Kapon Editions I. Vikelas: Bilingual edition, Greek/English
Book SynopsisThis volume presents architectural syntheses distinctive of the oeuvre of architect Ioannis Vikelas. The selection is based on chronological rather than thematic criteria, so giving a diachronic picture of Vikelas' work and enabling the reader to follow the changes occurring in the design and the construction of architectural projects over time. In the course of his fifty-year career (1959-2009) Vikelas has prepared studies for a large number of buildings of various architectural types and supervised their construction. The book presents urban ensembles, residential complexes, villas, office blocks, high-rise buildings, government ministries, town halls, libraries, museums, educational foundations, hospitals, industrial buildings, churches, exhibition pavilions, shops and department stores, banks, malls, cinemas, sports facilities, hotels, marinas, airports, churches, monumental tombs, public parks and squares. The concise description of each building, accompanied by plans and certain details regarding its function, is complemented by abundant photographs. Greek and English bilingual. 600 illus., mainly colour.Table of ContentsΠρόλογος Άγγελος Δεληβορριάς Διευθυντής Μουσείου Μπενάκη Preface Aggelos Delivorrias Director of Benaki Museum Η αρχιτεκτονική των επιρροών και η κοινωνική λειτουργία Αντρέας Γιακουμακάτος, Καθηγητής Ιστορίας, Κριτικής Ανάλυσης και Θεωρίας της Αρχιτεκτονικής, Τμήμα Αρχιτεκτόνων – Αριστοτέλειο Πανεπιστήμιο Θεσσαλονίκης Influence architecture and social function Prof. Arch.

Book SynopsisA Clear View is the first book published by Washington, DC–based architect Suzane Reatig, FAIA. Exploring new interpretations of small-scale urban infill housing, it addresses the changing needs and the real demands of city dwellers. Filling the void in the urban puzzle, in narrow and constrained sites, all of Reatig’s new structures ensure comfortable and safe spaces. • The majority of the work in this book is located in one neighborhood of Washington, DC, Shaw, demonstrating the powerful effect architecture can have on transforming and reviving a neighborhood. Through the use of simple materials and innovative clear design, Reatig reveals how community can be achieved among inhabitants without giving up privacy or independence. All projects share the same spirit; they are imaginative, rigorous, and give priority and value to their inhabitants and enhance their quality of life. Each project has its own unmistakable identity.

Oscar Riera Ojeda Publishers Limited Figures: Essays on Contemporary Architecture
Book SynopsisThe essays consider the contemporary architectural scene from a variety of perspectives in theory and practice. They include seminal pieces that framed important debates in the field, such as the introduction to the exhibition catalogue Monolithic Architecture, as well as observations on buildings and practices from around the world, from Santiago, to Beirut and Beijing. Together, the polemical provocations and interpretive insights construct a critical panorama of a global architectural landscape in rapid transformation since the 1990s. • The book is divided into there parts. “Polemics” addresses broad issues and trends with essays that claim a position in current debates. “Agents” examines the oeuvres of particular architects, with pieces that situate their work in relation to such debates. “Artifacts” takes on single buildings, instances where ideas are sedimented into form to situate current architectural discussions in concrete objects.

Oscar Riera Ojeda Publishers Limited eastwest: Nabil Gholam Architects
Book SynopsisSet against the backdrop of global architectural production, the work of the Lebanese architect Nabil Gholam and his associates defies easy classification. On the one hand it can be regarded as a competent, modern, global practice for which the legendary SOM is still a model. On the other, NGA are capable of creating works that possess a uniquely grounded, local character at a variety of scales, from one-off luxury villas to the occasional monumental project at an urban scale, as in their entry for the Jabal Omar International Design Competition, planned for Mecca in Saudi Arabia at the turn of the millennium. It is paradoxical that this prosperous, sophisticated practice should be located in what is still, despite its prosperity, the unstable and often violent environment of Beirut.

Oscar Riera Ojeda Publishers Limited The Landscape Architecture of Paul Sangha
Book SynopsisThe Landscape Architecture of Paul Sangha brings landscape to the foreground of daily life—as lifestyle, recreation, aesthetic pleasure—challenging notions of what one can gain from their outdoor surroundings. Sensuous, playful, and provocative, designs by Paul Sangha are meditations on the human relationship with landscape. Drawing on an encyclopedic knowledge of materials and botanical species as well as a deep unders- tanding of clients’ habits and desires, works by Paul Sangha are robust systems for living.• The book presents ten residential projects by the award-winning Vancouver-based firm. The featured projects demonstrate the practice’s expertise in orchestrating powerful, unique landscapes with spatial harmony, tactful grade changes, and vibrant plant life. An urban garden for a compact lot gracefully weaves the inside and outside to expand the space of both; a series of programmed terraces creates a staircase gradually descending from the residence to the wilds; and a cantilevered platform is an invitation into the canopy of an old-growth forest.• The Landscape Architecture of Paul Sangha documents the ins- piration, process, and poetry of Paul Sangha’s designs. Coupled with text that vividly describes the details and design concepts, photographer Nic Lehoux sensitively captures each project, narrating through image the spellbinding experience of discovering gardens. This book reveals the inner-workings of a dynamic practice built on the notion that man can write himself in the land, and land can write itself in the man.

