LIQUIFER. Living Beyond Earth.
Architecture for Extreme Environments

LIQUIFER Systems Group, a design and research firm based in Vienna and Bremen, has been addressing the issue of human life on planet Earth and elsewhere in the universe for two decades. Their work demonstrates how technology-based design solutions and careful use of available resources can enable us to conquer the extremes and live in space. Their concepts, feasibility studies, and technological developments all deal with the key issue of scarcity that defines life everywhere: on Mars, on the Moon, in orbit as well as on Earth.

LIQUIFER. Living Beyond Earth is the first book to present the practice’s groundbreaking work and enables the reader to delve into the visionary world of Europe’s leading space design firm. It features spectacular images and visualizations, detailed plans, and drawings that are supplemented with texts by the LIQUIFER team, as well as contributions by renowned American space architects Brent Sherwood and Christina Ciardullo.

Sponge Park. Gowanus Canal

Before there were sponge cities, there were sponge parks. Brooklyn’s Gowanus Canal is the site of the Sponge Park master plan and pilot projects, instigating a widespread movement toward greater urban permeability. Designed by Susannah Drake and her former Brooklyn-based firm DLANDstudio Architecture + Landscape Architecture, their execution was completed in 2016 and recognized with National AIA and ASLA Urban Design Awards as well as the inaugural Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian National Design Award for Climate Action in 2020.

The Gowanus Canal was the channelized reminder of a former freshwater creek and tidal marsh. Industrial use in the 19th and 20th centuries left a legacy of heavy pollution in the soil and water. Historic industrial buildings lined the canal, so that residential neighborhoods had scarce opportunity to access the water’s edge. Today’s Sponge Park is conceived as a series of public urban waterfront spaces that slow, absorb, and filter dirty surface water runoff to clean contaminated canal water, reduce combined sewer overflow, and add open space in a park-starved neighborhood. Revealing the form, distribution, and size of natural ecological patterns in relation to the shape and patterns of infrastructure, neighborhoods, and political jurisdictions were among key components of the design.

Typostruktur. Sehnsucht nach architektonischer Relevanz

Giulio Bettini und Daniel Penzis untersuchen in diesem Buch Bauten aus zehn Jahrhunderten mit Blick auf deren Tragstrukturen und das ihnen innewohnende räumliche Potenzial und wie diese Strukturen als Typus zu deklinieren sind. Aus den gewonnenen Erkenntnissen heraus definieren sie den neuen Begriff der «Typostruktur» für das architektonische Entwerfen. Mit diesem Verständnis von Architektur entwickelte Bauten sind nicht nur strukturell effizient und langlebig, sondern erhalten auch räumliche Qualitäten, die ihnen eine einzigartige Identität zu verleihen vermögen.

Strukturelle Effizienz, Langlebigkeit und räumliche Qualität sind für das heute mehr denn je geforderte nachhaltige Bauen von entscheidender Bedeutung. Bettini und Penzis skizzieren in diesem Essay zudem zeitgemässe Entwurfsmethoden, die zu emissionsarmen, langlebigen und materialsparenden Bauten führen. Veranschaulicht wird das Konzept und dessen Relevanz für eine zeitgemässe Architektur durch eigens für dieses Buch angefertigte Abbildungen.

The Craft of Place. Mork-Ulnes Architects

Mork-Ulnes Architects is an internationally operating architecture firm with offices in San Francisco and Oslo. They approach projects with both Scandinavian practicality and a Californian can-do spirit of innovation, resulting in buildings that are characterized by both playfulness and restraint.

The Craft of Place is Mork-Ulnes Architects’ first monograph. In a reflective manner structured around themes of materials, traditions, sustainability, scale, and light, this work explores the firm’s approach to integrating architecture within diverse environments. The book delves into their method of balancing object and landscape, an approach rooted in the distinct cultural topographies of California and Norway, discussing as well the influence of local vernacular and materials.

The beautifully designed and lavishly illustrated volume showcases Mork-Ulnes Architects’ dedication to detail, context, and the evolution of their architecture through the interplay of tradition and innovation.

Drifting Symmetries. Projects, Provocations, and other Enduring Models by Weiss/Manfredi

In an era when the dual challenges of climate change and social isolation loom large, Drifting Symmetries emerges as a pivotal exploration of architecture’s role in shaping a sustainable and connected future. Weiss/Manfredi’s groundbreaking work transcends the boundaries between landscape, infrastructure, and architecture by reinventing sites in response to environmental and social challenges. Presented in this comprehensive volume of projects and parallel research, their work demonstrates a multidisciplinary approach that invents new settings for public life by exploring the gradient between nature and architecture.

Featuring Weiss/Manfredi’s most acclaimed built works alongside historical precedents and insights from Thom Mayne, Barry Bergdoll, Walter Hood, Nader Tehrani, Tatiana Bilbao, James Corner, Meejin Yoon, Rahul Mehrotra, Hashim Sarkis, Sarah Whiting, and many others, Drifting Symmetries is more than a showcase of projects; it’s a manual for expanding the terrain of contemporary architecture to construct more resilient settings for contemporary life.

Drifting Symmetries was chosen for The Editors’ Year-End Picks for the Holiday Season of the Architectural Record by Matthew Marani: “The book is Weiss/Manfredi’s first monograph in 15 years—and clearly the architect duo used that hiatus to radically reimagine how their buildings could be presented in such a format.”
