Water and the Dutch<br />

Water management runs in the blood<br />
of the Dutch: draining the netherlands<br />
and keeping it dry is a process they<br />
started centuries ago and continue to<br />
this day. In Sweet & Salt: Water and<br />
the Dutch, author tracy metz and art<br />
historian maartje van den Heuvel<br />
demonstrate, in text and images, how<br />
the netherlands negotiates its evolving<br />
relationship with water—and what the<br />
rest of the world can learn from them<br />
as our sea levels rise, our rivers swell<br />
and storms and droughts multiply.<br />
From new orleans and Hamburg to<br />
vietnam and China, the world is facing<br />
landscapes in drastic metamorphosis.<br />
and from the dikes and dams of the<br />
past to the new solutions of Dutch<br />
design practice for the future, the<br />
netherlands’ history with water offers<br />
a much-needed perspective on life in<br />
our new waterworld.<br />

Since founding the t.o.p. (“turn on<br />
planning”) office in the 1970s, Belgian<br />
architect and artist Luc Deleu (born<br />
1944) has been working on a critical,<br />
sociological and ecological approach<br />
to urbanism that he has named “orbanism”:<br />
an eco-centric global urbanism<br />
that has anticipated such contemporary<br />
concerns as environmental pollution,<br />
overpopulation, food production<br />
and the conflict between the individual<br />
and the community. Orban Space<br />
traces Deleu’s work and practice<br />
through a conceptual topography defined<br />
by seven terms: architecture, syncretism,<br />
depiction, sculpture, scale,<br />
mobility and manifesto. this book<br />
presents a biographical portrait of Luc<br />
Deleu and t.o.p. office and situates<br />
them within a broader historical and<br />
theoretical framework, where they<br />
emerge from the lineage defined by<br />
such idiosyncratic utopian visionaries<br />
as the metabolists, Buckminster Fuller,<br />
Superstudio, Yona Friedman and Constant<br />
nieuwenhuis.<br />

John Pawson:<br />
Katalog<br />
wALTher könIG, köLn<br />
edited and with foreword by winfried<br />
nerdinger. Text by Alison Morris.<br />
British architect John pawson (born<br />
1949) is a master of minimalism. His<br />
buildings and objects are defined by<br />
his devotion to simplicity and the art<br />
of “leaving out,” and by their purity of<br />
space, proportion, light and material.<br />
Influenced by Japanese culture and<br />
minimalist sculpture, pawson defines<br />
his idea of the minimum as a perfection<br />
and quality that arises when every<br />
detail and connection is reduced to<br />
only that which is essential. With models,<br />
large-format photographs, material<br />
studies and objects, this publication<br />
provides an overview of pawson’s work<br />
and demonstrates the phenomenon of<br />
“emptiness.” among the projects presented<br />
are the Cistercian monastery<br />
novy Dvur in Czech republic (2004),<br />
the footbridge Sackler Crossing in<br />
London (2006), the Stone House for La<br />
triennale di milano (2010) and the St.<br />
moritz church in augsburg, currently<br />
in its planning stages.<br />

the sophisticated buildings of<br />
Japanese architect terunobu Fujimori<br />
(born 1946) combine the archaic,<br />
eccentric, poetic and the ecological—<br />
almost all of them are made of simple,<br />
traditional materials such as earth,<br />
stone, wood, coal, bark and mortar.<br />
often referred to as a “surrealist”<br />
architect, Fujimori designs buildings<br />
that stand on stilts, rest in trees,<br />
support plant ecosystems and rise<br />
from the ground at vertiginous angles.<br />
this unique approach perhaps stems<br />
from Fujimori’s early career as a<br />
successful architectural historian; he<br />
accepted his first commission at the<br />
age of 44. Buildings completed since<br />
then include teahouses, museums and<br />
private homes, known by names such<br />
as the “Dandelion House,” “Charred<br />
Cedar House” and “too-tall tea<br />
House.” this publication explores<br />
Fujimori’s career with models,<br />
drawings, architectural plans and<br />
photographs. also documented is<br />
the construction of a teahouse<br />
designed for the garden at the villa<br />
Stuck in munich.<br />

In this volume, 27 urban planning experts highlight<br />
the backgrounds, users and effects of so-called “second<br />
hand spaces”—vacant sites which have been repurposed<br />
in areas undergoing urban change. the<br />
new functions of these spaces range from activities as<br />
simple as sunbathing in a defunct swimming pool to<br />
the installation of an open-air boxing ring.<br />
