Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Trees have been deliberately connected with houses since they were introduced as a prominent part of architectural design. The relationships of contiguity between houses and trees have existed since ancient times. However, at the end of the 19th century those links became explicit in the design process, as the house emerged as one of the fundamental architectural programs, and as the result of an increasing sensibility towards environmental aspects and the landscape. The first part of this publication is to present a collection of exemplary five houses that evinced explicit relationships with pre-existing trees. The five twentieth century projects are: La Casa (B. Rudofsky, 1969), Cottage Caesar (M. Breuer, 1951), Ville La Roche (Le Corbusier & P. Jeanneret, 1923), Villa Pepa (J. Navarro Baldeweg, 1994) and Hexenhaus (A. & P. Smithson, 1984-2002). The second part of the book contributes three theoretical concerns for the contemporary project, those ones which are established in the process, with respect to time, place and outdoor domesticity in modern western housing. One of these theoretical contributions establishes that any house located on a site finds a significant place in conjunction with the preexisting trees. The second contribution describes the effects in terms of time, in addition to spatial considerations, which trees can contribute to the architectural project. Finally, the establishment of these connections between architecture and trees enlarges the idea of the house: the tree serves to draw the surrounding environment into the house and, as a result, becomes an intrinsic part of the house itself.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - New approaches to nature, landscape, and territory were key in the jury's and architect's architecture discussions during the second cycle of the MCHAP prize. This book puts together the finalist projects with a selection of articles, dialogues and visual essays, providing a particular set of lenses with which to look at the newest architecture of the Americas.The Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize (MCHAP), directed by Dirk Denison from within the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT), promotes an academic award that is given to the best architecture built in the American continent during a specific period. "MCHAP The Americas 2, Territory & Expeditions," is inspired on the discussions held during the second cycle of the prize, which took place in 2016. Based on the selection of the finalist projectsWeekend House by SPBR, New Campus for the UTEC by Grafton Architects, Pachacamac Museum by Llosa Cortegana Architects, Tower 41 by Alberto Kalach, Star Apartmens by Michael Maltzan Architecture, and Grace Farms by SANAA, the jury conversations and "discoveries" were very much conditioned by the ideas of nature and its intimate relation to architecture and landscape.This book is part a reader, part a catalogue, part a visual essay/research on these matters. The texts and projects are in themselves contributions to the field as they show new understandings about the relationship between architecture and its environment as well as singularities and genealogies of the most prominent architectures of the Americas.With Contributions of Stan Allen, Wiel Arets, Pedro Aparicio & Juliana Ramírez, Barry Bergdoll, Ila Berman, Sol Camacho, Canary Project, Beatriz Colomina, Juan Pablo Corvalán, Jean Pierre Crousse, Dirk Denison, Uriel Fogué, Mariano Gomez Luque & Daniel Ibañez, Rodrigo Kommers Wender, Sanford Kwinter, Ciro Najle & Lluís Ortega, Isabella Moretti, Jean-Luc Nancy, Todd Palmer, Paul Preissner, Enrique Ramírez, Ana Raskovsky, Patricio del Real, Graciela Silvestri, Jeannette Sordi, Magdalena Tagliabue, Mason White (texts).

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - OAB draws on the collaborative nature of the Carlos Ferrater previous studio, incorporating new ways of understanding the contributions of each team member to generate richer and more varied, prepared and flexible projects. The creation of this new platform attempts to address the challenges that contemporary architecture has raised in intellectual, social, technological, and environmental spheres.The contents are organized as a collection of chapters that turn the spotlight on both projects and recently built works. These convey a willingness to work in different scenarios, expanding and enriching the range of proposals in the pursuit of new avenues of formal expression. The book covers the theoretical aspects of each project, focusing on innovation, research, and the application of new technologies. At the same time, as we explore each project's development, emphasis is placed upon context, the building's objectives, and the social roots of the architect's work.…
