Tenth volume on the new Novartis Campus in Basel, a laboratory building by Japanese architect Yoshio Taniguchi, renowned for his extension to the MOMA in New York. Taniguchi balanced the specific demands of a research building against an elegant arcade theme with columns, mezzanine floors and glass bridges, creating a 'floating box' that is showcased with photography, designs, specifications and texts by Ulrike Jehle-Schulte Strathaus, Christian W. Blaser, Christoph Butscher and Taniguchi himself.

Juan Navarro Baldeweg is regarded as one of the worlds most interesting representatives of todays architectural avant-garde. In the mid-1970s, Baldeweg began to focus on light, space and gravitation, gaining insights that would become the cornerstones of his architectural word. He is also a multifaceted artist. Besides his architectural work, Baldeweg has repeatedly turned to painting as a creative outlet.

<p>Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, has one of the most important buildings of the 20th century: its parliamentary building by Louis I. Kahn constructed between 1961 and 1982. Little is known, however, about the local architecture scene that has emerged since then. Yet contemporary architecture in Bangladesh exhibits a strong formal idiom that has its roots in tradition and is combined with an innovative handling of local resources such as bamboo and brick.Alongside texts by Andreas Ruby, Niklaus Graber, Kazi Khaleed, Saif Ul Haque and Syed Manzoorul Islam, the special photographs taken by Iwan Baan for this publication capture the imagination.</p>
