Only four years after its foundation, the architectural office KSV Krger Schuberth Vandreike acquired international repute by winning first prize in the competition for the Chancellors Office in Berlin. Since then, it has realised a large number of ideas at home and abroad.

Exploring the city at the same time as Venturi and Scott-Brown, the renowned architectural historian and critic Reyner Banham focused his attention on what he saw as the strikingly modernist spaces of the Mojave desert and disregarded the postmodernist lure of the Strip. .

This is the company's first comprehensive overview (as well as the first book in a new series), and includes Wulf & Partner's new convention center in Stuttgart, which has garnered enormous attention.

This book explores the concept of Co-Dividuality, an architecture that expresses a new response to joint living in the age of post-individualism, social media, and sharing economy. The focus lies on current experimentation in Japanese architecture and presents thematic homes with shared spaces designed as a result of warm, simple, fun and contemporary design reflections. In addition to their private room, the co-tenants have large common areas where they can practice urban farming, create a start-up, cook together, or experience new spatial ergonomics. It is an overview not only on domestic space but also on projects where there is a multifarious mix between public and private spheres. What is Co-Dividuality? reflects on how we might want to live tomorrow. The book includes projects of Kengo Kuma, Kazuyo Sejima, Ryue Nishizawa, Shigeru Ban, Sou Fujimoto, Satoko Shinohara, Ayano Uchimura, Taichi Kuma, Junya Ishigami, Suppose Design, Naruse Inokuma and Masuda + Otsubo among others

Jörg Friedrich hat in den letzten vier Dekaden mit seinem renommierten Hamburger Architekturbüro pfp architekten ein breites Spektrum an öffentlicher und privater Architektur mit ganz unterschiedlichen Nutzungen geplant und realisiert. Das Büro arbeitet an der Minimalisierung des architektonischen Objektes im städtebaulichen Kontext. In kontinuierlicher Auseinandersetzung mit den Idealen der klassischen Moderne geht es um deren Transformation in eine entspannte Zukunft von Architektur und Stadt. Gebaute Räume werden über ihre funktionale und ästhetische Ausformung hinaus zu Architekturen der Begegnung: Das Gebäude wird in der Stadt als soziale Raumschichtung inszeniert. Dieses Buch veranschaulicht an vielen Beispielen die unverwechselbare Arbeits- und Denkweise von Jörg Friedrich und seinem Team. Entwurfsansätze und Konzeptentwicklungen werden bis zum ausgeführten Bau in Skizzen, Modellen, und beeindruckenden Fotos dokumentiert.
