Höweler + Yoon, founded in 2001 and based in Boston, gained
early praise for ephemeral and interactive public projects and
today is recognized for striking works that combine concep­tual
imagination and technological sophistication. The firm’s impres­
sive body of work has expanded the scope of design beyond tra-
ditional disciplinary boundaries and has won them numerous
national and international awards. Verify in Field is Höweler +
Yoon’s second book. Its title derives from a notational conven-
tion on architectural drawings to indicate that the information is
subject to unknown conditions in the field. The book highlights
verification as an integral part of the design process and demon-
strates it as a productive tool to test ideas and act on the world.

For both disciplinary and contractual reasons, the instruments
of design—drawings, models, and prototypes—operate on the
world at a distance. Techniques of prototyping, measurement,
feedback, negotiation, and intervention inform the diverse             An intriguing exploration of recent

bridge in Shanghai’s Expo Park. The book also examines the             architectural design
discipline’s pressing questions, as they relate to verification, un­
certainty, and agency, in a series of essays by Eric Höweler and
J. Meejin Yoon on topics that include means and methods, the
public realm, energy and environments, the construction detail,
and social media. These themes are echoed in conversations
with collaborators, historians, and theorists: Adam Greeneld,
Nader Tehrani, Kate Orff, Daniel Barber, and Ana Miljacki.

Eric Höweler and J. Meejin Yoon are architects
and designers and cofounding principals of
Boston-based firm Höweler + Yoon. Höweler
is also associate professor of architecture at

Founded by Swiss settlers in 1845, New Glarus in Wisconsin
evolved from being a dairy farming and cheese production vil-
lage to a popular tourist destination. Following a grave econom-
ic downturn in the 1960s and 1970s, the community discovered
embracing the image of its cultural heritage, particularly tradi-
tional architectural details, as a way of survival. Consequently,
they began to change their commercial building façades to ap-
pear even more Swiss. Since 1999, the town has even regulated
the production of new buildings via its building codes to preserve
this particular aesthetic evoking the familiar traditional Swiss
chalet style.

Swissness Applied investigates the transformation of Europe-
an immigrant towns in the United States, exemplified by New
Glarus. It features the results of extensive fieldwork on buildings
in the village as well as design projections based on the local
building code and evaluates the outcomes through different rep-
resentation techniques. Expert authors including Courntey Coff-
man, Kurt Forster, Whitney Moon, Philip Ursprung, and Jesús
Vassallo contribute essays that pick up on aspects such as the
role of cultural imagery and immigration history in architecture,
                                                                      New Glarus, Wisconsin: a prime

When architects visit a building, and want to record or identify
what they see, they take out a bundle of folded sheets in search
of a blank piece of paper. These sheets may be ground plans,
diagrams, sketches and ordnance maps. In one way or another,
all are survey drawings, operating as both documentation and
analysis, enabling an architect to examine certain conditions of
the built environment, whether geometric, relational, material
or technical.

This book explores the history of the survey and its multiple
forms in order to understand how the methods of recording
what already exists can also be used to imagine what might be.
Lavishly illustrated, with works from the collection of Drawing
Matter and beyond, it addresses the multiple forms of the survey
through focused studies – on John Soane (1753–1837), Charles
Robert Cockerell (1788–1863), and Detmar Blow (1867–1939);
French architects Louis-Hippolyte Lebas (1782–1867), Henri
Labrouste (1801–1875), and Eugène Viollet-le-Duc (1814–1879);
and Swiss-based Peter Märkli (born 1953) – and an extensive
                                                                     A lavishly illustrated history of the
section of plates with commentaries by contemporary archi-           architectural survey drawing across
tects. In doing so, it maintains that while all surveys begin with   for centuries
the site, the outcomes are as idiosyncratic as their authors – and
their methods have much to offer as tools in design practice.

The book is the first in the Architecture Iconographies series,
published in collaboration with Drawing Matter, an organization
based in Wincanton, Somerset, that explores the role of draw-
ing in architectural thought and practice. They consider the im-
age-making of architecture through its typologies and unique
approaches to drawing. Exploring their resonance in the history
of the profession, as well as their relationship to the architects
themselves, the series aims to open up further possibilities for
their use in both practice and teaching.

