The vast majority of architects cut their teeth designing small-scale additions to private homes. Extensions can be added to roofs, gardens and underneath buildings or can even be strapped on to the sides.

Following a brief introduction, the book is divided into chapters featuring 40 projects that extend spaces up, down, to the rear, to the side, on the roof, internally and outdoors. Each case study explains how the architects faced design challenges while at the same time meeting their clients needs. Details covered include choice of materials, planning issues, time and cost.

The book also raises issues that clients ought to consider when commissioning an architect to design an extension, from developing a brief to the finished product. At the end of the book there is practical advice for anyone thinking about extending their own property.

Imagine spending the night in a hotel that looks like a giant dog. Or would you rather enjoy the view from an enchanting jungle tree house? Extreme Hotels takes you on an amazing journey along the world's most bizarre hotels and bed and breakfasts, from a survival capsule via a hobbit house lodging and a wine barrel hotel to an underwater resort.

Imagine a world in which every location offers its very own unique adventure: an unusual location, a breathtaking decor, an experimental concept. This stunning 500-page full-colour illustrated book is packed with photographic spreads which celebrate the world's most amazing hotels, bizarre bars, eccentric restaurants and extreme venues. Sleep underwater, grab a drink in a tree, dine up in the air or party in an igloo. Stay overnight in a sewer pipe, a church or a hobbit house - it isn't just Alice that goes down rabbit holes these days!

How about an incentive in an igloo, a wedding in a submarine or a cocktail party in a triumphal arch? From traditional to contemporary, intimate to large-scale - Extreme Venues sought and found the most unique, eccentric and unusual venues on earth. A birthday party in the world's biggest toy store, a gathering in a secret nuclear bunker or a meeting on one of the planet's most rugged islands; it's all possible. So is a reception on the Chinese Wall, a party in an abandoned railroad tunnel or a product presentation under the wings of the Space Shuttle. The event industry has never been quite so entertaining!

This artist book is the most comprehensive survey of Novembre as interior architecture and product design. In little over a decade Fabio Novembre has made a name for himself with eye-candy interiors, spectacular installations, and lush yet functional product designs. Novembre is a solo voice in todays chorus of minimalism, creating interiors, furniture, designs, and installations by mixing old and new materials, setting the time zone between Byzantium and Blade Runner. Strong and eloquent, in no way humble or soft-spoken, his architecture is radically explicit and manifest. He interweaves the pleasures of living with high design seemingly with perfect ease to create environments as he himself experiences them: intensely, and on a vibrantly personal level. This book is a comprehensive survey of Novembres designs to date, including the Blumarine store in London, the S.O.S. chair, and his chaise lounge for Cappellinia poetic creations that stir the often-lazy territories of communication and contemporary design and set new markers to future courses for international design style.

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.

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.
