Architecture, as a living organism, establishes a relationship between beings and their environment, where the notions of energy, breathing and light are the vectors for the conception of spaces. For Serero,  architecture should reach the minimum impact on its local environment and aims to vanish and resiliate in nature.

The work rethink architecture and shifts away its permanent condition towards a transient and ephemeral one, with greater spatial versatility and multiplying the potential usage to propose an open architecture.

This book reveals 3 profound transformations of recent architecture: the digital revolution and its impact on creative work in all conceptual aspects, the emergence of an internet of energy  that buildings will contribute to create to share energy, and the profusion of new usage of private and public spaces, both collaborative and connected, creating an interstitial experience of spaces  between the physical and the virtual.

Out of the Ordinary

John RonanThis publication on the work of John Ronan Architects explores the firm’s spatial-material approach to architecture and the underlying themes of its typologically diverse output.

The Work of John Ronan Architects John Ronan In previous decades, architectural production was constrained by the limits of technology; architects pushed on the boundaries imposed by technology and it gave them common purpose. Those limits are gone. Over the preceding two decades it has been demonstrated that with enough technology (and money) anything is possible. What does an architect do when anything is possible? This is the question which confronts architects today, who now operate within a professional landscape where all is possible, but little has meaning. The “anything goes” mentality which currently prevails has resulted in innumerable self-referential “object” buildings which engage only with their architect’s ego, often resulting in an urban fabric of autonomous formal objects comprised of arbitrarily-applied design tropes which celebrate formal invention for its own sake. But what do architects leave society once the novelty of form has worn off? In this architectural age of arbitrary shape-making, devoid

Strange Objects, New Solids and Massive Things

Winka Dubbeldam, Archi-TectonicsThe object as solid, having three dimensions, is not just a different formal trend, but a paradigm shift; a reconceiving of how the architectural object is produced and experienced.

Archi-Tectonics Winka Dubbeldam/ Archi-Tectonics A manual for a non-standard approach to research and design in architecture. For close to a century, modernism was the norm, presented to culturally aware citizens as the expression of modern life. It arrived hand in hand with medical advances, mass standardization, and a shared ideal of what the ease and speed of the modern lifestyle could offer. Only in the early years of the 21st century did our widespread allegiance begin to shift away from modernism and towards a new social realm. The digital revolution introduced online societies, niche cultures, and digital design. Digital manufacturing facilitated opportunities of surface patterning and the fabrication of one-off special building components, removing the constraints of standardization in the construction industry and celebrating the experimental. Testing designs through prototypes allows for a much more informed decision-making process. The focus is on precise, rigorous research and development, rather than the usual representational

Crossings (ENG ED.)

Dominique CoulonThe book reflects the agency’s work in connection with different contextual postures and the construction of complex spatial relationships.

Dominique Coulon & Associés Dominique Coulon The writing of Dominique Coulon & Associés, nominated twice for the Mies van der Rohe award, reflects the agency’s work in connection with different contextual postures and the construction of complex spatial relationships. In circumstances that are often difficult, buildings add value to their locations, transforming them. This book explores the public dimension of architecture taking a new look at the eclectic work of Dominique Coulon; his production of public buildings illustrates the complexity of his architectural approach. Dominique Coulon plays with context, light, and materiality to produce public places that are detailed and welcoming. The areas he proposes affect and accompany the body. His architecture is part of a dynamic relationship, mobilising the senses to propose a specific universe, which may be cheerful, or dramatic. These spaces serve the public dimension of his architecture. Winners of Architizer 2021 A+Firm Awards - The World’s Best Architecture Firms Visit urbanNext

Variable Geometry

Marco Casamonti / Archea AssociattiArchea Associati’s interests and research activities move from the landscape to the city, from building to design and from exhibitions to applied research.

Marco Casamonti / Archea Associatti Archea practices at the intersection of art, architecture and the factory. These architects collaborate with living artists and with artists from the past, and they develop a relationship not only with a material but also with its fabricators. In a symbiotic working relationship, the Archea studio and factories with which it collaborates trade knowledge and invention, the factory performing invaluable research that would normally be outside an architect's purview and financial reach.

Mute Icons

Marcelo Spina, Georgina Huljich/ P-A-T-T-E-R-N-SInterrogating historical, contemporary, and speculative images, the book aims to construct a viable alternative to the icon’s cliché.

& Other Dichotomies of the Real in Architecture Marcelo Spina & Georgina Huljich with Constance Vale/ P-A-T-T-E-R-N-S Interrogating historical, contemporary, and — more importantly— speculative images, ‘Mute Icons & Other Dichotomies of the Real in Architecture’ aims to construct a viable alternative to the icon’s cliché and exhausted form of communication, positing one that is decidedly introverted and withdrawn. Developing a language and a sensibility for discovering simultaneous, contradictory, and even unexpected readings of architectural form, Marcelo Spina & Georgina Huljich / PATTERNS’s new book Mute Icons, aims to carve out a niche in contemporary culture and history by suggesting that far from being a crowd-pleaser, architecture can persist within society as a constructive cultural and social irritant. No longer concerned with narrative excesses or with the "shock and awe" of sensation making; the mute icon becomes intriguing in its deceptive indifference towards context, perplexing in its unmitigated apathy towards the body.
