JOVIS Verlag „Berlin kommt wieder“: Die Architekten Paul
Book SynopsisZwei Architekten sind in den Publikationen zum Wiederaufbau (West-)Berlins nach 1945 bisher wenig gewürdigt worden, dabei haben sie dessen stadträumlichen Charakter nachhaltig geprägt: Paul Schwebes und Hans Schoszberger, die ab 1956 in einer Bürogemeinschaft zusammengearbeitet haben. Einige ihrer Bauten repräsentieren bis heute die City West und prägen zwischen Kurfürstendamm und Tauentzienstraße, Ernst-Reuter-Platz und Breitscheidplatz, Budapester Straße und in anderen Bezirken das urbane Flair der Stadt. Der vorliegende Band rekonstruiert über 160 Projekte aus den Vor- und Nachkriegsjahren, die wesentlich dem tertiären Sektor und seltener dem Wohnbau angehörten. Dabei werden auch die politisch-ökonomischen Voraussetzungen deutlich, die diese Architektur nach 1945 zu Symbolen einer neuen Zeit und eines offenen Gesellschaftsbildes werden ließen. Zentrales Kapitel der (West-)Berliner Architekturgeschichte nach 1945 Umfangreicher Werkkatalog der Bürogemeinschaft Paul Schwebes und Hans Schoszberger Ausführliche Bilddokumentation mit bislang unveröffentlichtem Bildmaterial

JOVIS Verlag Convivial Ground: Stories from Collaborative
Book SynopsisWe are all improvising. We are all making decisions. And we are all watching each other improvise. Together, we are improvising. Decisions become shared ones. We will have built this city together. Convivial Ground invites the reader to discover the work of the transdisciplinary European design-build network Constructlab piece by piece. Taking Ivan Illich’s understanding of conviviality as departure point, the essays, conversations, stories, and images in the book reflect on the specificities of collaborative practices as situated experiments, as well as on their possible roles in the creation of convivial societies. Exploring contemporary conditions of togetherness, learning, and working, the book is not a "how-to" guide, but an invitation to cooperatively write new convivial narratives.

Starke Bilder veranschaulichen, wie es gelingen kann, Gemeinwohl zu bauen – und welche Chance für die Gesellschaft darin liegt. Eine Anregung zum Nachahmen.

JOVIS Verlag Der Kornversuchsspeicher in Berlin
Book SynopsisDer 1897/98 gebaute und 1910 im Stil der Frühmoderne erweiterte Kornversuchsspeicher war zunächst ein Experimentalbauwerk für die optimale Lagerung von Getreide. Der konzeptionell ambitionierte Bau sollte Erkenntnisse für Speicherarchitekturen im ganzen Deutschen Reich liefern. Nach dem Ende der wissenschaftlichen Nutzung diente er über Jahrzehnte Speditionen als Lager, wurde von der Berliner Partyszene entdeckt und stand schließlich leer. Seit dem spektakulären Umbau von AFF Architekten zu einer Mischnutzung aus Büros, Galerie und Gastronomie ist der denkmalgeschützte Speicher eine Attraktion im Entwicklungsgebiet Europacity gegenüber dem Berliner Hauptbahnhof.Der Berliner Fotograf Harf Zimmermann, Mitbegründer der international bekannten Agentur Ostkreuz, hat die Transformation über einen Zeitraum von fünf Jahren mit seiner analogen Großformatkamera begleitet und damit eine einzigartige Langzeitdokumentation zur jüngsten Geschichte des ikonischen Baus geschaffen.

JOVIS Verlag Best HighRises 202425
Book SynopsisZweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) / Bilingual edition (English/German) Während die meisten Hochhäuser nach wie vor in China und den USA gebaut werden, lassen sich aktuell Australien und insbesondere Singapur als Hotspots für Hochhausarchitektur ausmachen. Weiterhin bestätigt sich die Tendenz zu mischgenutzten Hochhäusern, die sich bereits seit 2014 immer wieder unter den Finalisten des Internationalen Hochhaus Preises befinden. Einstige Besonderheiten wie flächendeckende Begrünungen oder der Bau von Hochhausclustern gehören mittlerweile längst zum Standard. Bedingt durch den Mangel an geeigneten Bauflächen sowie wachsendem Umweltbewusstsein rückt der Gebäudebestand beim Hochhausbau vermehrt in den Fokus. Best High-Rises 2024/25 präsentiert 32 der spannendsten kürzlich fertiggestellten Hochhausprojekte, die Nachhaltigkeit, äußere Form und innere Raumqualitäten sowie soziale Aspekte zu einem vorbildlichen Entwurf verbinden und so beispielhaft in die Zukunft weisen.

Loft Publications Modular Homes
Book SynopsisThis book showcases the creations of the Modular Projects company (based in Alicante, Spain) which launched a state-of-the-art modular architecture product on the market in 2009, based on modular industrialised construction with a timber-frame structure for private homes, warehouses, extension and penthouses. This type of construction, common in the USA and many northern European countries, allows construction in just 120 days and at a much lower cost than the traditional brick construction system and with unbeatable energy efficiency and finishes worthy of a high-end home. With more than 190 homes completed so far in Spain, England, France and Portugal, these modular constructions are faster and simpler to build (which allows for a significant reduction in costs), and are made with safe, ecological and at the same time flexible and functional materials (including natural stone) featuring thermal and acoustic performance far superior to traditional construction.

