Walls that teach - On the architecture of Youth CentresJap Sam 2014 ISBN 9789490322427 Acqn 23344Pb 21x28cm 176pp ills 29.50
In this house the walls will teach declared the Soviet news agency Pravda at the inauguration ofthe Moscow Palace of Young Pioneers in 1962. This statement casually formulates a recurringmotif in the history of architecture for youth: the claim to educate through the built environment.Young people were considered ideal targets for this approach of social constructivism due to theirambivalent status as objects of social rights but not yet subjects of political rights. Theorganisation of youth centres around leisure time activities partially concealed their educationalgoals and consequently made them all the more pervasive. The pedagogical power of theirarchitecture is found not only in design but also in modes of using, appropriating and inhabitingthem.Containing 14 essays and 25 case studies, this book traces the manifestations of the idea ofpedagogical architecture of youth centres throughout the 20th century.Susanne Pietsch and Andreas Mueller (editors/introduction), Tom Avermaete, Marina van denBergen, Dolf Broekhuizen, Peter Blundell Jones, Matthias Donath, Jennifer Mack, Marco di Nallo,Susan Reid, Sue Robertson, Piet Vollaard.

Dutch Dikesnai010 publishers 2014 ISBN 9789462081512 Acqn 24015Hb 25x30cm 336pp col ills 52
The Netherlands has many thousands of dikes. Dikes are the pivotal elements in our landscape,and have great cultural-historical value. We live in dike houses on the Waalbandijk, cycle alongthe meandering Omringdijk in West Friesland, or visit the monument on the Afsluitdijk.
Nevertheless, quite a few of the dikes fail to meet current safety standards. In order to guaranteeour safety, knowledge about dikes is therefore necessary. It is time for an overview as well as alook towards the future, in a standard work: 'Dutch Dikes'.

In this book, the architecture critic and journalist Bernard Hulsman describes how Dutcharchitecture experienced an unprecedented boom in the past quarter century. Dutch architectssurprised the world with unconventional designs, such as the Kunsthal by Rem Koolhaas and the
spectacular Dutch pavilion by MVRDV at the World Exhibition in Hanover in 2000. Yet Hulsmanalso shows how postmodernism's breakthrough in the world's most architecturally modernarchitectural country occurred almost unnoticed.

New! A new face! A new style! Worldwide, there is talk of a cult of novelty. This is also true inarchitecture, where architects compete against each other in terms of innovation and originality.The Why Factory does things differently, and in 'Copy Paste', it explores the possibilities ofcopying in architecture. Isn't it a good idea to ask what someone adds to the existing repertoireand then to evaluate that? In science, it is common to define originality in that respect. This typeof attitude seems to be a taboo in architecture. So now the time has come to stop this obsessivepursuit of unique authorship.

Stephanie Kloss WeltausstellungSternberg Press 2014 ISBN 9783956791253 Acqn 24670Pb 17x24cm 152pp 103ills 74col 19.95
Contributions by Oliver Koerner von Gustorf, Sebastian Preuss, Antonia Blau, Matthias Harder,Thibaut de Ruyter, Joachim Blank.
This world fair begins with a pyramidnot in Egypt, but in Karlsruhe, Germany. Stephanie Klosssphotographs capture the mythos and utopianism of architecture in locations as diverse as Athens,Berlin, the United States, and Japan. Yet it is the commonality of modernist architectural formrather than the peculiarities of place, nation, or time that attracts her lens. In Weltausstellung ,visual anonymity is the main eventbut not the whole story.Embedded in Klosss photographs, as the absorbing essays in this catalogue reveal, are invisible
histories of human enterprise, idealism, and trauma. The Israeli desert belies the ruins, alandlocked vessel, as a symbolmoral and otherwiseof Sodom and Gomorrah; an idyllicCanary Island bears scant traces of Otto Muehls Actionist commune, or of his sexual crimesagainst children; an empty dining hall stands in place of forty kibbutzim in Israel, testament to aonce thriving political utopia; and the mute currents of the Mississippi Delta, first devastated byHurricane Katrina and then the BP oil spill, keep their silence to the deep waters. Klossscatalogue as journey speaks a collective photographic language that warns against the easeand perilof architectural and natural forgetfulness.

Cepezed Catalogue 4 The Work Of Cepezednai010 publishers 2014 ISBN 9789462081895 Acqn 24551Pb 21x30cm 296pp 250ills 200col 33.75
Cepezed enjoys a solid reputation for its human and use-oriented architecture with a rich spatial
experience. Appearance is both modest and striking; without emphatically demanding attention,the projects occupy their own space in a powerful and natural way. Internally they arecharacterized by a friendly atmosphere, flexibility and deference to the needs of the users.Cepezed focuses on the result just as much as the path leading there. Beside classics from theoeuvre, Catalogue 4 contains a broad selection of recent plans and realized projects. The bookpays special attention to a variety of redevelopment projects.
