A+t 43 - Workforce A Better Place To Work a+t Ediciones 2014 ISBN 9788461715190 Acqn 24378 Pb 24x32cm 160pp 167ills 75col 26.50 The contemporary workplace has derived from successive compression and decompression. First, there was the hierarchical Taylorist office. Then came the rational, well-lit and organised space with individual cubicles. A return to the open landscape office came later, with free layouts shrouded in vegetation the forerunner of the dematerialisation of the workplace. Today, we are in a far more fluid state that envisages the specialisation of space and brand expression: diversity and identity. The workplace should not only encompass tasks like individual and group work, but also those involving learning and socialising.

Architecture, Photography And The Contemporary Past Art And Theory Publishing 2014 ISBN 9789198157352 Acqn 24448 Pb 22x28cm 184pp 130ills 70col 22.50 As traces left behind by the last 200 years of profound historical change, architecture and photography contribute both to the contemporary skyline and to our image of the past. Their common history provides an indispensable background to discussions of what has been called the contemporary past modernity considered as an open problem rather than a closed historical period. In both cases, an irregular border can be traced between the discursive and its opposite, the material. The intersection offers an interesting confrontation between traditional academic historiography and the artistic application of historical perspectives, an exploration of the contemporary past.

Giancarlo Mazzanti - Architecture As Mechanism For Building Community Tu Delft 2014 ISBN 9789461863355 Acqn 24325 Pb 21x21cm 52pp 26col ills 15.75 Giancarlo Mazzanti was invited this year by the Wouter Mikmak Foundation to lecture in the Designers of the Future series because of the exceptionally engaged character of his architectural practice, wherein he demonstrates that it is also possible to situate social values at the core of architectural design. He aims to empower transformations and build community, focusing on adapting architecture to make it capable of changing behaviour. It is Mazzantis belief that architectures worth is based not only on itself but also on what it produces, on its capacity to perform rather than on its capacity to represent. Topical perspectives are illustrated with exemplary case studies.

Design and Politics #6 - Are We The World? Randstad Holland vs. Sao Paulo, Detroit, Istanbul NAi Publishers 2014 ISBN 9789064507878 Acqn 21541 Hb 17x24cm 264pp 220ills 100col 24.50 Part six of the series compares the Randstad region in the Netherlands with So Paulo, Istanbul and Detroit. It provides speculation on alternative visions for urban planning and idealistic architectural interventions for these cities. Are We the World? is not only a plea for a more central role for city planning, along with an active exchange of ideas, but also for new political involvement. This instalment questions whether Dutch ingenuity, pragmatism and process management qualities admired in the poly-centric Randstad are the ideals most applicable to the explosively expanding or shrinking cities of the 21st century. What does the Dutch model offer global cities, and what can it learn?

Alas Of The Functional City - CIAM 4 And Comparative Urban Analysis Thoth Uitgeverij 2014 ISBN 9789068686487 Acqn 24504 Hb 24x30cm 480pp 500ills 250col 89 The legendary fourth CIAM congress took place aboard a ship on the Mediterranean Sea in 1933. Led by Le Corbusier, Cornelis van Eesteren and Sigfried Giedion and themed the Functional City, the universal programmatic agenda it produced is considered to be a pinnacle of urbanism. Participants analysed 34 cities on the basis of maps specially produced for the congress, and the results were shown at an exhibition in Amsterdams Stedelijk Museum in 1935. Plans for a publication were interrupted by the war, and the material has until now remained unpublished. This systematic overview of the CIAM 4 city maps offers new perspectives at a crucial moment for urbanism today.

A+u 526 - Retreat. Primal Concept And Experimental Design a+u Publishing Co. Ltd. 2014 no ISBN Acqn 24273 Pb 22x30cm 136pp 150ills 100col 23.95 This edition focuses on those places where people tend to spend their free time, showcasing the primal concept of the retreat through experimental design. Locations of the 20 featured projects range from natural environments to dense urban situations. In these places of seclusion, functional necessity is generally of lesser priority than portraying the essential lifestyle that their users or residents desire when spending time away from their everyday lives. To match these requirements, architects are often encouraged to put their experimental concepts into practice. An essay by Juhani Pallasmaa precedes works by Cecilia Puga, Studio Mumbai, David Kohn, Casey Brown and more.

Behind The Lines - Tyin Tegnestue Toto 2014 ISBN 9784887063440 Acqn 24283 Pb 15x21cm 240pp 150ills 100col 24.50 What began as frustration with monotonous studies and a desire to find meaning ended up in a formative and eventful journey to the far corners of the world for Yashar Hanstad and Andreas Gjertsen. It began as a coincidental meeting at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, which after subsequent months of working together grew into a lasting professional bond. Aspirations towards social sustainability and pragmatic creativity are tantamount for the young architects, outlined here through diverse projects and personal reflections, from an orphanage and attempts at improving slums in Bangkok, to a Sumatran training centre and original projects in Norway.
