urban figure. This succession of emblematic
streets, extending from the Palace of Justice in the heart
of the city to the Church of Our Lady and the Royal Domain in
Laeken, is home to several of Belgium’s national political, legal,
religious, financial, and cultural institutions. The book explores
the strategies applied over time by the various institutions to
leave a lasting inscription on the country’s social order, revealing
similar spatial responses and surprisingly prevalent mutation
processes. And it highlights the importance of architecture in
inventing new relationships with institutional spaces in order to
improve the way we live together in a time when social, political,
and cultural reference points are being blurred.
What role does architecture play in
establishing and maintaining public
institutions that shape both society
as a whole and our individual lives?

Re-using entire parts and components of existing buildings in
the construction of new structures has become highly topical in
European architecture discourse. Re-using elements that could
last for decades longer, rather than destroying them, offers huge
potential in saving increasingly scarce resources. Moreover, it
makes construction more climate-friendly through deep cuts
in energy consumption and the emission of greenhouse gases.
For millennia, disused buildings have been cannibalized for the
construction of new ones. Yet, in today’s world, what is known as
circular architecture raises a multitude of questions and challenges
with regard to technology, safety, energy, and associated
legal aspects.
This book is a unique compendium of circular architecture. Richly
illustrated, it explores comprehensively through essays and
illuminating conversations between experts all the questions
and challenges that architects and engineers face with circular
architecture designs. It is based on the case study of the K.118
project in Winterthur, Switzerland’s largest building to date that
consists mainly of re-used parts. Since its outset in 2018, the
K.118 project has been evaluated within the framework of an
interdisciplinary research with regard to aspects of design and
engineering, energy, economy, processes, and legal issues. This
volume presents the results in striking visuals and concise texts.
Circular architecture offers huge
potential in saving increasingly
scarce resources and avoiding
harmful greenhouse gas emissions,

energy-saving construction process

This new book by Labics, one of Italy’s leading architectural
firms, is devoted to the country’s architecture of public space.
Squares, galleries, loggias, porticoes, and courtyards, are the
elements that characterize Italy’s historic towns and cities—and
that make these places so endlessly attractive to visitors. Yet
the volume does not feature new designs by Labics themselves:
rather, Maria Claudia Clemente, Francesco Isidori, and their collaborators
set out to explore these enchanting spaces, to analyze
their history and typologies, and to document and describe them
through newly taken as well as historic photographs, plans, and
diagrams.
The Architecture of Public Space forms a captivating collection
of visually explained characteristics of these core elements of
Italian cities. It highlights the architectural solutions from the
thirteenth to the twentieth centuries behind the particular spatial
quality of these urban structures, and sets out how they are
being established for and used by the people.
A captivating visual description of
the famous public spaces that make
Italy’s historic towns and cities so

Germany is currently experiencing an intense debate about the
reconstruction of synagogues that were destroyed under Nazi
rule in the 1930s, and the related search for an appropriate architectural
expression of Jewish life and culture in the country’s
major cities today. This book, which results from a collaboration
between the Technical Universities of Darmstadt and Dresden,
Hamburg’s HafenCity University, and the Bauhaus-Universität
Weimar, vividly contributes to this discussion.
A significant contribution to the
debate on the reconstruction of
German synagogues destroyed under
Nazi rule in the 1930s
The Synagogue Project features designs for new synagogues
replacing the lost buildings on Berlin’s Fraenkelufer and on
Joseph-Carlebach-Platz and Poolstrasse in Hamburg by students
at the participating universities. They illustrate the search
for a structural expression that can provide space for Jewish life
and worship in the future. In conversation, members of Jewish
communities and Franz-Josef Höing, representing the City of
Hamburg’s department of urban development and housing, explain
their views on the past and future of synagogues in Hamburg
and Berlin. Mirjam Wenzel, director of the Jewish Museum
in Frankfurt, Salomon Korn, former vice-president of Germany’s
Central Council of Jews, Rabbi Edward van Voolen, and Swiss
architect Roger Diener also contribute to the discussion on the
history and significance of spaces for Jewish life, culture, and
religion in German cities.

