Herman Hertzberger - Architecture And Structuralismnai010 publishers 2015 ISBN 9789462081536 Acqn 24017

Pb 17x24cm 232pp 200ills 10col £26.50

"This book is an attempt to formulate what structuralism means in architecture, and why thatmatters. There are many misunderstandings about the concept of structuralism in general, andespecially where architecture is concerned. There is also a renewed interest in structuralism.What I see as the real structuralism in architecture is a way of thinking that has far-reachingopportunities for the reuse of buildings, which can give a new impulse to the discussion aboutsustainability. In addition, the possibility of users having a greater influence has revealed theblueprint for a more democratic architecture." - Herman Hertzberger

Seeing Architecture - Design Contribution To Knowledge BuildingEditions B42 2015 ISBN 9782917855546 Acqn 24832

Pb 13x21cm 264pp col ills £17.50

Today, our daily life depends as much on the architecture of digital data as on that of the builtenvironment. Despite our different uses of these constructions, they pose the same questions ofstructure, organisation, access, pathways, visibility, protection and identity. Going beyond aconsideration of their irreducible material individuality, these essays seek to examine theprocesses that come into play at the moment of conception in the past and the present – of someof the critical moments in the perception of these architectures.

Architects Hirokazu Suemitsu and Yoko Suemitsu (SUEP.) established their practice in 2004.Like Toyo Ito, for whom Hirokazu previously worked, the husband and wife team believe in acertain generative order in nature, and attempt to discover its logic and transform this into designelements. Their observation of the physical traits of natural things and energy flows has led totheir use of natural energies and materials, and they seek to engender a coexistence and mutualrespect between architecture and nature. Through more than 30 diverse works, both realised andconceptual, this volume explores the Suemitsu’s ideology and its manifestation in their projects.

Volume 44 - On DisplayVolume 2015 ISBN 9789077966440 Acqn 25413Pb 20x27cm 144pp 90ills 15col £17.50

One of architecture’s histories is that of the art of display: architecture displaying power, politicalambition, economic success, social agendas, or less mundane notions like dreams, convictionsand belief. These days architecture has also become subjected to display:the display of architecture – in museums and collections, and in auctions for example. That adds

but also distracts meaning; not every aspect of architecture can be displayed as easy. And whatdoes a culture of display (be seen or perish) add to this condition? Thinking of the valueof architecture beyond purely financial terms, ‘display’ is a factor of influence. For better or forworse.
