Valerio Olgiati’s latest book is about the beauty of the very varied
buildings designed by the Swiss architect, captured in color photographs
and plans. The fifteen projects, around half of them realized
since the publication of Olgiati’s most recent monograph
in 2018, are featured in this exquisite small volume for the first
time as finished buildings.
Indoor and outdoor shots show Olgiati’s intuition for spectacular
buildings and atmospheric interiors—from the museum for the
UNESCO world cultural heritage site in Bahrain to the Céline
flagship store in Miami, from the office building for Baloise Insurance’s
headquarters in Basel to the bedroom of the French
fashion designer Nicolas Ghesquière, from the visitor center of
the Swiss National Park to the atelier for the musician Linard
Bardill in Scharans.
The projects are presented through color photographs, floor
plans, and sections. The elegant book design follows the style of
Olgiati’s highly successful previous book, The Images of Architects.
Selection of buildings featured in the book:
- Baloise Park Ost office building in Basel, CH
- UNESCO museum and visitor center for
Pearling Site in Muharraq, BH
- Bedroom for fashion designer Nicolas
Ghesquière in Paris, FR
- Céline flagship store in Miami, US

Basel-based architects Daniel Buchner and Andreas Bründler
established their studio in 1997 and soon gained wide recognition
for their designs. Today, Buchner Bründler Architects
ranks among the leading Swiss firms of the younger generation.
This book, their second major monograph, features around fifteen
completed projects from 2010 to 2020 in rich detail. The
selection comprises new buildings as well as significant reconstructions,
with a focus on housing designs of various size and
type in Switzerland and Germany. This is supplemented by a
heavily illustrated survey of another fifty buildings and unrealized
projects. In total, this lavish volume features some 1,500
photographs, sketches, plans, and visualizations, most of them
previously unpublished.

Yet Buchner Bründler—Buildings II does not merely bring together
images of individual buildings. Instead, it places them in a
larger context with concise texts that explore as well historic,
social, and economical aspects of the specific location. Moreover,
the renowned Swiss book designer Ludovic Balland and his
collaborator Annina Schepping have experimented with a range
of photographic methods and techniques. Their artistic interpretations
of Buchner Bründler’s buildings complete a stunningly
beautiful volume.
Ludovic Balland lives and works as a graphic
designer, editor, and creative developer of entire

Over a period of ten years, as part of their joint teaching at the
Technical University of Munich, British architect Stephen Bates
and his Zurich-based colleague Bruno Krucker explored, investigated,
and analyzed the Bavarian capital in collaboration with
their students. The resulting in-depth study evaluates the city’s
building history and ideas for its future in detail, and is now being
presented in the form of a highly attractive compendium.
Three basic elements of the book:
Munich Plan: Extracts from the city plan show
buildings and outdoor space in large photographs
and ground floor layouts as a basis for the analyses
Building Register: Features a selection of significant
buildings in detail, such as the Borstei, Technisches
Rathaus, House Hans Döllgast, a typical block by
Theodor Fischer, and the Fünf Höfe
Hidden Munich: Highlights mostly backstreet or
underground spaces (e.g. passageways, streams,
or bunkers) that are key to the atmosphere and
distinctiveness of a city
This richly illustrated book takes a close look at the European
city in general, using Munich as an example. Its features are illuminated
through a variety of means: atmospheric photographs,
precise plans, drawings, images of models, and texts reveal the
multi-layered and complex character of the place with all its
particularities, coincidences, and intentions.
Like many other European cities, Munich has also been subject
to incisive changes, whether through planned expansions,
infrastructural developments, or war damage. This volume
highlights how big plans and visions have often remained piecemeal,
bound up with the paradigms of a generation, yet precisely
because of this have proven to be unmistakable elements
that shape Munich up to this day. Alongside this, individual new
structures have resulted in continuous changes to the character
of streets and demonstrate that the unfinished and unplanned
are just as much a part of a city’s beauty.
Stephen Bates is a founding partner of Sergison
Bates architects with offices in London, Zurich,
and Brussels. He also teaches as professor of
urbanism and housing at Technical University
of Munich.
Simon Burko is a Munich-based architect and
architectural photographer. He has been a
teaching and research assistant with Studio
Krucker Bates at Technical University of Munich
since 2013.
Bruno Krucker runs his own architecture firm
in Zurich. Together with Stephen Bates he has

housing at Technical University of Munich since
2009.