Skira Federico Delrosso Architects: Pushing the
Book SynopsisThe works by the architect and designer Federico Delrosso (1964) constantly reflect a passing of the torch between past and present that, far from being a nostalgic or derivative operation, makes everything topical. His career as a designer clearly reflects the teaching of modernists – especially Gio Ponti, Ernesto Nathan Rogers and Le Corbusier, who envisaged the figure of the architect as a designer of things ranging from “the spoon to the city”, and who constantly stressed the idea of the exploration of space, later taken up by Richard Meier. This first monograph completes the cycle of architectural plans for private and commercial buildings, interior décor and design projects Delrosso has created over the past twenty years.

Skira Eric Owen Moss: The Uncertainty of Doing
Book SynopsisA richly-illustrated monograph on recent works of the award-winning architect. The work of Eric Owen Moss is an intriguing mix between a sort of Los Angeles critical regionalism (most of his production is in Culver City - Los Angeles) and the highest level of formal and spatial experimentation. Considered one of the most interesting and innovative North American architects today, he is best known for reinventing spaces for commercial uses and performing arts facilities, breathing new life into a marginal area in the celebrated sequence of buildings in Culver City's Hayden Tract. Over the last decade Eric Owen Moss has built his critical fortune producing a series of masterpieces which represent one of the most advanced elaborations of the de-constructivist theories of the 1990s. Paola Giaconia essay introduces the themes of Moss's work including geometry and manipulation, typological and spatial features, wall as design element and uncertainty of the contemporary condition. The book features an array of his works in over 250 illustrations including the Wedgewood Holly Complex, the Beehive and the Box. Also included is an interview with the architect and a bio-bibliography. Eric Owen Moss opened his office in Los Angeles in 1973. In addition to practicing, he has held professorial chairs at Yale, Harvard, and appointments in Copenhagen and Vienna, in addition to Sci-Arc, where he is on the Board of Directors. He has received numerous awards for his work, including the Award in Architecture from the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1999, and the Gold Metal from the Los Angeles Chapter of the American Institute of Architects in 2001. His work has been widely exhibited, most recently in the Russian Pavilion at the 2002 Venice Biennale.

Mondadori Electa Fernando Romero: FR-EE Architecture
Book SynopsisIn the past few years, Mexico has brought to light a new generation of architects whose extraordinary vision and productivity has positioned the country among the most creative design cultures of the world. Under his own firm FR-EE, since 2000 Fernando Romero has designed and created a number of projects which represent a new vision of Mexican and world architecture. Romero s approach to architecture is innovative and an inspirational tool for empowering future generations. The volume will focus on three themes that intertwine throughout the content of the book. On-site photographs (mainly aerial views) highlight the different places where FR-EE works, from urban centers to the desert. The location is what drives FR-EE s creative work, while the practice strives to investigate the dynamic forces of each site and client. Inspirational photographs give the reader a vision of how Romero s perspective shifts between different focuses of references, and reimagines them in new symbolic visions of the world (from monuments to colors, from natural elements to animals). The images include renderings, photographs, diagrams, plans, and sections. The projects are presented in situ and through architectural drawings, so as to explain the projects concepts and contents.

Mondadori Electa Arthur Casas: Architecture
Book SynopsisArthur Casas has been one of the most prolic and innovative architects in Brazil since the late 1980s. His projects, the work of studios in both Sao Paulo and New York, can be seen in many of the world s capitals, including Paris, Tokyo, London, and Lisbon. Studio Arthur Casas has completed more than 500 projects in different areas, including residential and commercial architecture, public competitions, and interior and product design, in both Brazil and abroad. The firm has gained recognition over the years and received numerous national and international honours such as a World Architecture Festival Award 2015 for the Brazilian Pavilion at the Milan Expo. Born and raised in Sao Paulo, Casas is strongly influenced by the city s cosmopolitan spirit, something that inspires him to stay connected with the design community around the world. This ethos marks all of Casas s work, which is defined by a very eclectic and ever-changing creativity. Casas strongly believes that architecture and interior design are inextricably related: he visualizes and embraces the spaces he designs on the condition of including the furniture that was created or chosen for them. Being a craftsman himself, he aims to create simple designs freed from all unnecessary details, imbued with artisanal qualities. The book features works by internationally acclaimed photographers Filippo Bamberghi, Fernando Guerra, winner of the Architectural Photographer of the Year 2015, and Mauro Restie.

Having adopted a global perspective from an early age but firmly rooted in her heritage throughout her career, she is uniquely positioned to directly cultivate the kind of best practice African contemporary architecture that leverages ancestral knowledge and methods from within the continent itself. Adenowo's notion of neo-heritage envisions a new cultural confidence emerging in Africa that can contribute to international solutions for sustainability, urban planning, and environmental and residential design.Trade Review"Star architect Olajumoke Adenowo explores the role African design plays in the field of architecture globally in her debut book, Neo Heritage.
