Architecture Books – Week 40/2022
The latest review on A Weekly Dose of Architecture Books:
Aalto in Detail: A Catalogue of Components by Céline Dietzkier and Lukas Gruntz, published by Birkhäuser.
Architecture Book News:
Apparently today is World Architecture Day, carrying the theme "Architecture for Well-being." A few book recommendations based on the theme (linked to my reviews):
The Shaping of Us: How Everyday Spaces Structure Our Lives, Behavior, and Well-Being by Lily Bernheimer (Trinity University Press, 2019)
Welcome to Your World: How the Built Environment Shapes Our Lives by Sarah Williams Goldhagen (Harper, 2017)
The Agile City: Building Well-being and Wealth in an Era of Climate Change by James S. Russell (Island Press, 2011)
Cities for People by Jan Gehl (Island Press, 2010)
UK publisher MACK is branching out with a handful of architecture books this fall. First tipped in week 29, e-flux architecture has an announcement from the publisher from a few days ago, and the five books can be seen on the publisher’s website. I’m hoping to have a review of at least one of the titles before the end of the year.
