Landscape architecture is comprised of a wide and multifaceted range of very diverse outdoor space designs – that can be stern or playful, shrill or romantic, straightforward or low-key. As their main ‘building materials’ are trees and shrubs, flowers and grass, landscape architecture projects are in a constant state of flux. They range from expansive natural and cultivated landscapes, via picturesque front yards and courtyards, spectacular greened façades and roofs, up to innovative outdoor designs that nearly or completely make do without any vegetation at all. 

All works featured in the Atlas of World Landscape Architecture share the fact that they constitute and provide ecologically and socially intact living environments for human beings.

Атлас мировой ландшафтной архитектуры представляет собой обширное и многогранное собрание различных проектов ландшафтного обустройства пространства. Эти проекты могут быть строгими или игривыми, кричащими или романтическими, откровенными или сдержанными. Поскольку основными «строительными материалами», используемыми при реализации этих проектов, являются деревья и кустарники, трава и цветы, объекты ландшафтной архитектуры подвержены постоянным изменениям.

Все эти проекты находятся в диапазоне, включающем как обширные природные территории и живописные наружные и внутренние дворы, так и красочные озелененные фасады и крыши, а также новаторские произведения под открытым небом, авторы которых полностью или почти полностью обошлись без использования каких-либо растений.

Все работы, представленные в Атласе мировой ландшафтной архитектуры, объединяет тот факт, что они создают и обеспечивают экологически и социально устойчивые условия для жизни людей.

What "really constitutes an architectural atmosphere,” Peter Zumthor says, is "this singular density and mood, this feeling of presence, well-being, harmony, beauty ... under whose spell I experience what I otherwise would not experience in precisely this way.” Zumthor’s passion is the creation of buildings that produce this kind of effect, but how can one actually set out to achieve it?

In nine short, illustrated chapters framed as a process of self-observation, Peter Zumthor describes what he has on his mind as he sets about creating the atmosphere of his houses. Images of spaces and buildings that affect him are every bit as important as particular pieces of music or books that inspire him. From the composition and "presence” of the materials to the handling of proportions and the effect of light, this poetics of architecture enables the reader to recapitulate what really matters in the process of house design.

Designed to be informative, as well as visually stimulating, this book offers the best and latest solutions to both old and new interior design problems and queries. By featuring real-life locations and clear detailed photographs, the book shows how people have actually tackled projects, such as re-fitting or re-designing a room, or selecting the light fittings or door handles to suit a scheme.

They also give an indication of how the owners planned and executed the task. 

The text also gives guidelines as to what the people involved in the project have learned in the process and pointers to possible pitfalls and danger areas to avoid. With photographs of beautifully designed interiors, this guide explains and shows how to tackle the development and styling of a room.

The first overview of Australian architecture from the fifties to the present day

Everyone likes a good hotel, the same way that no one likes a bad hotel. It’s also important to remember that everyone drools over the best hotels. This large book is a visual guide to the best hotels on offer in the world today. We don’t just mean the hotel you visit once every two years – even though it’s pretty amazing and has its own pool; we mean the hotels you see criminal masterminds relax in from James Bond films. We mean the hotels with the maxim to eliminate all possible limits that deconstruct pleasure. From the psychedelic kaleidoscope Semiramis in Greece featuring bright coloured glass walls and retro padded furniture, to the hotels where you can actually dive behind your lounge into the sand-bed shallow reef, or an actual castle in an actual oasis in Dubai, you will actually sweat with jealousy and disbelief that these places actually exist.

The dramatic 1925 Paris Exhibition heralded the emergence of the Art Deco movement as a great decorative style. The photographs in this book were originally published in three volumes to show the rooms furnished for the exhibition. These original books are now extremely rare and expensive.

This classic work reproduces duotone plates from original volumesfirst published in 1926 to illustrate the rooms furnished for the 1925 ParisExposition des Arts Décoratifs which launched the Art Deco movement. The rooms display a treasure trove of original features, including carpets, lighting, wall hangings and classic quality furniture of the period. Amongthe interiors illustrated are grand reception rooms, bedrooms and boudoirs,artists' studios, dining rooms, hallways and a kitchen. Alastair Duncan's scholarly introduction and the detailed documentary captions, which identify the designers, architects and decorators, provide a unique insight into the decorative style of this important period. The book is an essential acquisition for all modern designers, decorators, home furnishers and collectors.

The Author Maurice Dufrêne was a renowned professional decorator, editor of Maîtrise des Galeries Lafayette and president of Class 7 at the prestigious ParisExhibition des Arts Décoratifs. Alastair Duncan is a leading authority on the Art Deco style and has written many books, catalogues and magazine articles on the subject.
