Editorial In my career as a publisher and graphic designer, Birkhäuser has always been an inexhaustible source of information and ideas on architecture and design, and a fundamental reference by which to measure the quality of any publishing activity. The creation of the ActarBirkhäuser Group provides now the opportunity to reinforce and renovate Birkhäuser’s central position in publishing by taking advantage of the technological changes and new consumer requirements affecting our industry, while developing an even stronger content production platform in synergy with the group’s other main publisher, Actar. We trust that this opportunity will result in an enhanced usability of the books and magazines that constitute this catalog—so that they provide you, dear reader, with the appropriate tools for the development of your creative and research activity—and eventually in the establishment of stronger and more productive connections and synergies also among the architecture and design communities in which we operate as publishers.

Building Books

Dear Reader, Architects and interior designers, landscape architects and urban planners, graphic artists and product designers create buildings and interiors, gardens and squares, outdoor and urban landscapes, objects for life and work. They are creative, designing everyday objects that are hopefully more than just useful: irresistible, conspicuous, desirable, in short, beautiful. So how do they connect beauty with utility? Under new ownership Birkhäuser remains the specialist publisher for architecture, landscape architecture and design. We will continue publishing informative and inspiring handbooks and introductions, monographs and dictionaries, collections of essays and textbooks for theory and practice. Our publications convey practical knowledge but seek to be more than just useful: pleasing, attractive, exquisite, in short, beautiful. We aspire to make intelligent books that are a pleasure to hold in the hand, books that take you a step further—and us too. So how do they connect beauty with utility?

Planning and Development Books are created by authors, editors and designers. But how do we get from the initial idea to a concept that can carry a whole book like the foundations of a house? Every book seeks to be special, but not all live up to that expectation. The project development phase requires time. Time to discuss ideas and alternatives, time to develop a broad structure bringing together two perspectives. The author, as the expert in matters of architecture and design, and the publishing house with its expertise in architecture and design books agree on a basic plan for a book—a concept that captures the subject in content and design, an attractive product that is a pleasure to read. Design and Communication As well as pursuing an idea, a book always fits a type distinguished and defined through the ways and means by which it processes and conveys knowledge. Just as a school needs a different spatial configuration from a stadium, an architectural handbook follows different rules than a designer’s monograph. Our architecture and design catalogues will continue to reflect the diversity of contemporary and practical themes, consequently exploiting a spectrum of formats. A book must address and exceed the expectations placed upon it through the way it interprets its type and thus first receives its individual form.

Constructing and Materializing Books have to be constructed if they are to materialize their idea. Like in architecture, the product is generated through a process involving materials, modules, elements and structures. There are many questions concerning the logic of the construction: In what dimensions do we want to build a book, what format, what size? How will we select the different materials? The paper for the interior? The cover materials for the outer shell? What texts, images and plans are to be used, which typefaces? On what grid, what layout, will we build? Which insights and perspectives can the images supply? How to configure the relationship between built and open areas, between text, illustrations and white space?

We will retain and actively develop the visual identity of the Birkhäuser imprint. We see it as a great advantage that Actar itself has such high standards and ambitions in the field of graphic design and book production. Sharing know-how will allow us to optimize the aesthetic quality of our books and provide you with tools that are even more attractive. Planning and Realizing Ultimately, books have to be realized and financed. Individual project management by editor, graphic designer and publisher remain the key to observing agreed budgets and schedules. But they do not bear sole responsibility: authors, architects and designers, translators and proofreaders, photographers and lithographers, printers and bookbinders all contribute expertise to put a project on the shelves. And they all know that it requires a concerted effort by all involved, a dynamic equilibrium of the highest order, to create the built object, the printed book. Be inspired!

