EL CROQUIS 190: RCR ARQUITECTES

2012 – 2017
El Croquis, El Escorial 2017
Based in Catalonia, Rafael Aranda, Carme
Pigem, and Ramón Vilalta have developed
a radical type of architecture that is both
stylistically and physically grounded in its
local context as well as committed to nature.
Key themes in the work of RCR Arquitectes
include connections between indoor and
outdoor spaces, the passing of time, structure
and materiality, and the dematerialisation of
spaces. This instalment covers more than 20
recent projects from around the globe.

CEES DAM ON ARCHITECTURE. VISIONS

AND DREAMS*
nai010 Publishers, Rotterdam 2017
According to Cees Dam, architecture is first
and foremost a trade, one that has to be
learned. But architecture is also an art form.
The architect is meant to develop ideas alone
and intuitively and adapt them to functional
and economic laws later. An architect as well
as professor at the architecture faculty of Delft
University of Technology, Dam has published
numerous articles on architecture. This book
gathers his most fundamental texts about the
architectural practice.

THE LIFE AND WORK OF THOMAS

KARSTEN
Architectura & Natura, Amsterdam 2017
Thomas Karsten (1884 –1945) was one of a
small group of modern Dutch architects who
developed their careers in the Dutch East
Indies in the first half of the 20th century.
Karsten and his contemporaries laid the
foundations of modern urban Indonesia,
but until now his work has not received the
international prominence it deserves. Both a
biography and architectural history, this book
pays tribute to Karsten’s work and legacy.

Avisa, Madrid 2017
From his first buildings completed in
Houston, Texas, in the 1980s and ’90s, which
earned him international recognition, Carlos
Jiménez’s architecture has evolved to address
different scales and programmes. Yet his
vision has always maintained an attention
to context, interest in typological research,
and a pursuit of total complicity with the
client. Covering three decades of work, this
monograph is illustrated with photographs by
Paul Hester and the architect’s own sketches.

ZAHA HADID IN ITALY

Quodlibet, Rome 2017
Zaha Hadid’s success is no doubt linked to
her capacity to build images of remarkable
power. This volume, published with an
exhibition at MAXXI, is not just a tribute to
the great architect. Instead, she is portrayed
in terms of her relationship with Italy and
her interest in its culture. The dynamic
inspirations of the Baroque period in Rome,
the kaleidoscopic visions of Futurism, and the
experimental research of Luigi Moretti and
Pier Luigi Nervi are just some of the explicit
references in her work.

PEZO VON ELLRICHSHAUSEN –

EXTERIOR
Arkitektur B, Copenhagen 2017
The Chilean art and architecture studio of
Mauricio Pezo and Sofia von Ellrichshausen
presents a counterpart to their self-contained
axonometric structures. The paintings appear
as both abstract and figurative compositions,
with precise articulation through a few basic
elements, and portray the reversible quality
of architectonic spaces. The scale, rawness,
and depth of these simple rooms can be read
as carefully selected fragments taken from a
pervasive and perhaps idealised architecture.

book describes how a public work was
funded using resources deriving from an
urban intervention of a private nature while

well as developed and realised through a

BENGAL STREAM*
Christoph Merian Verlag, Basel 2017
Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, is home
to one of the 20th century’s most important
buildings: the parliamentary building by Louis
Kahn, constructed between 1961 and 1982.
Little is known, however, about the local
architecture scene that has emerged since
that time. Contemporary architecture
in Bangladesh exhibits a strong formal idiom
that has its roots in tradition and is combined
with an innovative use of local resources such
as bamboo and brick.

C3 SPECIAL: GRAFTS
C3 Publishing, Seoul 2017
This special issue’s theme is on grafting
strategies in architecture, which can be seen
as threefold: reinvention asks the question
of what old architecture can offer the new;
preservation implies that the value of history is
for its own sake; and restoration suggests that
the purpose of history is to interact with the
present. Included are sixteen recent buildings
where the designers have skilfully inserted
new architecture into old.

In the age of ubiquitous smartphones and

are generating activity by offering a mix of
recreational programmes, by creating interiors
that invite use, and by making connections
with their context.

a participatory research and design initiative
directed by the RA Lab, a collaboration
between the Urban-Think Tank Chair of
Architecture and Design at ETH Zurich and
local partners in the city. The interdisciplinary
team analysed longer-term processes of
urban decline and generated new ideas for
the Athens city centre that mobilise latent
resources to address the debilitating impacts
of the wider economic and social crisis.

