Amsterdam Onder/Under
The hidden history of Amsterdam, beautifully designed by Irma Boom
Beneath Amsterdam lies a hidden world. discarded, forgotten, and concealed. The city archaeologists have already uncovered many of these secrets for everyone to see. after all, the city continues to build upon what our predecessors, the 'Amsterdammers' of old, once left behind. The results of seventy years of archaeological digging and exploration have been carefully conserved and are stored in the archaeological depot.
Irma Boom has crafted a surprising collection from thousands of finds, arranging them in her own sequence of form, color, and texture. These are everyday objects that were commonplace to the city dwellers of the past, yet often mysterious or still recognizable to us today.
With the collection assembled by Irma Boom, she presents Amsterdam's archaeology in a new, aesthetic light. In doing so, she casts a personal glow on the objects that reflect the city's history, while giving each object space to tell its own unique story.

California Crazy. American Pop Architecture. 45th Ed.
West Coast Wild
California’s architectural anomalies
At the dawn of the automobile age, Americans’ predilection for wanderlust prompted a new wave of inventive entrepreneurs to cater to this new mode of transportation. Starting in the 1920s, attention-grabbing buildings began to appear that would draw in passing drivers for snacks, provisions, souvenirs, or a quick meal. The architectural establishment of the day dismissed these roadside buildings as “monstrosities”.
Yet, they flourished, especially along America’s Sunbelt, and in particular, in Southern California, as proprietors indulged their creative impulses in the form of giant, eccentric constructions — from owls, dolls, pigs, and ships, to coffee pots and fruit. Their symbolic intent was guileless, yet they were marginalized by history. But, over the past 40 years, California’s architectural anomalies have regained their integrity, and are now being celebrated in this freshly revised compendium of buildings, California Crazy.
Brimming with the best examples of this architectural genre, California Crazy includes essays exploring the influences that fostered the nascent architectural movement, as well as identifying the unconventional landscapes and attitudes found on Los Angeles and Hollywood roadsides which allowed these buildings to flourish in profusion.
In addition, California Crazy features David Gebhard’s definitive essay, which defined this vernacular movement almost forty years ago. The California Crazy concept is expanded to include domestic architecture, eccentric signage, and the automobile as a fanciful object.

Public Spaces, NY
In their new book, Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample, principals of acclaimed New York-based architecture firm MOS, offer a deep dive into the ever-changing nature of public spaces, revealing their complexity, instability, and contested nature. Through a focused examination of New York City-one of the most densely populated and symbolically charged urban environments-the volume explores how public spaces are shaped by legal frameworks, private interests, and community needs.
Drawing on historical context, legal principles, and detailed mapping of Manhattan's public spaces, Meredith and Sample illustrate how spaces like parks, sidewalks, plazas, and even cemeteries serve as arenas for expression, conflict, and negotiation. From anti-homeless measures to inaccessible infrastructure: they highlight the ways in which public spaces can both include and exclude, reflecting the larger social and political structures that govern them.
A sequel to their precious Vacant Spaces, NY (2021), Public Spaces, NY invites an imagination of a more inclusive, equitable vision for the shared urban spaces we all navigate.
Estetika architektúry
Ktoré budovy sú krásne? Z filozofického hľadiska je táto otázka skôr okrajovou témou. Verejne sa však o nej diskutuje zoširoka a často kontroverzne. Günter Figal vo svojej knihe využíva takéto debaty ako podnet na hľadanie spoľahlivých kritérií pre estetické hodnotenie architektúry – kritérií, ktoré platia rovnako pre krásne staré budovy ako aj pre krásne nové. Kedy je budova umeleckým dielom? Aby to mohol rozhodnúť, Figal objasňuje, čo vlastne budova je a ako možno presnejšie určiť jej krásu. Svoje úvahy ilustruje na viacerých rozličných príkladoch: na stavbách Franka Lloyda Wrighta, Ludwiga Miesa van der Rohe, Le Corbusiera, Chipperfield Architects, Petra Zumthora a Kenga Kumu – na obytných domoch, múzeách a kostoloch, na meditačnom dome, cisárskej vidieckej vile v Japonsku a na konferenčnom centre vo Weil am Rhein. Figal opisované budovy nielen videl, ale ich aj fotografoval, takže jeho text sa navzájom dopĺňa s viac než šesťdesiatimi fotografiami. Z nemeckého originálu Ästhetik der Architektur, vydaného modo Verlag vo Freiburgu im Breisgau v roku 2021, preložil Rastislav Nemec.

