Just as its name implies, innovation means unsatisfactory to the current situation and process of developing new methods and techniques. It could be applied to tool and technology, procedure, and work pattern etc.

Innovation in architecture refers much to the changes in the façade of the architecture, the transformation of the interior structure, the development and application of the low-carbon materials, the improvement of the façade techniques and the load-bearing techniques, the regulating of the architectural functions, and the combination of architecture and environment.

This book compiles more than one hundred projects (mainly foreign projects) and categorizes these projects into categories of morphology innovation, structural innovation, material innovation, technology innovation, and function innovation according to the innovation concept in architecture. The innovation of these projects independently uses models of a certain kind of innovation or combines some classical models of several innovation patterns at the same time. We hope that the advancing innovation concepts in foreign architectures could bring more idea collision to the insiders of the architectural industry and help them create more new and better architectures for the world’s development.

Architectural Lighting, the latest addition to the Architecture Briefs series, provides both a critical approach to and a conceptual framework for understanding the application of lighting in the built environment. The key considerations of lighting design are illuminated through accessible texts and instructional diagrams. Six built projects provide readers with concrete examples of the ways in which these principles are applied. Short essays by architect Steven Holl, artist Sylvain Dubuisson, and landscape architect James Corner explore the role of lighting in defining spatial compositions.

Erpicum's twenty-five years of experience allow him to work in varying fields - residences, commercial buildings, as well as museums and galleries. This is the second monograph on the work of this outstanding firm, published by Beta-Plus. 'Architectural Moments' features projects in Ibiza, France, Belgium and Portugal, amongst others.

Architecture is commonly defined as the art of designing and constructing buildings or space for mankind to use, being considered an “art” from the moment a certain aesthetic is sought. The principles of mathematics are used to create functional structures, the right proportions to relate all parts of the building and attain a pleasing appearance. Polygons, triangle, rectangles, circles…

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.

An essential tool for architects, interior designers, set designers and related professionals, this book offers a rich library of visual references for every research need. An illustrated glossary of technical terms offers a vocabulary for professional communication and a comprehensive index of subject matter and materials makes it easy to find just the image you need.

How do courses of brickwork accommodate the shape of an arch? Exactly what happens at the intersection of two stone walls? What is the profile of a molding where a cornice wraps around the corner of a building? Solving these problems with style and elegance is the hallmark of good design; the resulting solutions are the structural and decorative details that are emblematic of historic periods and become the signatures of individual styles and designers.

This addition to the acclaimed Surfaces series catalogues hundreds of different architectural features. Its more than 1,400 high-quality colour photographs capture the texture, colour, grain and shape of architectural details organized by subject: walls, facades, ornament and molding, columns, posts and arches, windows, doorways, ceilings and roofs, floors and pavement.

• The  CD-ROMs include easy-to-use screen-resolution TIFF files of every image and the complete glossary of terms.
