Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Documents the artworks of the exhibition Repair, Australian Pavilion, 16th International Architecture Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia, under the creative direction of Baracco+Wright Architects in collaboration with Linda Tegg. It shares the thinking embodied in the work and reflects on the spaces prompted by its life. The exhibition invites you to look anew at a plant community that has been overlooked as a site only for human use, to the extent that there is only 1% now left and to reflect on the ground, what it supports, what is displaced. As presented through our premier cultural institution, La Biennale di Venezia, this exhibition will live on through seed the authors of this investigation have already started to collect and through relationships they are building with research institutes in Europe.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book documents the materiality and spaces of the Garden House by Baracco+Wright Architects through photographs by Rory Gardiner. The imagery and thoughts reflect on the dialogue of building, life and systems conceived in an ongoing project of environmental repair. This holiday house is conceived as just a little more than a tent: a deck and raised platform are covered by a transparent 'shed'; the interior perimeter 'veranda' is garden space; the soil and natural ground line are maintained and carried through; a low lying site with terrestrial orchids and lillies, flood waters seasonally move through the site unimpeded; similarly the indigenous vegetation has begun to grow inside.B+W believe in a wide role for architectural thinking beyond the individual building. All projects are approached with a particular and equal attention to the parts and the whole, to individual project conditions and to the discourse of Architecture.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The book focuses on ways to reinvent public housing in New York Citythrough a series of design projects from Yale School of Architecture thatintegrate form and provide social programs for the residents.The students investigated the relationship between housing, equity, health, and community. The students developed comprehensive frameworks for theWashington Houses, three connected superblocks equivalent to seven NewYork City blocks. The concepts focused on restitching the project into the city street grid andsought ways to add new built fabric that would allow the Modernist towers-in-the park project to connect with public streets. Some found ways to keepthe superblock with interventions to support the community at differentscales and family structures. Urban farms and community facilities as well asrecreation spaces were included in order to have a range of interventions forcare, health, and equity that could reorient public housing. …

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This anthology is a critical reflection on the making of Soil Lab, a project built with a community in North Lawndale, Chicago, and hosted by the Danish Arts Foundation at the 2021 edition of the Chicago Architecture Biennial. The pages give space to a conversation that stretches far outside both the confines of the Soil Lab's site in North Lawndale and the short duration of the biennial. The book is a meeting place for the voices which contributed to the Soil Lab project, and maps their constellation of disciplinesacross architecture, art, anthropology, ecology, craft and community workand global geographies, including the US, Denmark, Ireland, Puerto Rico and Austria. The story of the project, and the many lives and threads that it brushed up against, is told through histories, criticism, photographic essays, instruction manuals, soil recipes and interviews.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - This book is about climate and architecture. Written by the Swiss architect Philippe Rahm, it is at the same time a monograph on the architectural, urbanistic and landscape work of the office 'Philippe Rahm architectes', a manifesto for a climatic architecture to face global warming, and a theoretical and practical treatise on the art of building atmospheres.Architecture and urbanism were traditionally based on climate and health, as we can read in treatises of Vitruvius, Palladio or Alberti, where exposure to wind and sun, variations in temperature and humidity influenced the forms of cities and buildings. These fundamental causes of urban planning and buildings were ignored in the second half of the 20th century thanks to the enormous use of fossil energy by heating and air conditioning systems, pumps and refrigerators, that today cause the greenhouse effect and global warming. The fight against climate change forces the architects and urban designer to take back seriously the climatic issue in order to base their design on more consideration to the local climatic context and energy resources. Faced with the climatic challenge of the 21st century, we propose to reset our discipline on its intrinsic atmospheric qualities, where air, light, heat or humidity are recognized are real materials of building, convection, thermal conduction, evaporation, emissivity, or effusivity are becoming design tools for composing architecture and cities, and through materialism dialectic, are able to revolutionize esthetic and social values.…
