Presentation of the 1st prize and award-winning projects 2010
Insight into current developments and debates on architecture in the Muslim world
The Aga Khan Award for Architecture was established by His Highness the Aga Khan in 1977 to identify and encourage excellence in architec-ture and other forms of intervention in the built environment of societies where Muslims have a significant presence. The Award is given every three years and recognises all types of building projects that affect today’s built environment.The book presents the shortlist of 19 projects including the winners. What these projects in their variety across culturally diverse portions of the globe have in common is a commitment to design excellence despite constraints of budget, resources, climate, technology, and politics.

Landform BuildingArchitecture’s New Terrain
Edited by Stan Allen and Marc McQuadeIn cooperation with the School of Architecture, Princeton University
A new terrain in architecture, presented by architectural work, critical texts, historical documentation, and artist projects
Projects and buildings by architects such as Steven Holl, Toyo Ito, Dominique Perrault, and Philippe Rahm among others
Green roofs, artificial mountains and geological forms; buildings you walk on or over; networks of ramps and warped surfaces; buildings that carve into the ground or landscapes lifted high into the air: all these are commonplace in architecture today. new technologies, new design techniques and a demand for enhanced environmental performance have provoked a re-thinking of architecture’s traditional relationship to the ground. The book Landform Building sets out to examine the many manifestations of landscape and ecology in contemporary architectural practice: not as a cross-disciplinary phenomenon (architects working in the landscape) but as new design techniques, new formal strategies, and technical problems within architecture.
STAn AllEn is the Dean of the School of Architecture / Princeton Univer-sity, and the owner and principal of SAA / Stan Allen Architect in new York. MARC MCQUADE is an architect at Adjaye Associates in new York.
Steven Holl – ScaleAn Architect’s Sketch Book
Edited by lars Müller
Comprehensive collection of first sketches
This is the second publication of Steven Holl’s legendary watercolors, following Written in Water, 2002. 400 watercolors represent the creative process of this famous and influential American architect. The water colors show Holl’s highly individual method, developed over many years and containing first ideas and sketches of all major projects. Holl is known for his sculptural architecture and his genuine use of light. Both qualities meet the characteristics of the watercolor-technique. This highly artistic work by an architect becomes spectacular at a time of changing working techniques in design — the lowtech attitude allows the artist to concentrate on inspiration and perception. The watercolors are juxtaposed by photographs of the built architecture and emphasize the crucial aspect of scale.
Steven Holl – Color, Light, TimeWith contributions by Jordi Safont-Tria, Sanford Kwinter, and Steven Holl
Essential book for students and young architects
In this publication, the current work of new York-based Steven Holl — an outstanding representative of contemporary American architecture — is the subject of a detailed examination which is oriented by a focus on archetypical aspects of visual perception. For nearly three decades now, Steven Holl has developed his architectural stance and his reflec-tions on architecture with striking consistency. The success of his work can be attributed to its sculptural shaping, his interest in the poetics of space, color, light, and material, and his fascination with scientific phenomena. With essays by Jordi Safont-Tria, Sanford Kwinter, and Steven Holl which discuss various dimensions of temporality vis à vis processes of creation, utilization, and perception in architecture.
STEvEn Holl is an American architect, perhaps best known for the 1998 Kiasma Contemporary Art Museum in Helsinki, Finland, the 2003 Simmons Hall at MIT in Cam-bridge, Massachusetts, and the praised 2009 linked Hybrid mixed-use complex in Beijing, China.

The perspective and practice of the successful Swiss landscape architect Günther Vogt
Using a typological structure (landscape, park, square, garden, promenade, etc.), Günther vogt describes the theoretical foundation on which the successful projects of vogt landscape Architects are based. In recent years they have realized international projects in Europe and the United States, including a new type of city park for the Tate Modern in london (with Herzog & de Meuron); an “all-weather garden” with great poetic power at the Hyatt Hotel in Zurich (with Meili, Peter Architekten); an indoor tropical garden for the novartis Campus in Basel (with Diener & Diener); and the exterior spaces of the Allianz Arena in Munich (with Herzog & de Meuron). The updated edition shows the finished projects that were presented as plans in the previous edition.

For Climate’s Sake!Who’s in Charge of the Future?
Edited by René Schwarzenbach, Christian Rentsch,Klaus lanz, and lars Müller
In cooperation with the Department of Environmental Sciences, ETH Zurich
Topical theme: climate conferences at Copenhagen (2009) and Cancún (2010)
This visual reader offers a new approach to explaining this topic and making it more accessible to a wider public
Appropriate for school settings
Continues the series of well-known bestsellers: Who Owns the Water? and The Face of Human Rights
This visual reader sheds light on climate change on the basis of repor-tage, case studies, and striking image sequences. Presented alongside chapters on the history of the earth and of climate and on the “climate engines” (solar energy, greenhouse gases, and global warming) are both the consequences of climate change and the political strategies desig-ned to combat it. In the foreground are existential problems as formula-ted by the Millennium Developmental Goals: poverty and hunger, health and underdevelopment, but also the interdependency between climate change, economics, and politics. Unavoidable in this context as well are problems related to migration, megacities, and ethical questions of human rights, equity, and solidarity. For Climate’s Sake! addresses these questions rationally, at the same time evoking an emotional response.

“ Ecological Urbanism is highly recommendable, if you are willing to be open to its more experimental nature, because you, your landscape architecture (the city) may not be the same after you have read this book.” Journal of landscape Architecture