Le Corbusier - Le Grand
Back in print, the spectacular visual biography of the life and work of Le Corbusier - one of the twentieth century's most influential architects

Homes For Our Time. Contemporary Houses around the World. Vol. 2. 45th Ed.
When a House Is a Home
A fresh selection of contemporary houses around the world
Climate, environment, history, and technology are transforming architecture worldwide. The second volume in the Homes for Our Time series documents this housing revolution and raises questions: What role do homes play in our endangered world? How can they innovate?
In Sri Lanka, Palinda Kannangara created the Frame Holiday Structure on a budget of $ 40,000. Built from steel scaffolding, exposed brick, and wood floors, the house can be easily disassembled and moved, adapting to the reality of the nearby floodplain. Luciano Lerner Basso’s Fortunata House in Brazil accommodates the surrounding nature: it was built around a tree of an endangered species and sits upon stilts so as not to disturb the forest floor. Miller Hull’s Loom House near Seattle has been called “the world’s most environmentally ambitious home renovation” because of its reliance on recycled materials and its efficient energy use.
Modern architectural history has been viewed primarily from a Western perspective and formed by men. More than 60 buildings from Vietnam, South Africa, India, China, and beyond—designed by men, women, and collectives—mark the end of this era. There is no longer a predominant style, and there probably never will be again. With photos by renowned architectural photographers, and precise descriptions as well as drawings from architectural offices, Philip Jodidio charts the diverse, sustainable architecture of the future. The private homes featured range from modest to extravagant. A beautiful house is always also a dream—and this book invites you to do just that.
Homes For Our Time. Small Houses. 45th Ed.
Petite but Powerful
A sweeping survey of small-scale architectural invention
Small Houses is a tribute to the endless artistic inventiveness of architects and ingenuity of perception of the familiar and known concepts. It is also a conscious pivot towards sustainability and reduction of impact on the environment as well as a daring attitude of change in lifestyle. As humanity faces inevitable pressures such as climate change, an increase in population, and strain on resources, these solutions are helping shape what the world may look like in the future.
Whether in the dense urban areas of Tokyo, the wilderness of Australia, the woods of Canada, or a rooftop in Ecuador, this is the world of Small Houses. The one common point they share, is that they all have an area of no more than 100 square meters. Spanning 25 countries such as Brazil, Hungary, South Korea, Netherlands, USA, Japan, and Australia, described here there are houses designed by 54 architects, including Takeshi Hosaka’s Love2 House, Aranza de Ariňo’s Casa Tiny, and the work of Jakub Szczęsny, Charles Pictet, Lada Hršak, BIG, and Fran Silvestre. This is a journey not only through recent evolutions in architectural design and creativity, but it is also a step toward a more sustainable world.
Tadao Ando. Sketches, Drawings, and Architecture
The Visual Language of an Architect
Tadao Ando’s sketches and drawings
This hugely revealing journey through the mind and memory of one of architecture’s great poets is told in Tadao Ando’s own words. A very personal volume, it traces five decades of prolific creativity, gathering over 750 sketches, models, and technical drawings that reveal the essence of his practice. From the raw immediacy of pencil lines to the precision of technical drawings, witness the evolution of many of his most famous projects— among them Row House in Sumiyoshi, Rokko Housing, Chichu Art Museum, Bourse de Commerce—not as isolated moments of inspiration, but as living architectural projects, shaped by time, travel, and reflection.
More than a monograph, this is a map of Ando’s inner landscape. He remembers light of a stone monastery in southern France, the deep spatial resonance of a stepwell in Ahmedabad, and the labyrinthine mystery of cave dwellings in Cappadocia. Experienced during his early travels in his youth, these memories became seeds. Learn how these fragments of experience, filtered through body and emotion, reemerged as intense spatial dramas, rendered in concrete, glass and light.
Ando has remained faithful to the fragility of the hand-drawn line. For him, it is not the slick perfection of digital models, but the struggle and spontaneity of sketching that captures the true heartbeat of architecture. This book is both a record and a reverie: a meditation on how buildings begin, and how they belong to the flow of time, to memory, and the enduring pursuit of beauty. Also included is an appendix with a complete listing of Ando’s built and unbuilt projects.
In Ando’s own words: “Our imaginations may expand endlessly, shaping the invisible scenes in our minds—this is the never-ending story of architecture.”
