Huussi – Death to the flushing toilet

Arvinius + Orfeus Publishing 2023 ISBN 9789189270596 Acqn 33615

Pb 16x21cm 112pp col ills £23

Water is needed to grow food and keep ecosystems thriving, not to flush down toilets. We also
need to realise that our waste is not waste but a valuable resource.

The current sanitation infrastructure needs to be critically reassessed in the context of global
freshwater shortages and broken nutrient flows, which cause serious ecosystem damage
globally. By questioning the so far indisputable position of the water-based sanitation system, this
book aims to inspire architects and professionals to start looking for alternative solutions to better
serve the world we inhabit today.

The topics of sustainable sanitation are explored through expert articles, which provide in-depth
knowledge such as on the history of sanitation, nutrient flows and circular waste economies. This
book accompanies The Dry Collective's exhibition 'Huussi - Imagining the Future History of
Sanitation', curated by Arja Renell and presented by Archinfo in the Pavilion of Finland at the 18th
International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia.

Adjusting our ways of living in the face of climate change is taking place now, not in the future. In
the future, the flushing toilet as we know it will be history.

Danish Ceramic Architecture
Arvinius + Orfeus Publishing 2023 ISBN 9789189270169 Acqn 33616
Hb 21x29cm 272pp col ills £59

Danish Ceramic Architecture offers a presentation of Danish architecture that has not been seen
before. With ceramic and light brick facades as a medium, it narrates a piece of Danish
architectural history unknown to most people. It is thus a new way of approaching the Danish
architectural treasure - by zooming in on approximately the past 130 years and otherwise
overlooked buildings, as well as telling new stories about well-known works. This is how the book
demonstrates why this particular style of architecture is something professionals and others
interested in architecture and aesthetics should be aware of.

Through essays by and interviews with leading architecture thinkers and practitioners - as well as
dozens of projects with facades in ceramic and light tile, by major Danish architectural firms such
as Vilhelm Lauritzen, Cobe and BIG - the purpose of the book is to relate ceramic and light tile
facades to central Danish (and international) currents in architecture and material. In this way, it
will help pointing forward to new forms of expression for Danish architecture.

Souvenir – Peter Johansson
Arvinius + Orfeus Publishing 2023 ISBN 9789197658362 Acqn 33617
Hb 19x19cm 33pp col ills £23

Peter Johansson invited nearly 50 of Sweden's female and male role models in culture, politics,
society and the humanities to let them present some of the works of art, from the 80s until today,
that have made him one of Sweden's funniest social critic. With humor and visual playfulness, his
friends have had to relate to art, like the director Ingmar Bergman to death.

In the reference book, author Ulrika Knutson has also gathered thoughts about the book's title
Souvenir into an instructive and brilliant text, which addresses the ancient Greeks' relationship to
things as well as today's modern collections of selfies.
