Valerio Olgiati’s latest book is about the beauty of the very varied
buildings designed by the Swiss architect, captured in color pho-
tographs and plans. The fifteen projects, around half of them re-
alized since the publication of Olgiati’s most recent monograph
in 2018, are featured in this exquisite small volume for the first
time as finished buildings.
Indoor and outdoor shots show Olgiati’s intuition for spectacular
buildings and atmospheric interiors—from the museum for the
UNESCO world cultural heritage site in Bahrain to the Céline
flagship store in Miami, from the office building for Baloise In-
surance’s headquarters in Basel to the bedroom of the French
fashion designer Nicolas Ghesquière, from the visitor center of
the Swiss National Park to the atelier for the musician Linard
Bardill in Scharans.
The projects are presented through color photographs, floor
plans, and sections. The elegant book design follows the style of
Olgiati’s highly successful previous book, The Images of Architects.
Selection of buildings featured in the book:
- Baloise Park Ost office building in Basel, CH
- UNESCO museum and visitor center for
Pearling Site in Muharraq, BH

Basel-based architects Daniel Buchner and Andreas Bründler
established their studio in 1997 and soon gained wide recog-
nition for their designs. Today, Buchner Bründler Architects
ranks among the leading Swiss firms of the younger generation.
This book, their second major monograph, features around fif-
teen completed projects from 2010 to 2020 in rich detail. The
selection comprises new buildings as well as significant recon-
structions, with a focus on housing designs of various size and
type in Switzerland and Germany. This is supplemented by a
heavily illustrated survey of another fifty buildings and unreal-
ized projects. In total, this lavish volume features some 1,500
photographs, sketches, plans, and visualizations, most of them
previously unpublished.
Yet Buchner Bründler—Buildings II does not merely bring togeth-
er images of individual buildings. Instead, it places them in a
larger context with concise texts that explore as well historic,
social, and economical aspects of the specific location. More-
over, the renowned Swiss book designer Ludovic Balland and his
collaborator Annina Schepping have experimented with a range
of photographic methods and techniques. Their artistic inter-
pretations of Buchner Bründler’s buildings complete a stun-

Over a period of ten years, as part of their joint teaching at the
Technical University of Munich, British architect Stephen Bates
and his Zurich-based colleague Bruno Krucker explored, inves-
tigated, and analyzed the Bavarian capital in collaboration with
their students. The resulting in-depth study evaluates the city’s
building history and ideas for its future in detail, and is now being

in 2019 after more than a decade of planning and construction
work. The vast structure runs along the Bay of Algiers’ shoreline
for well over 650 yards. A giant 230 feet-high dome covers the
main prayer hall, and the 870 feet-high minaret constitutes Af-
rica’s tallest building to date. Surrounded by extensive gardens,

tecten provides a comprehensive overview of their most import-

also in Paris and São Paulo, gained wide renown through com-

typology and method. The range includes include government
offices, museums, urban development projects, as well as
buildings for health care, education, and research.
The fifteen designs documented in the book are presented as
different characters with varying physiognomies, but which be-
long to the same family and feature similar traits, hence also the
title of the book. KAAN Architecten invite us to view the projects
with different eyes and to trace their evolution.

metropolitan areas, demands a high degree of interdisciplinary
specialist knowledge from city planners, urban researchers,
local politicians, and activists. In practice, however, they find
themselves increasingly confronted with the chaotic and often
contradictory realities of urban life. How can one productively
and creatively handle this globally networked yet also radically
fragmented, and increasingly unequal, urban world?
By understanding urbanism as a pedagogical concept of prac-
tice, renowned researchers and lecturers on the Critical Urban-
ism MA program at the University of Basel present innovative
approaches to understanding the city in the 21st century. Their
contributions offer assistance in gaining a differentiated view
of the urban cosmos today and of how to arrive at designs that
meet the manifold demands. They also cast a critical glance at
historical injustices that continue to shape the urban present,
to derive new forms of engagement with an alternative urban
future from this comparison.

