Lack of space and growing demand have made the twentieth century the age of the vertical dwelling. This book's fine selection of designs exemplifies the various solutions which a number of architects, ranging from well-known architects to those who are just starting their careers, have chosen when designing apartments and blocks of flats. In this volume, a great profusion of notes, plans, construction details, materials and photographs illustrate the silent revolution of the vertical dwelling.

Young architects in the UK are making a name for themselves, not just because of the buildings they design, but also because of the ethos they share – one that embraces concern for the environment and makes a virtue of limited budgets. In New Arcadians, Lucy Bullivant profiles 18 cutting-edge UK-based practices, presenting recent key projects as well as interviews with the architects. The architects’ ecological awareness is evident in a wide range of schemes, from Nord’s Shingle House in Dungeness, Kent, which makes use of sustainable and recyclable materials, to GroundLab’s Flowing Gardens for the 2011 World Horticultural Expo at Xi’an, China, an inspiring example of urban regeneration. Other projects employ ecologically intelligent building materials or demonstrate a commitment to protecting and increasing biodiversity. Complete with an introduction exploring key trends in contemporary British architecture and full biographies of all the featured practices, New Arcadians is an exciting overview of the work and attitudes of a rising generation of UK architects who are reinvigorating the profession.

• Profiles the most dynamic and innovative new architectural practices in Britain today
• Showcases a wide variety of recent projects, big and small, public and private, both in the UK and abroad
• Over 250 illustrations, including plans, sketches and images by leading architectural photographers

This informative and beautifully illustrated book showcases projects of all types, sizes and budgets from the last decade in Japan, and includes museums, private houses, schools, shops, hospitals, airports and chapels. Both cutting-edge, emerging young practices – such as Sou Fijimoto and Junya Ishigami – and established, internationally known architects – among them Toyo Ito, Tadao Ando, Kengo Kuma and SANAA – are featured, as are international practices working in Japan (such as Rogers Stirk Harbour, Foster + Partners and Herzog & de Meuron). Stunning images by leading architectural photographer Edmund Sumner are accompanied by accessible critical texts and drawings. This illuminating survey is essential not just for architects and designers but also for anyone fascinated by Japan's unique – and increasing – influence on architecture worldwide.

Profiles more than 100 architectural projects from the last decade
A compelling reference for architects, urban planners, designers and anyone interested in contemporary Japanese architecture

The Asian boom of the last decade created an unprecedented arena for architectural adventure and experimentation, an environment in which Andrew Bromberg immersed himself and thrived. Aedas was at the epicenter of this ferment, in part due to its significant presence in Hong Kong preceding the boom, and then in large part due to the furious energy and passion that Bromberg brought to the firm when he joined in 2002.

New Architecture in the Emerging World chronicles the diverse range of projects designed by Andrew Bromberg for Aedas between 2002 and 2010. It highlights the exceptional design versatility and ingenuity Bromberg displayed in order to address Asia’s extremely varied clients, sites, architectural programmes, schedules and cultural parameters.

In tracing the intertwined fortunes of Bromberg, Aedas and the Asian continent at a time when the world’s economic centre of gravity appeared, at least for a while, to have permanently tilted to the east, New Architecture in the Emerging World provides an unparalleled survey of the phantasmagorical experience it turned out to be.

This book has carefully selected more than forty Asian residential developments which have been distributed into three cultural districts, namely East Asia, Southeast Asia and West Asia. In this way, it conveys that in different Asian areas, architects have different understandings and practices on neo-Asianism architecture. The three areas mentioned above have the most representative architectural styles in Asia, thus the projects, which are selected, are mainly sourced from well-known architects’ products. Thousands of high definition pictures and detailed design explanation explore the breakthrough and changes of Asian architecture in terms of design style and development mode in this new era. More architects are expected to join this field to improve Asian architectural style through their own practice and efforts.

As the sequel to the highly successful Bar and Club Design, this volume examines current international trends, showcasing 47 bars and clubs. The resurgence of cocktail culture and the explosion of the 'style bar' - places that are professionally designed and serve high-quality spirits, wines and cocktails - continues in cities such as New York, London and Tokyo, but is happening in Beirut and Kuala Lumpur too. There is also a trend in lower budget designer bars that are as visually interesting as the big budget productions - such as Andy Wahloo in Paris and Opal in London. Likewise, club culture continues to thrive. Nightclubs have grown cosier and cater to the 'grown-up clubber', offering comfort and luxury rather than an empty shell in which to dance. 'Superclubs' such as Avalon in New York and CocoonClub in Frankfurt now have the very best in technology and audiovisual entertainment.

New Bar and Club Design showcases 47 of the most glamorous venues around the world. The featured nightspots are grouped according to type: bars, restaurant bars, hotel bars and clubs. The book features a wide variety of bars to suit every taste, from space-age retro at Universum in Berlin to vintage Moroccan at Andy Wahloo in Paris, while clubs range from the hight-tech superclub Cacoon in Frankfurt to the bijou padded boîte Cielo in New York. New Bar and Club Design will inspire interior designers and scenesters alike – in fact anyone fascinated by the endlessly inventive world of interiors devoted to hedonism.

A follow-up to the highly successful New Bars & Restaurants, New Bars & Restaurants 2 takes us on a trip around the world, exploring the newest dining spaces in countries that range from France to Australia. What ties all of these projects together, however, is their original solutions to the venerable problem of dining design. An imaginative lighting system and the symbolic use of color, for example, are just two of the many design solutions that uncover universes of fantasy in a space where the focus is usually placed on the kitchen. With its detailed design comments and more than 500 full-color photographs, New Bars & Restaurants 2 will serve as an indispensable resource for the storeowner and architect alike.

The bedroom is the domestic area designated for absolute repose. Today, one of the most common trends in bedroom design is the absence of unnecessary elements that inhibit our ability to rest and the presence of simple forms and diaphanous spaces. One of the challenges consists of integrating the bedroom into new kind of living spaces generated by evolving social patterns, such as lofts, small studios, and etcetera. The implementation of light – both natural and artificial – is also of major importance in creating pleasant and intimate spaces. For this reason, some of the most interesting bedrooms displayed in this book have focused their architectural interventions around this objective.

Brazilian Roberto Burle Marx was indisputably one of the greatest garden and landscape architects of the twentieth century. His distinctive style, incorporating bold, abstract patterns and native flora, still influences garden and landscape projects around the world. In Brazil, he left a legacy of contemporary designers whose work is scarcely known outside the country – until now.

Presented with spectacular photographs of over thirty new gardens and landscapes across the country, from the coast to the hills, from the cities to the jungle, New Brazilian Gardens offers an exciting overview of a wealth of creative designers working in idioms and styles that are varied and individual, while acknowledging the genius of Burle Marx.

Dazzling swimming pools, serene urban escapes, stark minimalist hardscaping or exuberant planting – the projects illustrate the great diversity of Brazil’s gardens today, but also incorporate ideas that can be translated to any country.

Roberto Silva first considers the evolution of the Brazilian garden since Colonial times, then gardens are grouped into sections, Water, Planting, Abstraction and Sculpture, with each project presented in detail, including descriptions with the designer’s own plans, drawings and plant lists.

New Brazilian Gardens is for professional gardeners, amateurs and garden lovers everywhere.
