Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this exceptional book on the London based studio 6a architects, architecture critic Irenee Scalbert looks at the role of narrative, history, appropriation and craft in the work of Tom Emerson and Stephanie Macdonald. The book traces an architectural approach avoiding style, signature, theory and even concept in favor of metis, an ancient form of intelligence combining "flair, wisdom, forethought, subtlety of mind, deception, resourcefulness, vigilance, opportunism, varied skills, and experience." Structured around notions of situation, intervention, making, comedy, bricolage, chance and anthropology, the text is mirrored in a visual essay of archive photographs, artworks, film stills and recent projects by the practice. 6a architects were founded in London in 2001. The practice has developed a reputation for award winning contemporary art galleries, educational and residential projects in sensitive historic environments. Recent projects include the critically acclaimed extension to the South London Gallery (New London Architecture Award 2011 and Civic Trust Award Commendation 2012), Raven Row, contemporary art gallery in Spitalfields, east London (RIBA Award 2010) and the new Fashion Galleries at the V&A opened in May 2012 (nominated for the Mies van der Rohe Award 2013). 6a architects won the Schelling Medal for architecture 2012.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Protest movements shape public space not only through their messages, but in many cases also through their mostly temporary buildings. Frankfurt's Deutsches Architekturmuseum DAM and Vienna's MAK Museum of Applied Arts are exploring this thesis in a joint exhibition project. The exhibition and the book coinciding with it explore the topic based on examples spanning from 1830 to 2022. Protest Architecture is the first-ever international survey of the architecture of protest and presents it in all its manifold forms and, in some cases, ambivalence. It is conceived as an encyclopedia with around 170 entries, supplemented by 14 more expansive case studies. A preceding chronology portrays some 80 protest movements and their architectural manifestations through concise texts and one image each, including examples from all over the world, such as the 1830 July Revolution in Paris, the 1848 March Revolution in Berlin, the 1911 Sugar Workers Strike in Queensland (Australia), the 1936-37 General Motors Sit-down Strike in Flint, MI (USA), the 1969-98 Troubles in Northern Ireland, Freetown Christiania in Copenhagen since 1971, the 1986 People Power Revolution in Manila, the 1999 WTO Protests in Seattle, WA (USA), the 2011 Arab Spring revolutions on Cairo's Tahrir Square and Manama's Pearl Roundabout, the 201314 Euromaidan uprisings in Kyiv, the 201516 #FeesMustFall student protests in Pretoria, the 2019 Acampamento Terra Livre in Brasilia, the 202021 Indian Farmers Protests, and the 2022 Freedom Convoy in Ottawa. Text in English and German. AUTHORS: Peter Cachola Schmal is the director, Oliver Elser is a curator, and Anna-Maria Mayerhofer and Jennifer Dyck are members of the curatorial team at Deutsches Architekturmuseum DAM in Frankfurt. Lilli Hollein is the director and Sebastian Hackenschmidt is a curator at Vienna's MAK-Museum of Applied Arts. SELLING POINTS: . First book ever on architectural manifestations of protest movements . Features a chronology of some 80 protest movements and their mostly temporary structures between 1830 and 2022, an encyclopedia with around 170 entries, and 14 detailed case studies .

