The future of the architectural profession and its exciting possibilities are being tested there now. This new book comprises essays reflecting visits to countries in the region and describing manifold aspects, interviews with distinguished personalities, along with a selection of paradigmatic projects.

ArchiTangle GmbH Arvo Pärt Centre & Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos: A
Book SynopsisThe book embodies a bridge between the dimensions of music, architecture and landscape: the music of Arvo Pärt with the architecture of Fuensanta Nieto and Enrique Sobejano in the surrounding pine forest landscape in Laulasmaa, Estonia, to form one infused entity. This book is many books. The first takes the reader on a journey throughout the spaces within the Arvo Pärt Centre. The second is a book of words. It reveals quotations from Arvo Pärt’s musical diaries. The third book embraces us with score elements turning into architecture elements. The fourth book is an architecture sketchbook. It contains a graphical description of the whole project from an architectural view. Plans, sections, elevations, structural schemes of the landscape project, the main building, and the tower and the chapel show technical details and proportions of the spaces. Finally, the fifth book provides a deeper view on the synthesis of the arts through the words of five authors: Michael Pärt, Fuensanta Nieto & Enrique Sobejano, Kristina Kõrver, Nikita Andrejev and Covadonga Blasco Veganzones. It’s beautiful and minimalistic design, specially finished with the architectural drawings on integrated transparent paper, make this book a truly unique object both in terms of content and manufactured book production.Trade ReviewThe ideal audience would have already visited the Arvo Part Centre, but for me, who has never set foot on Estonian soil, the book is a strong invitation to see the building in person, hear Part's music fill its spaces, and take in the beautiful landscape beyond the roofscape.--John Hill One of the project categories -- or filters -- on the website of Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos is roofscape (the others are light, material, landscape, geometry, and history). One of the eight projects in that category is the Arvo Part Centre in Laulasmaa, Estonia, the subject of a new book. The building shares formal similarities with some of the other roofscapes, namely the piercing lightwells of the earlier Joanneumsviertel in Graz, Austria, and the Contemporary Art Center in Cordoba, Spain. As depicted in the aerial on the cover of the new book-length case study, the cuts in the roof are the Arvo Part Centre's most striking aspect, at least outside of the heavily wooded site near Lahepere Bay. No building is just its form, its architecture. Accordingly, this book is presented as five books in one: a book of photographs, a book of draft and scores of composer Arvo Part's In Principio, a book of quotes, a book of architectural drawings, and a book of essays. Of course, A Common Denominator is a single bound book (only a booklet with German and Spanish translations of the text is separate), but the design and layout of its 212 large-format pages draws attention to the multiplicity of its contents and gives the five-book book a noticeable rhythm, as in the spreads below. The book starts simply with a quote from Part: I could compare my music to white light which contains all colors. Only a prism can divide the colors and make them appear; this prism could be the spirit of the listener. Empty musical staffs are on the following page, next to four sheets of vellum with dots, lines, and other drawings that start to express the building devoted to the Estonian composer. The drawings on these sheets, as visible in the first spread below, overlay the staffs and express an interaction of music and architecture. These two books -- of In Principio and of architectural drawings -- are found six more times in the book, situated between the photographs, quotes, and essays of the other books. Just as the initial quote by Part puts great weight on the spirit of the listener, the short essays, un-captioned photos, and layering of drawings across musical notation do the same, but for the reader. This is not a building monograph that tries to explain everything. Rather it leisurely presents the building in words and images, inviting the reader to get from it what they put into it. The ideal audience would have already visited the Arvo Part Centre, but for me, who has never set foot on Estonian soil, the book is a strong invitation to see the building in person, hear Part's music fill its spaces, and take in the beautiful landscape beyond the roofscape.--John Hill "https: //archidose.blogspot.com/2021/02/arvo-part-centre-nieto-sobejano.html"

ArchiTangle GmbH Working in Mumbai: RMA Architects
Book SynopsisWorking in Mumbai is a critical reflection on thirty years of the practice of RMA Architects. Rahul Mehrotra weaves a narrative to connect his multiple engagements in architectural practice, including teaching, research, documenting, writing and exhibiting since the establishment of the practice in 1990. The book is structured around the subjects of interior architecture, critical conservation, and work and living spaces that straddle the binaries of the global and the local as well as the rural and the urban. While the book is a portfolio of the selected works of RMA Architects, the projects are curated so as to unravel and clarify the challenges faced by architects in India and in several parts of the “majority” world where issues related to rapid urbanization and the impacts of global capital are among the many that dispute conventional models of practice. Working in Mumbai is used emblematically to interrogate the notion of context and understand how the practice evolved through its association with the city of Bombay/Mumbai.Trade Review'Working in Mumbai' is one of the most important books in recent times, with commentary on our cities complex nature through the lens of RMA's work. It deserves a special mention for anyone who is navigating the complexities of designing our built environment. This is indeed not a monograph.--Design City Team

ArchiTangle GmbH Architecture of Coexistence: Building Pluralism
Book SynopsisArchitecture of Coexistence: Building Pluralism This book investigates how architecture can shape an open-minded and inclusive society, highlighting three internationally renowned projects: the White Mosque in Visoko, Bosnia-Herzegovina (1980); the Islamic Cemetery Altach in Altach, Austria (2012); and the Superkilen public park in Copenhagen, Denmark (2012). Scholarly essays across various disciplines, along with interviews with the architects and users of these projects, provide intriguing insights into architecture’s ability to bridge cultural differences. Soliciting a wide array of questions about migration, transculturalism, visibility, inclusion, and exclusion, the book sheds light on the long-term social processes generated between architectural form and its users. Architecture of Coexistence offers a truly interdisciplinary perspective on a very timely subject: “Building pluralism” means designing for a respectful inclusion of different cultural needs, practices, and traditions. With contributions by Azra Akšamija, Mohammad al-Asad, Ali S. Asani, Simon Burtscher-Matis, Amila Buturović, Farrokh Derakhshani, Robert Fabach, Eva Grabherr, Amra Hadžimuhamedović, Tina Gudrun Jensen, Jennifer Mack, Nasser Rabbat, Barbara Steiner, Helen Walasek and Wolfgang Welsch. Photo essays by Velibor Božović, Cemal Emden, Jesper Lambaek, and Nikolaus Walter.Trade ReviewThe approach to this volume has turned out an ambitious, grandiose, polyphonic, clever, and entertaining book." -Florian Heilmeyer, Baunetzmedia

Karolinum,Nakladatelstvi Univerzity Karlovy,Czech Republic Antonin Raymond in Japan 19481976
Book SynopsisA study of the Raymond architectural studio's work to help rebuild Japan after WWII. Antonín Raymond in Japan examines the life and work of Noémi (18891980) and Antonín Raymond (18881976) and other architects within their firm tasked with rebuilding Japan after World War II. The recorded recollections of seven members of the Japanese Raymond studio depict the personalities of the Raymonds, comment on their work, and describe relationships with elite clients. Some of the almost two hundred illustrations in the book are published here for the first time, as little research has previously been conducted into Noémi Raymond's work until now. The Reader's Digest building in Tokyo, the Gunma Prefecture Music Center, and the Czechoslovak Embassy in Tokyo are discussed in detail. The book opens with Helena Capková's study of the pre-war activities of Raymond's company, with a focus on maintaining contacts during the Second World War. It closes with Irena Veverková's text about Antonín Raymond's contacts with Czechoslovakia after 1945.