Oscar Riera Ojeda Publishers Limited WOW: Experiential Design for a Changing World
Book SynopsisExperiential Design for a Changing World is the first major monograph for this multidisciplinary design practice, WOW. The title alludes to two key aspects of their practice: first, the focus on multi-sensory experiences; and second, the complexity and dynamism of working in a rapidly developing region. These themes are explored through in-depth presentation of twelve completed projects, including six private homes and six hotels. In addition to rich photography, drawings, and in-progress sketches, the book will offer behind-the-scenes peeks into the construction of the projects in various stages. • Also featured is an in-depth interview with the two founding partners of the WOW, Maria Warner Wong and Wong Chiu Man, as well as essays by several prominent architects, interior designers and engineers. Wong and Man discuss the challenges and opportunities of working in a diverse and highlyevolving region, from the developing regions of India and Africa to the more advanced urban context of Singapore and Dubai. Regardless of the economic context and locally available construction methods, the mission for each and every project is to create a rich spatial experience that is rooted in the culture, memory, and place.

Oscar Riera Ojeda Publishers Limited Surfaced: The Formation of Twisted Structures The
Book SynopsisArchitectural structures create the environment in which they are situated, while at the same time describing that environment. Complex forms, such as the twist, offer the architect a tool to shape an environment with a visible smoothness that disguises the space’s complexity and precision. But twisted structures present a double-challenge for architects and builders. To create such structures, it is necessary not only to design them, but to design the method of constructing them. For some geometries, it is enough to take a conventional building method, or an already extant tool and modify it slightly. But more often than not, completely new tools and methods need to be figured out. This process of re-engineering, rethinking and reimagining leads to an increasing and progressively more intimate awareness of material, texture and detail. This book charts the journey of SYSTEMarchitects from the folded geometries of the seminal BURST house exhibited at MOMA’s renowned 2008 show to the curves, tucks and twisted spaces that followed. It records five years of experimentation with pre-fabricated and iterative techniques, low cost materials and algorithmic design all in service of projects made for everyday use. It examines the role of parametric design in the domestic sphere, and It explores twisted volumes, from large scale structures to the very surface of the twist itself, offering a whole new animated direction for architecture.

Oscar Riera Ojeda Publishers Limited On the Tarmac: Rules, line-work, shadows and
Book SynopsisTo most people, tarmac markings are hieroglyphics writ large: an obscure language that greets us as we glide down toward the earth. It is a code both intimately familiar and radically alien. On the Tarmac reconceives this code. Designer Dennis Pieprz, who spends countless hours taxiing to distant terminals as part of his work, documented his travels, armed with boundless curiosity and an iPhone. As if collecting postcards along his journey, Pieprz framed images not to convey instructions but to capture vivid patterns and surprising juxtapositions, rigorous geometry and playful shadows. By freeing the tarmac from utility, Pieprz’s photos allow new meanings to emerge, exploring poetry of line work and the ballet of human activity. They are about catching glimpses of the hyper-local amid relentless globalization. They are about slowing the pace and paying attention. Most of all, they are about seeking the sublime in the everyday.

Book SynopsisThe work of Fabian Llonch and Gisela Vidalle – presented here in an eye –opening survey– is marvelous for its imaginative seamlessness, and the way in which the artist’s truth always shines through the circumstances of its articulation. Here is architecture of inseparable form and thought. The thirteen projects in this book are filled with the fervor and energy of an architect who also teaches young architects. Fabian Llonch and Gisela Vidalle are part of a small group of architects who understand the importance of the relationship between teaching and practice, its place at that intricate and indefinable nexus of architecture and its theory in which architecture schools are hothouses for the incubation of ideas in architecture and design.

Oscar Riera Ojeda Publishers Limited The Built Idea: Alberto Campo Baeza
Book Synopsis“Architects reveal the keys to Architecture in their drawings, their floor plans, sections and also in their writings. It is important to appreciate the concise texts of Mies Van der Rohe or the more passionate expressions of Le Corbusier. And that is how I would like these texts, published here today, to be understood.” Alberto Campo Baeza (born Valladolid, Spain, 1946) is one of the most important architects of the modern period. The Built Idea presents a series of seminal texts in which he conveys his most deeply-held architectural ideas and convictions, exploring and explaining his foundational influences and subjects such as the importance of light, the work of his contemporaries, and the future of architecture, as well as accounts of his own work and personal anecdotes from a rich and successful life in architecture. “To use words that express one’s intentions clearly is not just a convenience for architects. One wants to let people know the meaning behind the things that are being made. My aim in publishing these texts is precisely that.” This book also includes a photographic documentation of Campo Baeza’s greatest works along with architectural sketches, plans and models to provide a privileged insight into one of the greatest architectural minds working today. “And the reasoning on which one bases one’s work in their attempt at Architecture is what is going to be reflected here in these texts, some of it consciously, some unconsciously. Realizing the ideas expressed in these words in built works is of course the best proof that the ideas are valid and the words true.”
