Box 392 New Delhi - 110 021 Phone: +91 11 4995 9500 Fax: +91 11 4995 9509 Email: [email protected] Webpage: http://www.eda.admin.ch/newdelhi About the book: ‘’A Tropical House - The Embassy of Switzerland in New Delhi’’ The Embassy building by Hans Hofmann and Walter Rüegg, as well as the staff quarters by Achyut Kanvinde and Shaukat Rai in the Embassy compound, show a deep engagement with local cultural, constructional and climatic conditions. Against the background of today’s ‘global architecture’, it is a model case. On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of its inauguration, this outstanding example of Swiss architecture is discussed in a scientific monograph displaying the planning and construction history, as well as the political and cultural context. Essays by experts are accompanied by historical views and recent photographs of the architecture and the compound. Contributions by: Didier Burkhalter, President of the Swiss Confederation Linus von Castelmur, Ambassador of Switzerland to India and Bhutan Marc Perrenoud Arthur Rüegg Anupam Bansal Ariel Huber Bruno Maurer 2/4 About the architects: Valerio Olgiati / Switzerland – The architect from Grisons left Switzerland after his studies at the ETH Zürich to work in an architect’s office in Los Angeles. Soon he came back to Zürich and opened his own office, which was later moved to Flims. After being visiting professor at several universities, namely ETH Zürich, the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London, as well as at the Cornell University in New York, Valerio Olgiati now works as a full professor at the Università della Svizzera italiana in Mendrisio. In 2013 Mr. Olgiati published a book with the title “The Images of Architects, The Visible Origin of Architecture”, a collection of 44 images from different unique architects. “I asked architects to send me important images that show the basis of their work […]. The images are explanations, metaphors, foundations, memories and intentions. They are poetic and philosophical avowals. They reveal a personal perspective on thoughts. They show the roots of architecture and expectations concerning projects. Conscious and unconscious. […]” - Valerio Olgiati (from: “The Images of Architects, The Visible Origin of Architecture”) Bijoy Jain / India – Born and brought up in Mumbai, Bijoy Jain went to the United States to study architecture at the Washington University in St. Louis. After he had worked for a few years in Los Angeles and London, he came back to India and founded 2005 the "Studio Mumbai Architects". He is a critique of architectural designs that neglect their natural environment and social community in which they are situated. For him, the given surroundings and the local resources are crucial determinants of any projects. "Praxis is the process by which a theory, lesson, or skill is enacted, practiced, embodied or realized […].The practice of the architect […] is primarily concerned with the nature of being.[…]” - Bijoy Jain 3/4 Erwin Viray / Singapore – Erwin Viray obtained a BS Arch from the University of Philippines, an MA in Engineering in Architecture at Kyoto Institute of Technology and a Doctorate degree for Engineering in Architecture at the University of Tokyo. He worked as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Architecture at the School of Design and Environment of the National University of Singapore and as a design critic at the Graduate School of Design of the Harvard University. Currently he is professor and head of architecture and design at the Kyoto Institute of Technology and co- editor of the journal A+U (Architecture and Urbanism). ‘’The biggest challenge for the future is our ability to confront ourselves, testing the paradigms of our thoughts and how we do things. […]” - Erwin Viray (from: “An interview for professional media in South East Asia”) The “Year of Swiss Architecture, Design and Engineering in India 2013-2014” is supported by: 4/4 .

    Name The Name Books Catalogue 2016 In June 2014, we founded our new publishing company The Name Books AG in Switzerland. Its name was inspired by a Barnett Newman painting entitled The Name – noth- ing easier than finding a name for a new publishing business! – We are three shareholders. Martina Baer trained as a ‘Verlagsbuchhändlerin’ at Stämpfli Verlag Berne and completed a bachelors degree in busi- ness administration at FH Basel; she worked for a few years as a consultant at a corporate identity agency in Zurich. Bruno Margreth did his training as a typographer at Fischer Druck Münsingen and studied graphic design at Basel Art School; he has worked for various publishers for more than fifteen years.Dino Simonett trained as a carpenter at Gasser Haldenstein and did his masters at Berlin Film School DFFB. He has been creating and publishing books for more than three decades. There is more interesting personal stuff about us a bit further down. The First Five Books In this initial catalogue, we are presenting a com- pletely newly arranged and designed second edition of the bestseller The Images of Architects, edited by Valerio Olgiati. The now lighter and ‘younger’ book is conquering the world again, and we like it! – The “flatbook”-book Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji by the legendary Japanese artist and art director Masayoshi Nakajo, creator of Shishei- do’s Hanatsubaki Magazine is our second book. It is a true artist’s book and Nakajo thinks this is his best book so far. – As our third book, we proudly present the sensational highlight of this catalogue: a book about one of the most fascinating and widely discussed architectural buildings of our time.

