A book about a large building (216,000 m2) recently built (between 2010 and 2018) in East Asia (Seoul) for a Korean beauty and cosmetics company (Amorepacific) as their headquarters (encompassing a museum, library, auditorium, kindergarden, restaurants, laboratories and offices for 7000 employees), designed by an international architectural firm (David Chipperfield Architects Berlin) following clear design principles (simple form and organisation, connecting with city and nature, real materials), situated between different urban fabrics (a new business district, a large park and a small-scale mixed-use neighbourhood) and built from various materials from the region and all over the world (concrete, aluminium, glass, granite, textile, wood). The book compiles 860 documents that were generated during the planning and construction process of the Amorepacific headquarters in Seoul. The artefacts are complemented by two image series by photographer Laurian Ghinitoiu.

"SUDU -- the Sustainable Urban Dwelling Unit -- is a full-scale prototype for an affordable two-story house built with local materials and traditional building techniques in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa. Developed in a collaborative endeavor between the Ethiopian Institute of Architecture, Building Construction and City Development and ETH Zurich, SUDU ties in with the rich tradition of loam construction while at the same time taking a fresh look at how to adapt this tradition to contemporary needs. The first volume additionally explores the history of Ethiopian architecture, the postcolonial nature of its current construction industry, and the challenges of the country's rapid urbanization. The second volume, a manual with more than 600 detailed drawings and instructions, demonstrates how to build a house, step-by-step, with the most readily available building material -- earth"--Page 4, cover.

Home to 20 million people and still growing, Greater Cairo mirrors the global phenomenon of unplanned urban growth. Approximately 60 percent of the population of Africa?s biggest city lives in so-called informal housing, typically five-to-ten-story concrete-and-brick-infill structures built without permits in the desert or on former agricultural land. Housing Cairo: The Informal Response illuminates the architecture of informality and its mechanisms of production through a series of theoretical essays and architectural design proposals. Central to the project is a re-examination of the concept of “informality” itself and its often negative connotations. As the book argues, Cairo?s informal response to housing needs is not a marginal phenomenon, but rather an intelligent, optimized answer to planning incapacities ? an answer that architects and planners should themselves be participating in.
