Modern Architecture in Japan
The contemporary architecture of Japan has long been among the most inventive in the world, recognized for sustainability and infinite creativity. No fewer than seven Japanese architects have won the Pritzker Prize.
Since Osaka World Expo '70 brought contemporary forms center stage, Japan has been a key player in global architecture. With his intentionally limited vocabulary of geometric forms, Tadao Ando has since then put Japanese building on the world's cultural map, establishing a bridge between East and West. In the wake of Ando's mostly concrete buildings, figures like Kengo Kuma (Japan National Stadium intended for the Olympic Games, originally planned for 2020), Shigeru Ban (Mount Fuji World Heritage Center), and Kazuyo Sejima (Kanazawa Museum of 21st Century Art of Contemporary Art) pioneered a more sustainable approach. Younger generations have successfully developed new directions in Japanese architecture that are in harmony with nature and connected to traditional building. Rather than planning on the drawing board, the architects presented in this collection stand out for their endless search for forms, truly reacting on their environment.
Presenting the latest in Japanese building, this book reveals how this unique creativity is a fruit of Japan's very particular situation that includes high population density, a modern, efficient economy, a long history, and the continual presence of disasters in the form of earthquakes. Accepting ambiguity, as seen in the evanescent reflections of Sejima's Kanazawa Museum, or constant change and the threat of catastrophe is a key to understanding what makes Japanese architecture different from that of Europe or America.
This XL-sized book highlights 39 architects and 55 exceptional projects by Japanese masters-from Tadao Ando's Shanghai Poly Theater, Shigeru Ban's concert hall La Seine Musical, SANAA'S Grace Farms, Fumihiko Maki's 4 World Trade Center, to Takashi Suo's much smaller sustainable dental clinic. Each project is introduced with photos, original floor plans and technical drawings, as well as insightful descriptions and brief biographies. An elaborate essay traces the country's building scene from the Metabolists to today and shows how the interaction of past, present, and future has earned contemporary Japanese architecture worldwide recognition.
Dance!
In New York, Berlin and Tokyo, night is the new day, and life is celebrated in some of the most unusual clubs around. With unique style and creative design, a culture of its own is staged.
Modern club design demands spectacular gestures, innovation and creativity. These may find expression in the use of unusual materials, experimental forms and outstanding ground plans. Dance! is a tour through 40 of the hippest clubs in the world’s most vibrant cities, the volume presents the current state of international club design.
The powerful designs of both emerging artists and established interior designers transform music into spatial form. The spectrum of club design is as varied as a good DJ's music collection, ranging from the intimate hot-tip club to a well-established dance temple. The result is a fascinating variety of colorful, opulent and reduced design.
Living in Wood
An important material for many centuries and used in countless diverse ways before being almost despised for a long time in the modern era, wood has now become a source of fascination and inspiration in contemporary architecture. The sustainable and locally available building material is easy to process, structurally very powerful and extremely simple to combine with other materials. It insulates against heat as well as cold, but is also breathable - excellent qualities for a pleasant and healthy interior climate. Along with these practical considerations, it is the unlimited abundance of creative possibilities that accounts for the ever-growing popularity of residential dwellings made of wood. From one-story bungalows to multi-story dwellings, timber houses are at the forefront of the development of contemporary architecture and design. This volume presents the huge creative diversity of individual solutions from across the globe.
In-Between: What Future Awaits with Generative AI?
Advancements in generative AI are transforming the way we conceptualize consciousness. Using the Japan Pavilion exhibition at the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale as a starting point, this publication offers a thought-provoking dialogue between architecture, artificial intelligence and humanity. Imagining a near-future when AI technology has further advanced, the Japan Pavilion stages a dialogue between the building’s constituent elements – the Hole, Wall Columns, Outer Walls, Brick Terrace, Pensilina, Tilted Loop Path and Yew Tree – and humans, as equals. Their conversation revolves around the future of the pavilion and a search for common ground. Behind-the-scenes reflections, critical essays and speculative writings expand on the themes of the exhibition and offer insights into a highly relevant topic.

Totems and Other Essays
Totems and Other Essays brings together 14 texts by architect, historian, and critic Irénée Scalbert. Written between 1998 and 2025, they reflect nearly three decades of critical engagement with architecture and its cultural contexts. Ranging in length and register-from concise meditations to extended analytical essays-the collection captures the evolution of Scalbert's thinking as a critic, teacher, and participant in architectural discourse.
Organised thematically into sections on buildings, cities, lectures, and theory, Totems and Other Essays traces a loosely autobiographical arc.
Earlier pieces echo Scalbert's formative years in London during a period of architectural ferment marked by the work of James Stirling, Norman Foster, and Richard Rogers, as well as his close association with a generation of contemporaries including Tony Fretton, Adam Caruso and Peter St John, and Tom Emerson and Stephanie Macdonald (6a architects). Later texts expand outward, both geographically and conceptually, as Scalbert brings a speculative and at times personal lens to questions of urbanism, nature, and meaning in contemporary architecture. The book culminates in Lives of a Critic, a postscript that offers candid thoughts on the vocation of architectural criticism in the 21st century.