MAKE YOUR CITY: THE CITY AS A HULL –

In cities driven by economic gain there is not
much space for those outside of established
structures. Even if they gain a foothold, they
are obliged to vacate it as soon as more
profitable activities materialise. This book
describes a development strategy that applies
an alternative exploitation model for buildings

THE STATE OF THE DELTA

Uitgeverij Vantilt, Nijmegen 2017
All over the planet, urban growth is taking
place in delta and coastal areas. In the
Netherlands, there is an inextricable link
between hydraulic engineering, urban
design, and nation building. To what extent
can the Dutch experience serve as a model
for other urbanised delta regions? Han
Meyer, professor of urbanism at TU Delft,
examines how this relationship has emerged
and succeeded, and considers both current
conditions and the ways things may develop
in the future.

MAKING URBAN NATURE

Many animal and plant species are now

However, urban nature is fragile and planners

of this book see nature as an integral part of
the urban organism, and as such, important
to the quality of life. They address the theory
of ecology and biodiversity, city-dwelling
species, and the maintenance of urban nature.

conversations that occurred in studios taught
by Guillaume Othenin-Girard and Nigel Peake
between 2012–2014 as part of the first-year
course in architectural design, directed by the
Atelier de la Conception de l’Espace (ALICE)
at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
in Lausanne (EPFL). As with the nature of
tutorials, their conversation would often
stray to other fields – academic, artistic, and
in between.

What does centrality mean for cities today?
Subjects like how “Paris had to be killed to

KARA WALKER – MCMXCIX

ROMA Publications, Amsterdam 2017
Kara Walker began this sketchbook in Munich
in 1999, when she was 29 years old. Like most
sketchbooks it served as a portal between the
real world and the realm of her imagination.
Although it was never intended to be shared,
nevertheless a bit of “work” came out of this
particular book. For the most part the pages
in this sketchbook reflect uneasy, unrefined,
unfinished thoughts and anxieties, written and
drawn with no objectives, no ulterior motives,
and no filters.

the Netherlands. Besides texts and images
covering the history of the fountain’s central
location in the city, and the entire process of
its creation, the book also includes an essay

constructing an almost daily history of the year

pumps and indoor plumbing, even the most

connects these advancements to parallel
progress in photography and its reproduction,
as well as the expansion of the postal service.

ANTONY GORMLEY – LIVING ROOM

Xavier Hufkens, Ghent 2017
Encounters with Antony Gormley’s practice
can be seen as a search for the meaning of
the human figure. Yet his oeuvre possesses
a far more stringent, radical, and systemised
nucleus. Gormley’s earliest pieces were casts
of his own body, though they are copies that
are neither self-portraits nor portraits. He
operates not in biology and psychology, but
rather in geometry and architecture, and
such figures also comfortably inhabit the
white cube.

Vibrant colours and unpretentious materials,

has repurposed the conventional tools of
graphic design – coloured felt-tip pens and
white paper – to produce his most distinctive

of pens on stacks of paper, which over time
produces abstract, organic sequences that
range from bright dots to bleeding pools of
intense colour.

NICO JOANA WEBER – PAINTED DESERT

Interested in the relationships between five
very different places in close proximity to one
another – White Sands National Monument,
Valley of Fires Recreation Area, Three Rivers
Petroglyph Site, New Mexico Museum of
Space History, and the Trinity Site Monument
– where the transience of human and
geological history are equally legible, Weber
refuses to uphold the cliché of the desert

This catalogue accompanies a major group

instruments that make up our technological
infrastructure, as well as to the values they are
designed to enforce.

A hallucinatory night walk in the outskirts of

MARTIEN MULDER – THE CITY BEAUTIFUL

Martien Mulder, New York 2017
After India gained independence in 1947,
Le Corbusier was asked to design the city
of Chandigarh. In realising his modernist
vision, the French architect created what
became known as “The City Beautiful”. While
wandering through this utopian project,
photographer Martien Mulder found a story
in the city’s raw concrete and artful details.
Her images are carefully studied impressions
of its modernist forms, and together comprise
an abstract interpretation of the architect’s

Michael Wolf’s career as a photojournalist, a
freelance photographer, and more recently, an

time has been spent in China and Hong Kong,
where he developed many of the elements
which have become characteristic of his work:
obsessive collecting and the ability to use

