David Chipperfield Architects. Vol.1: 1985-2014 / Vol.2: 2015-2024
A richly illustrated new monograph celebrating 40 years of practice through 100 design entries by David Chipperfield Architects.
In double-volume format, this monograph covers a cross section of both built and unbuilt work. It highlights several activities led by Pritzker Prize Laureate, Sir David Chipperfield, throughout his career. Around 100 design entries are accompanied by ten critical essays and a series of articles that have been published over the years by various commentators including Joseph Rykwert and Barry Bergdoll. Richly illustrated, both volumes feature contributions by renowned visual artists including Candida Höfer, Thomas Struth and Friederike von Rauch. The monograph is edited by Rik Nys and designed by John Morgan Studio, the same team that produced the David Chipperfield Architects monographs in 2013 and 2018.
Assemble
The long-awaited monograph on the Turner Prize-winning multidisciplinary architecture collective Assemble, gathering more than a decade of their groundbreaking collaborative work.
Assemble are not your usual architects. They work as a collective, where everything from which projects to take on to who clears away lunch is decided by the group. Formed in 2010 to conceive, build and run a temporary cinema on the site of a disused petrol station, they went on to design the celebrated Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art in London and the workshops at Atelier Luma in Arles, alongside numerous community projects such as playgrounds and public spaces. The fact that in 2015 they scooped the prestigious Turner Prize - more often given to mid-career artists - along the way gives some indication of the nature of their surprising, collaborative work and its cultural impact.
This book is the result of extensive conversations between the group and architecture critic Aaron Betsky, bringing together all of their significant projects to date through photographs, drawings and their own words.

Kisho Kurokawa: Nakagin Capsule Tower
This latest volume in the MoMA One on One series focuses on Kisho Kurokawa's Nakagin Capsule Tower in Tokyo, completed between 1970-72.
One of the most iconic architectural marvels of the postwar period, the Nakagin Capsule Tower in Tokyo was designed by the office of Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa and completed between 1970-72. The project comprised of two steel and concrete towers outfitted with 140 prefabricated living capsules; each capsule was intended for single occupancy and came outfitted with its own ensuite bathroom, a fold-out desk, a telephone, a reel-to-reel tape player, a Sony colour television, and a "porthole" window overlooking the city. In this volume of the MoMA One on One series, curator Evangelos Kotsioris delves into the groundbreaking design, construction, evolution, and ultimate need for the demolition of this remarkable structure in 2022.

Cabins, 45th Ed.
Life in the Woods
Creative cabin architecture, from California to Sapporo
Ever since Henry David Thoreau’s described his two years, two months, and two days of refuge existence at Walden Pond, Massachusetts, in Walden, or, Life in the Woods (1854), the idea of a cabin dwelling has seduced the modern psyche. In the past decade, as our material existence and environmental footprint has grown exponentially, architects around the globe have become particularly interested in the possibilities of the minimal, low-impact, and isolated abode.
Cabins combines insightful text, rich photography, and bright, contemporary illustrations by Marie-Laure Cruschi to show how this particular architectural type presents special opportunities for creative thinking. In eschewing excess, the cabin limits actual spatial intrusion to the bare essentials of living requirements, while in responding to its typically rustic setting, it foregrounds eco-friendly solutions. The cabin comes to showcase some of the most inventive and forward-looking practices of contemporary architecture, including Renzo Piano, Terunobu Fujimori, and Tom Kundig, all embracing such distilled sanctuary spaces.
The book showcases the variety of cabins in use and geography. From an artist studio on the Suffolk coast in England to a bamboo bungalow in Sri Lanka, this collection is as exciting in its international reach as it is in its array of briefs, clients, and situations. Constant throughout, however, is architectural innovation, and an inspiring sense of contemplation and coexistence as people return to nature and to a less destructive model of being in the world.

Základy územního plánování
Publikace Základy územního plánování je určena všem, kdo se chtějí zorientovat v problematice plánování a rozvoje území — od studentů architektury, urbanismu, geografie a stavebnictví, přes pracovníky veřejné správy až po odborníky zabývající se tvorbou a správou životního prostředí. Kniha systematicky představuje základní principy územního plánování, jeho nástroje, cíle a vazby na další oblasti, jako jsou krajinné plánování, doprava, technická infrastruktura, ochrana přírody či hospodářský rozvoj.
Text knihy zdůrazňuje, že územní plánování není statický obor – formuje se v čase, odráží měnící se společenské potřeby a reaguje na aktuální výzvy, jako jsou klimatická změna, urbanizace nebo tlak na udržitelný rozvoj. Vysvětluje také, jak se mění přístupy k plánování v návaznosti na legislativní rámec, politická rozhodnutí a proměnu hodnot společnosti.
