Since the release of his first monograph, Vincent Van Duysen has
consolidated his reputation for buildings of exceptional spatial
mastery and highly refined detailing, and built a growing
international following. This beautiful companion volume presents
thirty of the Belgian architect's most recent works produced over
the past decade, much of which has been exquisitely captured by
renowned photographers Helene Binet and Francois Halard. The
buildings featured from this latest period include an array of
elegant residences in Europe, New York, Paris and The Hamptons, as
well as larger-scale commercial and public projects. Product and
furniture designs, microcosms of the architect's rigorous attention
to detail, are also featured, including yacht interiors and objets
decoratifs. With a foreword by close friend and Academy
Award-winning actor Julianne Moore, the broader context of Van
Duysen's contribution to contemporary architecture is provided by
architect Nicola di Battista and architecture critic Marc Dubois.
An illustrated chronology provides a complete overview of the
architect's recent projects. Van Duysen has established a
reputation as one of the world's most refined and artful
architects. This major new publication will further cement his
uncompromising commitment to creating timeless places and spaces.
In The Intimacy of Making Swiss French photographer Helene Binet
takes us on a visual journey through a world of stone, walls and
gardens that define and celebrate the Korean art of making. In pure
and calm photographs we discover traditional Korean architecture
through a Western lens. The purity of the motifs sharpens one's eye
for the often-overlooked beauty and harmony in our own environment
and history, as well as for the care of craft and composition. This
book is a reminder against our often fleeting and careless
perceptions. In her photographs, which were taken over the course
of the last three years, Binet looks at three typologies of
traditional architecture in Korea: the Confucian school and sacred
place Byeong- san Sewon; garden and tea house Soswaewon; and the
Jongmyo Shrine. Her camera combines both the nature and the built
structures and reveals the soul of the three sites. The
photographic essays are accompanied by two texts: Korean architect,
Byoung Soo Cho, offers insight into the cultural and architectural
history, while art and design critic and teacher, Eugenie Shinkle,
focuses on the "making."
After lengthy planning, the new public library in Oslo was
completed and opened in summer 2020. Located opposite the Opera
House and the Munch Museum, the imposing building fits into the
ensemble in the new cultural quarter of the Norwegian capital. The
project by Lund Hagem Architects and Studio Oslo emerged from an
international architectural competition and is characterized by a
radical interpretation of the library as a vivid place to meet and
spend time with an impressive multimedia offering in an unobtrusive
inviting environment. The publication documents in detail the
planning and building process from the first draft to the opening.
Essays by the novelist Elif Shafak and the library's long-time
director Liv Saeteren explain the significance of the institution
as an integrative social force. Nikolaus Hirsch pays tribute to the
building from the perspective of architectural criticism. Iwan Baan
and Helene Binet capture the architecture and atmosphere of the
shining crystal in their photographs.

Walmer Yard, in London, is the first residential building in
Britain designed by architect Peter Salter. The culmination of ten
years of planning, the project makes physical the ideas and forms
that Salter has developed over the last three decades. Although
modest in scale, the project is extraordinary in many ways. On an
irregularly shaped site, Salter's design brings four houses into a
complex relationship with each other, half-formal, half-familiar,
interdependent yet solitary. Similarly, the relations among the
core team who developed the design are more nuanced than in most
architectural projects, since they all met at the Architectural
Association in Peter Salter's unit, where Crispin Kelly (the
client) and Fenella Collingridge (Peter's current collaborator)
were student contemporaries. This book documents the project with
Peter Salter's original pen-and-ink drawings and Helene Binet's
extraordinary photographs.
Richard Serra has produced large-scale sculptures for
architectural, urban, and landscape settings spanning the globe.
This volume, published to coincide with a 2021 22 exhibition at
Gagosian Le Bourget in Paris, presents a recent sculpture by the
artist: Transmitter (2020). Made of weatherproof steel, Transmitter
is monumental in scale, measuring approximately 4 meters in height
and 18 meters in width and length. Here, immersive installation
views of the sculpture within the vast exhibition space of Gagosian
Le Bourget in Paris are accompanied by plate photography of
fourteen recent works on paper by the artist. A new text by art
historian Maria Stavrinaki (in English and French) reads Serra s
long sculptural practice through three formal, temporal, and
political moments. Richard Serra was born in 1938 in San Francisco,
and lives and works in New York. His work is held in major museum
collections around the world. Since 1983, Gagosian has presented
thirty-seven exhibitions of Serra s work in the United States and
Europe.
