Staging SpaceThe Architecture of Performance in the 21st Century

Controversially discussed, and widely disliked, in their heyday, brutalist architecture around the world only today is being ap-preciated for the uncompromising attitude these buildings dem-onstrate. SOS Brutalism is a distress signal, as many of these buildings are now in acute danger of demolition or a reconstruc-tion that often may change their appearance beyond recognition. Using the hashtag #SOSBrutalism, the Deutsches Architektur-museum (DAM) and the Wüstenrot Foundation have initiated a vast collaborative research project, galvanizing international public awareness for this endangered architectural heritage.

Result of this research is this new book, a uniquely compre-hensive global survey of brutalist architecture of the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s around the world. It features in detail some 120 key buildings, including many previously unpublished discov-eries. Moreover, it offers overviews of Brutalism in twelve re-gions of particular interest. Case studies of hotspots such as the Macedonian capital Skopje or New Haven, CN, and essays on the history and theory of Brutalism round out this lavishly illustrated book.

The first-ever global survey of brutalist architecture from the 1950s to the 1970s: a vast and uniquely comprehensive research project carried out collaboratively by Deutsches Architekturmuseum and Wüstenrot Foundation.

Peter Cachola Schmal is director of Deutsches Architekturmuseum DAM in Frankfurt on the Main. In 2016, he curated together with Oliver Elser and Anna Scheuermann the exhibition Making Heimat in the German pavilion at the International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale.

For more than thirty years, British photographer Simon Phipps has been documenting the rebuilding of Britain after the Sec-ond World War. His archive brings to attention Britain’s post-war Modernism and new Brutalism and recognizes the architects’ enormous contribution to the transformation of the UK’s politi-cal and social landscape in the aftermath of WW II. The build-ings he has captured range from public and private housing to schools and universities, churches, museums, galleries, com-mercial and, ultimately, entire new towns.

Simon Phipps Finding Brutalism features nearly 200 of Phipps’s photographs of some 125 buildings in all parts of Britain, com-pleted between the 1950s until the 1980s. They create a con-frontation of buildings and architectural fragments, evoking the distinct atmosphere of Brutalism. Essays by Catherine Ince and Owen Hatherley and a conversation with architect Kate Macin-tosh investigate brutalist architecture in its aesthetic, historic, and socials dimensions.

Hilar Stadler is director of Museum im Bellpark in Kriens, near Lucerne.

Andreas Hertach lives and works as a curator and exhibition designer in Lucerne.

Simon Phipps is a graduate in sculpture from the Royal College of Art. He now lives and works as a freelance photographer and artist in London.

British architect Cedric Price (1934–2003) had a lifelong fascination with the mecha-nization of society and its effect on people’s lives. In the 1960s and ’70s, Price began to look for answers to some of the pressing problems he saw in society in the tenets of architecture and design. His intense intellectual curiosity soon led him to other disciplines, including the social and natural sciences, while his sense of humor and self-irony—which also extended to his profession—allowed him to keep his ideas in perspective.

With The City and the Architecture of Change, Tanja Herdt offers the first comprehen-sive look back at Price’s life and work. Based on extensive research, including among previously unpublished materials, Herdt provides a thorough account of Price’s key architectural concepts and visions, and then analyzes his perspectives on the city as a system, the influence of products and contemporary culture on architecture, and the role of science and technology in architecture and design.

Witty and inspiring: the designs, ideas, and thinking of British architect and urbanist Cedric Price

Tanja Herdt is an architect who works as an urban designer and consultant in Switzerland and lectures at Technical University of Munich. She has obtained her PhD with a dissertation on Cedric Price.

Alfred Neumann (1900–68) was a Czech architect whose work was wrought in the con-text of postwar modernism and the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. Today, his influence and impact have been largely forgotten, but, in their time, Neumann’s original designs received praise and elicited controversy in almost equal measure, of-fering exciting new possibilities to the modernist mainstream.

