Arata Isozaki (1931–2022) undoubtedly ranks among Japan’s,<br />
and arguably the world’s, most distinguished architects. He ran<br />
his own firm in Tokyo from 1963 and realized buildings in many<br />
countries, as well as holding teaching appointments at Columbia,<br />
Harvard, and Yale universities. He has created a body of work<br />
that has constantly evolved and transformed over decades. His<br />
best-known designs include the Kitakyushu Municipal Museum<br />
of Art in Fukuoka, the Shenzhen Cultural Center Concert Hall,<br />
the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, the Palau Sant<br />
Jordi in Barcelona, the Berliner Volksbank office building on<br />
Berlin’s Potsdamer Platz, the Palasport Olimpico in Turin, and<br />
the Allianz Tower (Il Dritto) in Milan. Isozaki was awarded the<br />
RIBA Royal Gold Medal in 1986 and the Pritzker Prize in 2019.<br />
The first new monograph in 15 years on Arata<br />
Isozaki, one of Japan’s most distinguished<br />
architects and 2019 Pritzker Prize laureate<br />

The Barrack, 1572–1914 tells the little-known history of a building<br />
type that many people used to register as an alien interloper<br />
in conventionally built-up areas. The barrack is a mostly lightweight<br />
construction, a hybrid between shack, tent, and traditional<br />
building. It is a highly efficient structure that sometimes also<br />
proves to be extremely durable. Easy to erect and to take down,<br />
it is—since the introduction of railways and later motor vehicles<br />
in the late 19th and early 20th centuries—also easy to transplant<br />
from one location to another. Originating as a standardized accommodation<br />
in the late 16th century, the barrack became a<br />
mass-produced utility of military and civilian mobilization in the<br />
19th century, providing immediate shelter for soldiers as well<br />
as for displaced persons, disaster victims, or prisoners. The<br />
barrack has played a decisive role in shaping the political space<br />
of modernity.<br />
Tells the little-known history of the barrack<br />
from the late 16th century to 1914<br />
Demonstrates how warfare, medicine, and<br />
emergency aid intersect in the history of<br />
architecture<br />
Offers a reappraisal of the barrack’s significance<br />
today, when more people than ever are<br />
forced to live in temporary accommodation<br />
The barrack as a building type played a decisive<br />
role in shaping the political space of modernity<br />
The barrack as a building type played<br />
a decisive role in shaping the political<br />
space of modernity. This book traces<br />
its little-known history.<br />
Robert Jan van Pelt traces nearly 350 years of barrack history<br />
up to 1914. That year, with the outbreak of the Great War,<br />
proved to be a turning point in the perception of the barrack,<br />
away from pragmatic emergency shelter and towards a more<br />
sinister forced confinement. Richly illustrated with some 250<br />
images, van Pelt’s book records the traditions of barrack design<br />
and the technological inventiveness that went into it in the late<br />
19th century.<br />

The creation of park systems is a historically proven method for<br />
communities to stabilize and cultivate healthy ecological habitats<br />
in country dwellings as well as in dense urban areas. <strong>Park</strong><br />
systems ensure clean soil, water, and air for all. Moreover, they<br />
offer intergenerational and inclusive recreational opportunities<br />
along ecological corridors. Between 1900 and 1950, civic design—a<br />
practice in urban and landscape planning explicitly oriented<br />
towards the common good—experienced a heyday. <strong>Park</strong><br />
systems were successfully used as “green armatures," hosting<br />
public facilities such as playgrounds, schools, administrative<br />
buildings, hospitals, and gardens.<br />
Living Cities offers a chronological survey of civic design based<br />
on more than 30 park systems on five continents. The examples<br />
range from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s <strong>Park</strong> an der Ilm in<br />
Weimar (1778) and John Nash’s Regent Street in London (1806)<br />
to Chicago’s park system (1850), Albert Bodmer and Maurice<br />
Braillard’s plans for Geneva (1936), and Frank Lloyd Wright’s<br />
Taliesin Valley (1947), as well as to contemporary and future<br />
projects in Addis Ababa, Madrid, Medellín, <strong>New</strong> York, and Seoul.<br />
Matthew Skjonsberg’s book demonstrates the ecological and social<br />
impact of park systems and highlights the diverse challenges<br />
that communities face when implementing such projects. At<br />
the same time, it encourages a reevaluation of civic design as an<br />
intergenerational practice of urban design.<br />

