In the past hundred years or so, ‘chintz’ has come to mean any floral printed furnishing fabric. Its origins as a hand-drawn and dyed fabric from India are often forgotten, but it is with these rare earlier chintzes that this book is concerned. It explores in detail the background and development of this beautiful technique and looks at the use of chintzes in Europe from the early 17th century to the mid-19th century, first as bed-curtains and wall-hangings and later for popular men’s and women’s dress. The V&A’s collection, published for the first time in glorious colour and including close-up details, will interest interior designers, textiles students and those involved in fashion.

From Berlin to Beirut, David Chipperfield (born 1953) aspires to an architecture founded on collaboration, ideas, and excellence. His buildings are intended as physically immediate spaces in which “a sort of ordinariness” becomes remarkable, and by which the individual structure coexists with broader concepts of city-building.

Chipperfield’s vision has driven major projects around the globe, from the famed rebuilding of the Neues Museum in Berlin, Germany, to the Amorepacific Headquarters in Seoul. His architec­tural practice has won many international competitions and numerous awards and citations for design excellence.

In vivid images and accessible texts, this book covers Chipperfield’s most striking projects to introduce the architect suspicious of “starchitecture,” but nevertheless a global star on the architecture stage.

About the series:

Each book in TASCHEN’s Basic Architecture series features:

- an introduction to the life and work of the architect 
- the major works in chronological order
- information about the clients, architectural preconditions as well as construction problems and resolutions
- a list of all the selected works and a map indicating the locations of the best and most famous buildings
- approximately 120 illustrations (photographs, sketches, drafts, and plans)

This three-volume catalogue of the 10th International Architecture Exhibition presents an anthology of ideas centered around this year's theme: the meta-city.

The changes in the physical and social structure of today's city have resulted in a new kind of civilian agglomeration that extends beyond the traditional form, concept, and boundaries of the city, causing profound transformations in the composition of its population and working habits.

The International Exhibition, curated by Richard Burdett, will focus on the transformations of cities around the world, featuring New York, London, Berlin, Moscow, Tokyo, Shanghai, Mumbai, Mexico City, São Paulo Beirut, Istanbul, Johannesburg, and Lagos. Additionally, the biennale will propound a manifesto for rational development of cities in the 21st century.

This book will be the definitive catalogue of what is perhaps the most important architecture exhibition in the world.

This selection of collective housing projects covers a wide range of possibilities within its category, in such a way that equally included are government protected housing projects as luxury apartments which constitute an alternative to the house. From small blocks up to large housing developments, including refurbishments and eminently vertical constructions, all the projects are innovative housing proposals, the objective of which is to apportion quality of life.

Cities don't have to be faceless lines of gray boxes. City Embellishments Barcelona presents dozens of fresh ideas for bringing big cities back to a human scale. Small details like a carved facade, a tiny green space, benches, touches of bold color, a sheltering doorway, planters, and more. Each of these warm, distintive touches is expertly explained by the best authority available: the designing architects themselves.

    Living in the city offers a series of advantages: public transport, proximity to amenities, schools and work places, museums, sports centres, restaurants, etc. The city attracts an increasing number of young people, as well as the elders who return after having lived in the countryside or quiet suburbs for decades.
    This book presents a series of recently renovated and remodelled urban residences: majestic master houses that are restored to their original glory, as well as contemporary island houses, exclusive villas, and new
apartments, lofts and penthouses.
    A similarity lies in this range of diversified works: the inspiration of architects, interior designers and the residents into a spatial unity, serenity and quality of life that are reflected in the structure of each house, and in the selection of materials and colours.
    This publication serves a source of inspiration for those who currently reside in the city, or are aspiring to purchase or rent a house to soak in the glorious sights and sounds of city life.

To say that the city has once again become the preferred habitat of humans would be stating the obvious. It has been calculated that in the next few years nearly 80% of humanity will live or work in the city. Inevitably, people feel a powerful and rather inexplicable attraction for the masses, modernity, and technology. The city holds our strongest desires and highest achievements, but also our toughest challenges and greatest uncertainty. The modern city imposes a rhythm on our lives that is reflected in our homes and in how we want them to be. Beyond its surface area, a house, as an extension of our own bodies, is and should be a mirror of our habits, customs and tastes; the entire urban space, from tiny flats to spacious lofts and single-family homes, must have a certain grandeur that its occupant can identify with. Just as the uniformity of a media-driven society searches for what's new and for style of its own, the need is similarly emerging to personalize our homes.

An interior design authority and a famed Angeleno photographer team up to present thirty of the most exceptional homes and gardens in one of the world’s most design-savvy cities

Los Angeles’s dramatic setting, Mediterranean climate, and outdoor lifestyle have long attracted creative individuals to its diverse neighborhoods. The thirty houses and gardens featured in City of Angels, designed by renowned architects, interior designers, and garden designers, offer a rich mix of quirkiness, elegance, glitz, and Hollywood pizazz. Expertly guided by author Jennifer Ash Rudick and photographer Firooz Zahedi, we visit Kelly Wearstler’s beach house in Malibu, Hutton Wilkinson’s exotic ranch in the Santa Monica Mountains, a midcentury modern Schindler house, John Lautner’s vertigo-inducing modernist glass box in the Hollywood Hills, and Richard Shapiro’s overgrown gardens surrounding a magnificent Hispano-Moorish house in Holmby Hills