Space Packed: The Architecture of Alfred Neumann renews attention to this pioneer-ing architect who made a vast contribution to modern architecture and had a lasting impact on Israel’s broader architectural culture. Drawing on Neumann’s writings and close study of both built and unbuilt projects, Rafi Segal discusses the development of Neumann’s architectural theory and methodology and documents his built works from the 1950s and ’60s against the backdrop of contemporary architectural discourse and the demands of the newly created State of Israel. The book also features a complete chronological catalog of Neumann’s buildings and designs, fully illustrated, including many previously unpublished photographs, drawings, and sketches.

Swedish-American architect Lars Lerup‘s writings suggest a mindful collector as their author, rather than a scholar and theoretician. Lerup sharply observes and analyses his urban environment and its properties before adding his findings to his own theory of the modern city.

The Continuous City collects fourteen essays Lerup wrote the as self-contained pieces, yet forming a coherent entity. The book offers a survey of his thinking on identity and monumentality and the relationship between nature and culture. He considers influ-ential modern landscape designer Roberto Burle Marx, the “dancing floors” of Rem Koolhaas’s Seattle Central Library, Herzog & de Meuron’s 1111 Lincoln Road project in Miami Beach, the character of urban icons like Coop Himmelb(l)au’s Dalian Interna-tional Conference Center, and much more.

Lerup invites his readers to join him on his journey and to be enriched, rather than instructed, en route.

What is the role of architecture if not to realize a shared vision of the “good life,” a vi-sion that in the age of architectural modernism shaped—and was shaped by—a range of ideas about the home? With The good life, Iñaki Ábalos serves as our guide for a tour of seven iconic twentieth-century homes that represent various concepts for living. Some of the houses were actually built, while others were merely planned, painted, or created as part of a film set. We see Mies van der Rohe’s House with Three Patios, Mar-tin Heidegger’s cabin in the Black Forest, Picasso’s Villa La Californie in Cannes, and the New York loft that Andy Warhol called the Factory. From the ultramodern geomet-ric houses and gardens in Jacques Tati’s Mon Oncle, we travel to the famed hobby-kit house in Buster Keaton’s One Week and on to the sunny swimming pool and home in David Hockney’s painting A Bigger Splash. Ábalos takes readers through the key philo-sophical precepts that likely guided the creation of these homes, making insightful points about the relationship between ideas about a particular modern way of living and approaches to architecture and design.

How we build, how things are made and materials are assembled, reflects the social, economic and political conditions of a society. Changing the status-quo by community action is a focal point in the work of Assemble, who have developed a signature blend of social activation, poetic spaces and ecological and economic sustainability. Assem-ble’s 18 members started their collaboration in 2010, following their graduation from Cambridge University. Their portfolio comprises diverse projects such as a temporary cinema at a former petrol station, affordable workspaces for artists, the foundation of social enterprises, the revitalization of a former working-class neighborhood, or designing a new art gallery for Goldsmiths, University of London. In 2015, Assemble was awarded the Turner Prize, the first architects to win Europe’s most prestigious distinction for contemporary art.

Assemble: How We Build offers a first comprehensive insight into their work, featuring ten selected projects alongside essays that provide background information and reflect on Assemble’s objectives and philosophy. The book is published in conjunction with a major exhibition at Architekturzentrum Wien in summer 2017.

Walters Way and Segal Close are two tiny roads in Lewisham, south London. The twenty homes they contain are unusual, both in the way they look and in the way they were conceived and built. Designed by German-born modernist architect Walter Segal, they were part of a council-run scheme that allowed ordinary people to build their own homes. Thirty years on they are still standing and have been adapted to meet the needs of today’s residents.

This book by two by two residents of Walters Way and Segal Close, journalist Alice Grahame and photographer Taran Wilkhu, tells the story of how the streets came to be built and the of estate’s development since. Neither Grahame nor Wilkhu are the initial inhabitants of their respective homes, but when they moved in they both were instantly fascinated by the story of how and why they were made. The book was created in col-laboration with the occupants of both streets, who all opened their houses and shared their insights of life on a Segal estate.