Symbol of Islam, monument of superlatives, and the heart of
an entirely new metropolitan district: the Djamaa al-Djazaïr is
an edifice with many different facets. In 2008, Frankfurt-based
architecture firm KSP Engel’s design won the international competition
for Algiers’ new Grand Mosque, which was completed
in 2019 after more than a decade of planning and construction
work. The vast structure runs along the Bay of Algiers’ shoreline
for well over 650 yards. A giant 230 feet-high dome covers the
main prayer hall, and the 870 feet-high minaret constitutes Africa’s
tallest building to date. Surrounded by extensive gardens,
the entire complex houses a range of facilities, including a museum,
a theological college, a library, a convention center, and
a cinemateque. It forms a unique religious, cultural, and economic
center that is a magnet for the entire region. And it unites
as an intercultural undertaking combining genuine Algerian
craftsmanship with superb Chinese efficiency and meticulous
German planning and engineering skills.
With rich detail and lavish illustrations, this book tells the full
story of how Algiers’ Djamaa al-Djazaïr, the world’s third-largest
mosque after those of Mecca and Medina, was created and constructed.
A historical and typological classification of this singular
structure in the long history of mosque construction rounds
out this stunning volume.

This first monograph of the Rotterdam-based firm KAAN Architecten
provides a comprehensive overview of their most important
projects to date. KAAN Architecten, who run satellite offices
also in Paris and São Paulo, gained wide renown through complex
public commissions that go beyond traditional notions of
typology and method. The range includes include government
offices, museums, urban development projects, as well as
buildings for health care, education, and research.
The fifteen designs documented in the book are presented as
different characters with varying physiognomies, but which belong
to the same family and feature similar traits, hence also the
title of the book. KAAN Architecten invite us to view the projects
with different eyes and to trace their evolution.
Building designs as distinct and at
the same time related characters:
the work of Rotterdam-based firm
KAAN Architecten
Divided into five chapters that reveal various aspects of the
works, KAAN Architecten—Portraits shows their works as individual
pieces of a complex puzzle: a fragment of a picture, a
quote from an article, a detail. The essays by Pierre Chabard and
Ruud Brouwers interweave rich visual material: photographs,
visualizations, plans, and construction drawings.

Wood is an ideal building material for sustainable architecture.
It grows back and absorbs large quantities of CO2. But where
does it actually come from in each case, and how will we make
forestry and wood processing fit for the future? In what ways are
conventional notions of professions and qualifications in architecture,
engineering, and construction tested by using wood as
building material?
Tracing the trees with which our cities
are built: about the challenges of the
sustainable use of wood as a building
material
French journalist Michèle Leloup together with architect François
Leclercq—a pioneer of timber construction in France—have
for a long time explored the ecological, economic, industrial, and
technical challenges of using timber for major structures and
urban architecture. This book summarizes their findings using
examples from the French forestry and construction industry.
It also takes a look at Austria and the innovative work by Hermann
Kaufmann, an internationally revered leader in the further
development of traditional timber architecture. In addition, the
book features five projects by Leclercq Associés.
Richly and attractively illustrated with new images by French
architecture photographer Cyrille Weiner, The Wood That Makes

Exceptionally enriching reading: the new book by Iñaki Ábalos,
acclaimed Spanish architect and professor of design at Harvard
GSD. Based on his longstanding teaching and practical experience
in the firms Ábalos & Herreros (1984–2006) and Ábalos+Sentkiewicz
Architects, Ábalos presents the quintessence of
his reflections about the current and future architectural trade.
He also takes stock of how architectural thinking has changed in
the twenty years since the publication of his best-known book,
The good life.

6 Three Delirious Skyscrapers
7 Dualisms
Absolute Beginners is a major essay about the forms of innovation
in architecture. Ábalos draws on sources with a wide variety
of origins and explains how and why architectural creation—at
least the type that awakens cultural interest—is closely associated
with philosophical thinking, especially with the essay and
the aphorism. Moreover, Ábalos addresses why innovation—as
in philosophy—is inextricably entwined with reflecting on the
past, with the development of new ways of appropriating old
problems.

The rapid change in our embattled environment, especially in
metropolitan areas, demands a high degree of interdisciplinary
specialist knowledge from city planners, urban researchers,
local politicians, and activists. In practice, however, they find
themselves increasingly confronted with the chaotic and often
contradictory realities of urban life. How can one productively
and creatively handle this globally networked yet also radically
fragmented, and increasingly unequal, urban world?
By understanding urbanism as a pedagogical concept of practice,
renowned researchers and lecturers on the Critical Urbanism
MA program at the University of Basel present innovative
approaches to understanding the city in the 21st century. Their
contributions offer assistance in gaining a differentiated view
of the urban cosmos today and of how to arrive at designs that
meet the manifold demands. They also cast a critical glance at
historical injustices that continue to shape the urban present,
to derive new forms of engagement with an alternative urban
future from this comparison.

