The fourth volume in the series The Architect's Studio is dedicated to the works of Anupama Kundoo. The much appraised Indian architect aims to shed light on a scarce resource in our life: time. Kundoo sees time as a forgotten resource in architecture. For her, architecture is a process that embraces the present, the past and the future. Taking inspiration from ancient building methods, Kundoo is concerned with using as few resources as possible in her architecture. This publication explores how traditional Indian building customs, crafts and materials are integrated into her studio's remarkable projects.

The third volume of the series 'The Architect's Studio' focuses on Tatiana Bilbao's exploration of the landscape: from the territory of Mexico over the urban to the interior landscape of the individual building, always taking social conditions into account. This is also demonstrated in Bilbao's various projects such as the architectural design of a pilgrimage route, a botanical garden in the Mexican main trading center Culiacan, and not least the Light of Line, which is intended to enable women in particular to move more safely in remote districts of the city. In constant collaboration with experts from various disciplines, Bilbao wants to create architecture that has a direct impact on its users. The publication also provides insights into the Mexican cultural, artistic, and building traditions that Bilbao incorporates into her projects. The volume addresses the question of the use of collages in architecture and embeds Bilbao's work in a contemporary as well as a historical context. TATIANA BILBAO, born in 1972, is a Mexican architect. She developed the architectural project along the Ruta del Peregrino and is a recipient of the Global Award for Sustainable Architecture by the LOCUS Foundation, Cite de l'Architecture in Paris, and the patronage of UNESCO.

Accompanying an exhibition of the same name at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, this publication examines the recent work of the Chinese architect Wang Shu, Pritzker Prize winner in 2012. At a time when China's explosive urbanization is making inroads into rural areas and leaving the marks of cheap concrete construction everywhere, Wang Shu and Amateur Architecture Studio are keen to work against this tendency by reusing materials from the buildings that Chinese authorities are systematically tearing down and rebuilding after western models. Wang Shu's architecture reveals a thoughtful attitude toward both design and implementation, as well as the ability to react flexibly to the surroundings and history of a particular site.
