Modern Architecture of Quito

Sussex is filled with well-hidden treasures to discover that take you off the beaten path. Secret Sussex is the ultimate travel guide to Sussex unknown, designed for lifelong locals, curious visitors and armchair travellers alike, looking to move away from the tourist crowds in search of the unique, unusual and overlooked.

An unusual guide

Secret Sussex

A beautifully arresting photographic record of North American coaling towers, which once fueled steam locomotives and powered the country. A fine art photography must-have for railroad enthusiasts and anyone interested in the industrial golden era. In 1906, America commenced a major railroad modernization project, driven by massive industrial era investment and development. A lasting symbol of this time in history remains today: the imposing coaling towers that pepper the country and which once held the coal that powered steam locomotives. Over the course of five years and 20,000 miles, photographer Jeff Brouws documented these towers. Silent Monoliths tells their story. The towers, built of concrete, a modern material with historical roots traceable to the Roman aqueducts, were constructed to replace aging (and less fire-retardant and less efficient) wooden coaling wharves and chutes. As the railroads transitioned from steam to diesel in the late 1940s and throughout the 1950s, most of these coaling towers slipped into obsolescence—some demolished, others “retired-in-place” and left standing. As a result of the latter, many examples of these sculptural, architectonic remnants of industrial brawn stand in silence across North America—from Flomaton, Alabama, to the northernmost reaches of Ontario, Canada; as far west as Glenns Ferry, Idaho, to the eastern seaboard in New Haven, Connecticut. Essays from industrial and railroad historian John Hankey and art historian Marcella Hackbardt illuminate the significance of these otherworldly relics. In the spirit of Hilla and Bernd Becher, Brouws’ photographic portfolio presents over 105 examples of these austere monoliths, conveying their unique place in cultural history.

The Coaling Tower Project

Silent Monoliths

A giant crane in a supermarket, a portrait of Mussolini in Little Italy, Canada’s only Coadaist temple, a monument to
the world’s strongest man, wrestling in a church, surfing on the Saint Lawrence River, a giant milk bottle, a gas station
built by famous architect Mies van der Rohe...and much more.
Far from the crowds and the usual clichés, Montreal only reveals its hidden treasures to residents and visitors who
venture off the beaten track.
An indispensable guide for those who thought they knew Montreal well or those wishing to discover another facet of the city.

Design Research in Architecture

Perry Kulper and Nat Chard work with conditions of uncertainty, developing a contingent architecture that provokes and absorbs the unforeseen as well as the more predictable relationships into which architecture can enter. In mainstream practice and research there is an emphasis on achieving a certain outcome. Those who wish to have a building made make a prediction - what they want to take place - while the architect attempts to make that prediction come true. In Kulper and Chard's work the outcome is unknown- they have developed their own working and research practices to take this into account. In different ways, they both use the act of making drawings as a way of engaging with uncertain conditions and enrolling a range of incomplete relationships. By acting on these sorts of relations they are breaking new ground by taking up the unpredictable, a marginal area relative to the ordained territories claimed for architectural discussions. Without the need or desire for a single resolved project they work in parallel, Kulper in a basement in Ann Arbor, Michigan and Chard from his attic in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The work of one is contaminated by the arrival of a new drawing or reference from the other, while the reflection on the exchanged material comes from the other person's position rather than confirming an agreed target. This condition is heighted by an unspoken policy of exchanging work with very little commentary so that any disturbance provided by these reflections is sincere and without contrivance. While Kulper and Chard have established rigor in their respective research methods, their collaboration disrupts the stability that such discipline provides. It is a collaboration that provides the sort of disturbances that bring a helpful and real uncertainty to the process of design. Proposing architecture for uncertain conditions touches many paradoxes and the work plays with paradox to nurture uncertainty - as another source of disturbance. The work also

Postmigrantische Studien

Vieles, was wir heute als national oder homogen wahrnehmen, ist ein Ergebnis von weltweiter Vermischung und Übersetzung. Längst haben globale Einflüsse in lokale Lebensstile Einzug gehalten: ob virtuelle Kontakte im Internet, Freundschaften über Ländergrenzen hinweg, Fernreisen, Tai-Chi oder Yogakurse, chinesische Küche, argentinischer Tango oder das Engagement in einer internationalen Organisation. Von der ersten Migrationsgeneration über die 'postmigrantischen' Nachkommen bis hin zu 'Alteingesessenen' - Erol Yildiz macht deutlich, dass wir alle längst dabei sind, in einer globalisierten Gesellschaft und inmitten gesellschaftlicher Umbrüche auf individuelle Weise mehr- und weltheimisch zu werden.

Postmigrantisch denken

A visually rich and engaging monograph on the life and works of Thomas Archer, one of the most overlooked architects of the English Baroque. The book will cover some of the most famous buildings and landscapes of the eighteenth century and highlight the skill of an architect who has lain outside of the architectural mainstream for too long.

Greening by Design

The Middle Front is the first-ever monograph on La Dallman Architects,&nbsp;a Milwaukee-based firm with offices also in Boston and Miami. Lavishly illustrated, it articulates a profound architectural stance amid the extremes of radical innovation and banal convention. The firm's founding principals, Grace La and James Dallman, explore this middle ground through designs that navigate between avant-garde aesthetics and pragmatic solutions.Their reflective book-born from their formative years and experiences at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and subsequent practice in Milwaukee, Wisconsin-rejects both the spectacle of the avant-garde and the ubiquity of conventional forms. It engages with architecture's potential in a complex world, seeking a balanced, inclusive disciplinary approach. The Middle Frontunfolds through essays and featured projects, demonstrating La Dallman Architects' commitment to a nuanced, contextually responsive architecture that embraces the challenges and opportunities of urban and environmental complexities. It invites a reexamination of architectural practice, advocating for a responsive, thoughtful approach that values depth and connection over mere novelty or tradition.
