The Burton Barr Central Library (Phoenix Central Library) has quickly become a point in the community’s pride while serving as an exciting background to the region’s library and information needs. It is a regular tour stop for visitors as well as architects and scholars from around the world. This architectural masterpiece works with the beautiful desert setting, and is designed to display the natural beauty of the West. The top of the library has a great public reading room, reminiscent of older libraries, with the entire non-fiction collection. The design is a mix of futuristic aspects combined with a respect for historical detail.

Sister Parish was the grande dame of American twentieth-century decorators and is credited with developing the style of interior decoration known as 'American Country Style'. Parish-Hadley, the decorating firm she founded and ran with her business partner, Albert Hadley, was extremely successful and it produced a huge body of work, but Sister's most famous client was Jacqueline Kennedy, for whom she worked at the White House and at Glen Ora, a presidential retreat in Virginia.

Victoria Newhouse, noted author and architectural historian, addresses the aesthetics and acoustics in concert halls and opera houses of the past, present, and future in this stunning companion to the highly regarded Towards a New Museum. Site and Sound explores the daunting, perennial question: Does the music serve the space, or the other way around?

Heavily illustrated throughout - with historic images, spectular color photographs, detailed drawings - this volume is an informed and enjoyable presentation of a building type that is at the heart of cities small and large.

Newhouse starts with a survey of venues from ancient Greek and Roman times and progresses to contemporary works around the world. She singles out Lincoln Center in particular for its long history and its transitions and remodelings over the years. Two major chapters cover the present: one focuses on recent work in the West, including the National Opera House of Norway in Oslo by Snøhetta (2008), the Casa da Música in Porto, Portugal, by Rem Koolhaas (2005), and many more; the second examines the boom in concert halls in China. A final chapter looks at projects that are currently planned and the future of an architecture for music.

James Wines is a larger-than-life character whose work cuts a swathe through modern architecture. Since 1970, when he founded SITE, the highly regarded architecture and environmental arts organisation based in New York, he and his practice have led the way in progressing a more socially and environmentally responsive architecture. Early work from the office includes iconic structures such as the Notch Project (1977), Sacramento, California. Nowadays, SITE offers a wide range of design services such as buildings, landscapes, public spaces, interiors, graphics and industrial products. This new addition to IMAGES' Master Architect Series offers a valuable insight into SITE's creative approach and teamwork, as it documents some of the studio's most outstanding projects.

The firm's projects cover the globe, from Manhattan to Moscow, Chicago to Shanghai, London and Berlin to Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta and Ho Chi Min City. From high-tech structures to finely detailed interiors, from superscale office towers to urban place-making, SOM's work traverses an extremely wide range of architectural practice, demonstrating the firm's commitment to the broadest possible provision of design services.

There are many books about tall buildings, but few focus exclusively on residential high-rises. Perhaps this is because they are traditionally not as high as commercial high-rises. However, this is no longer the case; not only do many now compare with other high-rise buildings when it comes to height, but a building designed for living is particularly interesting in that it conveys a sense of the purpose and function of the building. Sky High Living explores a selection of the most arresting residential tall buildings from around the world, predominantly from North America and Asia. Compiled by Georges Binder, building and data expert on high-rise design.

Explores the variety of high-rise buildings and the technologies behind them that make them not only effective as the buildings themselves, but also harness the natural environmental factors that make them more ecology and energy efficient.

No other building type captures the imagination like the skyscraper, yet following the World Trade Centre tragedy, its future has been called into question. In Skyscraper, Eric Höweler presents convincing evidence that the future of tall buildings is as secure today as it was over one hundred years ago.

Described and accompanied by striking full-colour photography are over fifty new constructions that punctuate the skylines of the major cities around the world. Incisive essays delve into cutting-edge skyscraper design and building, as well as offering a brief history of the skyscraper, the evolution of the ‘green’ or sustainable skyscraper, their symbolism and design, and the meteoric rise of the skyscraper in Asia. A special section is devoted to the designs for Ground Zero, including never-before-published drawings and plans.

Far from being a dying form, the skyscraper continues to exert a huge influence on the international landscape, and a continued reinvention of the form awaits us in the next decade.