Geneva- and Lisbon-based design firm BUREAU is directed by<br />
architects Daniel Zamarbide and Carine Pimenta, and visual artist,<br />
designer, and art educator Galliane Zamarbide. They operate<br />
at the intersection of architecture, scenography, design, landscape<br />
design, and education. Founded in 2012, the firm focuses<br />
on building new and converting existing structures, interior design<br />
and furniture, exhibition design, inhabitable sculptures, and<br />
temporary pavilions. Their buildings and interventions feature<br />
spatial experiments, unusual shapes and perspectives, and play<br />
with the concept of time as well. BUREAU thus transcends the<br />
traditional boundaries of architecture, design, visual art, architectural<br />
teaching, and cultural education.<br />
BUREAU—Short Stories is the first survey of the firm’s work to<br />
date. Brief texts—some narrative, some descriptive and categorizing—are<br />
contributed by architects and researchers Fabrizio<br />
Gallanti, Amir Halabi, André Tavares, Marina Otero Verzier, and<br />
Ava Violich-Kennedy; curators and critics Julia Albani and Tirdad<br />
Zolghadr; designer and curator Alexandra Midal; and by Daniel<br />
Zamarbide. Some 360 images, as well as concise information on<br />
the depicted buildings and projects by BUREAU, round off this<br />
beautiful book.<br />

of Steib Gmür Geschwentner Kyburz Partners, documenting as<br />
well 65 key buildings and projects from their portfolio. Volume 3<br />
features floor plans of a total of 168 furnished apartments with<br />
concise comments, interspersed with recipes for 12 spaghetti<br />
dishes. In a photo essay, volume 4 introduces the inhabitants of<br />
11 apartments from various realized buildings, who also speak<br />
about their homes in brief interviews. The dessert of this fivecourse<br />
menu is the concluding volume 5, featuring a conversation<br />
with the firm’s four partners—Jakob Steib, Patrick Gmür,<br />
Michael Geschwentner, and Matthias Kyburz—as they discuss<br />

The densification of our cities is an imperative that inevitably<br />
brings the topic of new high-rise buildings and the addition of<br />
stories to existing buildings to the foreground of the discourse.<br />
Architecture and urban design must increasingly address the<br />
issue of verticality at all stages of planning, design, and composition.<br />
Social and cultural aspects must be considered in this<br />
process as well.<br />
De la verticalité combines two elements: a case study on highrise<br />
buildings in Zurich and an explorative essay on the subject<br />
of verticality in philosophy, culture, and society. Together the<br />
threads form a dual commentary that highlights the challenges<br />
posed by the transformation of our cities. Illustrated with<br />
numerous spectacular montages and visualizations designed<br />
to broaden our current ideas on the topic, this volume, which<br />
comes from the laboratory of acclaimed Swiss architecture firm<br />
Made in, also offers concrete proposals aimed at architects and<br />
urban planners, politicians and flâneurs alike.<br />

