Heritage as an Asset for Inner City Development nai010 publishers 2014 ISBN 9789462081161 Acqm 23352 Pb 20x25cm 190pp 140ills 100col 31 Heritage is playing an increasingly empathic role in the development of the contemporary city. It is an important location-determining factor for a new generation of city dwellers, newly developing companies in the service sector and creative industries and also for recreation and tourism. At the same time, unrestrained urban growth is putting historic inner cities under increasingly greater pressure. Accordingly, it is time for a new orientation toward the historic city.

Lebbeus Woods, Architect The Drawing Center 2014 ISBN 9780942324846 Acqn 23373 Pb 15x23cm 136pp 140ills 120col 17.50 Lebbeus Woods, Architect brings together drawings from the past 40 years by one of the most influential designers working in architecture. Beyond architects, Woods (19402012) has been hailed by designers, filmmakers, writers and artists as a significant voice in recent history; his works resonate across many disciplines for their conceptual depth, imaginative breadth and ethical potency. Woods worked cyclically, returning often to themes of architectures ability to transform, resist and free the collective and the individual. As an architect whose work lies almost solely in the realm of the proposed and the unbuilt, his contributions to the field opened up new avenues for exploring and inscribing space. The publication centres on transformation as a recurring theme. The organization of the images of works is thematic rather than chronological.

Collecting Architecture Territories GSAPP Books 2013 ISBN 9781883584788 Acqn 22106 Pb 20x18cm 292pp 200ills 150col 13.95 Collecting Architecture Territories presents a research exhibition developed by Columbias Graduate School of Architecture, (GSAPP) in collaboration with the Deste Foundation. The exhibition examined the relationship between architecture and collection, considering architecture both as an agent that organizes, supports and informs various contemporary collecting practices, and as an object of collection in its own right. One of the most significant developments reshaping the domain of art and architectural practice over the last three decades is the explosion of institutions and foundations that have emerged out of private collections. Collecting Architecture Territories proposes that the historical institution of the museum no longer suffices to describe the territory in which the practices of artists, collectors, curators and architects now operate.

L'Architecture Sauvage - Asger Jorn's Critique And Concept Of Architecture nai010 publishers 2014 ISBN 9789462080003 Acqn 23718 Hb 21x28cm 280pp 250ills 100col 41.95 The Danish artist Asger Jorn (1914-1973) is internationally reknown for his activities within the CoBrA and the International Situationist groups. Quite apart from his paintings, prints, ceramics and sculptures, Jorn produced a remarkable amount of theoretical work. His ideas are still extremely relevant to contemporary discourse. However, in contrast to his artistic oeuvre, Jorns theoretical arguments have received much less attention from scholars of architecture, art history, or philosophy. This book for the first time reveals this largely ignored aspect of Jorns work.

a+t 42 - Reclaim Domestic Actions 2 a+t Ediciones 2014 ISBN 24x32cm 152pp 175ills 100col 26.50 Rounding off the Reclaim series, which arose from an environmental sense of reclaiming land, objects, infrastructures and materials, this issue focuses on the refurbishment of dwellings, analysing actions carried out on both private residences and collective housing. Through works by Lacaton & Vassal, for instance, the collective housing passed down from the last century is reconsidered, demonstrating that selective redemption of architectural heritage is becoming an increasingly viable option for todays cities.

Patrick Berger - Animal? Les Presses Du Reel 2014 ISBN 9782840666981 Acqn 23980 Pb 17x23cm 156pp col ills 33.75 A manifesto for an organic architecture that provides a new reading of Parisian architect Patrick Bergers proposal for the Canopy of Les Halles in Paris, this publication also delves into the main research and experiments he has undertaken. By comparing architectural and biological structures in an examination of early human constructions with those found in nature, and by placing them on the same level, Berger suggests that the notion of economy is key to manifestations of organic life. The optimisation of materials, productive energy and environmental advantages or constraints together yield a singular geometry for each species and situation or urban context.
