The Pavilion examines both the history and the contemporary state of pavilion architecture, something of a niche genre in the field, but with a long history of masterpieces. It consists of two parts: first, the examination of a group of twentieth-century pavilions, and second, a collection of essays that survey historical and more recent examples. This outstanding analysis was produced by students of architecture at Frankfurt's St�delschule. In the theoretical section, well-known authors discuss the materials used in pavilions, starting with influences from the Orient, India and Asia, and moving on to significant twentieth-century pavilions and recent temporary buildings that seem to occupy a space between art and architecture. In addition, the book documents the research and development of a summer pavilion for the garden at the Deutsches Architekturmuseum in Frankfurt produced by the offices of Barkow Leibinger and Werner Sobek.

This comprehensive volume documents the work of the Argentine architect, graphic designer, and industrial designer Emilio Ambasz. Ambasz's main concern is to integrate nature and construction into architectural design, which is why he is regarded as one of the most important pioneers of Green Architecture. In his work a combination of landscape and architecture emerges, in which his respect for the environment and ecological sustainability becomes clear. A prime example of this is the Fukuoka Prefectural International Hall in Japan: a building that houses more than 100,000 m2 of exhibition spaces, theaters, and offices is also an open green area in the form of a hanging garden. In addition to the documentation of Ambasz's architectural, graphic, industrial, and exhibition design, this publication contains essays by Barry Bergdoll, Kenneth Frampton, and Peter Buchanan, as well as three interviews with Emilio Ambasz, conducted by Michael Sorkin, James Wines, and Hans Ulrich Obrist.

Die Natur war schon immer eine Inspirationsquelle für die Gestaltung der menschlichen Umwelt und diese Beziehung hat sich in den letzen Jahren wieder intensiviert. Das "Modell Natur" beeinflusst die unterschiedlichsten Konzepte und Entwicklungsprozesse und zeigt sich in einer grossen Bandbreite von Formen und Funktionen. "Nature Design" versammelt Projekte und Objekte aus Design, Architektur, Landschaftsarchitektur, Fotografie und Kunst, die sich von der Natur inspirieren lassen, um vielschichtige und innovative Arbeiten zu entwickeln. Protagonisten sind u.a. Werner Aisslinger, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, Peter Eisenman, Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron, Ross Lovegrove, Olaf Nicolai, Francois Roche, Lars Spuybroek oder Günther Vogt. Das Buch umfasst die historischen und theoretischen Grundlagen zu den Themen Meer, Topografie, Pflanzen, Mensch, Tier, Geruch und Klima. "Nature Design" soll die Vielfalt der Möglichkeiten in der Nach- oder Neuerfindung der Natur sichtbar machen und neue Perspektiven eröffnen.
