PROGRESS & PROSPERITY
The Chinese City as Global Urban Model
NAi010 Publishers
Launch: 29 June, 8pm, Pakhuis de Zwijger, Amsterdam

The Chinese metropolis has developed into the world’s most successful urban scheme. Combining bottom-up energy with top-down force, it pushes cities and their inhabitants towards progress, fast-forward.

Progress & Prosperity architecture book

China’s megacities are efficient, with well-functioning infrastructures, top-notch public transport, proper housing, steady economic growth, a low crime rate, an attractive climate for foreign investors, and a glitzy skyline to boot.
Can this metropolis be the blueprint for cities worldwide?

On 29 June, we will present this new book, with four of its contributors in Pakhuis de Zwijger, Amsterdam: David Gianotten (partner, OMA), Cruz Garcia (partner, WAI Thinktank), David Mulder van der Vegt (partner, XML) and Steven Y.N. Chen (Architect, SHL, Shanghai).

Contributors: Academics, architects, activists…

With contributions by architects, academics, artists and activists, this powerful and timely book questions, investigates and reveals the current condition of the (Chinese) megacity and its shift from prosperity to progress. Provocative yet intelligent essays, and reflective interviews reveal a new understanding of the 21st century urban condition: globalized and gentrified, using spatial zoning, financialization, culture, and the virtual to safeguard its position on the global stage.
Its strong ties with the hinterland, meanwhile, ensure both relaxation and cheap labour. Starting in Shanghai, the book describes a transformation towards a post-colonial urban condition in which Chinese urbanism will impact cities globally. A massive photo essay by artist Eric Tabuchi underpins the argument of the book.

Morphogenesis Architects Books

Celebrating 20 years of being at the forefront of Indian Architecture, Morphogenesis becomes the first Indian practice to feature in the Images’ Master Architect Series. Launched globally at the Frankfurt Book Fair in October 2016, the firm’s first monograph, published by Images Publishing (Australia)- Morphogenesis: The Indian Perspective | The Global Context, was released in India early March 2017.

About the book
This outstanding monograph delves into an exciting selection of esteemed works by morphogenesis, one of India’s most creative architecture and design firms and a world-leader in net zero energy and sustainable design.

Another successful addition to images’ master architect series, this richly illustrated
Book combines stunning imagery with comprehensive studies outlining the firm’s strong philosophical discourse across a vast range of typologies: residential; institutional; commercial; hospitality; offices; interiors; public; and master planning. Morphogenesis reinterprets India’s architectural roots and consistently employs passive design solutions for a unique contextual language.

The morphogenesis journey is a reflection of a contemporary Indian perspective within the global context, incorporating an inspired, forward thinking vision while respectfully referencing the spirit of traditional Indian sub continental architecture in innovative forms. This is a must-have book for those looking to understand work at the vanguard of sustainable architecture.

About the Authors
With being India’s first WAF award winners and Laureates of the Singapore Institute of Architects Getz Award, along with 5 IIA Awards to their credit, Sonali and Manit Rastogi have over two decades, grown morphogenesis into one of India’s most respected architectural firms. Manit lectures extensively in Asia and has published several research papers with respect to zero energy buildings. Sonali is passionately interested in the materiality and craft in architecture, and is deeply invested in the detail of building.

“Around the world, architects are challenged to infuse new forms with the legacy of the past and the spirit of place. In an age of globalisation this has become a critical issue, especially in emerging nations that have embraced generic modernism in their race to catch up…. Morphogenesis abstracts the vernacular with no resort to mimicry, and it achieves sustainability by an intelligent use of traditional materials and techniques…” – Michael Webb, Architectural Critic and Founder, Archigram Group

The Lalit Hospitality Institute:
The Lalit Hospitality Institute - Architects Books

The architecture firm’s projects include a vast range of typologies such as residential, institutional, commercial, hospitality, offices, public space, and master planning that have been segmented into three categories: Passive Design, Resource Optimisation and Contextual Identity—with sustainability as the common theme.

Passive Design: defined as the ability to endure in local conditions and thrive in its lifecycle, the projects that are planned at the firm are maintainable in their individual ecosystems. Understanding that ‘energy resources’ at most times are considered limited or depleting, the firm’s guiding principle is ‘no is more’. Constant emphasis is put on developing the practice on an approach of ‘no energy and no water’ and ideally, no waste.

Morphogenesis Architects Book image

Resource optimization is an extremely engaging section; it is not just about valuing resources, but also discusses affordability and spatial optimization. It also features some of their most recognizable work, such as the IILM campus in Delhi—which was also part of the 2016 State of Architecture: Practices and Processes in India exhibition that took place at the National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA), Mumbai. The British School, which inspired the dust jacket, is also from this section.

Contextual Identity relates to place and physical environment. It mainly refers to the meaning and importance of the physical environment to its inhabitants and users.

Book by Richard Conner, Author, Architect & Artist

Over the last twenty years I co-founded Piercy Conner Architects (now Piercy&Company), Smoothe, The Microflat Company and Design Week Top 100 creative agency Assembly Studios.

Towards the end of 2015 after much deliberation I decided that it was time to make a significant life change. Having left Piercy Conner in late 2009 it was now time for me to move on from Assembly Studios.

This difficult decision saw me move to Thailand where the architect in me, reinvigorated, found himself refurbishing and living in a cave, and, at long last, designing for the fun of it again. This creative surge didn’t stop there.

Almost as soon as I left the UK I started writing. This journalling grew quickly into a book project focussing on Change, Creativity, Communication and Connection.

