Jose Manuel Ballester – Spaces

Norman Foster Foundation 2018 ISBN 9788494717918 Acqn 28275
Hb 26x28cm 152pp col ills £60

Spanish artist and photographer Jose Manuel Ballester presents a very personal and intimate
exploration of the Norman Foster Foundation through an expansive series of photographs. His
coverage encompasses not just the building and spaces that comprise the original residential
palace of 1912 by Joaquin Saldana, its courtyard, and the more recent pavilion addition, but also
the gaps and hidden areas between them, as well as encounters with a plethora of fascinating
objects. As Norman Foster writes in the foreword, "His images dissolve the walls between those
separate entities in the same spirit of the Foundation's mission to break down the barriers
between professions."

Kasper Akhoj - Welcome (to The Teknival) E-1027 By Eileen Gray

B.frank Books 2018 ISBN 9783906217116 Acqn 28278
Pb 24x32cm 200pp col ills £48.95

For this book, Danish artist and photographer Kasper Akhoj documented the ongoing restoration
of E-1027, Eileen Gray's modernist villa in France. Based on photographs taken by Gray which
were first published in 1929, Akhoj's photographs are a kind of remake, recreating the
perspective and composition of the originals. During several visits to the villa between 2009 and
2017, he produced up to six versions of each of Gray's images, but only included one of them
here. The overlap of chronologies emphasises the restoration process and references the
fascinating influence of a succession of occupants. With essays by Beatriz Colomina and Amy
Zion, plus an interview with Akhoj.

Street Architecture - Work By Hans Van Der Heijden

Hans Van Der Heijden Architect 2018 ISBN 9789082808209 Acqn 28307
Pb 21x30cm 128pp col ills £44.50

"Street architecture" is an ethos based not on a proposed urban theory, but on urban observation.
Like a puzzle formed by pieces of various scales, it represents an array of forces, from the client's
brief to the builder's realisation. In this book by Karin Templin the residential designs of
Amsterdam-based architect Hans van der Heijden are examined in the context of housing and
urban design practice, as seen in the street architecture of Florence and other European cities.
Besides providing insights into Van der Heijden's design approach, she looks at the principles of
street architecture that could be of interest to urban architects and students, as well as
developers and planners.

Goodbye Architecture - The Architecture of Crematoria in Europe

nai010 publishers 2018 ISBN 9789462084247 Acqn 28402
Hb 23x28cm 272pp 400ills col £56

This book portrays the architecture of European crematoria, showing how architecture creates a
space for rituals of death and remembrance. Cremation is a recent but fast-growing tradition
throughout Europe. It links up with our tendency to make more deeply considered life choices that
go beyond death. What active role can architecture play in this process? In order to answer this
question, the authors charted crematoria throughout Europe. Never before has the architecture of
crematoria been so extensively portrayed, analyzed and documented with background
information.

OASE #100 - The Architecture of the Journal

nai010 publishers 2018 ISBN 9789462084315 Acqn 28405
Pb 17x24cm 256pp 50ills £45

The 100th issue of OASE takes the journal’s long-standing collaboration with its graphic designer
Karel Martens as a starting point to explore the relationship between architecture journals and
graphic design. In doing so, it challenges the conventional idea that architecture journals are
mere carriers of information, showing instead how these journals play a defining role in the
message they convey. Adhering to Marshall McLuhan’s famous maxim ‘the medium is the
message’, it considers the graphic space of the journal, its materiality, its production, and the
physical experience of reading.

About Yona Friedman - People's Architecture

Maxxi 2018 ISBN 9788890713378 Acqn 28151
Pb 17x24cm 104pp 45ills 30col £16.95

This book accompanies an exhibition on the work of architect Yona Friedman at the MAXXI, and
arose from the need to supplement the exhibition itinerary with yet another itinerary, both critical
and documentary, so that the issues addressed in his post-war utopian design will carry forward
into the future. It offers insight into the universal language conceived by Friedman in the 1950s,
which can be applied in different contexts to meet sustainability, ecological, and social needs in
our current global reality. It also explores the theme of improvisation, which emerged as a
possibility in architecture during the 1970s. The book features previously unpublished material
and original drawings.

Archis Foundation 2018 ISBN 9789077966570 Acqn 28387
Pb 17x23cm 320pp 280ills 60col £36.50

Jaap Bakema and the Open Society is the first extensive publication on the Dutch architect and
the remarkable production of his office Van den Broek and Bakema. His ideas on the open
society are extremely relevant to the current debates about how to involve citizens in city building
and creating alternative systems to crumbling welfare states. This historical document will
highlight both his most relevant and less known work through texts, archival materials and
photography. The book contains interviews with his contemporaries such as John Habraken and
Herman Hertzberger and essays that each emphasize a different aspect of his work and the
context in which it came into being.

Bunker Ett Noll Fyra (The Concrete Bunker)

Bokforlaget Arena 2018 ISBN 9789178435074 Acqn 28082
Hb 25x35cm 176pp 130ills 100col £59

Used for the better part of the 20th century as a military installation and off-limits to the general
public until 2007, the Bungenas peninsula of Swedish Gotland is where Bunker 104 can be found.
Architect Erik Gardell was tasked with transforming the abandoned structure into a subterranean
summer home for a client. The result, beautifully captured by photographer Bruno Ehrs in this
monograph, is a sublime example of post-industrial modernism. The house was a first step
toward the Bungenas area of today, which blossoms with fresh architectural visions actively re-
envisioning the old military landscape. Includes a detailed text on the area's history, plus an
interview with Ehrs.