However disparate the style or ethos, beneath architecture’s
pluralism lies a number of categorical typologies. In Thinking
Design, Austrian architect Andreas Lechner has condensed his
profound typological understanding into a single book.

Divided into three chapters—Tectonics, Type, and Topos—Lech-
ner’s book reflects upon twelve fundamental typologies: theater,
museum, library, state, office, recreation, religion, retail, factory,
education, surveillance, and hospital. Encompassing a total of
144 carefully selected examples of classic designs and build-
ings, ranging across an epic sweep from antiquity to the present,
the book not only explains the fundamentals of collective archi-
tectural knowledge but traces the interconnected reiterations
that lie at the heart of architecture’s transformative power.

As such, Thinking Design outlines a new building theory rooted in
the act of composition as an aesthetic determinant of architec-
tural form. This emphasis on composition in the design process
                                                                         A clearly distilled architectural atlas
over the more commonplace aspects of function, purpose, or               based on 144 major designs from
atmosphere makes it more than a mere planning manual. It re-             ancient times to the twenty-first
veals also the cultural dimension of architecture that gives it the
ability to transcend not only use cycles but entire epochs. Each         century, showcasing the cultural
example is meticulously illustrated with a newly drawn elevation         dimension of building
or axonometric projection, floor plan, and section, not only invig-
orating the underlying ideas but also making the book an ideal
comparative compendium.

research practice in Graz, Austria, and teaches

Technology's Faculty of Architecture.

Brooklyn’s Gowanus Canal is a hidden landmark, a valuable but
latent asset to the local and broader community. Formerly a
wetland creek, it is now severely polluted and bordered by indus-
trial buildings. Although it is surrounded by residential neigh-
borhoods, there is hardly any public access to the water’s edge.
The existing canal bulkhead and drainage is also a piece of hard
engineered infrastructure that is seemingly easy to maintain but
inadequate for managing extreme weather—when it fails the
impacts are catastrophic.

To facilitate greater access and ecological productivity of the
Gowanus Canal, Brooklyn-based firm DLANDstudio has invent-
ed the Sponge Park™. It is designed as a series of public urban
waterfront spaces that slow, absorb, and filter dirty surface wa-
ter runoff to clean contaminated canal water, reduce combined
sewer overflow, and activate the canal edge. Revealing the form,

strates the concept’s potential as a component also of a larger
vision for a new paradigm of coastal urbanism, upland adap-
tation, and right of way design in the twenty-first century that
anticipates more frequent extreme weather impacts and affects
American policymaking. It is a must-read for design students,
architects, and academics as well as for elected officials, policy-
makers, and community activists.

The Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich has been re-
searching the integration of robots into the architectural prac-
tice, both in design and the fabrication process, for some time.
This book—created in collaboration with the chair of Christophe
Girot, Gramazio Kohler Research, and Marco Hutter at ETH Zu-
rich’s Robotic Systems Lab—is the first to investigate the use of
robot-based construction equipment for large-scale soil grad-
ing in landscape architecture. As landscapes are continuously
changing due to ever-changing environmental conditions, the
application of autonomous systems that respond to the environ-
ment rather than perform predefined and static earthwork is of
particular interest in this field.

Robotic Landscapes sheds light on a series of groundbreaking
experiments in an interdisciplinary collaboration of landscape                             Dynamic robot-based planning
design, environmental engineering, and robotics that aims to
make landscape architecture sustainable and ecological in the                              and execution tools open up

Paris-based firm ChartierDalix, founded in 2008 by Frédéric
Chartier and Pascale Dalix, can look back on a successful first
twelve years of design practice. They have garnered attention at
various international competitions and were awarded several
prizes, such as the Europe 40 under 40 Award. In 2019, their first
book ChartierDalix. Hosting Life explored their unique approach
to link ecosystem and architecture and their research and prac-
tical implementation of this connection.