This collection of photographs, produced

1949 – a personal project that was met with
dismissive criticism at the time – he returned in
the 1990s to his early fascination with French
steam locomotives and the romanticism of
travel by rail. The resulting book is a dynamic

by contract work. But the city was in the
midst of a crisis at the time, marked by
decay, neglect, and brutalisation. Many of

the United States: El Paso-Juárez, an urban
military experiment at the US-Mexico border,
and Washington, DC, as the nation’s war and

sought out individuals who have chosen a

LUIS SANCHIS*
Sturm & Drang, Zurich 2017
Luis Sanchis was born and raised in Spain, but
moved to New York in 1994, where he started
his career as a professional photographer. He
was quickly picked up by British magazine
‘THE FACE’, where he started working as a
regular contributor from 1996 until its closing.
His analogue images always had a feel of the
experimental. His first monograph covers a
wide spectrum of sectors, from fashion to
music, sports, celebrities, beauty, landscape,
and film.

SANJA MARUŠI – COLLECTED WORKS

Sanja Maruši , Amsterdam 2017
Dutch-Croatian photographer Sanja Maruši
uses an experimental approach to colour,
composition, materials, and manipulations
in her work to create dreamlike scenes that
are at once cinematic and alienating. She
travels the world in her production of these
otherworldly images. Presenting several
series from the past four years, Maruši ’s
first photobook offers a temporary escape
from reality through her surreal, technicolour
experiences.

CAC Málaga, Malaga 2017
This book is published with an exhibition by

themes of her photographic works denote
an intentional existentialism, reflected in her
painterly use of chiaroscuro to convey the
textures of each subject’s skin and gaze. At
once simple and deeply complex, her portraits
convey a fascination with the human psyche,
using models to interpret innate questions of
temptation, vulnerability, doubt, and faith.

PETER FRASER – TWO BLUE BUCKETS

Peperoni, Berlin 2017
According to Gerry Badger, Peter Fraser “has
always been aware of a scientific imperative
underpinning his imagery”. The photographs
in this series, which primarily take domestic
objects as their subjects, are considered
excellent in formal and technical respects,
especially with regard to the handling of
colour. But that is not the point. Instead,
Fraser is asking, “Why?” The series was first
published in 1988. Revisiting these images
30 years later puts new emphasis on Fraser’s
body of work.

Cecilia Edefalk may be best known for her

In exploring the limits of the medium, the
analogue photographic process becomes
an investigation into man’s ambivalent nature
and how the self relates to the world. Her
manner of representation and figuration often
works as a catalyst for consciousness and

ANNA PUESCHEL – LAYERS OF REALITY,

PERCEPTION OF A SYNESTHETE*
The Eriskay Connection, Breda 2017
Synaesthesia (“union of the senses”) is a
neurological phenomenon in which stimulation
of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads
to automatic, involuntary experiences in
a second sensory or cognitive pathway.
In one common form of synaesthesia, for
instance, letters or numbers are perceived as
inherently coloured. People who report such
experiences are known as synaesthetes. This
book is both a personal and a semi-scientific
research into synaesthesia.

ELIZA HUTCHISON – FAMILY PHOTOS

Perimeter Editions, Melbourne 2017
Australian artist Eliza Hutchison describes
her photographic practice in terms of
“reconstructed memory”. Her work could
be framed as an attempt to re-visualise the
images, sensations, and memories lost with
her family photo album, which disappeared
during a relocation. Hutchison’s images in
this book – many from a residency at the Cité
des Arts in Paris – both embrace and shatter
their collective title, hinting at repetitions and

CARTIER IN MOTION
Ivorypress, Madrid 2017
Marking an exhibition curated by Norman
Foster at London’s Design Museum, this richly
illustrated book explores the life and times
of pioneering watchmaker Louis Cartier and
his circle of friends in the context of early
20th-century Paris, highlighting the many
connections to the period’s art, automobiles,
aircraft, engineering, and fashion. Rather than
envision a typical exhibition that would start
and end with Cartier’s famed products, Foster
presents a celebration of an era.

PAUL COX –
ALPHABETICAL LITTLE THEATRE
Corraini Edizioni, Mantova 2017
The combination of painting and graphics
is Paul Cox’s signature style and here the
French artist remains true to his form. In
a mix of design, games, and scenic art,
he creates a mini-theatre with 42 cut-out
objects and characters, ready to take
the stage and perform. But that is not all,

multiplying expressive possibilities in a game
of references between drawings and letters,
meaning and significance. ISBN 9788875706456
