The perfect room can make any trip unforgettable. Whether you're welcoming new friends into your home or hosting family, a little thought and a lot of imagination can make your guests' next visit a delightful experience. The guest room is more than the extra room in the house. It is a space for you to create memories, to extend warmth and comfort for another. Guest Rooms explores the most charming guest accommodations in private homes, from a luxurious Hawaiian guesthouse and a cozy room in a Nantucket cottage to an artistic and intriguing Santa Fe space. These spaces speak of their surroundings: brightly colored linens and light wood floors at the beach, thick down comforters and warm lighting in a Maine cottage. The rooms are full of special touches, sure to make any guest feel at home, including reading lamps and fresh flowers, books, and candles. Featuring homes designed by renowned architects and photography by Shelley Metcalf and Eric Roth, Guest Rooms offers inspiration for every type of home and space. The trend right now is to turn that extra space into a warm retreat for guests, a room that is entirely about luxury and relaxation. The perfect gift for your host and for anyone with an extra space, lifestyle author Anna Kasabian serves up twenty-five rooms that would make any guest wish to extend his stay.

Rizzoli's second monograph on this distinguished New York firm follows Gwathmey Siegel: Buildings and Projects 1982-1992. The sequel presents the exquisite residential work for which the firm is so justifiably renowned--from private apartments in Manhattan to homes in Switzerland and California. Also shown are cultural and institutional works, notably, the U.S. Mission to the United Nations and the International Center of Photography, both in New York, and numerous other campus and museum projects across the United States. The volume also covers the firm's recent corporate work, including the David Geffen Foundation Building in Los Angeles.

Water as an integral feature of domestic architecture is the theme of this new book from noted architectural writer and critic Stephen Crafti. The fifty homes featured in this book are diverse, and include apartments and townhouses, small terraces and large homes. While the styles of these homes may vary, they are all enhanced by the magic of water, and demonstrate how water can be integrated with architecture. Water isn't seen as an afterthought but has been thoughtfully considered from the outset to achieve a certain goal. This book doesn't simply suggest using water for the sake of creating a 'splash' or as a means of impressing visitors; its purpose is to show how, with the right imagination and skill, water can strengthen architectural forms, enhancing the experience of living in these homes.

A landmark publication that celebrates humanity’s age-old ability to create buildings that are ingeniously adapted to their cultural and environmental conditions, providing enduring lessons for living today

Climate change is the biggest challenge facing our planet. There has never been a more important time to understand how to make the best use of local natural resources and to produce buildings that do not rely on stripping the environment or transporting materials across the globe.

The culmination of years of specialist research, this once-in-a-generation publication gathers together an international team of over one hundred leading experts across a diverse range of disciplines to examine what the traditions of vernacular architecture and its regional craftspeople around the world can teach us about creating a more sustainable future. Organized by the five major climate zones, covering polar, temperate, tropical, desert and continental, and more than 80 countries worldwide, it reveals how people and cultures have adapted to their environment to make the best use of indigenous materials and construction techniques, and stresses the importance of preserving disappearing craftsmanship and local knowledge before it is too late.

Including contextual essays on issues ranging from climatology, to anthropology and economics; detailed reference section; specially commissioned maps and infographics; and a wealth of illustrations, this landmark publication is a celebration of humankind's resilience and ingenuity in a rapidly changing world, and an invaluable resource document for the future generation who will shape our built environment.

Audacious futurism. The forward-thinking work of a singular architect

Zaha Hadid is a wildly controversial architect, who for many years built almost nothing, despite her designs winning prizes and critical acclaim. Some even said her work was unbuildable. Yet over the past decade she has completed numerous structures including the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati (which the New York Times called ’’the most important new building in America since the Cold War’’), the MAXXI Museum in Rome, the Guangzhou Opera House, her first completed project in China, and the London Aquatics Center for the 2012 Olympics. Today, Hadid is firmly established among the élite of world architecture, her audacious and futuristic designs as well as her sense for style and fashion having catapulted her to international fame.

