We’re thrilled to be launching The Matter of Architecture: Geology, Buildings and Us, the new book by architectural writer Paul Dobraszczyk (@pauldobraszczyk). Paul will be joined by Nishat Awan, Professor of Architecture and Visual Culture at the UCL Urban Laboratory, and Adam Walls, Lecturer of History & Theory of Architecture at UCL. A Q&A will follow, moderated by Lars Cornelissen, Independent Social Research Foundation (ISRF) Academic Coordinator.

🗓️ Wednesday 3 June, 6–8pm
🗣️ Talk begins at 6.15pm
📓 Launch price £16 (RRP £20)
🏛️ AA Bookshop, 33 Bedford Square, London WC1B 3EE

What might architects do with or learn from the resources our planet creates? Can critical architecture recover a more equitable relationship to the mineral world? Or are we destined to continue to exploit the planet’s lithosphere as a resource for our consumption?

In his important new book, The Matter of Architecture, Paul Dobraszczyk approaches geology as the architecture of our planet, arguing that what we build has always been dependent on what Earth has already made. Yet, what we produce now will also become the geology of the future: billions of tonnes of concrete, plastic, brick, metals and other fabricated materials that are quickly piling up to eventually become new geological strata. From caves and crystals to volcanoes and earthquakes, The Matter of Architecture mines geology to find a more sympathetic way of building. Published by Reaktion Books (@reaktionbooks).

We’re delighted to be launching Dom Hans van der Laan in Practice: A Design Manual by Caroline Voet (@caroline.voet) here at the bookshop. The author will be joined by Philip Christou (@philip_christou) and Bruno Silvestre (@brunosilvestrearchitecture) for a conversation about drawing, the design challenges of the future and the poetics of space through the work of Dom Hans van der Laan.

🗓️ Wednesday 27 May, 6–8pm

📓 Launch price £30 (RRP £33)
🏛️ AA Bookshop, 33 Bedford Square, London WC1B 3EE

In this new title, published by nai010 publishers (@nai010_publishers), Caroline Voet unpicks the design principles of the Dutch Benedictine monk and architect. Step by step, Voet redraws van der Laan’s philosophy of architectural space and links it to the proportional system of the plastic number that underpinned his practice. In a series of clear, carefully constructed analyses, Voet explores the core principles of his elementary architecture (which was further developed by students of the Bossche School) through projects ranging from monasteries to residential houses. This new publication offers universal design tools for the reading and drawing of the built environment, linking it to experience and a layered human scale.

New from AA Publications: Renée Gailhoustet, ed. Nichola Barrington-Leach, 2026 (@n_v_b_l @aacommstudio @aaschool)
£45.00

Join the AA Publications team and Nichola Barrington-Leach for an event in the Front Members’ Room to mark the launch of this important new monograph.

🗓️ Tuesday 17 March, 6–8pm
📓 Launch price (RRP £45)
🏛️ AA Front Members’ Room and Bar, First Floor, 36 Bedford Square, London WC1B 3ES

This book presents the work of the French architect Renée Gailhoustet (1929–2023). A pioneering figure in the provision of generous and adaptable social housing in the communist red suburbs of Paris in the 1970s–1980s, Gailhoustet has been largely forgotten by histories of post-war architecture, only gaining recognition for her contributions in the past several years.

Three of Gailhoustet’s most prominent projects are illustrated with architectural drawings and contemporary photography, highlighting the projects’ interlocking concrete forms and integration of lush garden terraces. Texts in both English and French contextualise her practice and projects, situating them in the context of post-war housing construction in France and showing how her architecture opens to residents’ differing needs, the irregularity of the interior spaces asserting her belief in the architect as a defender of the right to difference.

The book presents research conceived, commissioned and directed by NVBL Architects (@n_v_b_l), expanding upon the exhibition Renée Gailhoustet: A Thousand and One Ways of Living, on view at the Architectural Association until 21 March 2026. With contributions by Gilles Delalex (@gllsdllx), Katherine Fiumani and Magda Maaoui (@magda.des.mz), with photographs by Sacha Trouiller (@sacha_trouiller) and Valerie Sadoun (@valeriesadoun), and drawings by NVBL Architects.

New! Mysteries of a Communist Cave, Lytle Shaw, 2026
£15.00

The second book in the Gumshoe series turns its investigative eye to Oscar Niemeyer’s unique construction for the French Communist Party in Paris. In Mysteries of a Communist Cave, Lytle Shaw conducts an investigation of Oscar Niemeyer’s building for the French Communist Party’s (PCF) central committee in Paris.

Designed in 1965, just as party theorists began to rethink many bedrock assumptions about representation, Oscar Niemeyer’s PCF building is a microcosm of the shifting political and architectural landscape of the 1960s. It is also a literal Marxist structure that can thus help us concretely picture just exactly what Structuralist Marxism might have been. Shaw draws out the PCF’s language and context one element at a time and puts the elegant curtain-wall building, with its cave-like assembly hall, into revelatory dialogue with interlocutors in film, philosophy, anthropology, and politics.