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.

The 15-Minute City
A fresh and innovative perspective on urban issues and creating sustainable cities
In The 15-Minute City: A Solution for Saving Our Time and Our Planet, human city pioneer and international scientific advisor Carlos Moreno delivers an exciting and insightful discussion of the deceptively simple and revolutionary idea that everyday destinations like schools, stores, and offices should only be a short walk or bike ride away from home.
This book tells the story of an idea that spread from city to city, describing a new way of looking at living that addresses many of the most intractable challenges of our time. Hundreds of mayors worldwide have already embraced the concept as a way to help recover from the pandemic, and the idea continues to gain speed. You'll learn why more and more cities are planning to make cars far less necessary for contemporary city-dwellers and how they're planning to achieve that goal. You'll also find:
Strategies for cities to recover and adapt to benefit residents, saving them precious time
Techniques to change the habits of automobile-dependent city residents and maximize social benefits of living in a human-centric city
Scientifically developed, research-backed solutions for enduring urban issues and problems
Deeply committed to science, progress, and creativity, Moreno presents an essential and timely resource in The 15-Minute City, which will prove invaluable to anyone with an interest in modern and innovative approaches to consistently challenging urban issues that have bedeviled policy makers and city residents since the invention of the car.

All to Play For
How can we meet the needs of children and young people?
Just over 20% of the UK population is under the age of 18, yet they remain largely ignored when it comes to designing the places where they live.
In this book, leading architect Dinah Bornat shows how we can shape communities for and with children and young people, as well as the benefits this can achieve.
It combines compelling evidence, guidance and illustrated case studies to provide practical solutions for replacing, refurbishing, and reinvigorating an ageing housing stock through child-friendly design.
It has become increasingly important for everyone involved in built environment projects to demonstrate a commitment to social value. This book provides opportunities to realise social value in a number of ways, including better engagement.

Fantasy
The first-ever English translation of Bruno Munari’s classic treatise on creativity, replete with new contextualizing annotations.
“But isn’t imagination also fantasy? And can’t fantastic images also assume the form of sounds? Musicians speak of sonic images, sound objects. How does one invent a fish tale, an air-cooled engine, a new plastic? ... fantasy, invention, creativity think; imagination sees.”
Never before translated into English, Bruno Munari’s Fantasy, originally published in Italian in 1977, invites the reader to explore their own imagination, creativity and fantasy through a journey into Munari’s mind and work. His theory of creativity, developed in conversation with the Reggio Emilia Approach (a self-guided approach to education) and the work of Jean Piaget (a Swiss developmental psychologist who proffered a theory termed “genetic epistemology”) foregrounds the book’s journey through Munari’s design processes, both working for clients and teaching design principles to children. By turning both life and work into a classroom, Munari unlocks a path through imagination in order to access his, and in turn the reader’s, deepest sense of play.
The facsimile reprint is accompanied by new contextual annotations by Munari scholar and design historian Jeffrey Schnapp. These microinterventions highlight the innovations that make this work as relevant today as when originally published.
Bruno Munari (1907–98) was an Italian artist, designer and inventor who contributed fundamentals to many fields of visual arts (painting, sculpture, film, industrial design, graphic design) in Modernism, Futurism and Concrete art, as well as to nonvisual arts (literature, poetry) through his research on games, didactic method, movement, tactile learning, kinesthetic learning and creativity.

Pražské metro
Pražské metro nemělo být jen dopravním prostředkem. Před 50 lety se díky této stavbě pod městem otevřel prostor s potenciálem naplnit myšlenku modernistů o schopnosti umění kultivovat člověka. Idea se promítla do pozornosti, kterou tvůrci věnovali architektuře, estetice interiéru, jeho osvětlení, systému orientace, výtvarnému umění a designu. Výtvarníci byli spolu s architekty aktivními spolutvůrci prostředí, a proto je také pražská podzemní dráha jednou z nejpůsobivějších na světě. Kniha prostřednictvím textů a fotografií zachycuje tento dodnes inspirativní projekt jako architektonický, umělecký a urbanistický fenomén i jako jedinečnou, živou stopu historie v útrobách města.
