Inventory
This book compiles Adamo-Faiden’s inventory along with the inventions this body of work distills. Images, drawings and texts are presented in the form of diptychs, forcing the reader to establish subjective bridges between both documents. Adamo-Faiden is an architecture studio established in Buenos Aires by Sebastian Adamo and Marcelo Faiden. Their practice extends to the field of teaching and research, and has been internationally recognized by different media and institutions. Their works were exhibited at the Sao Paulo Architecture Biennial, the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Venice Architecture Biennale, the Chicago Architecture Biennial, the LIGA Architecture gallery in Mexico, the Deutsches Architekturmuseum in Frankfurt, the Storefront for Art & Architecture in New York, and at Princeton University School of Architecture. Inventory’s sequential accumulation proposes a journey through two decades of work designed by its authors and positions Adamo-Faiden’s architecture between material organization and intellectual speculation.
Architecture for Housing
New fundamentals for designing future-oriented housing This book shows how architectural design can improve housing. It looks at 14 innovative multiunit dwelling projects through the lenses of current research on urban housing systems, driven by questions on social, environmental, and economic sustainability. Residential buildings designed for diverse cultural contexts are brought together and examined according to spatial antonyms: the individual and communal, the interior and exterior, and the determined and undetermined, to create a resource for future architectural practice. The book concentrates on design decisions and incorporates rich illustrations and conversations with architects and residents. It follows a series of talks curated by the Melbourne School of Design to extend the debate on the missing links between architectural practice and housing research. New fundamentals for designing future-oriented housing In-detail portraits of 14 impactful multi-unit dwelling projects by international architecture offices A rich set of illustrations created exclusively for this book
Assembly
Part-to-part relationships and the approach to governing their sensibilities is at the root of all architecture. The need for engaging in a dialogue around these systems is essential to contemporary architectural discourse and practice. Assembly builds on and extends the investigations of materials and representation techniques in the editors’ previous books, Matter and Lineament. This book uses a collection of detailed case studies, explained by first-person authors, about experimental and innovative takes on assembling architecture. Bridging theory and practice, 17 projects and their principled approaches each demonstrate an important vein of inquiry within the topic. Essays probe issues such as latent and overt geometry, fabrication and technology, part-to-part elements, joinery and representation, material vernacular geometries, labor and place-based contextual assemblies, detailing, and pedagogical examinations. This text articulates the traditions and trends of material as the defining premise in the contemporary making of architecture. Its outcomes are applicable to beginning students of architecture and advanced practitioners alike.
The New Modern House
Modern architecture is a story of movements, styles and genres. But what of the work that remains defiantly unique, refusing to submit to a label or genre? This book looks at the emerging trend of architecture that favours substance over style, combining functional design and sustainable processes with a straightforward, honest aesthetic.
Infraestructuras programáticas
Este volumen recoge el trabajo realizado durante el curso titulado Infraestructuras Programáticas. Textos y proyectos de Juan Herreros, Elii y Felipe Mesa permiten completar un enfoque que trasciende lo estrictamente documental.
Adaptive design
Il corpo umano è in condizione di benessere quando si disperde, senza sforzo, una quantità di calore pari alla quantità prodotta dalle sue funzioni vitali, unitamente all’attività fisica svolta ad un dato momento. Quando l’organismo è artificialmente obbligato ad aumentare i meccanismi che producono e disperdono il calore, lo stress che ne deriva porta disagio, influendo negativamente sulle performatività dell’individuo. La temperatura più importante per il comfort termico è quella detta temperatura operativa, che tiene conto sia della temperatura dell’aria che della temperatura radiante, o le due letture che determinano la quantità di calore scambiato dal corpo umano per co...
