Hardback. Condition: New. RZLBD Hopscotch, the first monograph on RZLBD's work, focuses on its built projects over the last five years, while including a selection of past works and polemical writings that set the foundation for the practice. With a particular interest in the house as an archetypal model of the world, whilst implementing the guiding idea that design belongs to everyone and that "modern has to be affordable", the work of RZLBD occupies a unique position in its exploration of new ideas for contemporary infill dwellings. Along with architectural projects and writings, the book is also a record of Aliabadi's search for a design language and his unique perspective coming out of his three major solo expeditions-to the North Pole, round the world in 49 days and the 'Trans-Canada', across the country from Atlantic to Pacific.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Part aphorism and part manifesto, this book by Canadian architect Reza Aliabadi (RZLBD) references his ideas and thoughts about space. He suggests 'the empty room' as the very essence of architecture, and 'the spatial experience' as its highest mandate. Reza revisits architecture - not as the walls that enclose the space - rather the space in-between the walls. What he calls an "anti-architecture" of invisible voids. Today architecture has fallen short as a discipline and has instead converted into an industry, part of commercial establishment. Accordingly it has given up its capacity to offer contributions and has been reduced to being a service. It has become all about a form-making exercise and dressing it up with a fashionable skin. Now, it is necessary or rather urgent to pause, take a moment, go inward, search for the essentials, and hope to rediscover a principle which is at once basic and timeless.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. As a sequel to The Empty Room: Fragmented thoughts on Space (Actar, 2020), this book by Canadian architect Reza Aliabadi (RZLBD) elaborates the same theme with one hundred iterations of a square room, each of which tells a different story of the emptiness between the walls.The Empty Room, in the absence of any visual materials, was a written manifesto composed of RZLBD's poems and collection of quotes intended to portray the room and the emptiness as the essence of architecture. Now, 100 Rooms complements our own blurry images of the empty room with a visual guide. Each spread consists of a plan and a physical model of a room, which is an excavation of the geometry and order inherent within the square. It holds no design intention - no scale or function - but simply one of infinite possibilities that emerge from a square. This framework suggests that the formal expression of a room comes from within. With these visual references, one can begin to imagine many approximations to the empty room. A line on paper is always less, as Kahn says, but through these measurable means, the immeasurable idea of the empty room will be formed in one's mind.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. With a vintage typewriter in hand, Reza Aliabadi (who works under the pseudonym RZLBD) revives the lost craft of letter writing. With his ongoing project RZLBD Letters, he revisits the capacity of the letter as a medium and a manual typewriter as an instrument beyond their utilitarian purpose. For over two years, the Toronto-based artist and architect has submitted himself to typing over 200 imaginary, heartfelt pages to historical artists who have inspired him deeply. Paying homage to figures including Yoko Ono, Donald Judd, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and even Pi, the language on the surface at first glance may seem familiar; yet, looking closer, only each artist can fully decipher the meaning of their particular letter. While some letters only took a couple of hours (writing to figure Pi, for instance), others took 365 days. A revival of letter writing that delves into the visual domains of brilliant creatives using a vintage manual typewriter Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
