Interior design for restaurants is ever-changing, as one trend replaces another in attempt to seduce sophisticated diners the world over. This book is a celebration of the most inspirational and beautiful restaurant spaces on the contemporary scene.

An introduction includes interviews with 11 of the worlds most influential interior designers, who talk about their design philosophy and approach, their own favorite eateries and what makes a great restaurant space. This is followed by four themed chapters: Global Views, Modern Classic, New Baroque and High Concept. The 45 featured projects include work by Patrick Jouin, Christian Liaigre, Karim Rashid and Jean Nouvel. Fans of Bethan Ryders earlier books will not be disappointed by this colorful and exciting new survey of the latest trends from the cream of the international design world.

This book includes a fascinating selection of roofs, from the most classical to the most avant- garde, all of which lend style as well as functionality to the buildings they crown.

The featured projects provide a thorough, up-to-date study of trends in roof design, according to their type, materials used and the respective characteristics they provide.

Works by leading architects are included, as well as some by up-and-coming new talent, all of them fully illustrated with plans and building details which help to give a better understanding of the enormous range of possibilities that exist in roof design in contemporary architecture.

School buildings, whether new build, refurbishment, renovation or expansion raise issues with the natural environment, urbanisation and urban life, which in turn mean new priorities and responsibilities for professionals designing schools. Modern schools are no longer isolated from their neighbours in a city, but must be an organic part of urban life. Modern school designs showcase new priorities, quality-control is always first, sustainability is in and schools are the new centre of community residents' life. We selected 42 school designs by world architects and interior designers, including primary and secondary schools and professional training schools.