Kniha čtivou a přístupnou formou propojuje teoretické poznatky s praktickými příklady a názornými ilustracemi. Reflektuje aktuální právní úpravu i historický vývoj oboru a upozorňuje na důležitost participace veřejnosti, mezioborové spolupráce a dlouhodobého uvažování při tvorbě plánovacích dokumentací. Slouží tak nejen jako úvod do problematiky, ale i jako solidní základ pro další odborné vzdělávání a praxi v oblasti plánování a rozvoje území.
Green Building Envelopes
In the face of climate change, architecture must transcend traditional boundaries to address pressing environmental and social challenges.
This volume explores the transformative potential of a visionary approach that seamlessly integrates plants and greenery into architectural design. By redefining buildings as living systems, these concepts enhance air quality, provide acoustic insulation, optimize energy efficiency, and create thriving oases of biodiversity.
From lush rooftop gardens to verdant façades and planted interiors, the featured projects showcase how innovative architects and designers are reimagining the relationship between nature, people, and the built environment. The book highlights the diverse ways organic resources are being incorporated into contemporary constructions and how they serve as independent planning elements and design features, often in synergy with cutting-edge building technologies. With case studies from around the globe, this book celebrates the beauty, functionality, and necessity of green building envelopes in shaping sustainable, vibrant cities.
Buildings for People and Plants by WORKac
Buildings for People and Plants by WORKac is a thoughtfully curated architectural exploration by Amale Andraos and Dan Wood, the New York-based design firm's co-founders. The compelling volume, featuring ten of WORKac's most recent projects, such as Kew Gardens Hills Library and Museum Garage, navigates through the interconnected realms of architecture, environment, and social sustainability.
The book is structured to present a singular narrative thread by Andraos and Wood that showcases how these projects engage with their specific cultural and environmental contexts to support both people and plants. It includes a critical essay by distinguished architecture critic and writer Nicolai Ouroussoff that contextualises WORKac's practice within the architectural landscape. With a focus on visual presentation, which is a hallmark of Andraos and Wood's approach, it is a critical and visual treat that extends the narrative of their previous monograph, WORKac: We'll Get There When We Cross That Bridge (2017) and showcases their latest explorations in architecture and community-centric design.
Architecture as Built Criticism
Can buildings themselves express criticism? Wasn't modernist housing a collective criticism of unsustainable living conditions? Can a state's embassy convey differentiated, critical messages to the home and host country? Can architects express explicit criticism with their buildings? And if so, how can they do so? The essays collected in this volume present a wide range of effective built criticisms. Their authors' concise analyses broaden our view of an insufficiently explored field of knowledge.
The 2023 International Conference on Architectural Criticism at Shanghai's Tongji University introduced the critical positions of leading international architects and architecture firms. The debate between tradition and modernity gave rise to varied approaches, such as opposition against unstoppable progress or against autocratic family ideals.
Trees, Time, Architecture
Trees, Time, Architecture introduces living plant construction as an important tool to improve the climate in our cities. In the form of a magazine, the volume brings together a variety of views on the relationship between trees and architecture, urban spaces, modernism, politics, feminism, and cultural values. This collage of historical, research-based and creative perspectives looks at how living trees can be preserved, used, and appreciated in the Anthropocene by taking into account their temporal dimension. It highlights ancient examples of living plant architecture, such as the root bridges of the Khasi people in India, Nordic mythology with its representation of a tree as a cosmological symbol, and the architectural use of living trees in the Roman Empire.
The essays, photographs, memoirs, film reviews, and conversations in this book are supplemented with exemplary architectures, new research approaches, and current design methods. They illustrate dynamic processes in which trees play a key role as constantly changing organisms. They invite a transdisciplinary examination of relationships between people, trees, and architecture, as well as their rethinking and further development in our time of constant change and limited resources.
Koncept 10 - Fasáda
KONCEPT č. 10 sa venuje téme fasády. Architekti čoraz častejšie spájajú estetické riešenia so zodpovednosťou voči prírode a inovatívnymi materiálmi, čím vytvárajú fasády, ktoré nie sú len vizuálnym prvkom, ale aj nástrojom na komunikáciu ideí. Paláce a kostoly zdobili bohaté ornamenty, ktoré komunikovali moc alebo duchovnosť. Dnes sa však fasáda mení na médium, ktorým architektúra otvára dialóg s verejnosťou. Na stránkach Konceptu sa opäť venujeme aktuálnym projektom v oblasti Slovenska a Európy a uvedieme ich do širšieho spoločenského kontextu a rámca. Pozrieme sa na rôzne stavby od drobných, ale efektných riešení (HAUS) po rozsiahlejšie komplexy (Ilja Skoček, Juraj Hubinský + Kuklica a Smerek, Compass Architekti). Pozrieme sa aj na realizáciu využívajúcu vrstvenie hmôt ateliéru AMAA.
