Andrea Palladio influenced the history and evolution of Western architecture like no other.

This book is the first of three in a series set to be the largest and most complete publication ever on the work of the great architect. Relying on comparison with drawings in Palladio's Four Books of Architecture (Venice, 1570), the author highlights the links between the realized buildings and the theoretical designs, and between the concepts derived from classical architecture and the work of Vitruvius and their subsequent development.

This volume is an indispensable tool for anyone interested in Palladio's villas.

Following the success of IMAGES' first 100 of the World's Best Houses book, we searched the globe for another collection of amazing houses. The result of this search is Another 100 of the World's Best Houses. Each house in this new volume has been selected for its unique and extraordinary qualities. The overwhelming theme is the way in which architects use their remarkable skills to relate these masterpieces to their various contexts and landscapes. Locations are as diverse as the houses themselves and include the coast of Peru, inner-city London, rugged Australian coastal sites, urban SГЈo Paulo, spectacular New Zealand alpine retreats and coastal hideaways, American prairies, frosty Oslo, the gorgeous West Indies, tropical Southeast Asia, suburban Lithuania, and Costa Rica, to name but a few.

The architecture firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson believes that “the sensuality of place, the emotive qualities of materials, and the ability to give pleasure and insight, to comfort and to transport can produce humane and spirited architecture.” Whether designing corporate headquarters for Pixar Animation Studios, the Software Engineering Institute for Carnegie Mellon University, the new Apple Stores in New York, Chicago, and Tokyo, or the twelve wooded retreats shown in this book, the firm’s architecture is alive to the subtleties of place, man-made or natural, and to the rich possibilities of materials and the means of construction.

The houses in Arcadian Architecture are exquisitely crafted of wood and stone and other natural materials, and are all sited within beautiful wooded, mountainous, or lakeside locales, from New York State to Washington State, and from the woods of Connecticut to the mountains of Montana. One of the highlights of this book is that it publishes, for the first time, the extraordinary, huge, extremely private and secluded, residential complex in Washington State that was built for Bill and Melinda Gates. Each house is presented on at least thirty pages, and is depicted by sumptuous new color photography, richly detailed conceptual sketches, presentation drawings, and construction documents.

In two volumes (Vol. II will appear in September 2010) a few of the most beautiful, recently finished private homes are presented, from across the five continents and selected with a single common factor: the close relationship between architecture and nature.

These are architectural tours de force, situated in the most remove and breathtaking places in the world: in the middle of the desert in Phoenix (Arizona), in the mountains of Sun Valley (Idaho), on Yzerfontein beach (West coast of South Africa), on a magnificent golf course near Port Elizabeth.

Architecton Architectural Bureau, formed by Zusik Alexander Ivanovich and Ekaterina Seregina, has been the recipient of many major international awards.

With a close experience of the construction industry gained from Arksim a former Soviet-Chinese architecture and construction enterprise, the core operations of the practice have been wide and varied: hotels and vacation resorts complexes, commercial and public buildings, restaurants and private houses.

Bernard De Clerck (1959) is one of the main Belgian architects of his generation. His designs testify to great respect for our rich architectural heritage: both in his new construction projects and his numerous renovations this ambassador for “Flemish Living” argues for a return to the traditional values in a contemporary context in which the comfort of living is central. Traditional craftsmanship, a historical approach, an exciting mix of old and new, a passion for weathered materials and details ... are characteristic for each architectural “story” by Bernard De Clerck.

Materials inspire and arouse emotions, they surround us everywhere, we possess them and feel them. As with people, our first impression of them is provided by the visual perception they create. The Architecture Compact series presents materials that on the one hand convey a unique impression through their inherent physical characteristics, and on the other hand achieve surprising results when used in combination with each other.

Materials inspire and arouse emotions, they surround us everywhere, we possess them and feel them. Similarly to people, our formative first impression of them is provided by the visual perception they create. Containing around 250 full colour illustrations, the Architecture Compact series presents materials that on the one hand convey a unique impression through their inherent physical characteristics, and on the other hand achieve surprising results when used in association or combination with each other.

In der Reihe Architecture Compact werden Materialien vorgestellt, die einserseits durch ihre Beschaffenheit eine ganz eigene Anmutung mit sich bringen, anderseits in der Verarbeitung und Kombination mit- bzw. untereinander überraschende Ergebnisse erzielen.

Les matériaux nous passionnent, nous les rencontrons partout, à chaque pas, nous les touchons, nous les sentons, ils font partie intégrale de notre vie. La série Architecture compact présente des matériaux qui ont leur charme à l'état brut mais qui produisent aussi des créations surprenantes quand ils sont traités et associés à d'autres éléments.

Wood has unique qualities, yet is undervalued or ignored in histories of architecture. However, leading designers around the world are increasingly drawn to it to satisfy social and environmental needs.

Will Pryce is an award-winning photographer who trained as an architect and photojournalist. His pictures have made him the most admired architectural photographer in Britain. Intensely dramatic but not over-dramatized, technically flawless, but not merely documentary, they convey all the excitement of encountering these amazing structures first-hand. He has travelled the world seeking the famous and the obscure.

In the substantial text he shows how the wooden heritage of Japan grew from its Buddhist history; how Russia’s carpenters determined its iconic domes; how Norway’s stave churches contain clues to her pagan past; how Turkic tribes brought the yali from Asia; how the settlers of New England would use a provincial English tradition on the new continent; and how, today, sophisticated architects such as Peter Zumthor and Renzo Piano are inventing an eloquent new wooden architecture.

Fifty of the world’s most important buildings seen through specially commissioned isometric illustrations and detailed photographs and plans, providing the perfect introduction to architecture for students and anyone interested in buildings.

Taking readers behind architecture’s facades and finishes, this charmingly illustrated book explores how some of the most important buildings in the world were constructed. Specially commissioned isometric drawings present the essential structural elements of the world’s masterpiece buildings that are not visible to the naked eye. These illustrations are displayed alongside plans, details, and photographs, all of which are clear and accessible, yet accurate and elegant enough to satisfy the most discerning eye.

This fascinating book explores the thinking and expertise behind architects’ designs and offers a means by which to better understand buildings already visited as well as those on the must-see list. Selections range from domestic structures such as Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater and skyscrapers such as the Chrysler Building, to iconic classics such as the Louvre and Barcelona’s famed Sagrada Familia Cathedral. The buildings have been chosen for their importance and interest, their role in the development of architectural thinking, and the structural secrets that intricate 3-D drawings can reveal.