Turn Up the Volume “TypoLyrics—The Sound of Fonts”

Slanted magazine includes a cherished section named “TypoLyrics.” There, new fonts created by international designers are presented in the form of illustrated lyrics. The principle has also been adopted for a new homonymous book. Let’s listen in. Kurt Weidemann famously calls typography a “dry lover.” Just how much sex appeal the black art can nevertheless have is clearly evidenced by the book “TypoLyrics” that the editors of Slanted magazine presented in May at the Typo in Berlin. Slanted’s claim is quite consciously: “The feel of typography.” The magazine editors are interested not in the finer points of the fonts, but in conveying their enthusiasm and passion for particular typefaces, staging fonts and presenting the new kids on the block. As in the magazine’s section on “TypoLyrics,” that readers so rave about, and which is now the subject of an entire book. Lars Harmsen, one of the founders of Karlsruhe’s Magma agency (which first launched Slanted) had the idea on spotting a section in legendary Ray Gun magazine, designed by David Carson: “However, the focus there was on reillustrating the cover of a well-known album—a fictitious redesign, as it were, but visually striking, with copy not playing a role. In ‘TypoLyrics’ the idea is to present new font designs: In order to show the design potential of a font you simply have to show how it is used, black on white. Dummy copy hardly does the trick. Because often the feel of a font gets lost if the way it is presented is defined by the CI stipulations of a font publisher.” Today, fonts tend to get selected online: you enter a few words in a box and can then immediately see what it will look like in different faces. Now that is practical if things have to happen fast and you need a first impression. But Harmsen has something different in mind: “TypoLyrics gives the font designers themselves the chance to show how their design can be used. Or we ask international illustrators and graphic artists to use a specific new font and explore via a lyric how it looks and feels.” Here the goal is not to heed the wild ideas of a rock band

or a label’s marketing executive. But if you consider that the book runs to over 200 pages and the project covers eleven different chapters and 176 typographical illustrations then you soon realize you cannot simply give any and every designer a carte blanche to “put your favorite song in font!” Chief curator Lars Harmsen, DJ Frank Wiedemann, and designers Flo Gaertner and Jan Kiesswetter set out above all to give the right songs in the right mixture to the right designers —in order to get exciting pairings and visually inspiring results. Jan Kiesswetter comments: “In some cases we asked very young designers to try their hand with very old songs, confronted a Techno fan with a country western song. Or a Hip-Hop lover with a piece of folk. Because we wanted to provoke visual ideas that are a far cry from the clichés you associate with the genre and that are not solely influenced by the personal musical taste of the designer.” The typo-illustrations in the book are printed on colored papers, and each of the eleven chapters has its own tone. But look for yourself: The book is now at your local store.

Interview with Dino Simonett The Making of “Dado” Together with Bruno Margreth, Dino Simonett created the design for “Dado—Built and Inhabited by Rudolf Olgiati and Valerio Olgiati.” The volume joins a series of publications on the buildings of Valerio Olgiati, produced in close collaboration between Dino Simonett and the architect. As an art director, Simonett develops book concepts that seek their own channels of communication outside and beyond the mainstream. We spoke with Dino Simonett about the process of creating “Dado” and his ideas about making books.

Dado: you tell the story of the building through subtle images and plans but packaged them in such a conspicuous object of bookbinding art. How do you reconcile the quiet and the loud? Se la forza no ha la dolcezza non e la forza. Se la dolcezza non ha la forza non e la dolcezza. Les extrèmes se touchent. Anything in-between is half-hearted and boring. Count me out. That’s what my mother always says when I try to take her to the mountains.

What came first? The idea of letting the images do the talking or the concept for the presentation? The form simply had to work, and it had be new. Never do the same book twice, that bores me. How the pictures and text fit in, that’s a different matter.

Sometimes you use Japanese binding techniques, or you dispense with the stabilising spine. What inspires your book concepts? I have always made books that I would like to buy myself. Books I can’t find in the shops. There is very little to be found that is sensitive and stimulating. I’m inspired by stuff from the 1930s and that kind of thing, wherever it is from. Looking at an original Tintin album from the late 1940s makes me come over all strange, it quite excites me. So perfectly reproduced in such lovely strong colors, I can think of almost nothing comparable in offset printing, stunningly printed on matt paper, unmatched. Bound so fine and thin, with a sensitive touch, nothing swanky. Today everything is brash, high-gloss, foillaminated and disgustingly unsensual; mass production. There are exceptions of course, but even when you look at “the most beautiful books” I think there is much too much trendy rubbish. So “old-fashioned” techniques find their way into my books, but I still make far too many mistakes. For example paper too thick, card too heavy—despite making

wo rk flow s i n T e rv i e w wi T h di n o s i m o n e T T

dozens of dummies. That is one source of inspiration. There would be a lot more to say but there’s not the time here, I can only scratch the surface.

