Sigurd Lewerentz (1885–1975) is one of the most highly re-
vered—as well as one of the most heavily mythologized—pro-
tagonists of modern European architecture. Arguably Sweden’s
most distinguished modernist, he is more influential for archi-
tects around the world today than he was during his lifetime.
Countless architecture lovers from around the world visit his
still existent buildings. Stockholm’s woodland cemetery Skog-
skyrkogården, his most significant contribution to landscape
design, is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
This authoritative new monograph on Sigurd Lewerentz is
based on extensive research undertaken at ArkDes, Sweden’s
national center for architecture and design, where his archive
and personal library are kept. It features a wealth of drawings
and sketches, designs for furniture and interiors, model photo-

St. Mark’s Church in Björkhagen, a southern district of Stock-
holm, is one of Sigurd Lewerentz’s (1885–1975) key designs. But
unlike Lewerentz’s other famous church, St Peter’s in Klippan,
no book has been published to date that constitutes a fitting trib-
ute to this masterpiece of brick brutalism.
This opulent new building monograph now fills this gap. Some

Shanghai-based Atelier Deshaus, founded in 2001 as one of the
first private architectural firms in China, ranks among the coun-
try’s most important and innovative design studios. The archi-
tects made a name for themselves worldwide in 2014 with the
much-acclaimed West Bund site for Shanghai’s Long Museum,
which they followed up with a series of further museum and
other art-related projects. Cultural and community buildings of
various scale are the main focus of Atelier Deshaus, who delib-
erately eschew the usual commercial construction tasks to be
found in China. After decades of a tabula rasa policy in the city’s
urban development, the firm’s formally strong buildings are de-
veloped from a careful reading of each site with special attention
given to the preservation of Shanghai’s industrial heritage.
At the core of this first monograph are Atelier Deshaus’ twenty
most important designs from two decades. They are document-
ed in rich detail through plans and images as well as concise ex-
planatory texts by the architects. In a wide-ranging conversation

Duplex Architects were founded in 2007 in Zurich and now also
run offices in Düsseldorf, Hamburg, and, most recently, in Paris.
They have gained an excellent reputation internationally for their
designs of various scales and across a vast range of typologies.
This first monograph on Duplex Architects’ work in Germany
and Switzerland offers a close look at their approach to housing
design. Five projects in Switzerland are documented extensively
through a wealth of images, plans, and visualizations, exempli-
fying the firm’s position on urban planning, typology research,
and materiality and demonstrating their utterly independent
way of working. Urban scale, search for new forms of communal
living, the importance of community, and a collaborative design
process are at the core of Duplex Architects’ explorations into
residential architecture.
Nele Dechmann’s text and Ludovic Balland’s photo essay serve
to illuminate Duplex Architects’ work each in their own way. Fur-
ther texts are contributed by the firm’s founding partners Anne
Kaestle and Dan Schürch, as well as by other expert authors,
who cast their own personal glance at the five projects featured Duplex Architects exemplify
in this book. innovative housing design

it can contribute to urban

house designed by George Washington Snow, timber framing—
also known at the time as “Chicago construction”—introduced
softwood construction to the world. The easy availability of the
principal material, its simplicity of construction, along with an
ability to be erected by low-skilled or unskilled workers, and the
growing economies and populations of the American Midwest
proliferated an architecture that has since dominated America’s
built landscape and erased typological and class distinctions of
architectural production. Both rich and poor live in houses that
are built the same way: all framing is the same and all framing
is good.
American Framing: The Same Something for Everyone is both a
visual and written exploration of the conditions and effects of
these ubiquitous structures. Archival drawings and historical
images along with newly commissioned photographs by Linda
Robbennolt, Daniel Shea, and Chris Strong, as well as plans and
drawings, show this quintessentially American type of construc-
tion that has paved the way for an all-American architecture.

world’s first purpose-built public art gallery. Founded in 1811,
when Sir Francis Bourgeois RA bequeathed his collection of old
masters “for the inspection of the public,” it opened its famous
building designed by John Soane in 1817. To mark the museum’s
bicentenary in 2017, Dulwich Picture Gallery commissioned the
first temporary summer pavilion on its grounds.
For the second edition of the Dulwich Pavilion in 2019, the com-
mission was awarded to London-based architects Dingle Price
and Alex Gore in collaboration with British artist Yinka Ilori. The
elegant large-format book documents this piece of built poetry
in a series of striking atmospheric photographs by Sophie Roy-
croft. Concise essays by Job Floris and Sumayya Vally situate
the project within its social, political, and cultural context and
are complemented by technical details and selected plans and
drawings on and inside the book’s cover.

