An authoritative compendium on the main masterpieces of Frank Gehry, including 480 illustrations and photographs, produced in collaboration with Cahiers d’Art.

Experimenting with a range of materials from cheap mass-produced items to space-age titanium, and using 3D computer modelling as an architectural tool, Frank Gehry’s buildings are remarkable and surprising, united by the sense of movement they convey. His projects flow, curve, bend, and crumple in novel and unexpected ways, subverting traditional building norms.

From his own home in Santa Monica to the undu­lating Beekman Tower in New York, from the shining curves of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao to the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, and his most recent construction, Luma Arles, Gehry has left his indelible mark on the history of architectural design. Forty of the renowned architect’s most remarkable works are presented by architect and critic Jean-Louis Cohen, alongside views of the interiors and exteriors of each building. This tour includes many of Gehry’s works throughout the United States and abroad, such as the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the one-of-a-kind “Binoc­ulars Building” in Los Angeles, and the beloved “Dancing House” in Prague.

About the Authors:

Frank Gehry’s architecture has had the rare distinction of pleasing critics, academics, and the public alike. When he was awarded the Pritzker Prize in 1989, Vanity Fair has called him “the most important architect of our age.” Jean-Louis Cohen is France’s most authoritative historian of twentieth-century architecture. He has published more than forty books and curated numerous architectural expositions. He is the Sheldon H. Solow Professor in the History of Architecture department at NYU’s Institute of Fine Arts and holds a chair at the Collège de France.

Frank Lloyd Wright Paper Models features step-by-step instructions and templates so you can create beautiful kirigami versions of Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic modernist architecture.

“Kirigami is the elegant Japanese art of folding and cutting paper to create intricate models. It’s also the perfect medium for recreating  the harmonious architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright.” Sunday Express

Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959) is the most renowned and popular architect and designer in America. His buildings, including Fallingwater and New York’s Guggenheim Museum, are iconic landmarks. Now you can create 14 of his best-loved buildings using the art of kirigami.

Frank Lloyd Wright building kirigami templates included are:

- Unity Temple
- Frederick C. Robie House
- Imperial Hotel
- Aline Barnsdall “Hollyhock” House
- Millard House (La Miniatura)

- Freeman House
- Charles Ennis House
- National Life Insurance Building

Perfect for those that enjoy origami, each project features a short history of each house, step-by-step instructions and a template that you remove from the book. You follow the lines on the template, cutting and folding to make your own model. All you need is a scalpel, a cutting mat and a ruler. Clear cutting tips help you with the tricky stages, while photos of the finished model show you the final design. To make things easier, the most intricate parts of the templates have been pre-cut. Simply display your finished model and admire your handiwork. Frank Lloyd Wright Paper Models is a must for Wright fans and architectural model enthusiasts.

About the Author:

Marc Hagan-Guirey is a kirigami paper artist and design director. His kirigami commissions for both private and commercial clients include pieces for the National Theatre, London Transport Museum and Samsung Galaxy. He is the author of Paper Dandy’s Horrorgami and Frank Lloyd Wright Paper Models (both Laurence King).

An unsung prophet of today’s green movement in architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright was an innovator of eco-sensitive design generations ahead of his time.

An architect and designer of far-reaching vision, it is not surprising that Frank Lloyd Wright anticipated many of the hallmarks of today’s green movement. Across his work - which stands upon a philosophy Wright termed "organic" - widespread evidence is seen of a refined sensitivity to environment, to social organization as impacted by buildings, and to sustainable and sensible use of space. The desire to work and live with nature to create livable homes and cities is an ongoing theme of American architecture and planning.

This book explores Wright’s lessons on how climate, sustainability, sunlight, modern technology, local materials, and passive environmental controls can become the inspiration for excellent design, and highlights a selection of Wright’s buildings to show how he dealt with these issues.

The book is organized by the green concepts Wright used - including passive solar design and the use of thermal massing, passive berm insulation, environmentally sensitive landscaping, passive ventilation systems, passive natural light, and intelligent and artful adaptation of technology - with examples from different houses. It shows how Wright evolved certain ideas that continue to spur discussions of green architecture design today.

A Legacy in Stone. Castles and fortresses of medieval Europe

Follow photographer Frédéric Chaubin as he embarks on a unique, century-spanning journey through Europe. Featuring images of more than 200 buildings in 21 countries, Stone Age presents the history and architecture of the most dramatic medieval castles of the continent in an unprecedented collection.

Building on the success of his foray into Soviet design with CCCP, Chaubin once again documents the afterlife of highly rational structures that seem out of place in a modern-day world. Precursors of Brutalism, these castles value function over form and epitomize the raw materials and shapes that would go on to define so much of architectural history.

Shot on film with a Linhof view camera, the collection is the outcome of five years of travel and investigation. Complete with a practical map and explanatory essay, its castles tell the story of 400 years, unfolding through the feudal Middle Ages into the 15th century.

A photographic study of decay as much as endurance, Stone Age traces the history of some of these singular structures that continue to enchant their audiences today and that occupy a distinct, mystical place in our collective imagination.

The photographer and author:

Frédéric Chaubin has been, for twenty years, editor-in-chief of the French lifestyle magazine Citizen K. Since 2000 he has regularly featured works combining text and photography. His CCCP collection research was carried out from 2003 to 2010 and published in 2011. During the last five years, he has been dedicating himself to the Stone Age project.

From floor to ceiling, and spanning grand facades, supremely rich ornament and detail envelops the enduring landmarks of France. Take a visual tour through royal salons, war rooms, and ballrooms in this illustrated survey, with decorative elements from doors, walls, fireplaces, cabinets, consoles, and friezes.

Selected from an extremely rare 19th-century catalog, this visual celebration of handcrafted French ironwork designs is filled with finely rendered black-and-white images of balustrades, grand balconies, brackets, and much more. An invaluable source of motifs, inspiration, and accurate details for architectural historians, craftspeople, designers, and metalsmiths.

Design competitions are an indispensable element of quality assurance in architecture, urban design, landscape architecture, engineering, and arts. This book provides a wealth of practical and formal information on all issues related to the organization of design competitions. It also presents 60 illustrated practical examples of successfully conducted competitions for 12 building typologies.

A compact sourcebook of ideas for innovative furnishing, interior environments and small-scale architectural interventions.

As the definition of 'designer' expands and architects today create everything from jewelry to urban masterplans, a new wave of objects is transforming our interior spaces.

Furnitecture presents some 200 examples of this new design typology. From Danish studio KiBiSi's design for a reconfigurable bookshelf system and Japanese architect Shigeru Ban's moving boxes within rooms, to Dutch designers Makkink & Bey's conversational Ear Chairs and the French atelier 37.2's series of self-standing cubes, there is an interior world of innovation in these pages. And a personal space just for you.
