Book Description
Fourteen exquisite innovations in domestic architecture from the acclaimed Chilean virtuoso The work of Chilean architect Smiljan Radic (born 1965) has found international acclaim following his superb 2014 Serpentine Gallery pavilion in London. This 2Gissue features a selection of the houses built by Radic throughout his nearly three-decade career, from his extension to the Charcoal Burner's House (Cupliprán, 1997-98) and his Small House (Vilches, 1995-96) to his last Wooden House (Lake Colico, 2014-15) and Prism House (Coinguillio, 2017-18). In addition to the 14 houses featured, a text by Enrique Walker explains the keys to understanding Radic's domestic oeuvre; another, by Moisés Puente, describes the interventions that Radic created at an estate in Vilches for Puente and his family. Two texts by Radic himself discuss Chilean domestic architecture and the role of "repair" (rather than mere restoration or preservation) in architecture generally.

Cecilia Puga
Author: Smiljan Radic
Publisher:
ISBN: 9788425223396
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 143
Book Description
Cecilia Puga belongs, along with Smiljan Radic, Alejandro Aravena and Pezo von Ellrichshausen, to a new generation of Chilean architects who from their peripheral situation address concerns that are very much in keeping with certain avenues explored by European architecture. This issue of 2G brings together seventeen buildings and projects by the Chilean architect, including the exemplary House in Bah’a Azul, in which the classic icon of the section of a house - the outline any child might draw - is manipulated, pivoted and transformed to produce a sense of strangeness in relation to its environment. Situated at the edge of a bare cliff on the Chilean coast, the icon is toned down and the house seems like a strange ruin in the landscape. With introductory texts by her colleague Smiljan Radic and the Chilean architect and editor Patricio Mardones, and a personal photo album which shows the Chilean vernacular architecture and landscapes that form an inspiration for Puga’s work, this immensely observant and informed publication is to be welcomed by all.

Book Description
Anne Holtrop (1977) graduated in 2005 from the Academie van Bouwkunst in Amsterdam with a cum laude degree in architecture and in 2009 started his own studio. Today his office is based in Muharraq (Bahrain) and Amsterdam (The Netherlands). His work ranges from models to temporary spaces and buildings. Until very recently, he had only built a few small pavilions and various installations between art and architecture. Outside of the conventional architectural circuit, and more related to art installations, these extremely poetic pavilions consisted of small-scale spatial concepts and personal research on materials. In 2015 he completed his first two major buildings, Museum Fort Vechten and the National Pavilion of the Kingdom of Bahrain. He was course director of the Studio for Immediate Spaces master at the Sandberg Instituut Amsterdam from 2012 to 2016, and was editor of the architectural journal Oase from 2005 to 2013. For his practice he has been awarded several grants from the Mondrian Fund, as well as receiving the Charlotte Kohler Prize for Architecture from the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds in 2007.

Bruther
Author: Javier Augstín Rojas

ISBN: 9783960981022
Category : Architectural firms
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
The latest in the 2G Architecture series focuses on the Parisian based practice Bruther. Bruther is a French architectural studio based in Paris. Stéphanie Bru and Alexandre Theriot opened their office in 2007, at the very beginning of what capitalists call a 'crisis' and Marxists might define as new round of 'primitive accumulation and dispossession'. Having grown up and trained during the heyday of the French welfare state and inspired by the optimism of the early European Union, Bru and Theriot are well aware of the pressure that the political shift to the right, social inequality and insecurity about the future of Europe are exerting on public institutions. Bruther stands for a specific architecture, adapted to the needs of each project in order to offer maximal living conditions. Adaptability and evolutivity of the building are fundamentals in the office practice. Since 2007, Bruther have developed national and international projects such as Cultural and Sport Center Saint-Blaise (2014), Helsinki Central Library (2013) and New Generation Research Center (2015).

Paul Rudolph
Author: Eugenia Bell
Publisher: Chronicle Books
ISBN: 1616898887
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
Paul Rudolph (1918–1997) authored some of Modernism's most powerful designs and served as an influential educator while chair of Yale's School of Architecture. His early residential work in Sarasota, Florida, garnered international attention, and his later exploration of Brutalist materials nd forms, most famously embodied in his Yale Art & Architecture Building (1963), earned Rudolph both notoriety and acclaim. Many of the dynamic drawings included in this collection — selected from the architect's archive housed in the Library of Congress — illustrate his highly emotive hand and deft drafting skill. They include his designs for Tuskegee University Chapel, Interama, Lower Manhattan Expressway, his analysis of Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion, and his own inventive penthouse on Beekman Place in New York City. A lively Rudolph interview, conducted in 1986, and a newly commissioned introductory essay provide context for the drawings.

Pezo von Ellrichshausen

Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
"For years Chile has been putting forward new modes of architectural production from a small, hitherto peripheral location in terms of traditional centres of contemporary production. Architects of the stature of Mathias Klotz, Smijan Radic and Cecilia Puga testify to a strong renewal of Chilean architecture, which has its prolongation in the younger couple formed by Mauricio Pezo and Sofia von Ellrichshausen.Established in the city of Concepicon, south of Santiago de Chile, the Pezo von Ellrichshausen studio made a name for itself in 2005 following the construction of the Poli House. Since then, and despite their youth, they have consolidated themselves as one of the most promising professional studios on the contemporary architecture scene. This issue brings together the studio’s built works and projects, single-family houses for the most part, which permit the reader to witness the evolution of the themes dealt with – from the compact, monolithic construction of the early dwellings, including interesting exercises in the use of courtyards, to the most recent theme of a rethink of the classic patio house."

2G: Fala Atelier (Porto)
Author: Pedro Bandeira
Publisher: Walther Konig Verlag
ISBN: 9783960985952
Category : Architectural practice
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Fala is a young architecture practice founded in 2013 in Porto, and led by Filipe Magalhães, Ana Luisa Soares and Ahmed Belkhodja. Hedonistic yet restrained, the studio takes lightness and joy very seriously. Their projects can be characterized by a strong tendency towards autonomy, or better: towards an emerging independence of architectural language. Many of the refurbishment projects in Porto were initiated by private investors, trying to make a fortune by real estate speculation. After the economic crisis of 2008 the downtowns of Porto and Lisbon were confronted with a rampant boom in tourism. Speculation was propelled by special governmental measures such as the relief of a far-reaching protection against dismissal or the easy availability of golden visas. This may be the reason why some of Fala's projects come across like topical declinations of the same program: separation of auxiliary functions from the main space, zoning of the plan, opening and staging of the view onto a small courtyard.
