Архиwood – премия, учрежденная компанией HONKA и pr-агентством «Правила общения» в 2009 году ставит своей целью пропаганду деревянной архитектуры, пропаганду дерева как идеального материала для cтроительства, настолько же выразительного, насколько экологичного, настолько же модного, насколько экономичного, настолько же традиционного, насколько актуального. В каталоге Премии, выпущенном TATLIN, собраны наиболее выдающиеся деревянные постройки за последний год: частные дома всех возможных стилей и направлений – от традиционных скатных избушек до модернистских объектов и даже парафразов классической дачной архитектуры начала 20 века, малые объекты, объекты городской среды, арт-объекты. Набор номинаций претерпел некоторые изменения: из-за небольшого количества заявок отпали «Интерьеры» и «Дерево в отделке». Также в каталог вошли 26 проектов экспозиции Архиwood, на проект которой был проведен закрытый конкурс

The homes vary from small to large, and cover layouts from "erected as found" to modern configurations. One thing they all have in common, though, is that they look the way log homes are supposed to look. Dove-tailed corners, weathered barn wood, antique heart pine, and ancient beams, logs, and posts were used abundantly in their construction.

"Beach Houses Down Under" is a new title in this internationally best-selling series that pays tribute to an outstanding collection of beachfront homes. Both modern and traditional, designed with the beachside lifestyle in mind, these homes are in locations that are often as spectacular as they are remote, as well as some which are located on more modest and easily accessible sites.

The tenth title by popular international architectural writer Stephen Crafti (author of Beach Houses 1 and Beach Houses 2, Making the Most of Small Spaces, H2O, and Designing for Success).

The author introduces each project, examining both the client's instructions and presenting the architects' resultant beautiful house designs.

Take the plunge into a dreamlike world that underscores the uniqueness of the beach location, embracing a seaside-lifestyle.

Yet controversy and conflict seethed around the Palace from its very start, thanks to two strong-minded women: Sarah, the wilful first Duchess of Marlborough, who wanted a home fit for a hero, and Queen Anne, who envisaged a glorious monument to England herself and a palace to rival Versailles.

As a palace and monument, Blenheim is spectacularly successful. It is one of the finest examples of English Baroque architecture, decorated and furnished to an equally lavish standard, housing works of art from all over Europe. Blenheim, which attracts around half a million visitors from all over the world each year, is one of Britain's most magnificent houses as George III enviously remarked 'we have nothing to equal this.' But the real story of Blenheim lies with the Spencer-Churchill family, who have lived in it for the past 300 years, and theirs is a story as turbulent, fascinating and momentous as the conflicts that surrounded its origins.

The first book about Blenheim ever written by one of the Spencer-Churchill family, Blenheim and the Churchill Family is filled with anecdotes, gossip, and intrigue, tracing the story of a glamorous dynasty from 1700 to modern times. This is the inside story, pieced together from the family archives, showing how the personalities of each Duke and Duchess influenced the progress of the great house through the centuries.

During the 1950s and ‘60s, with its gleaming new space-age capital Brasilia, Brazil was in the vanguard of architecture and design and its interiors still possess a generous dash of glossy modernity and mid-century chic. This sleek contemporary glamour is combined with the rustic, natural materials that are in such generous supply on the South American continent – rough-hewn stone, exotic dark woods and an abundance of jungly greenery.

From city perches in the urban jungle to country homes amid soaring mountains and beach houses sitting serenely above long, unspoilt beaches, Bold and Bright provides a fascinating glimpse into a selection of real-life Brazilian homes.