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

- 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

Building the future now. The iconic work of a singular architect

Zaha Hadid is a wildly controversial architect whose work remained largely unbuilt for years, despite awards and critical acclaim. Yet in the past decade, Hadid has risen to fame and completed numerous structures like the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati, the Glasgow Riverside Museum, and the Eli & Edythe Broad Art Museum in Michigan

With her audacious, futuristic designs, Zaha Hadid now ranks among the global elite in a notoriously male-dominated industry. In the past decade, Hadid has transformed skylines and captured imaginations with such prestigious projects as the MAXXI in Rome, the Guangzhou Opera House in China, and the London Aquatics Centre, designed for the 2012 Olympic Games... With her audacious, futuristic designs, Hadid now ranks among the elite of world architecture.

Born in Baghdad and educated in London, where her practice is based, Hadid has designed radical architecture for over 30 years. This massive TASCHEN monograph, now available in a specially updated and more accessible edition, covers her complete works to date. The New National Stadium of Japan — venue of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, and the Serpentine Sackler Gallery in London are both published for the first time. This volume shows the evolution of Hadid’s career — comprising buildings and furniture and interior designs — with in-depth texts, spectacular photos, and her own drawings.

Haigo Shen & Partners' (HSP) works in architecture and planning have had a major impact on the development of modern architecture in the postwar era of Taiwan. Haigo Shen has also contributed heavily to the future of architecture in Taiwan by the establishment, in 1998, of the Haigo Shen Architectural Education Foundation. A vast number of international architects have worked in partnership with Haigo Shen on large-scale, important works such as the Taipei World Trade Center Exhibition and Convention Centers, Taipei Main Station, Grand Hyatt Hotel, Taipei, the Museum of Prehistory, and the Museum of Marine Biology & Aquarium. These projects, and many more, are presented in this fine monograph that documents the evolution of an important architectural firm.

Showcasing one hundred years of innovation and environmental sensitivity, Handmade Houses celebrates some of the world’s most idiosyncratic homes from Big Sur to Sardinia. Author Richard Olsen unveils the components used for their construction, including driftwood, boulders, and even old wine vats.

The first study of the handmade-homes phenomenon since its inception in the late 1960s, Handmade Houses revisits the subject’s roots and history, exploring how these homes and their owners paved the way for the architectural-salvage business and the reclaimed, industrial look ever-popular today. As fascinating as the structures are themselves, their owners — professionals and amateurs who personally designed and built each residence — offer their inspirations and stories behind the convention-defying homes. Design lessons are gleaned from each home — some examples of environmentally aware construction with applicable tips for use in more mainstream scenarios. 

Handmade Houses is an important and relevant volume to be appreciated by anyone interested in environmentally friendly design, craft, and the expression of personal style in the home.

Ask almost anyone to describe their ideal home, and the chances are that it’ll be spacious and glamorously decorated, as though it has leapt straight from the pages of a glossy magazine. But enviable decor alone does not result in happiness. The days of simply ‘getting the look’ are over; we are now more interested in achieving a contented home life than in considering purely the aesthetics of our interiors. After all, home is not simply a pretty backdrop to life, but a practical and integral part of it. In this timely new book, interiors expert Rebecca Winward first considers what makes our homes so vital to our happiness, then outlines the basic principles that create a happy home. The main part of the book follows a clear room-by-room arrangement, with sections on such elements as layout, colour, coverings for walls and floors, storage and accessories for each main space in the house. Useful, down-to-earth advice is accompanied by inspirational photographs from stylish homes of all kinds, and every chapter concludes with a list of dos and don’ts for achieving the perfect happy room. Happy Home is not so much about a certain style as about a certain style philosophy. Follow these principles, and your home will be functional, beautiful – and ultimately happier.

A comprehensive survey of the work of a master of mid- to late-twentieth-century modernist design. Over the course of a career spanning more than five decades, Australian architect Harry Seidler embarked upon a long series of dramatically innovative and sculptural houses with a rare sensitivity to site, space, and structure. And while these soaring, inspiring houses have been the source of Seidler's fame within architectural circles, this book gives a complete view of this modern master's body of work for the first time. Seidler is now widely acknowledged as a leading member of the postwar generation of modernists and one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century in the southern hemisphere. With commissions not only in Australia but also in Austria, France, Israel, Italy, Mexico, and Hong Kong since establishing his own practice in Sydney in 1948, his work has influenced the course of modernist design into the twenty-first century.