My writing continued and evolved into a series of books that explore in detail why making significant life changes amidst the unprecedented technological revolution that is taking place all around us is now so imperative.

It’s very clear to me now more than ever that to ignore or avoid the ‘High Definition Life’ and its inevitable impact on our individual and collective lives is done so at our peril.

The process of understanding and appreciating the conflicted life context and life content inherent to this incoming paradigm shift and opting out of those aspects that no longer serve us is explored in depth throughout my books.

How to handle this personal change at the same time as making it work for us rather than against us is described through simple, unique and never before seen conceptual models that are readily applicable to our day to day lives.

The Work Life Wide Open series, the first of which, ‘Break Your Busy – Set Your Creativity Free – A Disruptively Simple Approach to Better Life and Time Management’ has hit #2 in Creativity, #2 in Time Management and #3 in Business Skills on Amazon is where it all begins.

It is a short quick read that serves as a gentle yet practical introduction to some of the first key fundamental transformational concepts I developed during the last 14 months while holed up in my cave.

Right now, as I prepare for the upcoming launch of the next book in the series ‘Master The Seven Works’ you can download this first book FREE on Amazon for a limited time.

CLOG new issue – 19 Sep 2013
CLOG Architecture Books
image : CLOG

CLOG’s newest issue takes a look at science fiction in architecture, and architecture in science fiction.

Rod Serling, creator of The Twilight Zone, defined science fiction as “the improbable made possible.” The same might be said for the practice of architecture. After all, architects by trade conceive of spaces, places, and worlds that do not (yet) exist. Furthermore, the ability to make the improbable possible is held in especially high regard today and is oftentimes what defines an architectural practice as “innovative” in the first place. The feedback loop between fiction and reality remains strong today, with kilometer-high towers rising in the Middle East and new building materials emerging on a seemingly daily basis.

This new issue of CLOG includes over 50 contributions that delve into the architecture of science fiction, through speculations on the Tower of Babel as the first science fiction architecture; examinations of science fiction in the work of architects like Harvey Wiley Corbett and Le Corbusier; a look at public architecture of the 1920s and 1930s in Britain as influences on the works of George Orwell and HG Wells; NASA space colonies and post-World War II American futurism; the similarities between Adolf Loos’s Moller House and the set design of Total Recall; a comparison of the Borg Cube and the Death Star; and the evolution of technology in architecture and the changing role of the architect in a world of Google Glass and virtual reality.

In addition, CLOG editors sat down with Joseph Kosinski, director of Tron and Oblivion and alumnus of Columbia’s graduate architecture school, and Ryan Church, concept designer and art director for movies like Star Wars, Star Trek, Avatar and Transformers.

Ephemerality and Architecture – 6 Aug 2013

Ephemerality and Architecture Book

The historical concept of architecture as described by Vitruvius in De architectura identifies ‘durability’ as one of the three principles for good buildings. The term itself derives etymologically from the Ancient Greek word architékton. Here, the ambiguous word techné can be described as art, technology or tectonics, the science of structure, which implies ideas of weight, stability and durability.

The Cultural Role of Architecture – external link
Exploring the ambiguities of how we define the word ‘culture’ in our global society, this book identifies its imprint on architectural ideas. It examines the historical role of the cultural in architectural production and expression, looking at meaning and communication, tracing the formations of cultural identities.
Chapters written by international academics in history, theory and philosophy of architecture, examine how different modes of representation throughout history have drawn profound meanings from cultural practices and beliefs. These are as diverse as the designs they inspire and include religious, mythic, poetic, political, and philosophical references.

Peter Magyar Book – 28 Jan 2013
This architectural book “hosts eleven different architectural design processes, mostly, in the conceptual phase, accomplished at different times for various clients, using the same method.
It is noteworthy that the verbal text is kept at a tolerable minimum as interested persons are asked to read or interpret the drawings as they progress “as a first degree differentiation from spirit to matter.” Intuition and rational thinking are presumed to function throughout whole the process”.

‘Brick City’ Book
Brick City Book
front cover of the UK edition

Brick City is a celebration of the world’s favourite buildings and urban icons, recreated solely using LEGO bricks.

While to many, LEGO bricks are ‘just a toy’, to an ever-growing army of fans they provide a challenging and enjoyable modelling medium.

These fans, calling themselves ‘AFOLs’, or Adult Fans of LEGO, have taken it upon themselves to recreate local landmarks using just the bricks that you may find at a local store.

Brick City St Pancras Brick City Westminster Abbey Brick City London Olympic Park

LEGO models created by adult fans, however, don’t resemble those that many people created as a child. Created by masters of their medium, these fabulously detailed models may contain thousands of pieces – or perhaps just a handful. Either way, the talented artists have an intimate knowledge of every piece and colour available. Skilfully choosing the ideal piece to recreate a well-known landmark, they may create a model indistinguishable from the real thing, or evoke the spirit of a building in just a few small pieces.

In fact, landmarks and cityscapes – from the New York skyline to the Sagrada Familia, London’s St Pancras and the amazing towers of Beijing and Hong Kong – have long been a source of inspiration for LEGO builders.

In this book, LEGO artist Warren Elsmore takes us on a world tour and explores more than 30 global cities and their iconic structures.

Josep Lluis Mateo Architecture Book
This book describes that initial moment of a series of buildings, beyond their origins and their physical constitution (both issues, idea and matter, however, based on my work). Here, the objects are presented, captured by Adrià Goula, as visual forms, as compositions of planes and surfaces that form volumes and also as a dialectic of the light and shade that define spaces.