Gumshoe is a new series of architectural books that introduces an original approach to the writing of architectural history. Emulating the detective novel, the focus is on actual buildings rather than on speculative designs and theories. Gumshoe is edited by Thomas Weaver & Françoise Fromonot (@francoisefromonot) and published by Park Books (@park_books).

Launching next week! Dom Hans van der Laan in Practice: A Design Manual by Caroline Voet (@caroline.voet). The author will be joined by Philip Christou (@philip_christou) and Bruno Silvestre (@brunosilvestrearchitecture) for a conversation about drawing, the design challenges of the future and the poetics of space through the work of Dom Hans van der Laan.

In this new title published by nai010 publishers (@nai010_publishers), Caroline Voet unpicks the design principles of the Dutch Benedictine monk and architect. Voet redraws van der Laan’s philosophy of architectural space and links it to the proportional system of the plastic number that underpinned his practice. In a series of clear, carefully constructed analyses, Voet explores the core principles of his elementary architecture (which was further developed by students of the Bossche School) through projects ranging from monasteries to residential houses. This publication offers universal design tools for the reading and drawing of the built environment, linking it to experience and a layered human scale.

Join us for the launch of Seeking Abundance: Design, Ecology and a Flourishing Planet, co-edited by Sierra Bainbridge (@sierralakinbainbridge) and Alan Ricks (@alanricks). We are delighted to welcome Alan Ricks, founding principal and co-executive director of MASS (@massdesigngroup), and Kelly Alvarez Doran (@knelsond), co-founder of Ha/f Climate Design (@halfclimatedesign), to the AA Bookshop to celebrate the launch of Seeking Abundance.

🗓️ Wednesday 20 May, 6–8pm
🗣️ Talk begins at 6.15pm
📓 Launch price £45 (RRP £55)
🏛️ AA Bookshop, 33 Bedford Square, London WC1B 3EE

Regenerative design is a way of building that heals our planet and our communities by halting biodiversity loss, reversing climate change and improving social equity. Seeking Abundance argues for reducing the harm our building activities wage in our environments and insists that we can – and must – help people and the planet thrive together. The proof? Over the last decade, the non-profit practice MASS has undertaken projects in Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo that attest to the positive social, environmental and economic impacts of regenerative design. These projects represent a coherent and replicable philosophy that respond to local ecologies and transform lives. This groundbreaking new book, published by Oro Editions (@oro_editions), examines how the power of multidisciplinary collaboration, regenerative practices and community engagement can actively contribute to a healthier, more harmonious world.

Join us for the launch of At Home in the City by Alan Power. We’re delighted to be joined by the author and Anna Watson for an informal discussion and drinks to mark the publication of this new title.

🗓️ Wednesday 13 May, 6–8pm
🗣️ Talk begins at 6.15pm
📓 Launch price £40 (RRP £45)
🏛️ AA Bookshop, 33 Bedford Square, London WC1B 3EE

The concept of home represents fundamental human needs – both for physical shelter and emotional belonging – yet housing provision is a perpetual and global issue. Could awkward, unusual and difficult urban sites hold the key to unlocking more homes? At Home in the City examines how architects can overcome the restrictions and challenges of overlooked sites to create dwellings of imaginative power. The projects showcased demonstrate the potential hidden within a place, engaging with the character of the site – its location, orientation and aspect – to create reflective and expansive domestic space for a variety of lifestyles.

Alan Power (@alanpowerarchitects) studied architecture at Kingston College of Art and the AA School of Architecture (@aaschool), where he worked with the Czech theorist and historian Dalibor Vesely. This education anchored his interest in the city as the crucible for architecture and stimulated the question as to how it may be reinvented as a poetic place to dwell. He is a registered architect and runs his eponymous architecture studio in London.

Anna Watson is Commissioning Editor at RIBA Publishing (@riba). Together with her colleague Clare Holloway, she focuses predominantly on the topics of domestic architecture, diversity in the architecture profession and general interest and culture titles within RIBA Publishing’s wide-ranging list.

Antifascist Architecture, Andrew Santa Lucia & Daniel Jonas Roche with illustrations by Lane Rick, 2026 (@danjoroche @lanerick)
£32

Architects, historians, and theorists have had a weird obsession with fascist architecture since postmodernism. Why? And who are the antifascist architects? What does antifascist architecture look like? Antifascist Architecture is the first attempt at creating a working definition of antifascist architecture after academia has spent decades fetishising fascist architecture.

Brilliant scholarship has of course been presented about anti-colonial architecture, liberation architecture, and so forth. Yet antifascist architecture is an avenue that remains to be explored. This book does just that, offering a kaleidoscopic, peripatetic bricolage of architects who heroically aligned themselves with antifascist struggles, buildings made in the name of antifascism, and a call to arms for antifascist utopian futures. It is written for students and practitioners of architecture, but also activists and scholars in the social sciences who are interested in antifascist history, theory, and practice. Published by Park Books (@park_books).
