Several new books by Bernard Tschumi have been published in the spring and summer of 2014, to informally coincide with the exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. In addition to the exhibition catalogue, Architecture: Concept & Notation, a bestselling bilingual edition published by the Centre Pompidou, there are books on the Parc de la Villette, Tschumi’s sketches, and the Paris Zoo. The first book, published by Artifice Books in French and English, Tschumi Parc de la Villette is the first book by Tschumi to fully explore the park’s design in detail with essays by Tschumi, Anthony Vidler, and Jacques Derrida. Another book, Notations: Diagrams and Sequences, collects for the first time Bernard Tschumi’s sketches as a visual argument for concepts in architecture. Also published by Artifice Books, the title is released in separate editions in English and French. Finally, a book in French on the Paris Zoo is titled Architecture Zoo with photographs by Iwan Baan, published by Somogy. Also published is the first French-language edition of Architecture and Disjunction and a children’s book on the Parc de la Villette, Archicube.
