The pool is an aspirational motif that recurs across the history of residential architecture, no matter which era or location. From the impressive palace baths of Europe and the magnificent pools of luxurious mansions and country estates, to the stylish and contemporary designer terraces and the humble, tucked away inner-city courtyards of the average home in all structures the themes of style, engineering, and design are standard.

In Pools: Design and Form with Water, renowned photographer Miquel Tres spectacular full-colour images and detailed narratives showcase a wide selection of pool designs from around the world. This book features a multitude of examples in a wide range of styles: natural chemical-free pools with purifying systems; rustic pools which use local materials and natural depuration methods in sometimes rural settings; contemporary dazzlers and designer pools for interior and exterior spaces, including illuminated designs and other modern features.

Pools will help the aspiring landscape or interior designer to determine the latest trends and to consider strong garden contexts and landscape planning, outdoor pool-site plans, materials and furniture.

Nancy Power is to landscape what Frank Gehry is to architecture, or Bunny Williams to interiors - a master, a visionary, a seasoned professional at the very pinnacle of her craft. The designs Power creates - whether for parklands, playgrounds, or private sanctuaries - reflect the meticulous attention she pays to each place’s particularity and to the desires and living patterns of those who will use and enjoy her gardens.
From residential gardens in Beverly Hills and Malibu to street planning for downtown Los Angeles and play zones for the Pasadena Children’s Museum, the selection of Power’s work in this beautiful book reveals her multidimensional aesthetic. Her approach can range from the lavishly leafy to the meditatively restrained, from the comfortably homey to the superlatively (though always quirkily) formal. But no matter what the look, no matter who the client, each of her projects reminds us of the power that gardens have to refresh the body, center the mind, and liberate the spirit.

Over the centuries the outstanding beauty and distinction of Provence has attracted illustrious residents including many famous writers and artists. Today several contemporary artists have homes in Provence and many of them have applied their artistic sensibilities to the storied landscape to create exquisite gardens.

Their gardens take many forms: Jean Claude Farhi and Bernar Venet have created sculpture parks filled with massive abstract works; sculptural silhouettes by Sacha Sosno converse with their surroundings finding their ideal setting in the verdant landscape; assemblages created by Arman seem to grow along with the palms and evergreens encircling his house; Dominique Lafourcade has designed a classic garden with rigid lines and geometric hedges. Specially commissioned photographs by Mario Ciampi capture the captivating atmosphere of each garden. Most of the gardens shown have not been published before. Text by art historian Julia Droste-Hennings traces the course of each artist’s career and explores the personal relationship each artist has with their outdoor creations. The gardens presented in this book will undoubtedly inspire amateur and professional gardeners alike.

Landscape architecture today is one of the most exciting and revolutionary areas of design. With environmental awareness at an all-time high, landscape designers are reshaping our appreciation of both natural and man-made surroundings, from small-scale private gardens to large-scale public spaces. Presenting entirely new ways of seeing, interpreting and designing a ‘landscape’, Radical Landscapes is organized into significant issues and techniques:
• light and colour
• movement
• order and objects
• interaction
• new contexts
• urban interventions
• narrative
Each chapter is illustrated with works by such internationally known designers and architects as Janis Hall, Fernando Caruncho, Adriaan Geuze, Reiser + Umemoto, Peter Walker and Makoto Sei Watanabe. A comprehensive and challenging evaluation of the present and a compendium of ideas for the future, Radical Landscapes suggests a rich and unexpected variety of ways in which we might interact dynamically and in harmony with the great outdoors.

After decades of being banished from residential areas, water is now becoming an increasingly significant feature in urban design. Whether it is the integration of natural water courses into the built environment, rainwater management, the incorporation of water elements in urban areas for climatic purposes or the creation of oases of tranquility or drama such as pools or fountains all these aspects are not only encountering renewed interest among architects and urban planners, but they are also greeted with appreciation by the general public. This book reveals the wide variety of possibilities for using water as a creative element in the city, in art, in the landscape and architecture. The works are organized in seven categories and encompass large-scale masterplans, urban plazas and parks, river restaurations but also interior design schemes and art objects. Amongst the works documented are the landscape design for Dubai Business Park, a river restauration in Bishan Park in Singapore, landscaping for a new town in Tianjin, China, the schemes for Telecom Park, Taipei and Vuores Central Park in Tampere, Finland, and the design for Civic Square Seattle.
