SAY 25/26. Swiss Architecture Yearbook 2025/26
 
The Swiss Architecture Yearbook (SAY), published biannually, is an inspiring and informative source for a wide audience interested in architecture. It reflects the country’s remarkably diverse architectural production and discusses current trends and challenges in design and construction. Moreover, it provides international visibility for the outstanding quality of Swiss architecture and building culture.
 
SAY’s second edition of 2025/26 is again more than merely a selection of the best: By way of 30 outstanding designs realized between 2022 and 2024, selected by an independent international jury from a list of 160 nominees from all parts of the country, and six topical essays, it once again showcases the diversity and exceptional quality of Swiss architecture. The essays delve into burning issues facing construction and design: challenges such as climate change and construction in the context of limited resources; how to densify existing fabrics and make open spaces more appealing; what factors help preservation and transformation projects to succeed; and the key role of socially and environmentally conscious clients and developers.

As you may or may not know, we love Frankfurt Book Fair. Huge fans, really.

What we’re also big fans of:
- our books (obviously)
- Monocle!

Monocle named Park Books Best Imprint in their 2025 Design Awards.

And what better time and place to celebrate than a chilly mid-October week on the grounds of Messe Frankfurt, surrounded by questionable skyscrapers!

So if you’re in Frankfurt, swing by our booth (Hall 3.1, H145), meet the team, browse new titles and get inspired.

See you there to celebrate together!

The Metropolitan Tower. A Pedagogical Research Initiated by Michel Kagan
 
The Metropolitan Tower is the first English-language edition of an influential French standard reference on the topic of the urban high-rise, originally published in 2012. It summarizes, interprets, and explains the research of French architect and teacher Michel Kagan (1953–2009). Featuring some 600 photographs, sketches, and plans, along with Kagan’s own writings and contributions by 26 distinguished international authors who respond to his ideas with key elements of their own research, the volume comprehensively explores the typology of the metropolitan high-rise since the birth of early modernism.

Maison de la Chine. A Building by Atelier FCJZ
 
In 2023, the new Maison de la Chine was opened as part of the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris (CIUP), the French capital’s famous campus of student residencies founded in 1925. Designed by Beijing-based Atelier Feichang Jianzhu (Atelier FCJZ) and realized in collaboration with the French architecture firm Coldefy, the building continues the tradition of national pavilions within the CIUP and the site’s extraordinary history. The Maison de la Chine’s design bears the DNA of traditional Chinese architecture, yet Atelier FCJZ also clearly acknowledges its inspiration from Le Corbusier.

Multilingual Edition ( English & French)

That’s Brutal, What’s Modern? The Smithsons, Banham, and the Mies-Image
 
In That’s Brutal, What’s Modern?, Mark Linder offers an original understanding of New Brutalism as a consequential and generative episode in the history of post-photographic imaging practices. This episode exemplifies and anticipates the kinds of congnition and intelligence that dominate architectural imagination today. Linder aims to recover a specific and integral, yet overlooked, aspect of the peculiar novelty of New Brutalism by recconsiderung the entirety of Alison and Peter Smithson’s work as a fitful and evolving fifty-year fascination with the imaging potential they found in the architecture of Mies van der Rohe.
 
In six chapters and some forty arrays of images, the book progresses from historical research to theoretical speculations on the historical legacy and contemporary potential of the Smithsons’ pursuit of the “Mies-Image.” The chapters situate New Brutalism in the context of emerging theories, practices, and cultures of imaging in postwar Britain, trace the Smithsons’ imaging practices and the appearances of the Mies-Image as it evolves in their projects and publications over five decades, reconsider Reyner Banham’s evaluations of Mies and his role in New Brutalism, and explore imaging theory and its potential to re-evaluate the significance of New Brutalism.