In this new series of books, ChartierDalix now presents its en-
tire body of work, beginning with the volume covering the years
2016 to 2021. It showcases eleven designs they have realized in
Paris and the surrounding area, all described in detail with texts,
photographs and plans. The selection includes projects such as
the transformation of the former Lourcine barracks into the new
Université de Droit-Paris I, which was nominated for the Mies
van der Rohe Award and honored with the Frame Award 2020, a
number of office and commercial structures, the transformation
of the Renault Design Center in Guyancourt, as well as several                              Be generous rather than generic:

Urban design today is facing a multitude of challenges. Using
twelve key terms, this book connects these challenges to proj-
ects in this field. It introduces concepts. presents possible solu-
tions, and describes implementation processes. A special focus
is put on the interaction of the built environment with living sys-
tems—an approach that is slowly gaining acceptance within the
urban design community and that is setting aside a primarily
building-oriented practice in favor of an increased appreciation
of public space.

Basics of Urbanism defines and illustrates parameters with
a clearly territorial approach to urban design. Space between
buildings is treated as an essential structure for environmen-
tal and social change within small-scale neighborhoods and
blocks, as well as at the level districts and even entire cities. This
approach includes forward-thinking temporal aspects as well as
the implementation of existing resources in the creation of new                 History, context, composition, network,
spatial qualities.

While most books on architecture focus on the architectural
outcome itself, Architects on Dwelling takes a close look at how
that outcome is created. To design any kind of dwelling, archi-
tects draw on both their reservoir of ideas as well as their own
experiences as fellow inhabitants of such structures. This book
explores how architects design the places we inhabit and how
those places in turn inform the manner in which we live, in ways
beyond lifestyle and personal taste. Through contributions by
Stephen Hoey, Henry McKeown & Ian Alexander, James Mitch-
ell, Stacey Philips, Christopher Platt, Adrian Stewart, and Miran-
da Webster—most of whom are Scotland-based practitioners as
well as teachers in The Glasgow School of Art—it reveals the
unique values and qualities that inform their design process-          The places we live in profoundly

images, these essays both illuminate the architects’ motivations
and inspirations and celebrate their featured works.

Taken as a whole, Architects on Dwelling reminds us how pro-
foundly the place we live in matters to our well-being, and of the
social responsibility architects have in creating the built environ-
ment in general and dwellings in particular.

Interloop—Architecture is a Houston-based design office found-
ed in 2001 by principals Dawn Finley and Mark Wamble, who
both also teach at Rice University’s School of Architecture. The
firm’s focus is on innovative building technologies, inventive
forms, and precise material finishes. Their project types range
from the design of custom furniture and textures to private resi-
dences, research complexes, and cultural institutions.

System of Novelties is the first book on Interloop—Architecture’s
work to date, tracking the firm’s formation and trajectory. It op-
erates between a monograph and a field guide, presenting novel
works of architectural design within a broader context of influ-
ence, procedures, and techniques that are threaded from project
to project over a period of two decades. It features a diverse col-
lection of built and speculative designs that are framed through
three research topics: Information—Shape, Procedure—As-
sembly, and Material—Pattern. All this is supplemented with
graphic notes that synthetically connect the unique and recur-
ring systems engaged in this innovative architectural practice.
System of Novelties offers unique insights on innovative forms
of contemporary practice in architecture and demonstrates the         A unique hybrid between monograph

Social housing has a long tradition in Europe. Since the early
20th century, these often anonymously built and unappreciated
structures have arisen all across the suburbs of Europe’s major
cities. In the multidisciplinary and international research project
Mapping Public Housing, the Center for Studies in Architecture
and Urbanism at the University of Porto’s Faculty of Architecture
has been tracing the architectural heritage of social housing.
The findings demonstrate that, in many cases, vibrant neighbor-
hoods and entire city districts have emerged from such social
housing programs.

This book takes a closer look at exemplary developments in
Germany, Great Britain, Portugal, Switzerland, and Spain. The
case studies cover a wide range of social and historical contexts,
from the beginnings of social housing in Portugal sparked by
German investment during World War I to the propaganda poli-
cies associated with subsidized housing for the working class in
the 1940s, and to sustainable concepts and ideas for the future.
Hidden in Plain Sight offers a wide-ranging panorama that recog-
nizes the development of subsidized residential construction as       An insightful compendium on the
a part of Europe's cultural history and traces the important role     development of state-subsidized
that state-funded housing has played in the emergence of the
European welfare state.