Should architectural criticism be enlightening? Should it help in
the creation of a better built environment? Is there a factual basis
to it? Does it have a duty to present evidence in the evaluation
of a building? Or should it take on what architects say about their
designs? In the context of a flat internet, should architectural
criticism be able to define best practices? Does it wield the power
over who is in and who is out?
Architectural criticism is at a crucial juncture. While serious architecture
struggles for recognition, much so-called architectural
criticism is merely a poorly paid, decorative legitimation for
hyperbolic practice. Incisive architectural criticism is rare, while
the definition of criticism itself has become opaque.
The 2021 International Conference on Architecture Criticism
has gathered exceptional papers that define the purposes and
methods of architectural criticism: What should be the ethical
basis of architectural criticism? Can it be objective in the context
of paid content? Should it outline ideal practices? Or what else
should it do? All contributions in this book address either the
duty or the power of architectural criticism. In both cases, the
authors offer the outline of one analysis of an existing building.
Incisive and thought-provoking, On the Duty and Power of Architectural
Criticism provides concrete case studies for future generations
of architectural critics.
A rich collection of essays that
offer essential, independent
voices on architecture criticism
in a highly challenging media
environment.

Independent architectural criticism is under

On February 29, 1960, a catastrophic earthquake devastated the
Moroccan coastal city of Agadir, erasing it almost entirely and
killing a third of its population. The world was shocked, and very
quickly large amounts of international aid arrived. Following an
emotional speech by King Mohammed V, the reconstruction of
Agadir also turned into an undertaking of national and international
solidarity. A new and unprecedented process of urban
construction was developed that allowed many architects—national
and international—to simultaneously design the new city.
The result of this joint effort was astounding. In a very short
time, the new Agadir rose from the ashes. The best Moroccan
and international architects experimented with novel housing
typologies, which mediated between ultramodern and vernacular
ways of dwelling, complemented by innovative public structures,
such as schools, dispensaries, and cinemas. All of these
combined into an original urban reality: a modern Afropolis.
The fascinating first-ever full account
of the remarkable reconstruction of
the Moroccan coastal city of Agadir
following the 1960 earthquake
This book for the first time thoroughly explores the forgotten tale
of Agadir’s reconstruction. It features previously unpublished archival
documents and striking period photographs, as well as
new plans and contemporary images by London-based photographer
and academic David Grandorge, alongside scholarly
essays by architects and architecture historians. A three-part
interview with Lahsen Roussafi, who witnessed the 1960 earthquake
as a student, rounds out this tantalizing narration of the
international architectural adventure of rebuilding Agadir as the
modern Afropolis.

Cosmic cow sheds, insectoids, Egyptian pyramids, steam locomotive
hybrids, and deconstructivist housing projects: during
the 1980s, “paper architects” in Novosibirsk, all of them graduates
of the Siberian Civil Engineering Institute, created fantastical
utopian designs. Contrary to the commonly held belief that
these architectural designs made of paper and created during
the late years of a crumbling Soviet Union were never intended
to be translated into buildings, the Novosibirsk group actually
devoted themselves to a practical application of their ideas. The
designs for the kolkhozy (collective forms) in Bolshevik, Guselnikovo,
and Nizhny-Ugryum show signs of concrete planning
deliberations, integrated into pastoral and often fairy tale—like
scenes of country life with tractor stations and witches suspended
in the sky. Inspired by Eastern European post-punk, local
radical-constructivist projects, and European postmodernism,
the Siberian paper architects created a whole range of autochthonous
stylistic figures and techniques that have a clear and
distinct style. This Novosibirsk style clearly differs from the
works by members of the better-known Moscow group of paper
architects, such as Alexander Brodsky, Ilya Utkin, and Yuri
Avvakumov.
The first book ever to focus on the
Novosibirsk branch of the legendary
paper architecture movement during

For the first time ever, this book offers a deep insight into Novosibirsk’s
paper architecture movement and its output. Lavishly
illustrated, largely with previously unpublished material from
formerly inaccessible Siberian archives, the volume provides a
comprehensive survey of this fascinating form of late Soviet-era
speculative architecture from the Siberian metropolis that is
still far too little known in the Western world.

Architecture and design exhibitions have long been important
public sites of broadcasting, experimentation, position-taking,
and the interrogation of fundamental aspects of the designed
environment. Just as individual exhibitions have constituted
key benchmarks within the disciplinary history of architecture,
the representation and display of space through exhibitions
has operated historically as a crucial medium for shaping and
embodying broader cultural attitudes toward the design of the
built world. In recent years, the specific formats and challenges
of exhibiting architecture and design, both built and speculative,
have often been used as critical devices for identifying,
communicating, and convening publics around shared matters
of concern. These have increasingly included urgent questions
of equity and justice, labor, gender, race, class, community, and
lifestyle in relation to spatial issues of density, economy, policy,
infrastructure, climate, and sustainability.
Futures of the Architectural Exhibition records a discussion of
critical approaches to the representation of architecture through
conversations with seven contemporary curators working inside
and outside of the museum. They speculate on the specific challenges
and potentials of exhibiting space.

