In Good Company by Walter Pfieffer had been published to accompany his exhibition at Pinacoteca Agnelli but it is not the usual exhibition catalogue.
Published by Mousse Magazine & Publishing, this book offers a compelling introduction to Walter Pfeiffer ‘s photographic practice. Conceived as a photo book rather than a conventional catalogue, it foregrounds visual associations over chronology through an extensive sequence of images, reflecting Pfeiffer’s longstanding approach to bookmaking and his anti-hierarchical vision. The publication includes an essay by Nicola Trezzi, co-curator of the exhibition with Simon Castets, which reconsiders Pfeiffer as a “prophet of image-making.” A fully illustrated list of works complements the volume, providing a rigorous historical framework.

Twenty-One Conversations with Architects brings together more than a decade and a half’s worth of interviews conducted by Barcelona-based architecture firm Arquitectura-G, published in Apartamento magazine since its very first issue in 2008. Expansive, technical, submerged, the book threads together some of architecture’s most singular minds, crossing decades, archives, disciplines, and countries, and placing multiple generations of architects side by side in a single volume. What started as a takeover of the magazine’s architecture section has now become something else entirely: a portrait of the studio itself, their own obsessions surfacing across every conversation—questions of scale, ambiguity, hedonism, bathrooms, dances, the house as a laboratory. As they open these interviews to the anthology, the architects unfold a series of choices in houses and homes that are deeply personal to those who conceived them, united by their fundamental questioning of universal needs answered by universal forms. What ties these houses together is something beyond architecture—less about having built them, and more about having gone on living inside the questions they raised. Twenty-one conversations later, Arquitectura-G draws each architect into a new one—curated together, and compiled by Moises Puente, they are now asked to speak to each other across time.