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) undoubtedly is one of the most significant and influential architects ever. His designs and buildings, as well as his thinking and writ-ing, to this day continue to spark heated debates on achievement and failure in modern architecture. Yet not only architects and urban designers have been inspired or ap-palled by Mies. This new book demonstrates that his influence reaches far beyond the boundaries of the professional architecture world.

Almost Nothing collects work by one-hundred painters, sculptors, photographers, film directors, designers, cartoonists, and architects who comment on or appropriate build-ings, designs, and statements by or images of the legendary architect. New York-based architect and writer Christian Bjone amplifies the selections with a commentary offer-ing rich background information on the individual artists and the depicted art works, and the result is a striking celebration of Mies van der Rohe’s lasting influence.

Mies van der Rohe-inspired art works by international artists such as Rita Ernst, Daniel Libeskind, Sarah Morris, Erwin Wurm, Rem Koolhaas, Konstantin Grcic, Kurt Schwitters, Peter Eisenman, Isa Genzken, Alexander Calder, Thomas Ruff, Ed Ruscha, Thomas Schütte, Yves Klein, Christo & Jeanne-Claude, Dan Graham, and others

Christian Bjone graduated in architecture from University of Illinois at Chicago and Princeton University. Living and working in New York, he is the author of a number of books on architec-tural history.

The success of any architectural project depends on the architect’s ability to depict it. Conveying architectural ideas as drawings, pictures, or models is both a critical part of the process and one that can tell us much about the design itself in a particular time or place. Over the past two decades, major new trends in architectural representation have emerged in Japan, which have gained widespread attention in the Western world.

Pictures of the Floating Microcosm considers these trends and takes readers through their development to the present day. Olivier Meystre undertakes a critique of the de-sign tools and mediation techniques that have been employed and reveals the very spe-cial ways of conceiving an architectural project, drawing on a wealth of new research and interviews with contemporary Japanese architects. His book is a fascinating testi-mony of an entire generation of architects’ complex approaches, where all attributes of space are questioned and redefined while a strong undercurrent of tradition continues to have pivotal influence.

A unique insight into the design process and representational methods of contemporary Japanese Architects, featuring works by Kazuo Shinohara, Toyô Itô, SANAA, Atelier Bow-Wow, Junya Ishigami, and others

Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan and formerly part of the Russian Empire and Soviet Union, is the original oil city, with oil and urbanism thoroughly intertwined—economi-cally, politically, and physical—in the city’s fabric. Baku saw its first oil boom in the late nineteenth century, driven by the Russian branch of the Nobel family modernizing the oil fields around Baku as local oil barons poured their new wealth into building a cosmopolitan city center. During the Soviet period, Baku became the site of an ur-ban experiment: the shaping of an oil city of socialist man. That project included Neft Dashlari, a city built on trestles in the Caspian Sea and designed to house thousands of workers, schools, shops, gardens, clinics, and cinemas as well as 2,000 oil rigs, pipelines, and collecting stations. Today, as it heads into an uncertain post-oil future, Baku’s planners and business elites regard the legacy of its past as a resource that sustains new aspirations and identities.

Richly illustrated with historical images and archival material, this book tells the story of the city, paying particular attention to how the disparate spatial logics, knowledge bases, and practices of oil production and urban production intersected, affected, and transformed one another, creating an urban cultural environment unique among extraction sites.

The first-ever comprehensive study on the close interplay of oil industry and urbanism

South of Geneva, Switzerland, the river Aire runs across a plain that for centuries has been agricultural land. Since the late nineteenth century, the waterway has been em-banked for flood protection, which has caused a gradual loss of habitat for a large variety of plants and animals. In 2001, a decision was made to renaturalize the river. Yet rather than merely reconstructing the river’s former natural bed, Superpositions, the association of firms commissioned with the project, applied “topographic imagina-tion,” a method that combines the embanked channel with a newly designed pasture landscape.

This new book documents that renaturalization project through drawings, images of construction work, and images of the new waterway. Essays and commentary by in-ternational contributors demonstrate how the restored river has been transformed, becoming again a characteristic feature of this landscape on the fringe of the city.

