Wow! 🎉🍾🥂 Last week, our newly completed exhibition "Explore Space!" was announced as The Best New Permanent Exhibition in Estonia! The exhibition, located in our vaulted basement gallery, teaches how to experience space and grasp the essence of architecture. The environment created offers experiences for different senses, inviting everyone interested in architecture to smell and touch architecture and experience it with their whole body. Make sure to come check it out when in Tallinn, especially when with children :) The exhibition was masterminded by a whole bunch of talented people, the main architects being Kadri Klementi, Katrin Koov and Kaire Nõmm.

Beyond Petropolis Designing a Practical Utopia in Nueva Loja

Preface by Michael Sorkin Essays by Matthias Altwicker / Ana María Durán Calisto / Patrick Radden Keefe / David Leven / Michael Sorkin / Achva Benzinberg Stein and Osvaldo Paladines Zurita Edited by Michael Sorkin / Ana María Durán Calisto and Matthias Altwicker Each year, the Graduate Program in Urban Design at The City College of New York travels to a city somewhere in the world that is experiencing a revelatory form of stress. In January of 2006 joined by students and faculty from the Universidad Catolica in Quito and from the architecture and landscape programs at CCNY – the destination of the group was the small town of Nueva Loja in the Amazon basin of Ecuador. 

At the time, a population of around 100,000 was expanding exponentially. Nueva Loja was the fastest growing municipality in the country. There was one reason for this: the oil boom. Indeed, almost everyone calls the place “Lago Agrio” – Bitter Lake, after the town in Texas that houses the headquarters of Texaco, the first petroleum giant on the scene. There’s little irony in this name. As the endless lawsuit against Chevron, Texaco’s successor, has made abundantly clear, Lago’s growth has come at the cost of extremely bitter consequences. The group was inspired to visit by a more particular observation: Lago’s projected rate of growth would see the population exceed 150,000 at just the moment the oil ran out. And so, they decided to investigate what might happen then, how Nueva Loja could move beyond oil to an economy and urban pattern that embrace renewed harmony with the natural environment and is dedicated to creating an intensely humane and supportive place for its inhabitants.

The projects in this volume represent a series of propositions for such a place. They are utopian in that they look to a time of harmony and prosperity but intensely practical in that they stem from the specifics of people and place and utilize simple, historical, and local technologies, not any magic fix.

Transformations in Classical Architecture | New Directions in Research and Practice

Edited by Victor Deupi Preface by Rodolphe el-Khoury Introduction by Victor Deupi Essays by Jean-François Lejeune, Rocco Ceo, Victor Deupi & Eric Firley, Nathaniel Walker, Juan Yactayo, Andres Duany, Javier Cenicacelaya, Richard John Postscript by Victor Deupi

A quiet revolution is unfolding in the realm of classical architecture today, as the environmental, technological, and economic demands of contemporary practice require levels of efficiency that were never previously expected. This new wave of modern classicism reflects a progressive approach, addressing the pressing needs of the present and future fabric of our cities, towns and landscapes. This book examines how classical - and traditional - architecture can evolve in relation to new paradigms of research and practice (digital media and fabrication, sustainability, ecology, and emerging economies). Based on recent work by leading figures associated with the University of Miami School of Architecture, and a series of design studios at the university (the William H. Harrison Visiting Critics in Classical Architecture), the book redefines the new classical discourse in terms of popular, professional, and academic appeal.

Displaced Llonch+Vidalle Architecture

Foreword by George Ranalli Introduction by Michael Sorkin Essays by Mario Corea and Paul Guzzardo Edited by Oscar Riera Ojeda

The work of Fabian Llonch and Gisela Vidalle  presented here in an eye -opening survey- is marvelous for its imaginative seamlessness, and the way in which the artist’s truth always shines through the circumstances of its articulation. Here is architecture of inseparable form and thought. The thirteen projects in this book are felled with the fervor and energy of an architect who also teaches young architects. Fabian Llonch and Gisela Vidalle are part of a small group of architects who understand the importance of the relationship between teaching and practice, its place at that intricate and inde finable nexus of architecture and its theory in which architecture schools are hothouses for the incubation of ideas in architecture and design.

Figueras Polo Stables Estudio Ramos (Masterpiece Series)

Introduction by Byron Hawes Epilogue by Juan Ignacio Ramos Photography by Oberto Gili / Daniela Mc Adden / Matias Lix Klett and Celeste Najt Edited by Oscar Riera Ojeda

Some architectural endeavours require more than designed beauty. Their purpose, in and of itself, requires repose, serenity, poetry. Estudio Ramos’ Figueras Stables is just such a place; a respite from the everyday possessed of a deep-seated relationship with its environment and an intuitive sense of purpose 3850 sq/mof stables are articulated in a long, volumetric space of mixed-use.

Social spaces about grooming and training facilities, sloped land ramps to a roof planted with wild grass, sheathing the building within its surroundings. Water, that universal symbol of life, purity, and harmony, is used to connect and articulate spaces. Much more than an aesthetic masterwork, Figueras Stable is a structure quietly and elegantly assisting a calling. One that Cormac McCarthy called ‘seeing into a creature’s soul and soothing the wounds found there. Secrets uttered softly into troubled ears’.

Book Size: 8.5 x 11 in / 215.9 x 279.4 mm                                   Format: Portrait                   Pages: 248                     Language: English           Photographs: 220         Illustrations: 55         Edition: Hardcover (978-1-946226-08-2)

Generic Specific Continuum Julio Salcedo / Scalar Architecture

Foreword by Luis Rojo de Castro Text by Julio Salcedo Essay by Ivan Rupnik Edited by Oscar Riera Ojeda

This book presents the work of the Spanish architect Julio Salcedo in a series of built and speculative projects. Salcedo’s houses, early achievements that stunned both academic and professional circles with their fresh originality and precocious sophistication, are presented along with unpublished competition proposals for large-scale buildings.

The projects’ varying locales, scales, and ambitions all demonstrate a commitment to architecture as a conceptual medium with the capacity to tackle complex ideas as well as a material practice of transformative, worldly practicality. Each is a built essay that works through architectural problems of form, construction, and material to archive thought-provoking resolutions of a difIcult yet satisfying beauty.

Ineffable Architecture, Computation and the Inexpressible

Ineffable documents a timely and invaluable debate surrounding the use of computational tools in architecture and their effect on the nature of human expression. A distinguished group of architects, educators, and theoreticians discuss both the potential benefits as well as the perils associated with the recent turn to ever increasing computational complexity in contemporary design culture. Topics considered include: architecture in the post human era; the value and role of history within a computational paradigm; the relationship between humans and machines for the future of architecture; computers and design pedagogy; and digital-phenomenology in architecture. With essays from leading figures and 260 color photographs, illustrations, and drawings, Ineffable is for anyone interested in learning more about the political, social, and theoretical implications of the computer revolution in architecture.

Figures Essays on Contemporary Architecture
