In architecture, nothing is ever truly new; everything has been tried before. And nowhere is this more evident than in the architecture of housing. Each proffered solution to a specific architectural problem is actually an amalgam of predecessors' ideas and new approaches, which itself contributes in turn to a great global 'pool' for succeeding concepts. For twenty years, this philosophy has driven the activities of Zurich-based cooperative Pool Architekten, with a special focus on the research and design of residential buildings.Poolology of Housing is an up-close look at the collective's body of work and a potential font of inspiration for others interested in letting this philosophy guide the creation of innovative architecture. At the core of the book are two hundred floor plans, designed by members of the collective and students during Pool Architects' tenure from 2013 to 2016 at Technische Universität Berlin. Direct comparison of these floor plans demonstrates the incredible scope an architect has for residential buildings despite the many constraints imposed by external factors. Richly illustrated with both built and unrealised projects by Pool Architekten, as well as of model replicas of iconic historic interiors, Poolology of Housing reflects a novel social culture of housing design. Text in English and German.

In 2020, the Swiss canton of Zurich commissioned Zurich-based firm pool Architekten with the design of a system for temporary sports halls to meet growing demand for such facilities on public school campuses. Each building is intended to remain at a single location for 10 to 15 years, until it is either relocated or stored for future reuse. pool Architekten proposed a prefabricated timber construction system that enables a variety of spatial configurations and appearances, allowing for careful integration into each site’s environment. The components are designed for up to three assemblies over a 30-year total lifespan.This book explores how pool Architekten applied the concept of design for disassembly, their underlying constructive principles, and the manufacturing and initial assembly of these temporary sports halls. Conceived as a project journal, the volume documents—through images, plans, and texts—an important and innovative contribution to achieve sufficiency, sustainability, and circular economy in architecture and construction.Text in English and German.