Swiss architecture has come to be associated with iconic buildings and celebrated ar-chitects and firms like Peter Zumthor, Marion Botta, and Herzog & de Meuron. Yet there is a wide variety of other projects that contribute to a distinctly Swiss architec-ture, including private homes and housing developments. New Housing in Zurich looks specifically at the cooperative housing developments in the city of Zurich, as well as several examples outside the city’s boundaries.

Over the past two decades, the image of cooperative housing developments has changed significantly. Public funding and open competitions have created an environ-ment in which a large number of highly innovative cooperative housing developments could be realized in Zurich. Many now also serve as models for how to meet the con-stantly increasing demand for urban housing. The first comprehensive survey on this topic, New Housing in Zurich features fifty projects, copiously illustrated with plans and photographs. Essays on the history of cooperative housing in Switzerland and its impact on urban development, new urban and architectural concepts, and social dy-namics, among other topics, round out the book.

A comprehensive survey of co-operative housing projects in Zurich, featuring in detail some 50 recent designs that had a major impact on the city's urban life

Dominique Boudet lives and works as an archi-tecture critic and publisher of AMC architecture magazine in Paris.

The results of the 2016/17 research project of EPFL’s Laboratory Basel (laba) on concepts of social space root-ed in land domestication and landscape idolatry, exploring the role agriculture played in modern Israel’s urbanization processes, creation of a national narrative, and changes in local climate.

An exploration of exemplary modern and contemporary designs using steel const-ruction for the rebuilding, expansion, and heightening of existing buildings. The essays also look at theoretical and technical fundamentals of this scarcely published topic.

Aa exploration in images and text of Kashef Chowdhury’s intriguing glass labyrinth at the 2016 International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale. The installa-tion expressed the anxiety that the artist experiences in his work due to a myriad of uncertainties.

A unique analytical review of Baron Haussmann’s redevelop ment of Paris from today's perspective, demon-strating how Haussmann’s vision and concepts grapple with the challenges that contemporary cities face and continue to influence urban design in the 21st century.

Climate gardens enable the experience of climate change’s consequences on a local or regional level

The experiment adds a personal and emotional dimension to abstract climate scenarios

The book serves as practical manual for the design of climate gardens

The garden is a recurring motif in the work of Zurich-based firm Edelaar Mosayebi Inderbitzin Architects, featuring prominently in many of their designs as idea, vision, or built space. In an exhibition at Architektur Galerie Berlin in fall 2016, they transformed the entire gallery space into a living garden. The eponymous booklet features this tem-porary installation and offers an insight into its making in striking photographs. Essays by Edelaar Mosayebi Inderbitzin and Stephen Bates and a conversation with the archi-tects by Martin Steinmann explore the meaning of the garden in a selection of their projects also from a historical and theoretical perspective.

Though the effects of climate change are more visible every year, it is still largely not a tangible phenomenon in day-to-day life—which is one of the reasons it’s hard to galva-nize action to prevent it. The Climate Garden experience attempts to solve that problem by enabling people to experience the anticipated effects of climate change firsthand. This book serves as a manual for the implementation of such a public experiment on a local or regional level anywhere in the world. Contributions by human geographers, art historians, and ecologists are complemented by a step-by-step guide to creating a climate garden so that people can begin to truly grasp the reality of the problem and its effects.

Juanita Schläpfer-Miller is a science communi-cator and artist and has been working as a science communications specialist at Zurich-Basel Plant Science Center since 2012.

Edelaar Mosayebi Inderbitzin Architects were founded in Zurich in 2005 by Ron Edelaar, Elli Mosayebi, and Christian Inderbitzin. The firm’s broad scope of work encompasses design and realization of building projects, urban plan-

An international study on the relationship between a city’s center and its periphery, urbanization processes and challenges in spatial and in-frastructural planning for the larger surroundings of me-tropolises around the world, highlighting the potentials of the horizontal metropolis concept.

An overview of work by young architects in Latin America, shedding light also at the practice and aesthetics in contemporary architecture of the region, and looking at the manifold difficulties and chal-lenges local architects face.

