The concept 'Formula New Ljubljana' is used as a means to explore the city's development as a constant and dynamic process. Rather than being in a state of frozen identity, Slovenia's capital inspires new visions. Formulas state concepts applied to architectural products. They are used as the communication tool in the office while developing a particular product, in discussions with the client and presentations to the public. More than one product can be defined by one formula. Formulas exist regardless of typologies, program, location, budget, time of execution symbolic power, or any other parameter that outline the 'uniqueness' of an architectural product. Formulas aim to become generic phrases and to provide a user friendly tool for communicating architectural products. Formulas communicate architectural products away from their technical or typological categories. A formula captures the character of an architectural product and its effect on the observer and the user.

Die Bundesregierung hat mit der Verordnung uber die Honorare fur Leistungen der Architekten und Ingenieure vom 17. September 1976, kurz Honorar- ordnung fur Architekten und Ingenieure (HOAI), im Vertragsrecht und auf dem Gebiet des Honorarwesens fur Architekten und Ingenieure eine voellig neue Lage geschaffen. Der Leitgedanke bei der Abfassung der Verordnung war, die Leistungen der Architekten und Ingenieure als Teile einer umfassenden Bauleistung in Leistungsbildern so darzustellen, dass eine Ausweitung des Einflusses auf eine wirtschaftliche Planung und Bauausfuhrung ermoeglicht wird, und deren Honorie- rung so auszulegen, dass Leistungen mit kostensenkender Tendenz oder gar kostensparendem Erfolg nicht mehr zum Nachtei I der Architekten oder Ingenieure ausschlagen koennen. Mit der Verordnung wurde zugleich der Versuch unternommen, Architekten und Ingenieure vertragsrechtlich und honorarmassig auf die gleiche gemein- same Linie zu fuhren, auf der sich beide Berufsgruppen von ihren Tatigkeits- bereichen her ohnehin schon immer bewegen. Da die Erarbeitung der HOAI unter Zeitdruck erfolgte, wurden aus dem umfangreichen Arbeitsbereich der Ingenieure lediglich die speziellen Leistungen bei der Tragwerksplanung in die Verordnung aufgenommen. Sie stehen allerdings, mit Ausnahme der Ingenieur- leistungen fur Betriebstechnik, enger als die ubrigen Ingenieurleistungen in Ver- bindung mit den Architektenleistungen bei Gebauden, Freianlagen und Innen- raumen und zu den Zusatzlichen Leistungen des Teils 111, die den Kern der HOAI ausmachen.

Designed and built by Leo Salvotti, this small holiday building by the lake - renamed 'Casa Galina' by the local inhabitants for its zoomorphic shape - is the best-known building in Calceranica al Lago and represents a unique architectural experiment in Italy. Through pictures from the 1960s, drafts, and 3D reconstructions, alongside the photographic work of Luca Chiste, this book aims to enhance this building's history. Essays written by experts who insert Casa Galina into the local and Italian architectural history complement the book.

Of the around 20 biennials and triennials worldwide devoted to architecture, the Venice Architecture Biennale is the most prominent, considered as the world's leading biannual architecture festival. The participating architects selected every second year come from around the world to engage in the most important information exchange in the world of architecture. Aires Mateus Architects is the architectural practice operated by two brothers, Manuel and Francisco Aires Mateus. They have been invited five times to participate in Venice. This publication will introduce the five architectural installations they contributed to the biennales in the last decade. The publication consists of five individual parts, each of them a separate book, and held together by a French-fold-dustjacket. Each book is dedicated to one exhibition in Venice. The beautiful projects presented in this volume set an outstanding example of architectural installations reflecting space in a sensitive, poetic and mathematical way. Over the last three decades, Aires Mateus have gained international recognition for their contemporary reinterpretation of architectural traditions in Portugal. Their work is poetic in nature, and much of it is based on constant exploration and experimentation. Their abstract architectural installations are the artistic manifestation of this work. Every installation will be introduced with a short essay, especially written for this publication by philosophers, architects, and an art critic. With contributions by Francisco and Manuel Aires Mateus, Ricardo Carvalho, Nuno Crespo, Sofia Pinto Basto, Paulo Pires do Vale, and Delfim Sardo.

A beautifully illustrated retrospective of Art Nouveau architect and designer Hector Guimard, positioning him at the forefront of the modernist movement The aesthetic of architect Hector Guimard (1867-1942) has long characterized French Art Nouveau in the popular imagination. This groundbreaking book showcases all aspects of his artistry and recognizes the fundamental modernity of his work. Known for, among other things, the decorative entrances to the Paris Metro and the associated lettering, he often looked to nature for inspiration, and combined materials such as stone and cast iron in unique ways to create designs composed of curves and waves that evoked movement. Guimard broke away from his classical Beaux-Arts training to advocate a modern, abstract style; he also pioneered the use of standardized models for his design objects and experimented with prefabricated designs in his social housing commissions, advancing the technology of the time. With copious, beautifully reproduced illustrations of his architectural drawings as well as his furniture, jewelry, and textile designs, this volume explores Guimard's full oeuvre and elucidates the significance of his work to the history of modern art. Essays by an international group of scholars present Guimard as a visionary architect, a shrewd entrepreneur, an industrialist, and a social activist. Published in association with the Richard H. Driehaus Museum Exhibition Schedule: Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, New York (November 17, 2022-May 21, 2023) The Richard H. Driehaus Museum, Chicago (June 22, 2023-January 7, 2024)

Thirty-six architects from Europe and the USA present their very latest projects for luxury villas - from a villa in the city to a lakeside location and those on the coast or in the mountains. The book features over 100 unique and stunning houses.