How do you work with publishers, with architects and artists? Do you seek people out? And when they come to you, when do you come on board? What does the working process look like? Hmm. These days it’s quite simple. First of all I listen very carefully to what they have to say, what they want. Then I tell them I’m like an architect (or a fashion designer): if the project interests me and the money is right I would be pleased to take the supplied concrete—or dressed stone and solid walnut—and create something for the client. But if he knows it all better himself then he might as well build his own house. I wouldn’t tell Balenciaga or Olgiati how to do their job would I? I use my head, that’s the secret. I think my way into the job as best as I can, doing exactly that what I believe to be the very best for the subject and the client. I want him or her to be absolutely happy with the finished book and I want to be happy too, nothing less than that. It must be attractive and it must make sense. And it must have an artistic touch, otherwise it’s totally boring. I have mostly succeeded in that, but not always. The aspiration is a good place to start though, isn’t it?

Your concepts for Valerio Olgiati echo the rigour of his architecture, the clear,

reduced language. Is this quality a fundamental precondition for collaboration or is it more a question of finding the right “packaging” for a subject? Olgiati is far and away the sharpest and clearest thinker in my publishing circus, which makes working with him divine (and I don’t mean that ironically). He is incredibly creative and unconventional, and bloody-mindedly tenacious until a thing really works and something good has come out of it, a functioning idea. It would be splendid if there were more people like Olgiati, I haven’t been able to find them (yet). Olgiati is a blessing, I have learnt such a lot from him, for example how to think something through clearly to the end, until it works. With others I have to do (almost) all the thinking and


wo r kflows inT erv i ew wi T h di no si mo neT T

conceptual work myself, really, and I fall in love with my own ideas too quickly and am too easily satisfied and then I get lazy. But I’m working on it, I promise!

Your book projects are all very “crafted” in the treatment of the paper and the bookbinding. You experiment outside the normal limits. What does this craft quality mean for you? Part of the answer is what I said earlier. As long as a book is physical it is always going to be a crafted thing, haptic. There is dross in every field. As an apprentice joiner I learned to work very precisely, otherwise there was trouble. So you should work precisely please. And beautifully. I cheated too, sometimes knowingly, sometimes unknowingly. Today I want to cheat as little as possible. That means you can see how the book is made, what it consists of. It’s the same with food. We all want organic, Kobe beef, Andean muesli, “pure” spring water and so on. Why shouldn’t a book be made of good high-quality materials. It’s definitely worthwhile, especially if you are a small publisher who has to sell your own books,

13

always carting boxes of books around, taking them to the post office. So at least every day I have the pleasure of looking at attractive well-made books while I’m hard at work in the business.

What defines a good (architecture/design) book for you? Ninety-seven percent is rubbish, I wouldn’t touch it with a . . . The rest is worth living for. For example Max Bill’s Maillart. Lovely. Perfect. Not too thick. Super proportions. Fantastic typeface. Balanced. Nice bridges of course. Something contemporary? I’d have to have a look. Nine Swimming Pools by Ed Ruscha. It’s old too, and an artist’s book, sorry. Can’t think of anything else. It’s dreadful. No good Zumthor book, the one by Lars Müller just scrapes through. The book about Vals is a disaster, please pulp (not from Birkhäuser is it?). The Herzog & de Meuron book by Peter Blum, it’s got something. Japanese stuff is good, they have a different eye and they’re ultra-precise. The Shinohara book, the square one from the 1970s, I’ve been looking for that for a long time. Honestly, it drives me nuts, all I can think of is rubbish. Even the Dhaka book I did for Louis Kahn, it was successful but I wouldn’t say it’s that good. With that one I was at the mercy of certain outside constraints, you could say. In short: Less is more. Little books, choice books, thin books, “unpolished” books normal books. Or an eight-pound doorstopper like the Valerio Olgiati for König, of which I’m a little bit proud.

Is there a design concept or a book, that you are just dying to do? Thank you for the question. I’m already quite exhausted by this interview, I’ve given my all. I would like to print a book on MONADNOCK paper. Incredibly beautiful paper from America. And I’d like to do a book in copper-plate intaglio. I would like to print something in Japan with my friend Issay Kitagawa from Graph, it’s a revelation how that man prints. The end. Thank you for your attention.

Thinking Architecture Peter Zumthor

Atmospheres Architectural environments— surrounding objects

Mikael Nanfeldt (Ed.)