negative light. Yet these conditions—which have long been a reality<br />
in many extreme climate conditions across the Global South<br />
and are increasingly becoming a global reality—often stimulate<br />
an abundance of innovation, inspiration, and ingenuity. Permanence<br />
has created a climate crisis, with spaces constructed with<br />
non-degradable materials, resource extraction without active<br />
replenishment, and buildings designed for a single-eternal use.<br />
Our present reality is marked by a global pandemic, violent conflicts,<br />
and the looming threat of climate change-induced environmental<br />
disasters. Yet there remains an optimism about the<br />
creative possibilities that arise within these constraints.<br />
Field Notes on Scarcity, published in conjunction with the 2023<br />
Sharjah Architecture Triennial, examines what scarcity truly<br />
looks like on the ground, and the challenges and opportunities it<br />
presents across architecture and design. 60 leading architects,<br />
artists, authors, curators, designers, photographers, researchers,<br />
and theoreticians from across the Global South—including<br />
Lesley Lokko, Yinka Shonibare, Formafantasma, Rahul Mehrotra,<br />
Olalekan Jeyifous, Abeer Seikaly, Ilze and Heinrich Wolff,<br />
Chitra Vishwanath, and Deema Assaf—contribute reflections,<br />
poems, visual essays, and dialogues exploring what scarcity<br />
represents, what it inspires, and what it reveals.<br />
Scarcity of resources is increasingly becoming<br />
a global reality<br />
This is the first book to address cultures of<br />
re-use, re-appropriation, innovation and<br />
collaboration in architecture and urban design<br />
that arise from conditions of scarcity<br />
60 leading architects, artists, authors,<br />
curators, designers, photographers, researchers,<br />
and theoreticians share their perspectives<br />
on how to build a sustainable future in our<br />
precarious present<br />
Highlights the lessons to be learned from<br />
practitioners and communities in the Global<br />
South, where long-standing traditions prioritize<br />
an understanding of impermanence and<br />
an inventive responsiveness to scarcity of<br />
resources<br />

In 2023, the new Maison de la Chine was opened as part of the<br />
Cité internationale universitaire de Paris (CIUP), the French capital’s<br />
famous campus of student residencies founded in 1925. Designed<br />
by Beijing-based Atelier Feichang Jianzhu (Atelier FCJZ)<br />
and realized in collaboration with the French architecture firm<br />
Coldefy, the building continues the tradition of national pavilions<br />
within the CIUP. The Maison de la Chine’s design bears the DNA<br />
of traditional Chinese architecture, yet Atelier FCJZ also clearly<br />
acknowledges its inspiration by Le Corbusier.<br />
This book documents the building and its design process in rich<br />
detail through sketches, drawings, plans, and photographs. Architectural<br />
historian and curator Martino Stierli places the Maison<br />
de la Chine in the context of the evolution of contemporary<br />
Chinese architecture. Yung Ho Chang and Yishi Cheng, respectively<br />
the founding partner of and project architect at Atelier<br />
FCJZ, discuss conceptual and technical aspects of the design.<br />
The volume is completed with an essay by American critic Ariel<br />
Genadt, who relates the building to the site’s extraordinary history<br />
and the culture within which it was created.<br />
The convergence of two cultures in<br />
form and concept: the new Maison de<br />

First book on the new Maison de la Chine,<br />

How do we experience our built and<br />
natural environments with our body?<br />
This book introduces new research<br />
based on performative bodywork<br />
and on-site artistic installations in<br />
urban space.<br />
Transversal Territory is a laboratory of urban, environmental,<br />
and artistic experimentation at the renowned Academy of Architecture<br />
in Mendrisio, Switzerland. It undertakes transdisciplinary<br />
and participatory research on the relationship between<br />
our consciousness, our bodies, and our built and natural environments.<br />
Its unique approach is to explore experiences of—and<br />
reflections on—urban space through performative bodywork<br />
and on-site artistic installations. This process aims at transcending<br />
the conventional paradigms of perception and the understanding<br />
of urban space, and at creating a new imagination<br />
of the latter—an augmented reality.<br />
Transversal Territory’s innovative research is conducted in annual<br />
workshops, in which students and local residents collaborate,<br />
and subsequent public presentations of the results. This volume<br />
features 20 performances and installations realized in 2022 in<br />
Mendrisio’s Rime-Brech neighborhood, a typical suburban area<br />
with a mix of industrial structures, social housing, shopping<br />
malls, fast-food outlets, parking lots, wastelands, and highways.<br />
It is conceived as a map of Mendrisio that spreads across the<br />
pages to recontextualize the genius loci in book format.<br />
Documents innovative architectural research<br />
at the Università della Svizzera italiana’s<br />
renowned Academy of Architecture in<br />
Mendrisio, Switzerland<br />
Introduces new transdisciplinary and participatory<br />
approaches in architectural and urban<br />
design education and research<br />
Demonstrates how performative bodywork<br />
and on-site artistic installations can transcend<br />
conventional paradigms of perception and<br />
understanding of urban space and create an<br />
augmented reality<br />
