Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The dissemination of architectural discourse is a fundamental component in the constitution of the discipline as a cultural practice. This dissemination is not, as in other fields, an activity exclusively linked to the effort of making its contents accessible to a general or specialized public. In architecture, how the discourse becomes public is a motor for reflection and historical self-awareness.In the continuous effort to make architecture public, technology plays a fundamental role. While in pre-typographical times authors limited the publication of their work to autographed documents, with the appearance of the printing press publications became the main vehicle for disseminating the practice and associated discourses. However, in recent times, with the emergence of the digital era, these original channels have multiplied. The recent proliferation of architecture biennials and prizes, architecture exhibitions, the exhaustive and continuous publication of material online, the reshaping of traditional publishing houses specializing in architecture, and new online forums for discussing and circulating ideas all reveal a radical shift in how architecture becomes public.This new scenario is rife with opportunities, but it also poses important challenges. Traditional notions of singular authorship, canons of credibility and the legitimacy of knowledge, patterns of visibility and readability, the identification of categories of quality and originality are all topics that require reflection and, in some cases, the reformulation of traditional standards.Editorial Team: Juan Ramon Cantu, Isabel Fitzpatrick-Meyers, Marya Demetra Kanakis, Migel Santos, Aslinur TaskinWith Contributions ofMaite Borjabad, Art Institute of ChicagoIsabel Concheiro, TransferPenelope Dean, Flat-OutRicardo Devesa, Actar/Urban NextAlbert Ferre, CCAFabrizio Gallanti, Fig ProjectsMoises Puente, Puente Editores/GG/2GPier Paolo Tamburelli, Baukuh/San Rocco Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

The work of Cuban-born artist Zilia Sanchez is characterized by her distinctive approach to formal abstraction through the use of undulating silhouettes, muted color palettes, and a personal, sensual language. Sanchez's exceptional formed canvases, which range in scale from the intimate to the monumental and span fifty years of artistic production, have seldom been seen outside of Puerto Rico, where she has lived and worked since 1972. Produced in conjunction with the artist's first solo exhibition at Galerie Lelong New York, this publication focuses on S nchez's shaped paintings made three-dimensional through her unique method of stretching canvases over hand-molded wooden frameworks.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What about Learning? focuses on how architectural education and learning at large faced ongoing disruptions and pressures under the COVID-19 pandemic and how we can reimagine learning environments. This books focuses on "What about Learning?" a studio led by Deborah Saunt of DSDHA, in London in terms of how architectural education and learning at large faced ongoing disruptions and pressures under the COVID-19 pandemic. Disembodied learning and a renewed sense of civic participation, along with increasing awareness of how one's relationship with the environment is so critical to life at home, led the students to consider a twofold architectural question: What is the best site for learning today? What are the alternative forms of learning and exchange it could nurture? A collective analysis of YSoA's changing conditions, from its physical site to its virtual presence and networks, and parallel research into alternative learning models, such as University of the Underground and the London School of Architecture, served as a basis for critique and the making, and unmaking of curriculum in the students' studio projects. The design projects drew from lockdown and needs for different spatial potentials in sites of personal significance for learning. Talks from a symposium with invited guests from different fields-from activism to planning and pedagogy-addressed cross-disciplinary exchange about learning and the built environment and are also included.

The term "family" could also be understood much more broadly today: Neighborhoods, co-living, working groups have taken on much of the characteristics of a close-knit, jointly socialized group.Three presented projects reflect three different rhythms of life of three families between their privacy and the public. Three different ambiences, open and closed spaces, offer a range of uses lived through self-determination.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Landscape Tunings maintains that landscape is more than ecology and technical performance; it is also an environment of paramount importance to one's dispositions and wellbeing-an emotional space of social relevance, tuned with and for its communities. In this book, OFICINAA examines the design potentials of the Danube River as a civic anchor, a bioclimatic medium, and a space for collective imagination in the city of Ingolstadt, Germany.Landscape Tunings: An Urban Park at the Danube explores the city's littoral landscapes with video-essays, drawings, walks, public installations, and exhibitions-each spotlighting the sensate-space where the city meets the Danube's edge. It then showcases the bottom-up and tactical design approaches of the Stadt Park Donau | Donau-Loop project, which aims to foster the spatial embodiment with the riverine environments facing the present challenges of the anthropogenic era. With contributions by Gnther Vogt, Andres Lepik, and Simone Schimpf, Landscape Tunings projects the role of littoral landscapes as a medium for the collective wellbeing of the city.Flowing through ten countries, the Danube is one of the most international rivers in the world. Regardless of its scale, economic output, and ecological relevance, the Danube's landscapes act as cornerstones for civic interaction while "touching" numerous urban fabrics. Initiated in 2013, the Stadt Park Donau | Donau-Loop project in Ingolstadt derives from a three-year design study in collaboration with the various communities in the city. Rather than totalizing, and related to the key German concept of "Stimmung" (tuning of space), the design interventions are spatial tunings to foster community access, wonder and delight. These interventions intensify the particularities of the river landscapes with its distinct environments, and leverage the potentials of the riverbanks as a "thick" space in the pressing commitments to social wellbeing. The Stadt Park Donau | Donau-Loop project was exhibited at the Museum of Concrete Art and Design in Ingolstadt. The exhibition shared the multiple scopes and scales of the design, inviting the public to envision the Danube's inherent beauty as a spatial component in the urban fabric of one the fastest growing cities in Germany. Landscape Tunings foregrounds design as mediator between the community and the riverbanks through its civic, ecologic and micro-climatic affordances. The book unpacks the design process (bottom-up) and the design strategies (tactical) of the " Danube Park/ Danube-Loop" project in Ingolstadt an der Donau.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Tiny Taxonomy offers a visually engaging collection of images and texts drawn from a series of contemporary garden installations, which highlight the role of individual plants in landscape architecture. Tiny Taxonomy showcases species that are in cultivation or in profusion, but rarely purposefully planted. A grouping of plants is categorized by common traits derived from an evolution towards feature miniaturization, generating another form of classification. Due to the diminutive size of their features, these plants are often over-looked and therefore tend to be under specified. It seems that as the world around us gains complexity and intricacy, our biological world is tending towards monotony. Tiny Taxonomy considers smallness a design opportunity, offering innumerable microcosmic considerations of the leaf form, flower structure, and physical habitat of individual plants. Tiny Taxonomy offers a visually engaging collection of images and texts drawn from a series of contemporary garden installations, which highlight the role of individual plants in landscape architecture.