the creation of a better built environment? Is there a factual ba-
sis to it? Does it have a duty to present evidence in the evaluation
of a building? Or should it take on what architects say about their
designs? In the context of a flat internet, should architectural
criticism be able to define best practices? Does it wield the pow-
er over who is in and who is out?
Architectural criticism is at a crucial juncture. While serious ar-
chitecture struggles for recognition, much so-called architec-
tural criticism is merely a poorly paid, decorative legitimation for
hyperbolic practice. Incisive architectural criticism is rare, while
the definition of criticism itself has become opaque.
The 2021 International Conference on Architecture Criticism
has gathered exceptional papers that define the purposes and
methods of architectural criticism: What should be the ethical
basis of architectural criticism? Can it be objective in the context
of paid content? Should it outline ideal practices? Or what else
should it do? All contributions in this book address either the A rich collection of essays that

Moroccan coastal city of Agadir, erasing it almost entirely and
killing a third of its population. The world was shocked, and very
quickly large amounts of international aid arrived. Following an
emotional speech by King Mohammed V, the reconstruction of
Agadir also turned into an undertaking of national and inter-
national solidarity. A new and unprecedented process of urban
construction was developed that allowed many architects—na-
tional and international—to simultaneously design the new city.
The result of this joint effort was astounding. In a very short
time, the new Agadir rose from the ashes. The best Moroccan
and international architects experimented with novel housing
typologies, which mediated between ultramodern and vernacu-
lar ways of dwelling, complemented by innovative public struc-
tures, such as schools, dispensaries, and cinemas. All of these
combined into an original urban reality: a modern Afropolis.
This book for the first time thoroughly explores the forgotten tale
of Agadir’s reconstruction. It features previously unpublished ar-
chival documents and striking period photographs, as well as

motive hybrids, and deconstructivist housing projects: during
the 1980s, “paper architects” in Novosibirsk, all of them grad-
uates of the Siberian Civil Engineering Institute, created fantas-
tical utopian designs. Contrary to the commonly held belief that
these architectural designs made of paper and created during
the late years of a crumbling Soviet Union were never intended
to be translated into buildings, the Novosibirsk group actually
devoted themselves to a practical application of their ideas. The
designs for the kolkhozy (collective forms) in Bolshevik, Gusel-
nikovo, and Nizhny-Ugryum show signs of concrete planning
deliberations, integrated into pastoral and often fairy tale—like
scenes of country life with tractor stations and witches suspend-
ed in the sky. Inspired by Eastern European post-punk, local
radical-constructivist projects, and European postmodernism,
the Siberian paper architects created a whole range of autoch-
thonous stylistic figures and techniques that have a clear and
distinct style. This Novosibirsk style clearly differs from the
works by members of the better-known Moscow group of pa-
per architects, such as Alexander Brodsky, Ilya Utkin, and Yuri
Avvakumov.

public sites of broadcasting, experimentation, position-taking,
and the interrogation of fundamental aspects of the designed
environment. Just as individual exhibitions have constituted
key benchmarks within the disciplinary history of architecture,
the representation and display of space through exhibitions
has operated historically as a crucial medium for shaping and
embodying broader cultural attitudes toward the design of the
built world. In recent years, the specific formats and challeng-
es of exhibiting architecture and design, both built and specu-
lative, have often been used as critical devices for identifying,
communicating, and convening publics around shared matters
of concern. These have increasingly included urgent questions
of equity and justice, labor, gender, race, class, community, and
lifestyle in relation to spatial issues of density, economy, policy, A critical discussion of individual

car is a prime example of a bottom-up development-aid project
based on pragmatism and with the goal of self-empowerment.
When Viktor Bänziger, who runs a bar in the heart of Zurich,
visited Madagascar as a tourist in 2015, he was struck by the
severe poverty and difficult living conditions of the local popula-
tion and decided to act. In close collaboration with Zurich-based
architect Nele Dechmann and the president of Advan FC, Titus
Solohery Andriamananjara, the project for a new soccer field
and surrounding buildings was developed. The complex, which
is soundly based on local building knowledge and construction
methods, gives local children the opportunity to develop their
soccer skills and, more importantly, to receive minimal reading
and writing lessons after training and to have meals together.
The remote location in Madagascar’s mountains and the tight
budget suggested a simple typology that conveys a common
architectural language despite the different uses of individual
buildings. A key part of the entire concept is a simple manual for Manual for collaborative

sibilities to the local community.

At a time when architectural and urban studies are moving towards seeking to accept

need for experiments on the ground is becoming increasingly urgent. In recent years, a
growing number of architects and urban designers have committed themselves to the
idea that these settlements are here to stay and require selective intervention in order
to achieve better living conditions.
