Study association AnArchi for architecture and urbanism at the TU Eindhoven welcomes you during the national book week to visit their bookmarket with many architecture and urbanism publications as well as books on other interesting topics regarding the built environment. We have curated a great selection of books by Jap Sam Books that can be found at this market for a discounted price.

We were shocked last week by the unexpected news of the loss of Lizan Freijsen.

Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones.

CBK Rotterdam published a touching memoriam on their website for the wonderful human, maker, and mentor Lizan Freijsen who we all will miss deeply.

Jap Sam Books and Monika Auch are pleased to invite you to the TOLHUIS in Amsterdam on February 4th for the launch of Stitch Your Brain. A unique hybrid project at the intersection of art and science by artist Monika Auch, with a stunning design by Studio Joost Grootens.

One of our latest publications [UN]FINISHED: Atlas of Athens' Incomplete Buildings - A Story of Hidden Antimonuments will be presented during the first edition of Omnibus, a new series of book events at the Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam. In each edition, presentation and talk will highlight two new publications. We are excited to be part of this evening!

Our recent publication Fugitive Archives: A Sourcebook for Centering Africa in Histories of Architecture has been included in this years January issue of Domus, a classic Architecture & Design magazine from Italy.

Today, we close our doors here in the office in Prinsenbeek. It’s been a rollercoaster this year. 37 books in total (one came from the printer this week and one is still at the printer). It was a special year also because of so many wonderful collaborations.
