Metalická architektura
Základním principem architektury je vyvolávat v lidech emoce. V publikaci METALICKÁ ARCHITEKTURA jsou soustředěna špičková díla předních architektů, která toto zadání bezezbytku naplňují. Tím se stávají inspirací pro ostatní a pomyslnými etalony pro stavbu moderních rodinných domů i občanské výstavby. Všechny projekty soustředěné v knize mají jedno společné, a tím je použití plechové střešní krytiny. Plechová krytina, dříve mylně považovaná za pouhé ekonomické řešení, je zde předvedena jako výrazný architektonický prvek. Nechybí ani vyjádření jednotlivých autorů, proč ve svém unikátním projektu preferovali právě toto řešení a v čem spatřují jeho přínos pro design i funkčnost stavby. Architektura není primárně o materiálech, ale o myšlence architekta. Efektní plechové krytiny však těmto myšlenkám dávají volnost a poskytují téměř neomezené možnosti. Proto s nimi vzniká špičková METALICKÁ ARCHITEKTURA. Načerpejte zkušenosti od renomovaných architektů a inspirujte se jejich výjimečnými stavbami.
Teaching Urbanism
Conceived as a compendium and reference for students, teachers, researchers, and practitioners of architecture and urbanism, this book looks into current topics in urban design and development: What is the role of architecture in urban transformation? How can architectural practice respond to challenges such as climate change, migration, social segregation, or technology and mobility? And above all, how to teach urbanism and urban design in a timely way and make it relevant for research? As a written dialogue between participants of the 2023 Lucerne Talks conference, the texts offer a shared understanding of applying different, multidisciplinary approaches, attitudes, and methods in tackling these challenges.
Teaching Urbanism is also a call for taking responsibility and position in political, social, and cultural matters and with regard to planning policies. Living spaces and buildings must be designed collectively rather than individually. The essays and brief texts expand the discussions at the 2023 Lucerne Talks on how to achieve this and what architecture can contribute to these complex processes.

120 návrhov ako zachrániť svet
Atlas najväčších ľudských zásahov do našej planéty
Atlas je sčasti návodom na záchranu našej planéty a sčasti sprievodcom nového turistu na Veľkej ceste 21. storočia, ktorú si nemôžete nechať ujsť! Prostredníctvom 120 starostlivo vybraných miest, ktoré možno chápať ako metafory súčasnej globálnej kultúry, vás zavedie na intelektuálnu výpravu. Tieto miesta, nachádzajúce sa na všetkých siedmich kontinentoch a dotýkajúce sa hlbín oceánu aj nekonečna vesmíru, sú v knihe rozdelené do šiestich kapitol: Raje, Utópie, Stroje, Monštrá, Trosky a Nástroje.
Spektrum siaha od Apple Parku Steva Jobsa v Kalifornii cez národný park v Kostarike, malú terénnu stanicu na ochranu voľne žijúcich orangutanov na Borneu, Veľký zelený múr v strednej Afrike, festival Burning Man v Nevade, najozrutnejšiu priehradu v Číne až po Piesočný motor v Holandsku či zalesňovacie drony.
Jak se starým domem a jak ne
Václav Girsa je architekt, který zasvětil svou tvorbu záchraně významných památek (zámek v Českém Krumlově, hrad Bezděz nebo Müllerova vila).
Je také uznávaným esejistou a spisovatelem. Kniha Jak se starým domem a jak ne není klasická příručka, ale jde o syntézu praktických rad, odborných poznatků a nezastupitelných zkušeností. Připomíná, že k architektuře minulosti se má přistupovat s respektem k materiálové podstatě i ke kulturní paměti, a zároveň varuje před necitlivými zásahy, které ji mohou nenávratně poškodit. Václav Girsa je strhující vyprávěč, jenž ukazuje, jak i zdánlivě obyčejný dům může být zdrojem inspirace, poznání a radosti. Péče, kterou do něj vložíme, se nám mnohonásobně vrátí. Kniha Jak se starým domem a jak ne završuje autorský triptych (Postižen pamětí, 2023; A jak to bylo dál, 2024), v němž se autorův osobní příběh organicky propojuje s odborným pohledem. Vzniklo tak jedinečné svědectví o vztahu člověka k památkám, ke kultuře i každodennímu životu, které má univerzální platnost.
Spaces for Learning
Translating contemporary pedagogical concepts into compelling and very diverse architectural solutions
The basic mission of schools is to prepare future generations for life. In addition, they also serve as a means of identification for their community, helping to shape its character and self-image. Increasingly, the institution has evolved from a learning space to a living space for children and adolescents, offering extensive social functions and extracurricular activities.
This expansion of tasks had a significant impact on the form and design of school buildings and grounds. With a focus on functionality, sustainability and compelling esthetic concepts, this volume presents a variety of approaches that will shape the school landscape of tomorrow. From elementary schools to high schools, the book offers insights into innovative concepts that are transforming learning and teaching and shows how pedagogy can be implemented in architecture in a contemporary and qualitative way.

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.
Rewriting Alberti
Much has been written about Renaissance architect Leon Battista Alberti’s mantra of part-to-whole as one of the continuing conditions of architecture. While this underlying thesis has oft been repeated in the annals of architectural history and theory, architects have rarely questioned the idea. In Rewriting Alberti, architect Peter Eisenman suggests, however, that Alberti provoked a radical discourse beyond the part-to-whole dialogue featured in his Ten Books. Eisenman’s in-depth analysis of Alberti’s five built works reveals a disjunction between the architect’s buildings and theoretical writings, suggesting a new relationship of form to meaning based on the fragmentation of homogeneous space.Rewriting Alberti includes contributions by Pier Vittorio Aureli, Mario Carpo, and Daniel Sherer. Carpo, an architectural historian and critic, theorizes that Alberti’s work initiated an idea of the discipline as a notational system akin to contemporary computational logics. By way of comparison, Sherer, an architectural historian, reconsiders critic Manfredo Tafuri’s readings of Alberti, and architect and theorist Aureli draws on Alberti to propose another idea of the architectural “project.”Here, in one book are four different discourses (and more than 60 drawings) which look back at the origins of architectural signs and semiology and forward to understand the way that history informs architecture today.

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.
