PISÉ – HYBRID CONSTRUCTIONS. TRADITION AND POTENTIAL // Roger Boltshauser, Mirjam Kupferschmid, Janina Flückiger, Marlène Witry // Triest Verlag

What if the future of architecture lies beneath our feet?

Pisé – Hybrid Constructions explores the renewed potential of earth as a contemporary building material — not as nostalgia, but as a serious architectural and ecological proposition. From Morocco to Switzerland, from historical precedents to experimental research, this remarkable new publication examines how rammed earth and hybrid natural-material systems can reshape the way we build.

Across 480 richly illustrated pages, the book connects material research, climate-responsive design, prefabrication, structural innovation and architectural culture. Featuring projects by ETH Zürich, EPFL Lausanne and contemporary practices working at the intersection of sustainability and construction technology, it demonstrates how earth construction can move from craft to scalable building culture.

The publication asks urgent questions:
— Can low-tech construction become a new architectural standard?
— How do we build with fewer resources and greater spatial quality?
— What role can natural materials play in the future city?

A visually stunning and intellectually ambitious book for architects, designers, researchers and anyone interested in regenerative architecture.

MAKE SPACE FOR CHANGE. The Transformative Power of Exhibition Design Explored by Kossmanndejong // Femke Bijlsma, Lieke Ketelaars, Maaike Sips //
J*p Sam Books

How can space make people change?

Exhibition design is often seen as the design of displays. But in reality, it is the design of experience, narrative, and perception.

Make Space for Change explores how spatial storytelling can shape the way we understand ideas—how we move through them, how we interpret them, and how they affect us. Developed by Kossmanndejong, the book positions exhibition design as a spatial practice where architecture and narrative become inseparable.

Here, space is not a neutral container. It becomes an active medium: guiding attention, structuring emotion, and framing meaning. From museums to public installations, exhibition spaces are designed as sequences—carefully composed experiences that invite reflection and change.

For architects, designers, and spatial thinkers, this raises a fundamental question:

If space can shape understanding, what kind of change are you designing for?