Architekt Bohuslav Fuchs a Luhačovice
Při procházkách Luhačovicemi najdeme architektonicky významné nebo zajímavé budovy, které přispívají k charakteristickému koloritu místních lázní. S rozvojem lázní na počátku 20. století souvisel i stavební boom. V Luhačovicích vyrůstaly lázeňské objekty i nové soukromé hotely a restaurace a dnes máme možnost se zde setkat s kvalitními stavbami významných i méně známých českých architektů. Lázeňský rámec tvoří také řada méně okázalých staveb rodinných vil a penzionů. Publikace, přispěje, jak doufáme, k prohloubení znalostí regionálního místopisu a k uchování informací o této výrazné části génia loci i pro budoucí generace.
Moderní ruiny
Urbex, to je průzkum opuštěných a zchátralých objektů. Nejde o veřejně přístupná místa, ale naopak o objekty, do kterých se člověk běžně nepodívá. Napospas ničemu zanechané vily plné věcí a jídla dávno zemřelých obyvatel. Velké industriální kolosy, požírající samy sebe.
Zámky jako z pohádky Kráska a zvíře. Prázdné nemocniční chodby s oloupanou omítkou a čpící dezinfekcí. Mechem porostlé hotely, v nichž svůj řád obnovuje příroda. Prokleté domy, v nichž nechce nikdo žít. Minulost všech těchto budov je často stejně temná jako jejich budoucnost.
Na takováto tajemná místa se teď můžou podívat i čtenáři z bezpečí svého křesla. Stačí otevřít knihu, nechat z ní promlu vit fotografie a začíst se do příběhů tzv. moderních ruin – objektů, které se pomalu propadají do zapomnění.
Začínat od nuly
Průkopnice moderny Otti Berger, Anni Albers, Lilly Reich a Lucie Rie
Výpravná publikace představuje dílo tří významných designérek z Bauhausu – Anni Albers, Otti Berger a Lilly Reich – a rakousko britské keramičky Lucie Rie. Všechny tyto ženy, průkopnice moderny, se po nástupu nacismu potýkaly s výzvou znovu si v profesním světě vybudovat postavení. Díky své houževnatosti uspěly. Pouze kariéra Otti Berger, kterou v létě 1944 zavraždili nacisté v koncentračním táboře v Osvětimi, byla bohužel velmi krátká.
Publikace Začínat od nuly poprvé mapuje obtížné období, kterým musely tyto avantgardní umělkyně v dobách vzestupu nacismu v Evropě ve třicátých a čtyřicátých letech 20. století procházet. Přesto se nevzdaly. Znovu a znovu v osobním i profesním životě, ve světě, který se rozbil, začínaly od nuly. Jejich dílo, které je v publikaci bohatě dokumentováno, dnes bezpochyby patří k tomu nejvýraznějšímu a nejtrvalejšímu, co v oblasti moderního designu ve 20. století vzniklo.
Black Earth Rising
A vibrant contemporary art anthology that explores the complex ties between race, climate crisis and colonialism by 100 leading artists of African diasporic, Latin American and Native American identity.
Black Earth Rising presents works by artists of African diasporic, Latin American and Native American identity that address vital questions of land, presence, climate crisis, and social and environmental justice against the historical backdrop of European settlement of the New World. Supported by an exhibition at the Baltimore Museum of Art curated by the author, this timely publication invites us to trace and make the connections between race, the climate crisis and colonialism.
Works by 100 contemporary artists are presented in three thematic sections: Reckoning, Reimagining and Reclaiming. Complex and intertwined concepts are explored: forced migration and slavery, the environmental consequences of colonialism, the occupation of Native lands, the urban plight of Black and Brown communities, and how cultural practices and knowledge systems of indigenous peoples can change our perspectives of the natural world.
Compelling and thought-provoking, Black Earth Rising presents a discourse around climate change that situates the voices of people of colour at the active centre rather than on the passive periphery and expands our understanding of aesthetic perspectives on climate change through artworks that reach to the poetic and lyrical rather than the didactic.
