In it, the architect confronts historicism with theory and the analysis of form, whose distinguishing features he regards as the foundation of architectural composition. Eisenman illustrates his observations with numerous, extremely precise hand drawings. This striking document fully deserves to be published here, for the first time, in a faithful reproduction of the original. In an afterword (2006), Peter Eisenman discusses this remarkable starting point of his practical and theoretical work. Photographs by Héléne Binet and Lukas Wassmann Text by Peter Eisenman and Hanno Rauterberg 2700 concrete blocks flow unassertively over the enormous field and invite visitors to immerse themselves in them. The monument cannot be interpreted in any one specific way, it is not suitable for acts of state, and does not follow the rules of ceremonial, which is what makes it so spectacular. This publication was created in close co-operation with Petern Eisenman and records the memorial with photographs by Hélène Binet and Lukas Wassmann. Herzog & de Meuron’s interest in surface and material, opacity and transparency, and the function and variability of images makes architecture speak – not just in quotations and typologies, but by continually redefining raw materials. Their buildings seem to exist simply to present those mysterious and beautiful moments when material is transformed into meaning. “This book is an invitation to a wild journey: anyone who reads natural history will feel they are on an association meter passing through the Basel architects’ world of ideas.” Hochparterre Until a couple of years ago, my idea was that I had no need for a residence. I spent most of my time in my studio or traveling. My apartment was just to sleep in. Now I’m going to plant a kitchen garden around the house. Only one window opens, and it’s violet.

The SANAA Studios explored Japan’s contemporary society as a context for architecture and considered its particular perspective on space, personal and public space. Design studies were situated within the specific demographics and social variables of three distinct sites in Japan. The Dutch architectural photographer Iwan Baan, has revisited the three sites in Japan to capture the spirit of its context and the SANAA buildings in use. With photographs by Dean Kaufman The new building for the New Museum of Contemporary Art, which opened in December 2007, houses the first museum developed from the ground up in Lower Manhattan. The seven-story building, with a total floor area of 60,000 square feet, was designed by the renowned architectural duo SANAA – Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa. This book presents the design and building of the New Museum in a series of interwoven stories, documents, and dialogues. The building expands the museum and its distinct role within the city and at the same time testifies to an important moment in the history, art, and life of the city. With contributions by Georg Augustin, Laura Bieger, Andreas Denk, Katharina Grosse, Ulrich Loock, and Philip Ursprung The artist Katharina Grosse has fulfilled her dream of a tailor-made studio, a place large enough to accommodate her large-scale works and where an industrial atmosphere is combined with soft light and neutral walls. In close cooperation with the artist, the office of Augustin und Frank Architekten planned the studio in Berlin’s Mitte neighborhood and completed it in 2007. The result is a compact, reinforced concrete cube containing workrooms, storerooms, an archive, offices, and living space. 36 Architecture 37 Katharina Grosse Wish I had a big studio in the center of the city Lars Müller Publishers Katharina Grosse Lars Müller Publishers

Every year, various city rankings choose the “top ten” cities in the world. But what makes a city really livable? The answer to this question, as offered by the rankings, is anything but satisfactory. Their economically oriented, quantitative criteria are often taken out of context. But personal eperience is much more complex than this. With contributions by Catherine Ingraham and Keller Easterling Today’s cities are hybrid entities based on multilayered and sometimes contradictory organizing principles. As complex networks of geographic, economic, political and cultural segments, they are caught up in a constant process of differentiation. This publication offers architects and urban planners a mapping tool that creates a framework for understanding the continually changing configuration of the city. With the aid of themed transparencies, the tool allows one to superimpose various realities in layers in order to create new urban connections. Robots build! At their program in architecture and digital production at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, the architects Fabio Gramazio and Matthias Kohler have installed a research facility that is unique in the world. It is based on a computer-controlled industrial robot that produces construction elements directly from design data. The robot works flexibly with a tremendous range of tools and materials. In this way they probe the exciting potential of digital design, construction, and manufacturing techniques. First structures using robots have already been built, for example the installation at the Swiss Pavilion at the 11th Biennale Architecture.

The wide range of cities from which the examples were taken is reflected in the use of different languages. Without claiming completeness, this collection represents a pictorial archive documenting two very different kinds of expeditions through large and small cities of the world. Edited by Marie Antoinette glaser, ETh wohnforum The building site has been a popular metaphor for the patchwork plans of contemporary life. With authoritative information and reflection from a variety of perspectives, some quite surprising, the building site is presented as an extraordinary place in the city and as a microcosm that operates under heavy pressures of time and costs. The book includes essays on specific building sites such as the megaproject Sihlcity in Zurich or the La Défense building site in Paris, interviews with architects and construction managers, and impressive illustrations. Mega-city regions are currently a frequent topic of discussion. Researchers are exploring the fundamentals for understanding the role of metropolitan regions and their social, economic, and cultural developments on a national and European basis. The responsible decision makers in politics and business are calling for new measures for greater urban areas. But that is just the start of the problem: Europe seems to lack an awareness for metropolitan regions. For the majority of politicians, planners, institutions, and residents the features of mega-city regions remain invisible. They are scarcely charted; there are no concepts for representing them or any direct sensory understanding of them in everyday life. 38 Architecture 39