Therme Vals, the spa complex built in the Swiss Alps by celebrated architect Peter Zumthor, became an icon of contemporary architecture soon after its opening in 1996. Inspired by the spa s majestic surroundings, Zumthor built the structure on the sharp grade of an Alpine mountain slope with grass-topped roofs to mimic Swiss meadows, captured here in a series of sumptuous images. "Peter Zumthor Therme Vals," the only book-length study of this singular building, features the architect s own original sketches and plans for its design as well as Helene Binet s striking photographs of the structure. Architectural scholar Sigrid Hauser contributes an essay on such topics as Artemis/Diana, Baptism, Mikvah, and Spring drawing out the connections between the elemental nature of the spa and mythology, bathing, and purity. Annotations by Peter Zumthor on his design concept and the building process elucidate the structure s symbiotic relationship to its natural surroundings, revealing, for example, why he insisted on using locally quarried stone. Therme Vals s scenic design elements, and Zumthor s contributions to this book, reflect the architect s commitment to the essential and his disdain for needless architectural flourishes. This lavishly illustrated volume about the spa that catapulted a remote Swiss village onto the international architecture scene will entrance all enthusiasts of contemporary design."

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) is undoubtedly one of the most significant and influential architects ever. To the present day, his designs and realised buildings, as well as his thinking and writings, continue to initiate many controversial debates on the achievements and failures of modern architecture. Yet not only architects and urban designers have been inspired or appalled by Mies. This new book demonstrates that his influence reaches far beyond the boundaries of professional architecture. Almost Nothing collects work by 100 painters, sculptors, photographers, film directors, designers, cartoonists, and architects who comment on the buildings, designs, and statements by, or images of, the legendary architect. The works also form a 100-fold re-interpretation of Mies van der Rohe's life and oeuvre. New York-based architect and writer Christian Bjone in his accompanying text provides rich background information on the individual artists and the depicted art works. The book's title refers to a statement by Mies himself on one of his celebrated masterpieces, Crown Hall on IIT campus in Chicago, which ingeniously combines simplicity with complexity.

Despite its consistent presence in architectural practice throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, collage has never been considered a standard form of architectural representation like drafting, model making, or sketching. The work of Marshall Brown, an architect and artist, demonstrates the power of collage as an architectural medium. In Brown's view, collage changes the terms of architectural authorship and challenges outdated definitions of originality. Published in conjunction with the exhibition The Architecture of Collage: Marshall Brown at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, the book features some forty collages by Marshall Brown. These works come from four of his collage series, including Chimera, Je est un autre, as well as the previously unpublished Prisons of Invention and Piranesian Maps of Berlin. Additionally, there are photographs of Ziggurat, an outdoor sculpture with a design based on a collage from Chimera. The full-color plates are supplemented with essays by critic and curator Aaron Betsky, scholar of art history and archaeology Anna Arabindan-Kesson, Santa Barbara Museum of Art’s curator James Glisson, and Marshall Brown that outline the conceptual foundations of Brown's intriguing exploration of an intersection of architecture and art.

For more than forty years, Munich-based landscape architect Peter Kluska has been guided by the idea of creating immersive experiences through the skillful manipulation of space, and his firm's designs have been the recipients of critical praise and prestigious awards in the field. With "Urban Landscape," Kluska draws on his considerable expertise to present a survey of international urban design. Beginning with an overview of the practical aspects of landscape architecture, he considers a range of topics, including spatial construction, the value of open space, and the critical role of music, nature, and art. Throughout, the essays are accompanied by full-color photographs exemplifying the ideas discussed. Kluska presents a survey of his own firm's impressively diverse body of work, including commissioned works, like the Cabinet Garden in Munich and the 1983 International Horticultural Show, and works conceived for competition--many in collaboration with other renowned landscape architects. The development of urban space is of great importance in shaping the experiences of all who visit or reside there, and "Urban Landscape" will be of interest to students and scholars of landscape architecture, art, and urban planning.

Giuseppe Pizzigoni, architect of classical and postwar modernism in northern Italy, owes his reputation to his connections with the Novecento movement, his independence from fascism, and his interest in innovative residential floor plans. Using redrawn plans of some 60 realized buildings, the design achievements are systematically analyzed, supplemented by explanations on the historical background, a systematic catalog, and up-to-date photographic documentation.

Basel-born architect Max Alioth (1930-2010) was a prominent figure on the Swiss architecture and culture scene. Alioth was a co-founder of Basels' Architecture Museum in 1984, which in 2006 became the Swiss Architecture Museum (S AM). Together with his wife Susanna Biedermann, he founded the Ecole Superieure des Arts Visuels (ESAV) in Marrakech, Morocco, for which he also designed the main campus building. This first monograph on Max Alioth illuminates his achievements from various perspectives. Selected architectural designs from 1961-2007 are featured in detail through photographs, plans, and texts. These include single-family homes, a retirement home, multi-unit housing, Basel's Museum of Antiquities, as well as the ESAV building in Marrakech. Moreover, the book introduces Alioth also as a visual artist through reproductions of sketches, drawings, and watercolours. Essays by architect Roger Diener, the S AM's director Andreas Ruby, the director of ESAV Vincent Melilli, and art historian and publicist Ulrike Jehle-Schulte Strathaus round out this volume. Text in English and German.
