With their elementary \"constructedness\", clean proportions and elegant interplay of volumes in the urban space, these projects embody a permanence without affectation and fashionable elements and provide a meaningful and unassuming background to everyday life. In doing so, they not only answer the pressing question of the ecology of coexistence, but also provide a benchmark within our heterogeneous design culture. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePhotos by Hélène Binet, David Schreyer and Stefan Müller as well as historical illustrations accompany the plea for a masterful 'middle way' in architecture. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eArchitecture of permanence, without affectation and modish elements \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eThree projects by Max Dudler, Franz Riepl and Stephen Sergison \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ePhoto spreads by Hélène Binet, David Schreyer and Stefan Müller \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlbert Kirchengast\u003c\/strong\u003e, architectural theorist, author and lecturer at ETH Zurich \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.4 x 6.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 14, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42171832107143,"sku":"9783035626506","price":52.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/82450f1e7305aa2d3507042470d0b462.webp?v=1733358479","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/continued-building-on-city-settlement-village-a-plea-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
