Este libro proporciona un estudio sistemático sobre los diferentes tipos contemporáneos de casas en hilera. En el campo de la vivienda, es de gran importancia trabajar sobre los tipos existentes, resultado de la lenta evolucion historica, para seguir precisandolos y elaborandolos de diferentes modos. La optima comprension de una tipologia se convierte en el camino indispensable para poder utilizarla, repetirla, variarla y mejorarla. Gunter Pfeifer y Per Brauneck presentan en este volumen una seleccion de proyectos de casas en hilera, organizados sistematicamente en funcion de la posicion de la escalera, los diferentes desniveles de los forjados o el modo de agrupacion de las diversas unidades de vivienda. Esta clara organizacion, junto con una documentacion grafica exhaustiva para cada proyecto, proporciona, tanto a los estudiantes de arquitectura como a los profesionales en activo, una valiosa fuente de experiencia con la que contrastar sus proyectos y avanzar en el desarrollo de las posibilidades de la tipologia.

The book looks at two contrasting but equally extraordinary phases in the recent history of Japanese architecture: first, the explosive 'Bubble' era of the 1980s and early 1990s, and second, the post-'Bubble' era which leads up to the present day. The early period, also referred to as the 'new golden age of Japanese architecture', saw a spectacular overproduction of unusual buildings and urban complexes in Japan's major cities; while the period that followed, around the mid-1990s, shows work that demonstrated a sense of modesty, restraint and 'earthly' innovation. The Bubble era was pioneered by names such as Arata Isozaki, Tadao Ando, Fumihiko Maki, Kazuo Shinohara, Toyo Ito, Hiroshi Hara and Shin Takamatsu. With the Japanese economy booming, there was huge investment in fantastical and often very experimental urban building projects. However, by 1993 financial recession had started to gain a firm grip on the country, affecting it on every level. Japan began restructuring its economy and, as a consequence, social, cultural and architectural changes took place on a big scale. Architects throughout Japan started experimenting and building in new ways. Environmental and ecological concerns led to the development of innovative materials and technologies. This backlash against the overdevelopment and spending that took place in earlier years was led by established figures such as Toyo Ito, Tadao Ando, Fumihiko Maki, Ryoji Suzuki, as well as emerging architects including Kengo Kuma, Jun Aoki, Shigeru Ban, Kazuyo Sejima and others. The book is divided into two sections: 'The Bubble Years: The Epitome of Japanese Postmodernism and 'After the Bubble: New Realities, New Priorities'. In the first section, architectural projects produced during the 1990s are discussed and illustrated in the general text, while in the latter part of the book more recent projects, mainly from the twenty-first century, will be introduced on an individual basis, with plans, drawings and photos, along with detailed project descriptions. The book will handle the whole spectrum of cultural detail to explore Japan's extraordinary architectural life.

La arquitectura moderna eclosionó con la voluntad de resolver las cuestiones del entorno cotidiano, pero siguió aplicando los criterios tradicionales de la cultura Beaux-arts para resolver edificios singulares y extraordinarios. Paulatinamente, a lo largo del siglo XX, la vivienda social y la casa unifamiliar fueron perdiendo peso frente a los monumentos. A ello contribuyeron también los historiadores, quienes elaboraron una construcción historiográfica basada en las obras singulares aisladas de su contexto, elogiosa con el arquitecto masculino como héroe que emerge de su medio.

The architecture of the pharaohs represents some of the most impressive creative work ever produced in Egyptian art and yet it has never been completely assessed. Dietrich Wildung, Curator of the Egyptian Museum in Berlin, gives a compelling account of the breathtaking architectural achievements in the Valley of the Nile during one of the oldest architectural eras: from the earliest royal tombs from c. 3000 B.C. to the pyramids of Giza and the temples of Karnak and Luxor. This volume provides a fascinating insight into a civilization that has caught the imagination of countless generations since its demise, elucidating not only 3000 years of architectural history, but also outlining the related visual arts, reliefs and wall paintings. With more than 250 color illustrations, computer-aided reconstructions, plans of famous buildings and clear chronological tables that place architectural developments within the context of historical events, this publication makes a considerable and highly readable contribution towards a more profound understanding of Egyptian culture.
