dot architects - Politics of Living

Toto 2023 ISBN 9784887064003 Acqn 33490
Pb 21x30cm 240pp col ills £52

Based in Osaka, dot architects is an interdisciplinary practice with a portfolio that spans
architecture, research, art, and more. This volume features five of the studio's completed
projects. Images which portray the projects in their current state are complemented by texts
outlining the history and background of each structure and the surrounding town. As a whole, it
gives a detailed insight into the properties which acutely reflect the "politics of living" - critical
faculties needed to create small autonomous spaces through design, construction, and
involvement, which in turn shapes the principle the architects describe in this book and adhere to
in their daily practice.

African Water Cities

nai010 publishers 2023 ISBN 9789462087767 Acqn 33600
Pb 20x25cm 272pp col ills £39

On the African continent, the impact of climate change is now the day-to-day reality. Coastal and
waterfront cities in particular experience loss and damage due to significant increases in sea level
rise, rainfall, and flooding. At the same time, Africa is the second most rapidly urbanising
continent, after Asia. The intersections between water and cities are therefore critical for
understanding the future of urban and rural developments in Africa. 'African Water Cities'
presents research how African cities by waterfronts deal with this impact.

Modelling the Metropolis - The Architectural Model in Victorian London

gta Verlag 2023 ISBN 9783856764357 Acqn 33601
Pb 17x25cm 188cm col ills £51.50

As London grew in the 19th century, it became the global centre of finance, industrial capitalism,
and the British Empire. New buildings, urban spaces, and infrastructural networks were
demanded, constructed, and rebuilt. Architectural models were a crucial medium, enabling
architects, politicians, and the wider public to conceive the city's expansion. Based on extensive
research in archives, museums, and period publications, this book addresses not just
architectural models but also an eclectic range of images and objects - technical products,
sculptures, diagrams, engravings, maps, photographs - sketching the politics and aesthetics of
19th-century architecture in London.

both the authors' personal interests and the studio's own pursuits in the form of confessions.
Landscape architect Christophe Girot is the featured personage in this volume. Girot writes about
his experiences growing up in England and France, and how the juxtaposition of the regions'
landscapes already happened in his mind, long before he had ever heard or studied anything
about it. These contradictory aesthetic and cultural values drove him to study landscape
architecture someplace else entirely - Berkeley, California, in the 1980s - where he found his own
values challenged anew.

Oase 114 - Optimism or Bust?

nai010 publishers 2023 ISBN 9789462087804 Acqn 33559
Pb 17x24cm 128pp col ills £25.50

Despite climate catastrophes, increasing inequality and growing geo-political instability,

architecture remains stubbornly optimistic about the future. More tha this; it usually sees itself as
the discipline best capable of showing society a way out of disaster. Optimism seems to be a
genuine "strategy" that strongly shapes architectural and urgan design practice. We can hardly
imagine a different - and hopefully better - built future if we are not optimistic about it. This issue
of 'Oase' focuses on this specific position of optimism in architecture and urban design.

Lessons from the Social Condensers 101 Soviet Workers' Clubs and Spaces for Mass
Assembly
gta Verlag 2023 ISBN 9783856764463 Acqn 33560
Pb 21x28cm 190pp col ills £40

In the Soviet Union in the 1920s, the term "social condenser" came to signify architecture's
agency in shaping individual behaviours and reforming society at large. The buildings conceived
as structures for public assembly according to these ideals are among the earliest experiments of
the modern movement. Despite their indisputable impact, there is little insight into this
considerable body of work. The 101 case studies presented here reflect the wide reach of early
Soviet social condensers and serve as precedents for how architecture can activate social
function, yet also as cautionary tales of architecture as an instrument of state propaganda, social
engineering, and territorial control.