3rd, expanded edition

Peter Zumthor

Architecture that is meant to have a sensuous connection to life calls for thinking that goes far beyond form and construction. in his texts, peter Zumthor articulates what motivates him to design his buildings, which appeal to the visitor’s heart and mind in so many ways and possess a compelling and unmistakable presence and aura. The third edition has been expanded to include two new essays .

in nine short, illustrated chapters framed as a process of self-observation, peter eter Zumthor describes what he has in mind as he sets about creating the atmosphere of his houses. images of spaces and buildings that affect him are every bit as important as particular pieces of music or books that inspire him.

gert wingårdh (b. 1951) is sweden’s leading architect. his clever and imaginative spatial creations are remarkable in economic as well as ecological and sociological terms. This monograph analyzes the principal aspects of his work in seminal essays by renowned architecture critics. 2008. 560 pp., 295 color ills., 150 drawings. 17.0 × 24.0 cm. softcover.

This volume focuses on projects otherwise overshadowed by the spectacular and extravagant buildings that fill the specialist journals: unvarnished, unpretentious buildings that, despite tight budgets, are clearly worked out to the last detail. They exemplify how, and by what measures, cost-effective planning and building are possible.

This bestselling “in detail” volume examines the use of materials, lighting and color in creating ambiance.

Architecture is defined by its materials and surfaces. not infrequently, it is their look and feel that determine whether a project succeeds or fails. “in detail: interior surfaces and materials” provides detailed and specific information on the use of appropriate materials in interior design.

shelters, kiosks, snack bars, bus stops, telephone booths —small buildings shape our daily lives and occupy a definite place in the infrastructure of the city. There exist many potential ways to ensure the quality of everyday design hidden in these small necessities. This volume spans the arc between architecture and product design and their successful realization is evident in the details of their construction.

From trade fair stands to museum concepts, the successful transfer of information to a wide public audience relies on effective staging and appropriate architectural design. with extensively documented project examples organized by presentation or exhibition type, this volume offers a detailed roadmap to practical success.

Building high-density housing is a diverse and challenging task for planners and architects. This book presents international projects which document the complexity of the task, from the design of the floor plans, the development and use of resources, to the use of economically beneficial building systems.

organized thematically, this book highlights a variety of well-defined topics, such as handicap-accessibility and flexibility of use, and presents them together with explanatory technical articles and examples of realized projects. in closing, it provides addresses of information centers as well as sources of additional information.

Fully revised and expanded: in this book, 15 international examples are presented, reviewing the most important aspects of construction including the use of wood, steel, brickwork and concrete which have all become established materials for this type of building.

semi-detached and Terraced houses and ribbon developments constitute an affordable alternative to the single-family house, especially for young families. in times of tight budgets and rising investment costs, they represent a sensible alternative to the freestanding single-family house, particularly in terms of their use of open space.

This volume deals with the various types of the courtyard house, which utilizes the courtyard as an intimate outdoor living space. A presentation of the courtyard as a building block of the city is followed by coverage of the complete spectrum of types—cluster, network, carpet, terraces, etc.

This book is devoted to the various types of row house, a particularly widespread form of residential structure. A general discussion of the row as organizing principle—the row as urban building block, linear space, ways of handling corners—is followed by the systematic presentation of the different types.

This volume of the series on residential buildings deals with the different types of the townhouse. The authors present them according to urban constellation: row, twin-row, block perimeter and infill sites.

“living in the Alps” presents intelligent ideas and approaches from selected residential developments and construction projects from europe’s eight Alpine countries; it examines not just dwelling itself but also the integration of various functions. new photo essays produced especially for the volume show how the structures in question are actually used.

sustainable interventions in underserved, impoverished urban and rural communities are a much-discussed topic. The work shown in this book expresses a belief in the social responsibility of architecture. The projects—often schools, parks or housing—reveal an exciting change in the longstanding dialogue between architecture and ethics. in these works, one sees an expanded definition of sustainability encompassing larger social and economic issues.

Norwegian Review of Architecture

in the Austria of the 1960s, the visionary designs of architects and artists garnered international attention. in this book authors such as Bart lootsma, stanislaus von moos, Joseph rykwert, Anthony vidler, and others analyze texts and images of this “Austrian phenomenon” situating it in the context of international architectural history.

