Presenting a range of original perspectives on the theoretical work of Canadian architect George
Baird, this publication constructs for the first time a critical framework of his contribution to
architectural discourse over a period of more than 50 years. The influence of his writing on more
recent scholarly work is also addressed. The book includes previously unpublished essays and
interviews with key protagonists, among them Peter Eisenman and Kenneth Frampton, who have
enjoyed intellectual exchanges with Baird. In total, eighteen contributors converge on Baird's
complex career as an example of the architect's public engagement in contemporary society.

Log 48 - Expanding Modes of Practice

Anyone Corporation 2020 ISBN 9780999237366 Acqn 30711
Pb 16x24cm 172pp col ills £18

Once again, architecture is looking at itself in the mirror. Theorists and practitioners are
reorienting the field's tools and methods to address social complexity at the scales of both
systemic conditions and interpersonal exchange. These expanding modes of practice suggest
that the centre of architecture is shifting and cannot hold. Approaching this shift in multiple ways,
contributors Bryony Roberts (introduction), Peggy Deamer (feminist architecture), Katy Barkan
(reshuffling hierarchies), Ana Miljacki (collective learning), Jia Yi Gu (cultivating care), Mabel O.
Wilson (decolonising practice), Margo Handwerker (parsing social practice), and others weigh in
on the issue.

Arquitectura Viva 222 - Sauerbruch Hutton

Avisa 2020 no ISBN Acqn 30718
Pb 24x30cm 80pp col ills £19.50

Since its founding in 1989, the Berlin practice of Matthias Sauerbruch and Louisa Hutton has
successfully combined a scrupulous attention to programs with an artistic bent that translates into
an unprejudiced use of colour in large corporate and cultural buildings designed, too, with a
strong caring for the environment, as we can see in the three buildings presented in detail in this
issue of Arquitectura Viva: The District M9 Museum in Mestre (Venice), the enlarged Experimenta
Museum in Heilbronn (Germany), and the student apartments in Hamburg.

AV Monographs 225 - Aires Mateus 20 Years, 20 Works

Avisa 2020 ISBN 9788409206919 Acqn 30812
Pb 24x30cm 112pp col ills £36.50

Since the turn of the century, the brothers of Lisbon-based practice Aires Mateus have expanded
their formal and material repertoire, blurring the limits of the building with the exterior, the
topography, or the existing. Such an enrichment of the architectural vocabulary combines the
abstraction of their beginnings with many figurative references extracted from the historic and the
vernacular. This issue celebrates their innovation with 20 works completed since 2000. The
selection features numerous private homes but also the School of Architecture in Tournai
(Belgium), the EDP Headquarters in Lisbon, and the Furnas Monitoring and Research Centre,
located in the Azores.

Pb 22x29cm 176pp col ills £31.50

This instalment of the magazine examines the application of computational design and digital
fabrication across a spectrum of materials and scales, from a free-form high-rise exoskeleton by
Zaha Hadid Architects or biomimetic wearables by Neri Oxman and the Mediated Matter Group at
MIT, to the printed structure of a nonstandard brick, developed by Sabin Lab at Cornell
University. With a selection of fourteen projects by designers and architects working in cross-
disciplinary ways, it explores what can be achieved by "thinking digitally" and raises questions
about the relationship between natural systems, digital technology, and the shaping of the
material environment.

highlights eight works from the Mies Foundation's "Art Intervention" initiative at the Barcelona
Pavilion.

A.Mag 2020 ISBN 9789895462070 Acqn 30824
Pb 24x32cm 208pp col ills £47

The new generation of Mexican architecture is represented by Taller Hector Barroso and Estudio
Macias Peredo, two offices whose work emerges in harmony with the surrounding site,
generating spaces with an emotional content that evoke memory and highlight the habitable
quality of their architecture. Projects by the former, established by Barroso in Mexico City in 2011,
often take advantage of the natural resources of each place, including local materials and
construction methods. Estudio Macias Peredo was launched in 2012 in Guadalajara, with a
special focus on the local context. This developing interest has become the central theme of their
approach.

A magazine focusing on the architectural process, 'DOMa' aims to revisit architecture in a more
informed and elaborate manner, to understand and criticise it from within. These days we are
often pushed to simply consume the final architectural product. The creative process is frequently
overlooked, and only too seldom recorded in the media. With the launch of its first issue, this
Athens-based independent institution for contemporary architecture looks at OE House by Fake
Industries Architectural Agonism and Aixopluc, MAIO's 22 Dwellings Housing Block in Barcelona,
Hunters Point Library by Steven Holl Architects, and the subtle mutations of the House with
Courtyard by MOS.