They are presented through colour photographs, floor plans, and sections. The elegant book design follows the style of Olgiati's highly successful previous book, The Images of Architects.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A study of the political consequences of the growing computer "cloud" technology in Israel and the Middle East. Cloud-to-ground is the scientific term for lightning that strikes directly into the ground. The title of this book, published in conjunction with the Israeli pavilion at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, is derived from this. It investigates the shifts in political power structure that result from the wide-spread use of cloud technology: the storage, processing and analysis of inconceivable amounts of data in computer clouds. The focus is on major infrastructure projects currently underway in Israel and the Middle East region. These include Nimbus, a major cloud project pursued by the Israeli government for which Google and Amazon are building new powerful data centres, or the Blue Raman fibre-optic cable across the Negev Desert, also laid by Google, which will bypass Egypt on its way from India to Europe and at the same time revive the ancient trade routes that passed through this country. Cloud-to-ground also documents the decommissioning and demolition of countless telephone exchanges in Israel's cities that have become obsolete. It thus brings to attention the physical nature of these largely ignored black box structures and connects them to the history of the Middle East and recent developments in global communication technology. Essays by prominent Israeli scholars are complemented by numerous photographs, sketches, and archival documents, as well as a newly compiled index of 140 telephone exchanges in Israel. AUTHORS: Oren Eldar is an architect, scholar, and lecturer at the Negev School of Architecture in Be'er Sheva. Edith Kofsky is an architect, artist, and lecturer in the Architecture Department at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem and at the Negev School of Architecture in Be'er Sheva. Hadas Maor is a contemporary art curator and a lecturer in the MFA program at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. SELLING POINTS: . Analyses major infrastructure projects for the storage, processing and analysis of data and for global data transfer and how they affect politics in Israel and the Middle East region . Shows how architecture, information technology, and power structures intersect in these processes . Features previously unpublished photographs and archival documents alongside new essays by prominent Israeli scholars and researchers . The official publication of the Israeli Pavilion at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale (May 20 to November 26, 2023) 168 colour, 245 b/w illustrations This book investigates the shifts in political power structure that result from the wide-spread use of cloud technology: the storage, processing and analysis of inconceivable amounts of data in computer clouds.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An exploration of the relationship between the Swiss and Venezuelan pavilions at the Giardini della Biennale in Venice. The Swiss Pavilion at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale exhibits itself and the relations to its immediate surroundings. The exhibition is a conversation over the shared boundary of the pavilions of Switzerland (1952, designed by Bruno Giacometti) and Venezuela (1954, designed by Carlo Scarpa), the only two in the Giardini not fully detached: they share one wall. Artist Karin Sander and art historian Philip Ursprung temporarily open this wall and dismantle the gates from the Swiss Pavilion, thus revealing unanticipated connections between the two neighbours, both distant and close. The complementing book offers a manifesto, a play with the two buildings as dramatis personae, and three brief topical essays. Ten conversations with architectural historian Kurt W. Forster, photographers Paolo Gasparini and Guido Giudi, and Venezuelan architects Elisa Silva and Margarita Lopez-Maya round off this volume. AUTHORS: Karin Sander is a Berlin-based artist and a Professor of Art and Architecture at ETH Zurich's department of architecture. Philip Ursprung is a Professor of Art and Architectural History at ETH Zurich's Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture (gta). SELLING POINTS: . Explores the neighbourhood between the national pavilions of Switzerland and Venezuela in the Giardini of the Venice Biennale and its history . Ten conversations with architects, architectural historians, and photographers reflect on the work of the two pavilions' architects Bruno Giacometti and Carlo Scarpa as well as on architecture and architectural photography in Venezuela . The official publication of the Swiss Pavilion at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale (May 20 to November 26, 2023) 69 b/w illustrations This book explores the neighbourhood between the national pavilions of Switzerland and Venezuela in the Giardini of the Venice Biennale and its history.

Book
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Between 1924 and 1936, Austrian-born architect Josef Frank built five holiday homes on the Falsterbo Peninsula in southern Sweden. Conceived as summer houses for friends and relatives of Frank's Swedish wife, the Falsterbo Villas constitute a key part of Frank's architectural work and demonstrate the principles at the core of his housing designs. In 2016, Villa Carlsten, the smallest of the Falsterbo houses, underwent an extensive restoration. Published on the occasion of its completion, Josef Frank: Villa Carlsten is the first book to comprehensively document the building. As with all of Frank's housing designs, Villa Carlsten sees the architect paying special attention to the connection between interior and exterior, to the availability of daylight, and to inhabitants' movements through the building. A particular part of Villa Carlsten's charm is its scale, as everything is of slightly smaller dimensions than one would expect. Despite its intricate layout, however, Villa Carlsten is also one of Frank's most accessible homes, and the design is full of wit, combining comfort with modern refinement. Beautifully designed with seventy-five full-colour photographs by Mikael Olsson, who adeptly highlights the home's qualities and relationship with its surroundings, the book also includes an essay by Mikael Bergquist, who realised the renovation and places Villa Carlsten in context with the other Falsterbo Villas and Frank's broader work. AUTHOR: Mikael Bergquist is an architect running his own architectural firm in Stockholm. He also writes on architecture and has published several books on Josef Frank before. He has been commissioned with the restoration of Frank's Villa Carlsten in Falsterbo, Sweden, in 2016-18. 62 colour, 24 b/w illustrations A documentation of Villa Carlsten on the Falsterbo peninsula in southern Sweden, designed by Austrian-born architect Josef Frank in 1926-27. Lavishly illustrated in colour throughout, highlights the building's outstanding qualities and puts it in context with Frank's other work in architecture.
