A privileged view of the sketchbooks of over eighty architects and studios, showing how they use drawing to express their spatial ideas while revealing their individual methods

Architects' Sketchbooks shows what goes on in architects' minds as they envisage the built World and recast it through their imagination and visual skill.

This is the first survey to present the private sketchbooks of 85 architects, from such starchitects as Will Alsop, Shigeru Ban, Norman Foster and Eva Jiricna to rising talents from all over the world.

Will Jones's introduction explores the artistry behind the built world, and the importance of sketching as part of the design process; the sketches themselves range from simple pencil line drawings and clear perspectives to abstract compositions in pastel and collage, from quick freehand to measured mapping, from spontaneous squiggles on napkins to careful drawings on art paper.

Densely packed with over 750 illustrations, Architects' Sketchbooks is a celebration of how a sketch can become the start of a skyscraper.

Dazzling illustrations and concise, helpful texts make this an indispensable reference for anyone curious about the great architects and buildings of yesterday and today.

From Alvar Aalto to Peter Zumthor, from the Renaissance to the 21st century, this comprehensive guide introduces readers to the major names, schools, and structures in the field of architecture. Each entry focuses on a seminal figure and one of his or her career-defining works. Arranged alphabetically, the book is easy to use, and the large, superbly reproduced color illustrations allow readers to examine the details of each of the buildings it celebrates. The volume also features a glossary of architectural movements and technical terms. Beautifully produced and reasonably priced, this reference guide is a great addition to any coffee table.

In our modern, high-tech society, traditional craftsmanship has increasingly had to give way to mass production. Synthetic materials have taken over from natural ones, and the world of construction in 2008 appears to revolve around efficiency, standardisation and cost optimisation.

However, a growing number of individuals are reacting against these tendencies by working to create authentic and personal living environments.

This new home-design philosophy has had an impact in many areas: a lot of distinctive old residences, farms, country houses and other homes are undergoing careful restoration; industrially manufactured furniture is being replaced by unique, handmade pieces; and preference is given to natural materials and finishes, rather than mass production.

Within this context, it is easy to see why valuable construction materials and pieces from the past are being reclaimed, restored and reintegrated into properties: these “architectural antiques” ensure that every home can have a unique cachet.

Whether it’s an 18th-century wooden floor, reclaimed Burgundy slabs, authentic handmade roof tiles and slates, antique fireplaces, or other historic features, these construction materials always offer the opportunity for every home project to have an authentic character, as is clearly illustrated by the many inspiring projects featured in this book.

Dealers in antique construction materials also occupy a very important place in these developments, convincingly demonstrating how their unique discoveries, often to be found in a variety of warehouses and showrooms, can be integrated into magnificent homes. The growing professionalism within this sector has in recent years ensured that an increasing number of architects, interior specialists and private individuals have been able to find materials that suit them perfectly within the ever-expanding assortment of architectural antiques.

Doors are prominent and essential elements of all buildings. They pave the way into and out of a building. Thus, doors are simultaneously an article of daily use and an explicit statement of the homeowner. They can serve as an invitation just as well as a barrier. Due to the variety of potential uses and statements the door is an integral, yet very intricate architectural component.

Through the eye of excellent photographers with exceptional attention to detail, this volume attempts to capture the magnificent diversity of doors from all architectural epochs and styles found in Europe’s greatest cities. It documents the entire scope of entrance design from ancient to brand new, from frugal to pompously ornate, from functional to playful.

The volume is part of a series, which is focused not on prominent buildings at large but on ingenious and extraordinary details.

The new series sends the reader on a journey across European metropolises. Thereby, the attention is focused not on prominent buildings at large but on ingenious and extraordinary details. Each book concerns with a different constructional element. The first three volumes present doors, windows and façades from all architectural epochs and styles. Whether new or old, nice or bizarre – here you will find an architectural kaleidoscope of a special kind.