Ja 117- Kunio Maekawa

Shinkenchiku-Sha Co. Ltd. 2020 no ISBN Acqn 30878
Pb 22x30cm 184pp col ills £38.95

JA 117 features Kunio Maekawa (1905-1986), a leading figure in Japanese modernist

architecture, who has worked for both Le Corbusier and Antonin Raymond. Guest editor Hera van
Sande, a Belgian architect, introduces her unique vision on Maekawa from both a Western
perspective and an architect's perspective. Kunio Maekawa's work has established a Japanese
architectural identity within the context of modernism. His work is therefore intricately intertwined
with both modernism and Japaneseness. Based on this idea, this issue approaches Kunio
Maekawa's work from these two main aspects.

a+u Publishing Co. Ltd. 2020 no ISBN Acqn 30879
Pb 22x29cm 152pp col ills £33.75

Guest editor Yasuhiro Teramatsu turns this issue's focus on the turbulent 1970s. Precluded by
the May Revolution of 1968 - a turning point for post-war society that encompassed many social
and cultural reforms - the following decade's sense of crisis and uncertainty nevertheless played
out alongside a period of new thinking and experimentation in the architectural field. Historian of
architectural theory Harry F. Mallgrave offers an analysis of the discourses that were particularly
important and their connections to architecture, while taking into account the zeitgeist of this
transformative period. Featuring numerous exemplary works, the result is a vital cross-section of
the decade.

Belgian architect Xaveer de Geyter is the focus of this issue, which features a selection of
projects from the past fifteen years. He began his career working with Rem Koolhaas at OMA,
and started his own firm in the early 1990s. De Geyter believes architecture is about opening up
possibilities: the potential of a site, the hidden opportunity of a particular situation, of a
programmatic conflict. Among the featured projects are Hasselt's Z33 Museum, Sint-Lucas
School of Fine Arts in Ghent, a learning and innovation centre in Brussels, and a design for the
International Olympic Committee Headquarters. Includes an interview with the architect by Sarah
Whiting and essay by Philip Ursprung.

Kengo Kuma - Furniture That Blends Into The Surroundings

Time & Style 2020 no ISBN Acqn 30886
Hb 28x21cm 264pp col ills £77

In contrast to the Western world, furniture does not have much of a presence within traditional
Japanese architecture. Kengo Kuma believes that this unique stance towards furniture is not due
solely to the practice of sitting on tatami matting on the floor, but rather also stems from the
transparent nature of this architecture. Bringing large furniture with a strong presence into
transparent spaces such as these would ruin the carefully crafted aesthetic. Over the centuries,
Japanese designers have sought sophisticated designs that minimise scale and create delicate
pieces. In this book, Kuma explores how to design modern furniture as an extension of these
innovations.

'Holz Bau' is a study conducted by a small architectural office in Tokyo on German timber
architecture. It began with a hunch, a feeling of disconnection between conventional timber
construction and traditional methods when designing timber buildings in Japan. The first part
features a reissue of a pre-war architectural magazine that served as source material and
inspiration to explore further. The second contains photographs of researched buildings, with
plans and sections newly created for this book. Lastly, essays about the technical history and
potential of timber engineering, plus conversations with architect Go Hasegawa and German
architect Jan Theissen of AMUNT.

Disasters Otherwhere - New Forms Of Complexity For Architecture

Quodlibet 2020 ISBN 9788822905130 Acqn 30898
Pb 15x22cm 224pp col ills £27

After every catastrophe, whether natural or caused by humans, the importance of the building
context and its effects in any environmental disaster becomes clear. This is also true in
humanitarian disasters resulting from war and conflict, as well as social hardship, and in most
cases is related to problematic living conditions. Each time, architecture is shown to occupy an
essential role. Its contribution, however, is not limited to pinpointing the appropriate quality of a
building or settlement; its scope can go significantly beyond, offering tools to analyse pre- and
post-disaster phenomena. Authors Roberta Lucente and Nicoletta Trasi examine this in their
topical research.

Encounters With Plecnik

Museum Architecture And Design 2020 ISBN 9789616669634 Acqn 30900
Pb 15x21cm 52pp col ills £6.75

This booklet presents architecture in a manner rarely seen today: sketches drawn by hand. A
sketch captures architecture through the eyes of its author, and this personal aspect is what
makes it so valuable. Here, the sketch also serves as a tool to illustrate the fundamental concepts
of designs by Slovene architect Joze Plecnik (1872-1957), who gave the city of Ljubljana its
modern identity through his iconic buildings and urban plans, which reflect a timeless aesthetic
and qualities. Plecnik holds a special place among his Slovenian peers, and the complex project
of nominating his architectural work for inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List is this
book's starting point.
