Media, Politics, and Aesthetics
2022 || Paperback || Léa-Catherine Szacka e.a. || Jap Sam Books

It examines architecture’s intersection with media, politics and aesthetics. From Nazi Germany to Trump’s presidency the use of architecture and its relationship with ideologies is reflected upon, as well as how architectural aspirations are reshaped in the light of different populist ramifications. This issue is an open inquiry into...

Koen Taselaar. Rollable Ramblings
2021 || Paperback || Katalin Herzog || Jap Sam Books
The work of Koen Taselaar is a unique universe in which only he determines the rules. He makes skillful drawings, but also clumsy ceramics and elaborate Tapestries.
Taselaar’s visual language emerged from the grey area in which text is not only meaning but also form. He expresses this in drawn puns, imaginary record sleeves or large psychedelic paintings. In search of ways to process his diverse output, he makes publications and large scale drawings, which function as flat exhibition space...

Stories behind the statistics of urbanization and growth
2022 || Paperback || Stephanie Bakker e.a. || Jap Sam Books
More than 70 percent of the world’s population will be living in urban areas by 2050. Cities in Africa, Latin America and Asia in particular are growing like never before.

A Colour Has Many Layers. Liesbeth Piena
2021 || Paperback || Jurriaan Benschop e.a. || Jap Sam Books
Liesbeth Piena (1993) maakt krachtige schilderijen waarin planten en natuurlijke landschappen worden teruggebracht tot essentiële vormen. Ze kijkt met een analytische blik naar de werkelijkheid, waarin kleine details haar aandacht trekken. Uit haar observaties isoleert ze opvallende fragmenten en stelt daarmee nieuwe beelden samen. Liesbeth Piena is prijswinnaar van de Sieger White Award 2020 voor getalenteerde jonge kunstenaars.

111 INCEPTION
2022 || Paperback || Anna Bates || Jap Sam Books
What is inspiration? What inspires you? 111 INCEPTION is a chain of inspiration, which involves 111 architects from around the world.
This book was not guided by theory, yet it grew out of a search for new ways to look at authorship, ideas and inspiration. The experimental and playful character of the project itself, with its unpredictable outcomes, allowed for a much needed change of perspective—away from the traditional approach to creation characteristic of modernity and towards inspirat...
Footprint 28
ALL IS IN FORMATION. ARCHITECTURE, CYBERNETICS, ECOLOGY
2021 || Paperback || Stavros Kousoulas e.a. || Jap Sam Books
Footprint #28 examines the relation between cybernetics and architecture by focusing on a problem they both share: the production, consumption and flow of information, or, in other terms, of meaning. Therefore, cyberneticisation can set the foundations for a relational account that examines how signs are communicated and how meaning is produced and experienced within systems. This third-order cybernetics extends beyond the original scope of living organisms and their environments in order to ...
SJANGHAIPARK
Experimenteel geworteld in het alledaagse | Experimentally rooted in the everyday
2021 || Paperback || Martine Bakker e.a. || Jap Sam Books
Al meer dan vijftig jaar is het Sjanghaipark een groene vrijplaats tussen de moderne stempels van Utrecht-Overvecht. Buurtbewoners en kunstenaars formuleerden samen het ongebruikelijke uitgangspunt: de identiteit van dit park ligt niet vast, maar vormt zich doorlopend. Naar het spel van kinderen, de wandelgang van ouderen, de planten die aanwaaien, kortom naar de tijd. Daarmee deed het Sjanghaipark aan placemaking avant la lettre en was het park al klimaatbestendig toen daar nog geen beleid v...
