2G #95 - Baukunst

2G International Architecture Magazine

The newest title in the 2G series delves into the world of the Belgian/Swiss practice BAUKUNST - committed to exploring architecture as a medium with which both to think about building and build ways of thinking Baukunst is involved with ever larger and more complex buildings, but their architectural practice has always maintained a high level of abstraction. Projects begin as theoretical propositions, and remain so, regardless of their realisation on site. Built or unbuilt, they all exist...

Between 2010 and 2020, Caruso St John expanded its reputation for sensitive and characterful architecture through a remarkable range of projects.

Fake Designs of Japanese Architecture

Gaden Books

The third volume in the Bau Kunst series, ‘Fake Designs of Japanese Architecture’ turns the research focus inward to Japan and investigates pre-modern wooden architecture. The study questions the apparent harmony of structure and space in medieval Japanese buildings, suggesting that it may in fact be a carefully constructed illusion – a layered relationship between structure and appearance. The book begins with a reprint of writings on Japanese architecture from international sources,...

Soren Pihlmann & Kristoffer Lindhardt Weiss - Thoravej 29

The Danish Architectural Press

Slabs tilt into stairways, facades become pavements, and doors morph into furniture: every element is utilised in Thoravej 29. The project by Pihlmann Architects is a concept beyond a physical building, repurposing itself and showcasing reused components by amplifying what already exists, aspiring to be an experimental approach for societal participation and systemic change. This book traces the transformation of the former factory from 1967 into a vibrant community hub. It documents every...

Herman Hertzberger - Shaping freeedom: Architecture 1959-2025

Hertzberger, Herman
Amsterdam

HERTZBERGER

This book, a reflection on Herman Hertzberger’s legacy, spanning from 1959 to today, is as much about making architecture as it is about world-making. The Dutch architect never considered his works as stand-alone objects, but rather as parts of webs of connections on different scales. In this collection of texts, photographs, drawings, his own work, and architecture and art by others, all of these layers come together to form a universe of inspirations, ideas, and solutions – in Hertzberger’s...
