Green homes are often thought of as offering little by way of an attractive appearance; this book shows how this is not necessarily the case. It explains the application of measures to save energy, water and resources in a family home for a more environmentally-aware public without compromising on style. Illustrated throughout with full colour photographs and floor plans of dream homes which conform to 21st ecological requirements.

Sustainability is at the core of LPA’s work and company culture. Sustainable design practised at LPA is an integrated ‘holistic’ process that is treated no different than any other program element.

This book documents a process of planning, design, construction and operations of K–12 schools where appropriate sustainable solutions can be a part of every school regardless of budget or program. Through an extensive step-by-step planning and design process and a series of built case studies, all stakeholders in the school planning process will see how an integrated holistic process can achieve sustainable goals that are in balance with budget and other constraints.

Case studies cover renovations and new construction that are at the forefront of a considerable change in the culture of school planning – a change from added cost to added value. Sharing the success of these schools will ensure that there are thousands of sustainable schools in our future for the next generation of students.

A glimpse into the "quintessentially Greenwich" homes that are stately and elegant yet designed for the comforts of family life.

Greenwich is one of the most desirable communities in the United States, with houses that epitomize the suburban tradition. With their handsome facades and elegant interiors, these homes provide inspiration to decorators and homeowners nationwide. More than almost any other community, Greenwich signifies a classic look, a way of living, and a state of mind.

Cindy Rinfret’s successful Classic Greenwich Style was the first book to celebrate the style of this classically American town and bring its renowned look to a nationwide audience. Now, the beloved designer returns with an all-new selection of interiors that will appeal to a new generation of homeowners seeking elegant yet comfortable design.

Specially commissioned photographs showcase the designer’s signature "young traditional" style: a warm blend of color, contemporary materials with traditional shapes, antiques with transitional pieces, English-style furnishings with family heirlooms, and spaces for entertaining and family life. In her own words, Rinfret offers an intimate look into these stunning interiors - including Rinfret’s own classically styled house, Laurel Hill - and shows how people who covet the look and style of Greenwich can create it for themselves.

About the Author:

Cindy Rinfret is an award-winning interior designer and the owner of Rinfret Ltd., a leading design firm in Greenwich, and Rinfret Home & Garden, a retail space on the fashionable Greenwich Avenue. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, Traditional Home, and Architectural Digest, as well as on HGTV.

Born and educated in Germany, Walter Gropius (1883-1969) belongs to the select group of architects that massively influenced the international development of modern architecture. As the founding director of the Bauhaus, Gropius made inestimable contributions to his field, to the point that knowing his work is crucial to understanding Modernism. His early buildings, such Fagus Boot-Last Factory and the Bauhaus Building in Dessau, with their use of glass and industrial features, are still indispensable points of reference. After his emigration to the United States, he influenced the education of architects there and became, along with Mies van der Rohe, a leading proponent of the International Style.

Rizzoli's second monograph on this distinguished New York firm follows Gwathmey Siegel: Buildings and Projects 1982-1992. The sequel presents the exquisite residential work for which the firm is so justifiably renowned--from private apartments in Manhattan to homes in Switzerland and California. Also shown are cultural and institutional works, notably, the U.S. Mission to the United Nations and the International Center of Photography, both in New York, and numerous other campus and museum projects across the United States. The volume also covers the firm's recent corporate work, including the David Geffen Foundation Building in Los Angeles.

Water as an integral feature of domestic architecture is the theme of this new book from noted architectural writer and critic Stephen Crafti. The fifty homes featured in this book are diverse, and include apartments and townhouses, small terraces and large homes. While the styles of these homes may vary, they are all enhanced by the magic of water, and demonstrate how water can be integrated with architecture. Water isn't seen as an afterthought but has been thoughtfully considered from the outset to achieve a certain goal. This book doesn't simply suggest using water for the sake of creating a 'splash' or as a means of impressing visitors; its purpose is to show how, with the right imagination and skill, water can strengthen architectural forms, enhancing the experience of living in these homes.

A landmark publication that celebrates humanity’s age-old ability to create buildings that are ingeniously adapted to their cultural and environmental conditions, providing enduring lessons for living today

Climate change is the biggest challenge facing our planet. There has never been a more important time to understand how to make the best use of local natural resources and to produce buildings that do not rely on stripping the environment or transporting materials across the globe.

The culmination of years of specialist research, this once-in-a-generation publication gathers together an international team of over one hundred leading experts across a diverse range of disciplines to examine what the traditions of vernacular architecture and its regional craftspeople around the world can teach us about creating a more sustainable future. Organized by the five major climate zones, covering polar, temperate, tropical, desert and continental, and more than 80 countries worldwide, it reveals how people and cultures have adapted to their environment to make the best use of indigenous materials and construction techniques, and stresses the importance of preserving disappearing craftsmanship and local knowledge before it is too late.

Including contextual essays on issues ranging from climatology, to anthropology and economics; detailed reference section; specially commissioned maps and infographics; and a wealth of illustrations, this landmark publication is a celebration of humankind's resilience and ingenuity in a rapidly changing world, and an invaluable resource document for the future generation who will shape our built environment.

Audacious futurism. The forward-thinking work of a singular architect

Zaha Hadid is a wildly controversial architect, who for many years built almost nothing, despite her designs winning prizes and critical acclaim. Some even said her work was unbuildable. Yet over the past decade she has completed numerous structures including the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati (which the New York Times called ’’the most important new building in America since the Cold War’’), the MAXXI Museum in Rome, the Guangzhou Opera House, her first completed project in China, and the London Aquatics Center for the 2012 Olympics. Today, Hadid is firmly established among the élite of world architecture, her audacious and futuristic designs as well as her sense for style and fashion having catapulted her to international fame.

Building the future now. The iconic work of a singular architect

Zaha Hadid is a wildly controversial architect whose work remained largely unbuilt for years, despite awards and critical acclaim. Yet in the past decade, Hadid has risen to fame and completed numerous structures like the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati, the Glasgow Riverside Museum, and the Eli & Edythe Broad Art Museum in Michigan

With her audacious, futuristic designs, Zaha Hadid now ranks among the global elite in a notoriously male-dominated industry. In the past decade, Hadid has transformed skylines and captured imaginations with such prestigious projects as the MAXXI in Rome, the Guangzhou Opera House in China, and the London Aquatics Centre, designed for the 2012 Olympic Games... With her audacious, futuristic designs, Hadid now ranks among the elite of world architecture.

Born in Baghdad and educated in London, where her practice is based, Hadid has designed radical architecture for over 30 years. This massive TASCHEN monograph, now available in a specially updated and more accessible edition, covers her complete works to date. The New National Stadium of Japan — venue of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, and the Serpentine Sackler Gallery in London are both published for the first time. This volume shows the evolution of Hadid’s career — comprising buildings and furniture and interior designs — with in-depth texts, spectacular photos, and her own drawings.

Haigo Shen & Partners' (HSP) works in architecture and planning have had a major impact on the development of modern architecture in the postwar era of Taiwan. Haigo Shen has also contributed heavily to the future of architecture in Taiwan by the establishment, in 1998, of the Haigo Shen Architectural Education Foundation. A vast number of international architects have worked in partnership with Haigo Shen on large-scale, important works such as the Taipei World Trade Center Exhibition and Convention Centers, Taipei Main Station, Grand Hyatt Hotel, Taipei, the Museum of Prehistory, and the Museum of Marine Biology & Aquarium. These projects, and many more, are presented in this fine monograph that documents the evolution of an important architectural firm.
