OASE 89 - Images of the Mid-Size CityNAi Publishers 2013 ISBN 9789462080157 Acqn 21570Pb 17x24cm 128pp 64ills 21
OASE 89 is dedicated to the image of the mid-size city. Not just the way this is interpreted, but
also how it is produced by urban designers and architects. The urbanism discourse has longfocused on phenomena such as the generic city. OASE 89, on the other hand, also devotesattention to the typically European condition characterized by its vast number of small and mid-size cities. In contrast with the (Asian) generic city, typified by its massive scale and loss of(historical) identity and public domain, there is the European mid-size city: a city with historicaland geographical identity. This makes the model of this European generic city a resilient model,one with staying power in light of todays urban challenges.

Yasutaka Yoshimura - Behaviours And ProtocolsLixil 2012 ISBN 9784864800020 Acqn 22480
Pb 15x21cm 144pp 140ills 100col 28
According to Japanese architect Yasutaka Yoshimura, his body of work is iridescent, varying inboth scope and function. Here he aims to guide readers to view his works from a particular anglethrough texts that take a different approach than those he has published in the past. His positionat the confluence of architecture and society is one which he uses to make ripples in a quest tobe equally involved in both spheres, as well as to find common subtleties and structures amongthem. He therefore explores diverse topics, such as architecture and the creative commons,building Japanese houses overseas, container architecture and cities without infrastructure.

Habitat - Big Builds The Citynai010 publishers 2013 ISBN 9789462080553 Acqn 22486Pb 20x30cm 144pp 160ills 150col 31
The architects of the Rotterdam architecture practice biq stadsontwerp realize that the humanhabitat is no pristine idyll. Hans van der Heijden and Rick Wessels consider the habitat to be thearchitect's field of work and the gauge of the design. The design's effectiveness is the product oftraditions and societal conventions, of the dreams, desires, and fictions of its inhabitants, but alsoof the possibilities and limitations of the construction industry. biq stadsontwerp links architectonic
forms to the negotiations inherent in working in the modern city. 'Habitat' examines this realismthrough five of the practice's designs.

Its informal, vernacular, and palimpsestic architecturereflected in thestunning former Ministry of Highways erected in 1975reveals the uncanny anticipatory andprogressive potential of a place where the past is neither monumentalized nor destroyed, but built
upon. Taking the exhibition Frozen Moments: Architecture Speaks Back(2010) as its startingpoint, this guidebook maps the social, urban, and art discourses of the countrys post-Soviet
years as seen from its hilly capital of Tbilisi.The publication accompanies the exhibition of the Georgian Pavilion at the 55th International ArtExhibition la Biennale di Venezia titled Kamikaze Loggia, curated by Joanna Warsza.