Ross, who works at the interface of photography, film, and instal-
lation. His images of architectural mock-ups—staged at night
with dramatic lighting that isolates the structures from their
surroundings—demonstrate how these objects have become a
kind of proto-architecture. They also change how we view the
practice of architecture by documenting and framing unseen
aspects of its emergence. Built at full scale, these architectural
fragments—to be removed from construction sites as buildings
near completion—ensure that a project can be executed exactly
to design, and they provide clients with a simulation of a build-
ing that leaves little space for speculation. The task of mock-up
documentation is usually left to architects and contractors, who
take quick snapshots as a reference tool during site visits.
Archetypes is the first-ever photographic compilation of this type.
Reaching beyond a mere artistic record of building technologies
and typologies, the book instead offers an effective platform for
discussion about what it means to pre-construct fragments of
buildings in all their complexity. Published alongside Ross’s im-
ages are four essays focusing on the historical, technological,
and political significance of the mock-up. Archetypes offers an

rary artists in Switzerland. In 2017 she was awarded the Prix
Meret Oppenheim as well as a studio grant from Landis & Gyr
Stiftung that enabled her to embark on an extended stay in Lon-
don’s East End. There she discovered the Idea Store, the public
library on Whitechapel Road built by British architect David Ad-
jaye in 2001–05. Upon its opening to the public, this institution
quickly became a meeting place for a broad spectrum of soci-
ety including for socially disadvantaged people. The goal of the
Idea Stores—eight of them have so far opened in various London
boroughs—is to enhance formerly neglected neighborhoods and
offer a low-threshold source of education and information.
From inside that initial Idea Store on Whitechapel Road, Daniela
Keiser began to take pictures of the goings-on in the street out-
side. Her Library—Idea Store series reveals a calm, repetitive
but insistent image of the city and offers insight into the small
everyday variations of the surrounding world. Her photograph-
ic reflection is accompanied by a conversation between David

to create a visual epic. The result is a one-of-a-kind presenta-
tion of the new road maintenance base near Bernina Pass, de-
signed by renowned Swiss firm Bearth & Deplazes Architekten,
in a seemingly arctic winter landscape. Baselgia explored the
territory along the road and railway line with his analogue cam-
era. His images also draw a connection between the existing in-
frastructures for traffic and energy production—built over the
course of the landscape’s industrialization and continued devel-
opment since the late 19th century—to the architecture of the
new maintenance base.
A concavely curved shield wall topped by a round tower is all that

Structure and Expression presents newly gained knowledge on
timber construction and on timber joints in particular.
This book—lavishly illustrated with plans, sketches, and photo-
graphs—emerged from an international educational coopera-
tion of the University of Liechtenstein in Vaduz, the Norwegian
University of Science and Technology NTNU in Trondheim,
and the Academy of Architecture in Amsterdam. The program
looked at a vast range of timber joints from different theoret-
ical and practical perspectives. Students conceived and made
by hand new joints that were then applied in prototypes for en-
tire structures, also designed as part of the course, at a scale of
1:5. By analyzing this learning process, the book provides a new
overview of the topic of timber joints in architecture through text
and images. New findings on timber joints:
presenting results from a practice-
based educational cooperation of
European universities

in search for lessons about communal land
ownership in a globalized capitalist age
Highlights the conflicts arising from the
protection of vast privately owned stretches
of land vs. the needs of a densely populated
country in regard to ecological and economic
development
Visualizes recent research findings by EPFL’s
Laboratory Basel (laba) in striking informative
graphics, maps, and photographs
Features proposals for architectural
interventions by laba’s students
England’s West Country and its local traces
of the manorial system are the subject of
the concluding volume of the successful
Teaching and Research in Architecture series
produced by EPFL’s Laboratory Basel (laba)
Our contemporary condition, governed by the abstract capitalist market, demands a
critical reading of the distribution, ownership, and use of common resources such as
land. This is especially true in Britain with its long history of privatization stemming
from land enclosure. The latest research campaign of Laboratory Basel (laba), a satel-
lite studio of the EPFL in Lausanne, investigated the English manor house and how it
can serve as a testing ground to reassess Britain’s complex and ongoing relationship
with the countryside.
Southwest England is the most rural region of one of the more densely populated
countries in Europe. It reflects all the absurdities of a globalized country under pres-
sure to develop economically, physically, and environmentally. Highly protected land- Harry Gugger, Sarah Barth, Augustin
