Taschen GmbH Ando
Book SynopsisIn this essential TASCHEN introduction to Tadao Ando we explore the hybrid of tradition, modernism, and function that allows his buildings to enchant architects, designers, fashion designers, and beyond. Through key projects including private homes, churches, museums, apartment complexes, and cultural spaces, we explore a uniquely monumental yet comforting aesthetic that draws as much on the calm restraint of Japanese tradition as the compelling modernist vocabularies of Bauhaus and Le Corbusier. With featured projects in Japan, France, Italy, Spain, and the United States, we see not only Ando's global reach but also his refined sensitivity for the environs: the play of light through windows, and, in particular, the interaction of buildings with water. From the mesmerizing Church of the Light in Osaka to the luminous Punta della Dogana Contemporary Art Center in Venice, this is a radiant tour through a distinctly contemporary form as much as a timeless appeal of light, elements, and equilibrium.

Hauser & Wirth Nicolas Party
Book SynopsisThe fantastical universe of Swiss painter Nicolas Party's immersive murals comes to life in this richly illustrated monograph. The first instalment of the new Contemporary Masters series a set of monographs spotlighting some of the most influential artists of recent years this sumptuously produced publication, quarter-bound in linen, focuses on the work of celebrated Swiss painter Nicolas Party. His oeuvre ranges from the intimate to the gigantic, spanning from paintings, pietra dura, ceramics, and sculptures to the installations and public murals that are this monograph's focus. Often commissioned in the context of institutional exhibitions, Party's mural works are usually removed when the associated show comes to a close. The extensive documentation featured in the book offer a way of revisiting and experiencing these ephemeral works anew, with a selection of gatefolds providing intimate access to the artist's brightly hued, uncanny universe of fantastical landscapes, characters, and motifs.

JOVIS Verlag Future Public Spaces: Urban Design in Times of
Book SynopsisWhat is required to renew and articulate public spaces? The need for, and demands of, public spaces are highly specific to the local spatial and social conditions under which people live. Action at neighborhood level is crucial, and must involve interacting and co-creating with residents to discover their needs. At the start of the pandemic, superwien was commissioned to develop innovative designs for urban public spaces in three different cities: Dhaka (Bangladesh), Maputo (Mozambique), and Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic). The main objective of this applied research was to strengthen the capacity of local governments to undertake participatory urban design processes. This book calls upon architects and urbanists to develop place-based solutions in challenging circumstances.

DruckVerlag Kettler Pneumopteria
Book SynopsisThis publication is devoted to an academic description of the pneumopteria, a species which is considered extinct as a result of human action. Pneumopteria are also referred to as aerial creatures, cloud whales or cloud sponges, and occasionally, in scientific language, as pneumospongia. Often, in older treatises, they have been termed celestial leviathans. These gigantic, cloud-like creatures, which seem to float in the air without movement or stimulation, can reach several hundred metres in size. They were frequently observed and described, especially in historical times. With his fictional research on actual or imaginary persons, situations, and objects, Roland Boden provides the first thorough introduction to the nature, appearance, and behaviour of pneumopteria. He elaborates on aspects of the history of the exploration, specification, and classification of the species. In his treatise, Boden presents photographs, reproductions, prints, reconstructive drawings, and computer-generated images, combining numerous real scientific and historical facts with completely fictitious elements to create a parallel reality that cleverly questions contemporary perceptual processes. Text in English and German.
