- The Artistic Process in Architecture
468,95 kr. This evocative and self-reflective book opens broader and pertinent questions about the physical nature of the architectural design process that will resonate with many of us who are prepared to work sympathetically with material. It is the conscious introduction of artistic experimentation in the architects material practice that can gradually enable intimacy, complexity and the shaping of novelty, as Bertram argues. A loving and rigorous attention to making opens exciting spatial questions and prompts´problem invention´. Bertram helps us to understand this process by linking architecture with philosophy, science and art. This book challenges established pedagogical profile within the creative fields of art and architecture. Through an array of unique projects, each accompanied by a very reflective text, the book invites the reader into the creative universe of a search that is at the same time research. It makes an important contribution to the contemporary discussion regarding artistic research as it focuses upon the complexity of the creative act itself. The nature of this search entails a specific form of openness, a receptiveness that cannot be measured as the process unfolds. In order to contribute, one must follow an individual path, since it is in the making that one invents a problem.

- Transitions Through Five Stages of Grief
238,95 kr. Koolhaas pronounced urbanism dead in 1995. Since then, urban design has struggled to come to terms with this and other losses including environmental stability, affordable housing, design control, and urban amenity. This book explores urban design paradigms transitioning through a misappropriation of Kübler-Ross' "five stages of grief" - from pro-sprawl 'denial', NIMBY 'anger', revisionist new urbanist 'bargaining', 'depressed' starchitects, through to an optimistic manifesto of 'acceptance'.

208,95 kr. Set amidst the experimental ecology of practices that supports feminist thinking and doing in architecture, this small book outlines an instruction guide that presents six provocative steps toward the invention of productive concept-tools. It invites readers to explore creative and messy methodologies that combine an aesthetics with a practical ethics.

- Temporal Spatial Practices
308,95 kr. Expanded Architecture - Temporal Spatial Practises is devoted to Australian architectural icons of modernism by Harry Seidler, casting current artistic perspectives on Bauhaus ideas and its advocates. Expanded Architecture comprises more than 20 international architects and artists who explore diverse notions of an expanded architecture through spatio-temporal installations, performances, and sound projects. The projects are contextualised in three buildings in Sydney designed by Harry Seidler, who studied under Walter Gropius at Harvard University. Following the Bauhaus tradition, Seidler is also well known for his extensive collaborations with artists such as Josef Albers, Alexander Calder, Frank Stella, Lin Utzon, and Sol LeWitt. Expanded Architecture presents an account of how Seidler's buildings have been used as a charged setting for a series of experimental encounters, here combined with a collection of essays by contemporary thinkers and critics with the aim of reflecting on new approaches in the relation between art and architecture. Expanded Architecture is published in cooperation with Bauhaus Dessau as Bauhaus Edition 47

- A Situation Constructed from Loose and Overlapping Social and Architectural Aggregates
458,95 kr. The book entitled 'A Situation Constructed from Loose and Overlapping Social and Architectural Aggregates', by Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample from MOS Architects (NY) is currently exhibited in the US pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2016. Cities structure our lives, resources, interactions, and identities. From Sebastiano Serlio to Rem Koolhaas, architects have used the metaphor of theater, presenting the city as stage, as comic sets for comic acts, as a delirious city for delirious subjects, generic city for generic subjects, and so on. Today, however, we are social anywhere, actors on- and offstage. So what happens when the city no longer structures us, or when basic urban elements - streets, buildings, facades, and addresses - have been augmented, superimposed, and untethered by or replaced through technology? 'A Situation Constructed from Loose and Overlapping Social and Architectural Aggregates' is a playful investigation into urban alternatives. Employing neither the holistic worldview of mapping nor the isolated islands of architectural typology, MOS imagines a proposal where the city is everywhere... Includes essays by Jack Self, Co-Curator of the British Pavilion, 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale; T. Conrad Therrien, Curator of Architecture and Digital Initiatives, Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and Museum; and Ana Miljački, critic, curator, and Associate Professor of Architecture, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

- Interior Surface and Feminist Actions
468,95 kr. Performing Matter inquires about the material constitution of interiors as sites of political protest and ethical exchange. By forwarding feminist agency and a concern for the emancipation of interiors and their surfaces, this work oscillates between practical aspects of building construction, material properties, making processes, and embodied knowledge concerning interior materiality and spatiality.

- What Matters - Who Cares - How
458,95 kr. Perspectives on Architectural Design Research is a collection of short essays, projects and edited transcripts that offers current perspectives on design research in architecture and aligned disciplines. Contributors include international figures Donald L. Bates, Richard Blythe, Nat Chard, Murray Fraser, Dorita Hannah, Jonathan Hill and Vivian Mitsogianni. What emerges from the multiple perspectives is that contemporary design research - transdisciplinary, multi-scalar and concerning place, people, space and time - provides a collective and subtle mechanism that is propositional and transformative. The shared optimism of the contributors is that this propositional mode of research can be of catalytic value for contemporary culture and society.