    2016 by Bijoy Jain for Studio Mumbai

    2016 BY BIJOY JAIN FOR STUDIO MUMBAI EDUCATION MPavilion is an annual initiative of the Naomi Milgrom Foundation that, since 2014, has brought leading architects GUIDE from Australia and around the world to Melbourne to design a temporary pavilion for the Queen Victoria Gardens. Each MPavilion hosts a diverse program of free talks, performances, workshops and educational activities and is open daily during its season. The ambition of MPavilion is to make architecture accessible as a field of design that is of central importance to the way we each experience the world. The architects invited to design each MPavilion are chosen because they are outstanding in their field and unique in their approach to architectural design. This selection criteria has resulted in each new MPavilion being very different from the last in form, materials and building technologies used. At the close of the season each MPavilion is relocated to a new home. You can visit previous MPavilions at locations across Victoria. The 2016 MPavilion by Bijoy Jain for Studio Mumbai can be visited at the Melbourne Zoo in Parkville, Melbourne. How to use this resource This resource introduces the MPavilion initiative and focuses upon the 2016 edition by Indian architect Bijoy Jain for the firm Studio Mumbai. It is aimed at students in levels/years 3-10 and its content is aligned with ictorianV and Australian curriculum descriptors. It is intended as a source of insight for educators to draw upon for use either in the classroom, or to help structure an excursion to MPavilion. Each MPavilon has its own dedicated resource and it is recommended that students visit more than one MPavilion to appreciate the contrasts between the designs of different years.

    House in Uehara, Kazuo Shinohara Andreas Amodio, Giulia Furlan, Mario Beeli After coming to the conclu- sion that the most relevant and commonly shared value nowadays is experience, we sat together and shared our memories, thoughts, ideas about buildings we had seen and experienced or just found triggering as architects. We did this avoiding to look at plans and images, and trans- lated our dialogues into sket- ches. The attempt of drawing existing buildings by heart, based on nothing else than experience soon enough lost any aim of showing things how they really are. We en- ded up bringing in fanta- sies, personal memories and perceptions, interpretations, desires, critiques and so on. A collection of fictional ima- ges grown out of experience of many existing buildings was suddenly on the table. It shows the fictional cores of these pieces of architecture beyond the limitations of re- ality, just as felt in person and stored in our head. What we found out is that how we see things and decode them into ideas and feelings is the fic- tional potential within the real world. CARTHA17 / II2017 48 Villa Tugendhat, Mies van der Rohe, Brno, Czech Republic Andreas Amodio, Giulia Furlan, Mario Beeli CARTHA17 / II2017 49 Andreas Amodio (1982) is an Italian architect based in Milan. He studied at the Academy of architecture of Mendrisio, USI, Switzerland, and gra- duated in 2007. He opened his own practice in 2008 and later on the same year became a teaching assistant at the Chair of Valerio Olgiati in Mendri- sio. He taught and worked in Switzerland for over 7 years and in 2015 re- turned to Italy, where he currently continues his practice.

A Talk on Architecture in Photography Images From Valerio Olgiati Personal Archive And Photographs By Bas Princen by Pedro Leão Neto As editor of scopio Editions it is a great honour to be writing this closing text about the present book which communicates our last Duelo/Dueto session of Architecture, Art and Image (AAI) series that had as invited authors Valerio Olgiati and Bas Princen. I will start by talking about the book as a privileged medium for Architecture, Art and Image and then go on focusing on this book in particular and its authors. This conference series had from the start planned a publication for each session with the contribution of the invited speakers and the organization because we believe that the physical book, without prejudice towards the potential of digital publications, is still a tool of paramount importance for preserving and building knowledge, not just for students and academics, but also for all professionals and non-scholars. The physical book somehow allows the understanding of what was discussed and debated in Duelo/Dueto sessions in a different manner, encouraging and giving the right time to each 96 viewer for a deeper thinking. The reading of these sessions also means that these events of rich exchange of ideas and personal experience between significant authors coming from AAI universe are preserved for future studies.

The exhibition on Valerio Olgiati represents the strong collaboration between the two countries over the past years and is another step in establishing a continuous presence of Swiss architecture in one of the most prestigious, active and influential countries in this field. • World famous architecture: Valerio Olgiati’s buildings and competition entries are attracting widespread respect in both national and international architectural circles. Especially in Japan, his works meet a very important interest and has been extensively presented in the specialized press, as for example by the renowned Japanese architecture magazine Architecture and Urbanism (a+u). The Japanese audience to Olgiati’s work is one of the most adverted internationally. The exhibition meets great interest and attracts the media and the broad public . With the exhibition ‘Peter Märkli and Jun Aoki’, Swiss architecture has already been very successfully presented at the MOMAT in 2008 and widely recognized through strong media awareness. • Japanese Nobel Prize for Architecture: The Praemium Imperiale Prize, given by the imperial family of Japan and considered to be the Nobel Prize in the field of architecture, was awarded to the Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron in 2007 and Peter Zumthor in 2008.