The second of four volumes on teaching architecture at EPFL in Lausanne focuses on House 1, a mobile structure designed and built by stu-dents of the university’s ALICE laboratory that exemplifies ALICE’s core values commu-nication and collaboration in the building processes.

This book demonstrates the dual nature of Berlin’s Tiergarten as metropolitan biotope of unique biodiversity and vast public space beyond economic, cultural, politi-cal, or urban conventions. It examines a range of contem-porary aspects of this historic cityscape from biological, socio-cultural, historical, urbanist, and socio-political perspectives.

A compact yet comprehensive survey of Swiss architect Rolf Mühlethaler’s complete body of work, richly illustrated throughout with plans and photographs capturing all stages of the featured proj-ects, and completed by short essays and a series of con-versations on various aspects of Mühlethaler’s method and designs.

This book tells the entire story of the new ÖAMTC headquar-ters in Vienna, demonstrating the uniquely interdisciplinary and collaborative design and construction process com-plex and featuring the iconic building with lavish images and plans.

The initial volume of a five-part series documenting Zurich-based architect Fawad Kazi’s innovative masterplan and building designs for the ten-year undertaking of redeveloping one of Switzer-land’s major medical centers, the Kantonsspital St. Gallen and the Ostschweizer Kinder-spital.

Staging Space explores trends in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of architecture, new media, information technology, and performing arts. Contribu-tions by international authors demonstrate how interactive technologies and new media alter performance spaces and how performance artists and computer scientists are breaking ground for new spatial relations on the stage and within other spaces of performance.

The Vienna-based brothers, architect Martin and artist-pho-tographer Werner Feiersinger, have traveled extensively across Northern Italy to document the region’s modern architecture after World War II. The two resulting books Italomodern 1 and 2 are the most authoritative survey of the region’s architecture between 1946 and 1976. They focus exclusively on distinctive buildings, featuring exemplary representations of neorealism, rationalism, brutalism, and organic styles.

Each building is presented through photographs, selected floor plans, sections, or elevations, a concise text, and address de-tails. The images present a subjective point of view, showing each building in its present state. An appendix provides rich in-formation on the architects. Each volume is self-contained and also makes an insightful and useful guide for architecture lovers and travelers.

In the 1950s and 1960s, most African countries gained indepen-dence from their respective colonial power. Architecture, and in particular that of new public buildings, became one of the princi-pal means by which the newly formed countries expressed their national identity. This groundbreaking book investigates com-prehensively the relationship between architecture and nation building in Ghana, Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, and Zambia. Lavishly illustrated with photographs by Iwan Baan and Alexia Webster, the book documents some 100 buildings through brief descriptive texts, images, site and selected floor plans and sec-tions. Further essays on post-colonial Africa and specific as-pects and topics round out this outstanding book.

This beautifully produced volume is the first comprehensive monograph on the Barcelona-based firm Barozzi Veiga. While it features the standard elements of such a book—images, drawings, plans, and contextual references for their major proj-ects—it also aims to offer more, presenting a broader, more intellectual take on the architects’ output and the way that it re-flects the firm’s desire to find and draw on the primal condition of each location where they build.

Yona Friedman is recognized as one of the most eminent propo-nents of 1960s avant-garde urbanism. This book offers in its first part a unique collection of brief texts and annotations as well as an abundance of images, sketches, drawings, watercolors etc. by Friedman himself. It also features a vast range of documents related to his work. In the second part, architectural historian Manuel Orazi offers an analysis of Friedman’s oeuvre, based on extensive research.

In his study, architect Jesús Vassallo investigates the relation-ship between architecture and photography and the emergence of a new understanding of realism, based on the production of architectures and images from fragments of reality. Based on a series of interviews, he discusses collaborations between Filip Dujardin and Jan De Vylder, Philipp Schaerer and Roger Bolt-shauser, and Bas Princen and OFFICE Kersten Geers David van Severen.