On the occasion of their thirtieth anniversary, Vienna-based
Pichler & Traupmann Architekten review their body of work to
date. This lavishly illustrated monograph documents in great
detail their most important designs, built and unrealized, arranged
by topic. Internationally renowned architectural publicists
and scientists contribute essays that explore the firm’s
vision and approach. A complete index of their 250 or so projects
and studies rounds out the book.
At the core of Pichler & Traupmann Architekten’s ambitious
design philosophy is the potential of a given site in the field
of tension between polarities. The focus of their work is on
commercial, residential, and educational structure. Their key
designs include the headquarters of the Austrian motorists’ association
ÖAMTC in Vienna (2013–16), the extension of the Kulturzentrum
Eisenstadt (2009–12), the Future Art Lab of Vienna’s
University of Music and Performing Arts (2014–20), the RAIQA
(Raiffeisen-Quartier) in Innsbruck (ongoing since 2019), and the
Pinkafeld Campus of Burgenland University of Applied Sciences
(ongoing since 2019).
A multifaceted review of Vienna-based
Pichler & Traupmann Architekten’s
achievements of three decades
Pichler & Traupmann Architekten was founded in
1992 by Christoph Pichler and Johann Traupmann
and has since completed a wide range of
commissions of various typologies, for which
the Vienna-based firm has been awarded numerous
prizes. Christoph Pichler also lectures
at the Technical Universities in Vienna and Graz,
Johann Traupmann teaches as an assistant professor
at Vienna’s University of Applied Arts.

In a complex transformation, the Basel-based architecture firm
Focketyn del Rio Studio has converted the main building of the
city’s former military barracks into a vibrant cultural and creative
hub. Situated on the embankment of the Rhine, already a
hotspot of Basel’s almost Mediterranean-style nightlife, it offers
some 32,000 square feet of work and project spaces, a spacious
plaza, a theater hall, as well as a bar and restaurant.
The historic main building of the
former military barracks in Basel
has been turned into a new public,
creative space on the city’s river
front: Focketyn del Rio Studio on the
collaborative process of a remarkable
transformation
This book documents the building’s new architecture in detail
and tells the story of Focketyn del Rio Studio, which won the
competition for rebuilding the Kaserne Basel in 2013 only six
months after it was established. Interviews, concise texts, photographs,
as well as plans and drawings, provide insight into the
evolution of the project, the history of the old barracks, and the
complex process of their transformation. It also features the
perspectives of the various participants and stakeholders in the
undertaking. All Under One Roof also takes the example of what
has been inaugurated as kHaus in the spring of 2022 to discuss
key questions of the design and use of urban public spaces, topics
of great importance for urbanists, architects, and public decision-makers
far beyond Basel.
Basel-based Focketyn del Rio Studio, established
in 2013 by Miquel del Rio and Hans Focketyn,
has gained wide recognition for the reconstruction
of Basel’s former military barracks and
other urban design proposals and concepts of
interim use of existing structures. In 2014, the
firm won the Foundation Award for Young Swiss
Architects.

In the period following World War II, eminent Mexican architects
such as Juan O’Gorman and Luis Barragán were pioneers in
adapting a European-American narrative in housing design to
their own cultural environment. Seven decades on, Mexico’s architects
are more than ready to export their own knowledge and
matured idiosyncrasies and to contribute to a global discourse
that is aware of local cultural, environmental, and economic
concerns. In recent years, Mexican architecture, and in particular
housing design, has experienced a renaissance and gained
unparalleled international attention, owing to the ideas and ambitions
of a new generation of architects.
Nueva Vivienda features twenty-two outstanding housing projects
in Mexico from the last ten years through images, floor plans,
sections, and views, with scholarly essays providing the corresponding
historical and theoretical background. Complemented
with three conversations among architects, developers, and researchers,
the book sheds light on the particular local context of
these projects, highlighting their designers’ new ideas and how
they contribute to rethinking housing typologies in Mexico today.
Moreover, it also investigates how these concepts have already
made their way to Europe, the United States, and beyond.