“made in norway” presents a selection of the best of norwegian projects in one book, demonstrating norwegian architects’ responses to a variety of different situations, both natural and urban. including interviews with some of today’s central practitioners, e.g. snøhetta or sverre Fehn, and essays discussing some of the main challenges of norwegian architecture today.

The work of the Ticino architects first captured international attention in 1975 on the occasion of the Zurich exhibition “Tendencies—recent Architecture in Ticino” and it did so virtually overnight. This volume brings together the works of the Ticino school. with the publication of this reprint, this unique historical document, which has a permanent place in the teaching of design, is once again available. 2010. 166 pp., 442 b/w ills., 29.7 x 21.0 cm. softcover.

Art and Architecture strategies in collaboration

Crucial words conditions for Bauhaus contemporary Twenty—21 An ongoing legacy Architecture

Christian Bjone

Gordon Watkinson

since the beginning of the 20th century, artists and architects have often been in collaboration. great works of art/architecture have resulted from these cooperations and this book explores them in nine chapters from 1914 up to the present, highlighting the most striking examples of these interdisciplinary activities.

scarcely any other movement in architecture and design had such a lasting impact as the Bauhaus; for many it is synonymous with classic modernism. This book traces the themes and the aesthetics of Bauhaus for our time. it shows 12 of the most important works of Bauhaus architecture and juxtaposes them with contemporary projects.

Context Architecture

Today it is complexity studies, with their starting point in physics, that define the current approach to the concept of complexity. They have established a new connection between the natural sciences and information technology and have thus become a central premise of computer-based approaches to design.

complex patterns are founded on simple rules. pattern and pattern formation are of new, important significance as the fundamental principles of systematization and description of very complex processes and phenomena. which idea of pattern has to be used in the architectural discourse today?

The new series “context Architecture” seeks to take a critical selection of concepts that play a vital role in the current discourse and put them up for discussion. in the context of discussions of the medial, the notion of simulation plays a central role in architecture as illusion and imitation.

Landscape today is seen as a complex system of biotopes and water cycles, open spaces and built structures, neighborhoods and commercial areas. This book analyzes and documents this international development and its significance for landscape architects.

How can buildings and open space be integrated by means of design? What potential results from the interaction of landscape planning and the art of engineering? What are the consequences of design chasing after artificiality? This attractive book reveals the pioneering responses that contemporary landscape architects offer to such central questions.

’scape is the international magazine for landscape architecture, city planning, and urban design. Lively, with international voices and a critical eye, it presents selected news items, in-depth feature articles, concise essays, solidly based and informative project critiques, portraits of outstanding personalities, and reviews of new literature.

Limited Edition Prototypes, OneOffs and Design Art Furniture

Manuscript Essentials for the Everyday Use of Interior Architects and Designers

limited language: rewriting design responding to a feedback culture

Sophie Lovell

Müller-Schöll

Colin Davies, Monika Parrinder (Eds)

“Limited Edition” is the new phenomenon in furniture design. With prototypes, oneoffs and limited product lines, designers are making furniture objects outside of, and parallel to, the industrial manufacturing system. This book documents this new phenomenon in meticulous investigative essays and presents a fascinating collection of works.

Provides essential introductory information for designers and interior designers. From the realm of interior design, for example, it deals with ceilings, floors, doors, windows, stairs, etc.—from that of material science, with carpets, wallpaper, wall paint, glass, wood materials, stone, and concrete.

“Limited Language” is a web-platform for generating writing and discussion about the design process. Each of the sub-sections of the book “limited language : rewriting design” comprises an article from the website, followed by a reflection/response to the topic by the responses raised on limitedlanguage.org.

The Making of Design From the First Transformation Basic Principles Universal Design Model to the and Methodology Solutions for Final Product of Design Barrier-free Living Gerrit Terstiege (Ed.)

Roland Knauer

This book takes an in-depth look at design processes, with 21 depictions of “the making of” products from a wide variety of industries. Renowned designers like Konstantin Grcic, the Bouroullecs, or Hella Jongerius show how they go about designing products, the tools they use for visualization and how projects change during the model phase.

Bar, surface, body, and space are the fundamental elements of the design process. Every form, however complex, may be understood as a variation of them. “Transformation” represents a foundational work for architects, designers, and lay people with an interest in cultural history: the unrivaled grammar of design.
