Spring/Summer 2019 Hello Spring/Summer 2019 Hello Welcome to the 2019 catalogue for Artifice Press. We are delighted to offer a fascinating selection of new titles produced in close collaboration with some of the biggest and most emerging names of the architecture and design world. It has been an eventful yet rewarding year for Artifice – in February 2018, we came under the ownership of the SJH Group, a world-leading creative media group. This partnership has put us in an even stronger position, bringing more scope and enabling us to publish a wider selection of beautiful books to a consistently high standard. We are extremely proud of the titles we present on the following pages of this catalogue, which explore a variety of subject matters such as architecture as a discipline and its relation to the evolution of mankind, alternative ways of developing new cities, and how design can impact people’s lives. We have also worked closely with an international selection of revered architecture practices and institutions to produce beautifully illustrated monographs, which not only characterise their work and the various disciplines adopted, but also document the effect this is having on communities around the world. We are excited about the future for Artifice Press, what this offers for us, and also for our publishing partners. Read on and enjoy. NEW AND UPCOMING TITLES Image from The Evolution of a Building Complex: Louis I. Kahn’s Salk Institute for Biological Studies THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX TELEVISION CENTRE REIMAGINED ARCHITECTS: AHMM During Britain’s post-war period, Television Centre was conceived and built as the new headquarters for the BBC. Bold and ambitious, its design made it the largest ‘factory for television’ of its kind in the world. Television Centre became the home of some of Britain’s most beloved personalities and programmes—including Doctor Who, Only Fools & Horses, Monty Python’s Flying Circus, Top of the Pops, and Blue Peter— and its iconic Grade II listed circular Helios building (‘the doughnut’) and atomic wall dots made it an architectural treasure and cultural icon. RRP £34.95 / $44.95 With its closure, Stirling Prize-winning architectural practice Allford Hall ISBN 978-1-911339-16-8 Monaghan Morris (AHMM) was asked by the project’s developer, Available Stanhope, to masterplan the expansive West London site, to restore Hardback Television Centre’s famous spaces as well as opening it up to the 240 pages 23 x 28 cm, portrait public for the first time in its history.

New approaches becoming urgently necessary, in what we can consider humanity’s first urban century. At a fundamental level, new developments in cities should be comfortable for people as well as safe, healthy, relatable, and stimulating.

The Gulf states have the £34.95 / $44.95 providence of abundant oil and gas supplies that generate wealth ISBN 978-1-911339-26-7 in the cities.

Hardback 416 pages Lifescapes Beyond Bigness explores alternative ways to make cities in 23 x 28 cm, portrait the United Arab Emirates, a nation well-known for its large-scale and ambitious building endeavours. Khaled Alawadi and his colleagues advocate a smaller, more human scale. Their ideas are deeply rooted in nature and culture. Their goal is nothing less than a radical rethinking and re-orientation of the cities in the UAE, away from the bigness of its recent past. In many regards, this is a bold undertaking, even more audacious than the muscular high rises that dominate the skylines of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Dr. Khaled Alawadi, Curator of the National Pavilion UAE, La Biennale di Venezia at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition, is an Assistant Professor of Sustainable Urbanism at Abu Dhabi’s Masdar Institute, part of Khalifa University of Science and Technology. His research is devoted to urban design, housing and urbanism, especially the relationships between the built environment and sustainable development. 12 ARTIFICE PRESS NEW AND UPCOMING TITLES 13 SHAPING THE WORLD TWO HUNDRED YEARS OF THE INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS Marking the 200th anniversary of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), Shaping the World presents a visually rich and intellectually compelling account of the institution’s illustrious past, present and future.
