Encounters and positions : architecture in Japan
Das Buch gibt einen Überblick über die aktuelle japanische Architektur, ihre Gestaltungskonzepte sowie ihre vielfältigen Bezüge. Dreizehn Architekten stellen in Interviews und anhand exemplarischer Entwürfe ihre Entwurfsmethodologien vor und geben Einblicke in die Grundlagen und Hintergründe ihres Schaffens; darunter junge Architekten, die aktuell international Bekanntheit erlangt haben, Architekten, die innerhalb der japanischen Architektur eigenständige Haltungen vertreten, sowie die Pritzkerpreisträger Toyo Ito und Fumihiko Maki.Das Buch zeigt, wie sich die Architekten auf Ästhetik, Raumkonzeptionen sowie Tradition in Japan - und ausserhalb - beziehen. Darüber hinaus vermitteln sechs ergänzende Texte Grundlagen und Geschichte der japanischen Architektur.
Now as before, Japanese architecture is very popular in Europe and the western world. This publication provides an overview of its many design concepts and cross-references. Using design examples and interviews, the book presents thirteen current positions.The publication focuses on young architects who take up extremely independent positions within Japanese architecture, as well as on Pritzker Prize winners Toyo Ito and Fumihiko Maki. Six essays by European specialists on Japan provide supplementary insights into the aesthetics and space concepts of Japanese architecture, making cross-references to Japan’s architectural history, and explaining current lines of development. The book thus combines a self-reflective approach with an outsider’s analytical view.

With its Alpine peaks, crystalline lakes, and efficient cities, Switzerland has quietly become a center for sophisticated late modern architecture. Architect Peter Zumthor, a former cabinetmaker, and the firm Herzog & de Meuron produced a series of buildings at home and abroad that has paved the way for a younger generation of architects who fuse the country's traditional materials with high-tech new tools and innovative construction methods.

Concrete
Concrete-design and build with the construction material of the future With its virtually infinite plasticity, its constructional versatility, and its simple and straightforward building technology, concrete is the building material of the present. In addition to careful design and constructional planning, the invitation of bids and the building contract are the keys to a successful implementation. Building with Concrete provides the basic information needed to work with the material, with special attention to the architect's role in planning and construction management. It describes current trends in concrete technology and the development of innovative new types of concrete, with firsthand reports by architects in the field. It also describes the new version of the DBV/BDZ data sheet \"Exposed Concrete.\"
