Shanghai is the fastest growing city at the moment and will be one of the most important metropolitan cities in the world. The diversity of Western and Oriental influences can be seen on its streets, in the silhouettes of its buildings and in their interiors, where tradition, design and contemporary tends mingle to create a distinctive language. In a mere 10 years, Shanghai has acquired a skylight comparable with that of New York, which was build over the course of more than 50 years. In this book you will find the image of the contemporary Shanghai, like the world’s future highest building to the new Shanghai International Formula One Circuit. About 35 projects are published, buildings, restaurants, shops and offices.

Designers have long used traditional Chinese elements to add a touch of the Orient to homes and corporate interiors. Now, Shangai Interiors reveals stunning ways to incorporate these elements more fully into room designs. Don't just put a Chinese symbol on a wall; make sure it is meaningful in the context of the room. Use the rich colors of Chinese art; introduce the forms that are part of Chinese calligraphy and interiors. Part modern art, part feng shui, the ideas in this book allow designers everywhere to capture the richness and majesty of the East.

John Liu, professor of art history at the Beijing University. He is a famous specialist in traditional Chinese art, and participates in a lot of publications about the use of the traditional Chinese style in the modern design of furniture and home interiors.

Once a fishing town nestled on the banks of the Yangtze River Delta on the east cost of China, Shanghai is now the country’s largest city and one of the world’s busiest ports. The city has been the cultural and economic center of eastern Asia for over a century and has become synonymous with all that is modern in China. This book adventures through Shanghai, giving readers a cross-section of the city’s loveliest and most exceptional interiors, such as a penthouse loft in a converted hardware factory with a rooftop greenhouse, controversial writer/superstar Mian Mian’s conceptual “art apartment,” the painstakingly restored “dream house” of a French archaeologist in the French Concession, and the sprawling, flamboyant apartment of art world diva Pearl Lam.

Nicholas Haslam is one of the world's finest interior designers, sought by rock stars, royalty and the aristocracy alike. His interiors have chutzpah and a touch of opulence that seduce you the moment you catch a glimpse. Rooms look glamorous and sexy, yet liveable, practical and, above all, flattering to their owner and their surroundings. He makes great use of the completely unexpected and is known for effects such as linen carpets, silver-papered ceilings, slashed leather curtains and Picasso-inspired fabric footstools. Sheer Opulence, with specially commissioned photography by David Montgomery, reveals Haslam's decorating secrets and instinctive approach to both classic and contemporary interiors in a visual diary with Haslam's own watercolour plans accompanying the stunning photographs of rooms around the world.

Master of innovation. Challenging accepted notions of architecture

Famed Japanese architect Shigeru Ban attended SCI-Arc in California and earned his degree at the Cooper Union School of Architecture in New York. With offices in Tokyo and Paris, Ban consistently challenges accepted notions of architecture, designing a house without walls, or an exhibition space made from paper tubes and shipping containers. This survey traces his entire career to date, showing clearly why he is one of the world’s most innovative and significant architects. Unlike many of his peers, Ban can create remarkable residences and still find time to design emergency relief housing for disaster areas from Kobe to New Orleans. Often using paper or cardboard tubes as a structural element, his designs give new meaning to the term "Paper Architect." His major completed works include the Furniture House at Lake Yamanaka, Japan, the Curtain Wall House in Tokyo, the Naked House in Kawagoe, Japan, the Japanese Pavilion at Hannover Expo 2000, the mobile Nomadic Museum, and his most recent masterpiece, the Centre Pompidou-Metz in France.

About the Series:
Every book in TASCHEN's Basic Architecture Series features:

• approximately 120 images, including photographs, sketches, drawings, and floor plans
• introductory essays exploring the architect's life and work, touching on family and background as well as collaborations with other architects
• the most important works presented in chronological order, with descriptions of client and/or architect wishes as well as construction problems and resolutions
• an appendix including a list of complete or selected works, biography, bibliography, and a map indicating the locations of the architect's most famous buildings

Master innovator: Challenging accepted notions of architecture

From emergency relief shelters to a cardboard cathedral and exhibition spaces in shipping containers, Pritzker-prize winning architect Shigeru Ban has made his name with his restlessly inventive response to material and situation, as much as with his humanitarian work at the sites of natural and man-made disasters.

In the spirit of three-dimensional poetry, Ban uses materials as an incorporated part of his design, selected not for their cutting-edge credentials but rather for their expressive ability, their capacity to convey the building’s overall concept. In particular, Ban has made regular use of paper tubing in projects as varied as the Japanese Pavilion at Expo 2000 and emergency shelters for Rwanda’s Byumba Refugee Camp.

This essential introduction, compiled with Ban’s own collaboration, presents every one of his projects to date to survey the full reach and importance of, in the words of the Pritzker Prize jury, a “committed teacher who is not only a role model for a younger generation but also an inspiration.”