The new education center of Advan FC on the island of Madagascar
is a prime example of a bottom-up development-aid project
based on pragmatism and with the goal of self-empowerment.
When Viktor Bänziger, who runs a bar in the heart of Zurich,
visited Madagascar as a tourist in 2015, he was struck by the
severe poverty and difficult living conditions of the local population
and decided to act. In close collaboration with Zurich-based
architect Nele Dechmann and the president of Advan FC, Titus
Solohery Andriamananjara, the project for a new soccer field
and surrounding buildings was developed. The complex, which
is soundly based on local building knowledge and construction
methods, gives local children the opportunity to develop their
soccer skills and, more importantly, to receive minimal reading
and writing lessons after training and to have meals together.
The remote location in Madagascar’s mountains and the tight
budget suggested a simple typology that conveys a common
architectural language despite the different uses of individual
buildings. A key part of the entire concept is a simple manual for
the actual construction that leaves many decisions and responsibilities
to the local community.
Documenting the architecture of Advan FC’s education center
and its construction process in rich detail through photographs
and plans, this book tells the story of an extraordinary participative
undertaking of people originating from deeply differing
cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. It introduces a model
of potentially universal usage anywhere in the world in which
the continuous exchange of knowledge between a project’s participants
demonstrates an inspiring alternative to conventional
international collaborations.

Located in the business district La Défense of Paris, Trinity is
a thirty-two-story office tower, built ex nihilo on a concrete slab
poured above a seven-lane roadway. Designed by Paris-based
Cro&Co Architecture, it provides 3,500 square meters of landscaped
public space and links two previously disconnected
neighborhoods within La Défense, enhancing the quality of life of
its users. Diverging from traditional office building design, Trinity
Tower is a unique high-rise with an offset transparent core,
conceived to facilitate open interaction with its environment, and
to promote new forms of working through its shared spaces,
terraces, and balconies, and an accessible rooftop. It marks a
break with the inward-looking buildings that have predominated
in La Défense so far and that are indifferent to their surroundings.
By creating public and semi-public spaces, Trinity Tower
proposes inhabiting the heights and making use of aspects that
are rarely exploited in high-rise buildings.
This book, published in collaboration with the Paris-based agency
Metropolis, shows through texts by architect and writer Olivier
Namias and images by photographer Luc Boegly how the Trinity
Tower project’s different views were made, the iterations that led
to a system where vision connects, assembles, and brings together.
It reveals the elements involved in making these various
views, destined to disappear as construction advanced.
Inhabiting the vertical: Trinity Tower
in Paris offers unique public and
semi-public spaces from street level
to roof-top viewing platform
Living high, the first book on the work of the acclaimed Paris
based firm Cro&Co Architecture, is a deep dive into a truly unique
structure, making the case for high-rise structures based on the
conviction that height will play a key role in tomorrow’s city.
Paris-based firm Cro&Co Architecture, founded

Contributes to a better understanding of
human habitats that relates spatial issues to
broader economic and political questions
Uncovers new modes of making architecture
and maps new ways for architects to engage
with contested communities
Addresses geographic differentiations also
on local scale and explores interconnections
between particular neighborhoods and their
wider contexts
Analyses of three informal neighborhoods in
Africa, Latin America, and India, translating
their spatial and social characteristics into
architectural language
At a time when architectural and urban studies are moving towards seeking to accept
and understand informal neighborhoods rather than ignoring or eradicating them, the
need for experiments on the ground is becoming increasingly urgent. In recent years, a
growing number of architects and urban designers have committed themselves to the
idea that these settlements are here to stay and require selective intervention in order
to achieve better living conditions.
This book contributes to the development of new architectural approaches to informal
neighborhoods and to a better understanding of human habitats that relate spatial
issues to broader economic and political questions. The authors analyze feasible and
effective practical actions located in Africa, Latin America, and India, drawing upon empiric
work to contextualize existing neighborhoods. Complementing essays explore the
deeply intertwined nature of spatial practice, cultural identity, and social engagement.
They uncover new modes of making architecture and map new ways for architects to
engage with contested communities. They address geographic differentiations on a
local scale, rather than between various continents only, and explore interconnections
between particular neighborhoods and their wider contexts. A conversation between
the five contributors, moderated by Matthew Barac, rounds out this volume.