Le Corbusier’s Precisions, as the text is commonly known, are arguably his most influential book. It originates from a series of ten lectures presented by Le Corbusier in Buenos Aires in 1929. This new expanded edition presents the Precisions to a new au-dience, for the first time featuring all of Le Corbusier’s drawings, which he produced while lecturing, in color. A new additional es-say by Tim Benton places the lectures in context with the larger body of Le Corbusier’s work.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, New York City’s administration created innovative policies to try to draw on-location media pro-duction to the city. At the same time, the New York City Planning Commission was producing a wealth of documents that clearly reflect the influence of various media depictions of New York. Imaginary Apparatus reveals the links between those two efforts and demonstrates how they fed each other.

Josef Frank (1885–1967) ranks among Europe’s most significant architects of the twentieth century. This first book to look spe-cifically at Frank’s single-family houses explores the evolution of his designs for this building type, and investigates the influ-ences that shaped Frank’s work. It features rich new material and many previously unpublished images and plans.

Demo:Polis draws on architecture, sociology, and urban studies to offer a dynamic interdisciplinary exploration of the contem-porary meaning of public space. Featuring exemplary projects as well as a range of recent, at times controversial, artistic and urban design interventions that reflect criticisms of the status quo, the book delves into various approaches to the design of public space.

In 1966, Robert Venturi published Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture, one of the twentieth century’s most important statements about architecture. Drawing on both vernacular and high-style sources, Venturi introduced new lessons from the buildings of renowned architects and made a case instead for “the difficult whole.” This book offers a fresh analysis and thor-ough reevaluation of Venturi’s landmark work and its legacy.

Owning a home is a cornerstone of the American Dream, the ultimate status symbol in the land of the free. But is the dream in crisis? The suburban single-family house has become an instru-ment of global economic calamity and ongoing environmental catastrophe. Keith Krumwiede in his highly original, speculative, and satirical book calls on Americans to seriously reconsider the concept of the single-family home.

A powerful example of the unlimited potential for urban design: Typology offers a new point of view on municipal planning and architecture. Some one hundred and fifty buildings are docu-mented through floor plans, axonometric projections, and pho-tographs. They were chosen to provide a basis for looking at metropolitan design and at patterns and differences found in architecture from around the world today.

The facsimile reprint edition of the classic monograph on Sigurd Lewerentz, Sweden’s most eminent twentieth-century architect. It tells the story of his life and presents his entire body of work through a combination of texts, photographs, drawings, and plans, setting him also in a contemporary context through a new concluding essay by architect and critic Wilfried Wang.

This book for the first time explores comprehensively the work of Mahendra Raj, India’s most significant structural engineer. It features twenty-eight of his unusually inventive and intuitive designs through rich photographs and color reproductions of ar-chival plans, alongside essays on his work and career, conversa-tions with Mahendra Raj, and an illustrated complete list of his buildings and projects.

Large-size working drawings are an elementary means in the architectural process and the actual construction of a building. This unique book features around 100 exemplary plans from five centuries. Arranged by category for direct comparison, they are all depicted entirely in color on spreads and foldouts and com-pleted with catalog details and a detail in true size.

In this illuminating book, architect Diogo Seixas Lopes (1972–2016) looks at the work of Aldo Rossi (1931–97) through the lens of a term often used to describe it: melancholy. Exploring Rossi’s entire career, Lopes traces out the oscillation between enthusi-asm and disenchantment that marks Rossi’s work. Through a close exploration of the Cemetery of San Cataldo in Modena, a landmark in Rossi’s oeuvre, Lopes shows how this brilliant, in-novative architect reinterpreted a typology of the past to help us come to terms with representations of death and the deep sad-ness that inevitably accompanies it.

An exploration of the role of narrative, history, and appropriation in the works of the London-based firm 6a Architects. It exam-ines the unique approach of the members of 6a, accompanied by a striking visual essay of archival photographs, artworks, film stills, and a selection of the firm’s projects. Never Modern re-veals that like contemporary society in general, the architecture of 6a Architects is fundamentally a work of bricolage, creating art composed of various objects on hand and drawing from his-tory and the everyday to create something new and vital.
