A comprehensive and authoritative volume on Fabio Novembre, one of the few independent and unconventional voices in the Italian architecture and design scenes.

This new book, elegant and linear, tells the visionary power of the interior and the objects designed in the last twenty years by Fabio Novembre, where every element contributes to the development of a project. The pages show evocative environments characterized by multiple levels, in which the visitor is always the main actor in a world of suggestions, from cinema to fashion, from art to literature. The book's images capture the material perfection and plasticity of the objects. Many of Novembre's most important projects are collected in this volume, including the ORG table, the 100 squares collection, and the Tardini boutique in New York.

The choice of weave, type and thickness of yarn, and pattern have an enormous impact on the final appearance of clothing. A garment made of denim or tweed may have the same cut, but they will each have a very different look and feel from one another. This book and CD-ROM set draws together reproductions of some 250 textile weaves, reproduced (and, where needed, enhanced) in such a way as to make them suitable for sketching, either by hand or digitally. This selection has been made with fashion and textile designers in mind, but, of course, the images are also very suitable as backgrounds for graphic applications and web design.

llustrations:  800 color illustrations

To customers, Facade is represented as an impressive communication device in architecture and interior design process. Although the interest in facade, a face of a space, has been consistent, this would the very first book that features only facades in Korea.

Facades - they are the first feature of a building to be noticed, they determine its distinctive appearance and are often the subject of controversial debate. This new first edition of the Facade Construction Manual provides a systematic survey of contemporary expertise in the application of new materials and energy- efficient technologies in facade design, and represents an invaluable addition to our series of Construction Manuals. It surveys the facade design requirements made by various types of buildings, as well as the most important materials, from natural stone through to synthetics, and documents a diversity of construction forms for a wide range of building types. Over 100 international case-studies in large-scale, detailed drawings are presented in the comprehensive project section.

The greening of façades gives back a piece of nature to the built environment. Thanks to the vertical garden concept, the centuries old idea of a green wall emerging from the architecture itself has become a trend topic in the 21st century.

But the planting of façades is more than just an extension to the form vocabulary of architecture: especially for ecological reasons, like improved building climate quality and optimized energy balance, it represents sustainable architecture. On the basis of texts, photographs, and plans, FaçadeGreenery documents the entire spectrum of this species, along with some of the most unusual contemporary examples.

Une ville entière – ou presque – tient dans ces pages qui accueillent plus de mille bâtiments parisiens. Qu’il s’agisse de monuments, d’immeubles d’habitation, d’hôtels particuliers… le dessin, mieux que la photographie, permet de restituer les lignes et les proportions de ces édifices qu’on a choisis parmi les plus remarquables. Des arènes de Lutèce au musée du Quai Branly, vingt siècles d’architecture défilent pour composer un panorama urbain exceptionnel.

The facade is the visible surface of the building shell. It separates the interior from the exterior, form from function, users from passers-by. In addition to functional demands, the surrounding urban space and aesthetic appeal, sustainability parameters are gaining in importance in this day and age. For this reason, facade design, construction and technology receive ever-increasing attention in the building industry today.

This volume provides an overview of the extensive range of possibilities, featuring the great creative and technical variety of today's facades. The presentation focuses on revealing photos, technical specifications, and detailed drawings. The projects from around the world vividly exemplify how the relationship between the interior and exterior is defined, designed and implemented in each individual case.

Buildings such as these have revolutionized the architecture of factories and office buildings. Take the glass-encased plastics factory providing splendid views of a lake, for example, or the streamlined waste transfer station which has been cleverly designed for future conversion into a concert hall. It has become the trend for architects to create spaces that are not only comfortable but a pleasure to work in. This collection demonstrates how functionality and aesthetics can come together in perfect harmony and features some of the finest examples of work in this field.

Factories are truly radical structures, purely pragmatic boxes, spaces for machines that execute clearly defined production processes. When functionality means everything – and budget is limited – architecture finds itself taking on a fascinating role.

This volume tellingly shows in what creative and surprising ways architects around the world approach this topic. When architectural stars or declared specialists in the field go to work, the factory becomes an aesthetic object and the calling card of any company.

The buildings featured here are factories that easily transcend their functional shells. On hand of richly illustrated projects, this volume documents this typology as a treatise of great architects and subtle means, which reveals high quality in the planning and realization of architectural concepts.