architects working in Mexico and their

Despite its consistent presence in architectural practice
throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, collage has
never been considered a standard form of architectural representation
like drafting, model making, or sketching. The work
of Marshall Brown, an architect and artist, demonstrates the
power of collage as an architectural medium. In Brown’s view,
collage changes the terms of architectural authorship and challenges
outdated definitions of originality.
Published in conjunction with the exhibition The Architecture of
Collage: Marshall Brown at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art,
the beautifully designed book features some forty collages by
Marshall Brown. These works come from four of his collage
series, including Chimera, Je est un autre, as well as the previously
unpublished Prisons of Invention and Piranesian Maps of
Berlin. Additionally, there are photographs of Ziggurat, an outdoor
sculpture with a design based on a collage from Chimera.
The full-color plates are supplemented with essays by critic
and curator Aaron Betsky, scholar of art history and archaeology
Anna Arabindan-Kesson, Santa Barbara Museum of Art’s
curator James Glisson, and Marshall Brown that outline the
conceptual foundations of Brown’s intriguing exploration of an
intersection of architecture and art.

In Looking for the Voids, Hong Kong-based Swiss architect Géraldine
Borio presents findings from fifteen years of experimental
urban research in Asia, proposing new ways to interpret and design
urban space. Borio’s focus is on the interstitial spaces of
the built environment, the back and in-between alleys and the
sidewalks that are in constant flux and move between the poles
of inside–outside, public–private, or legal–illegal.
What can urban interstitial spaces in
major cities in Asia teach us for the
expansion of architectural practice?
This lavishly and attractively designed book offers a survey of
the lessons Borio has learned from analyzing urban typologies
in Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Seoul, and from engaging with
residents and their informal appropriation of such semi-private
urban spaces. The concrete design principles that Borio has derived
from her fieldwork offer assistance to researchers and urban
designers in their own investigations and in translating their
findings into new projects for the further development of urban
and metropolitan spaces.
Géraldine Borio is founder of the Hong Kongbased
research and design firm Borio Lab
and an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of
Architecture, University of Hong Kong. Her work
has been featured in exhibitions at renowned
venues such as the Vitra Design Museum in
Weil am Rhein (near Basel), the Rotterdam Architecture
Biennale, and the ICI Curatorial Hub
in New York. Together with Caroline Wüthrich,
she published the previous book Hong Kong
In-Between (Park Books and MCCM Creations,

In their new book, the international CARTHA network engages
with the question of forming identity in society and the role that
architecture plays in this process. Inspired by Jacques Lacan’s
approach from psychoanalysis, CARTHA’s members break down
the identity-formation process into four sub-steps, which they
explore in interviews: Maarten Delbeke, professor of history and
theory of architecture at ETH Zurich, talks about Assimilation;
Frederike Lausch, researcher at TU Darmstadt’s Department
of Architecture, about Appropriation; Rob Krier, Berlin and Liguria-based
architect and sculptor, about Denial, and Jonathan
Sergison, London-based architect, about Reconciliation. These
conversations make up the cornerstones for a new, experimental
design methodology, which has been tested in practice
by architecture firms Bruther (Bordeaux), Bureau Spectacular
(Los Angeles), Conen Sigl (Zurich), Made In (Geneva / Zurich),
Monadnock (Rotterdam), Studio Muoto (Paris), and Sam Jacob
Studio (London). CARTHA—Building Identities features a variety
of buildings—houses, cottages, apartments—designed in the
context of these insights.
A handbook on fundamental issues of
architectural design today, compiled
by the international CARTHA network
The book offers a didactic manual for contemporary architectural
design. The concept of identity that CARTHA proposes invites
readers to adopt a critical attitude towards any found environment.
The objective is a deeper understanding of how architects
actually create identity through their designs.

Towards Territorial Transition presents new spatial strategies,
concepts, and approaches for shaping large-scale and transnational
developments in architecture and urban design towards
decarbonization and ecological transition. The contributions
investigate interactions between ecological and resource-related
systems and landscapes. They explore potential solutions
to address and deal with the dramatic threats posed by climate
change, and with the social crisis that may emerge from them.
The book introduces six basic terms of territorial transition—
Territory, Scale, Transition, Resource, Platform, and Uncertainty—and
visualizes them with spatial strategies elaborated at
the École nationale supérieure d’architecture Versailles and at
Graz University of Technology. Moreover, it presents a selection
of transnational projects of territorial transition, such as Luxembourg
in Transition (Luxembourg / France), Grand Genève (Switzerland
/ France) and Top Noordrand (Belgium / Netherlands).
Coping with climate change and its
sweeping effects requires large-scale
decarbonization and poses major
challenges for urban and infra -
structure design
