Khudi Bari

In Bangladesh, flooding is becoming more frequent as a result of climate change, forcing countless people to find new homes. In response, Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum and her team have developed the Khudi Bari - Little House: A low-cost structure that can be assembled, disassembled, transported, and reassembled in another location by the inhabitants themselves. A Khudi Bari has been erected on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein as an example of an architectural approach and a concrete response to problems exacerbated by the climate crisis. This accompanying publication contains texts, photographs and illustrations of the building, which forms an important part of the ongoing architectural dialogue on the campus.

Programmed for Hope

"This book traces the legacy of the Department Building at the Ulm School of Design .... Today, the open spirit of Ulm feels more urgent than ever …" (Georg Vrachliotis, Head of the Architecture Department, TU Delft).This book traces the legacy of the Department Building at the Ulm School of Design, where experimentation and intellectual rigor redefined modern architecture. Rooted in critical thinking and knowledge exchange, it brought together design, science, and creativity to address architecture’s complex challenges. "Today, the open spirit of Ulm feels more urgent than ever, reshaping how we inhabit and imagine the future of our data-driven world." - Georg Vrachliotis, Head of the Architecture Department, TU Delft

Barragán outside Barragán

This publication is based on an illustrated talk presented by architect and historian Fernanda Canales in June 2024 at the Vitra Design Museum, as part of the Barragán Lec-ture series. It focuses on the Mexican architect Luis Barragán (1902-1988), whose work occupies a permanent place in the canon of twentieth-century architecture and continues to fas-cinate architectural scholars, connoisseurs and enthusiasts. In her lecture, Fernanda Canales deftly interwove Barragán's biography with his major built works, which are characterised by a skilful approach to spatial and chromatic atmospheres and environments. Following the traces found in his extensive private library, his travels, the exhibitions he saw and his per-sonal and professional friendships, she took the audience on a multifaceted journey through space and time, providing a concentrated overview of Barragán's creative work from the late 1920s to the 1980s.

Architecture Connecting

Architecture Connecting: Living Structures is the first book accompanying a new exhibition series at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art and presents three design studios with a diverse use of biology and biochemistry as a basis for their practises: ecoLogicStudio, Atelier LUMA and Jenny Sabin Studio. Conscious of our connection to all living things and tracking technological advances, not least in artificial intelligence tools, the studios are developing new methods to review issues of sustainable architecture and climate concerns. This book unfolds their practices, highlighting some of their most important projects. The richly illustrated catalog also comprises a conversation between each design studio and an expert in the field of architecture: Jan Boelen from Atelier Luma in conversation with Hashim Sarkis, Jenny Sabin in conversation with Mette Ramsgaard and EcoLogic Studio in conversation with Mario Carpo.ecoLogicStudio, founded by Marco Poletto and Claudia Pasquero, is a design studio in London working with biodigital architecture. With a focus on climate and Carbon neutrality, they research how photosynthesis can be incorporated into architecture. Atelier LUMA is the research design lab of LUMA Arles, France, working with bioregional design and architecture. They have built their own studio by mapping and identifying the local resources of the unique bioregion of Camargue. Jenny Sabin is an architect and researcher, working at the crossroads between architecture and science. Theory and knowledge from biology and mathematics help to develop new digital tools, materials and architectural structures that work in interaction with people and nature.
