Owning your own swimming pool is a dream that is coming for true for more and more people. So, for the first time in this series of lifestyle books, we are devoting a volume to swimming pools and everything related to the subject: pool houses, bathing spaces, saunas and hammams, and also garden designs, materials used for cladding the pool, terraces, furniture and so on.

This book is divided into three chapters.

The first section concentrates on outdoor swimming pools and pool houses. A great deal of attention is paid to the harmonious integration with the garden and surrounding landscape, so this section features garden designers and landscape architects as well as builders of swimming pools.

Part II is devoted to indoor swimming pools. The greatest challenge here is the architecture of the house and the swimming-pool area itself. There is also a strong focus on the finishing of the walls, floors and the materials used to build the pool.

Finally, the third section deals with spaces that have increasingly become a natural extension of the (indoor) swimming pool in our modern lifestyle culture, such as bathing spaces, saunas and hammams and cold-water baths. A large number of inspiring creations are featured, comprehensively illustrating modern trends.

In recent years, Carlos Ferrater’s architecture studio has regularly and continuously developed new avenues for formal expression. This collection of projects comprises a family of independent experiences, joined by a common logic of design approximation: Geometry as a means of approximating landscape and urban forms. The book is divided into three parts: The time of Geometry, Research Process and Ideographical Resources. This framework aims to define the conditions whereby the job of architecture is to move from geometry to space by means of construction.

Tadao Ando is the most revered Japanese architect at work today. Beloved and admired for his powerful, meditative spaces and his sensual and yet refined use of the materials of the modern trade-wood, steel, concrete, glass-Ando's work resonates with profound intelligence, unpretentious elegance, and an almost palpable sense of harmony. Tadao Ando at Naoshima: Art, Architecture, Nature showcases the latest work in an on going process of building by Tadao Ando at the acclaimed Naoshima Island Art Complex. Featured here is Ando's recently completed Chichu Art Museum, an underground facility built on the small island in the Inland Sea of Japan. With respect for the landscape and the traditional use of the land as terraced salt fields, Ando adapted the architecture to the topography, by burying much of the complex volume below the ground. Ando's Naoshima is a stunning demonstration of architectural virtuosity.

The Tadao touch. Ando’s complete works to date 1975-2012

Philippe Starck describes him as a “mystic in a country which is no longer mystic.” Philip Drew calls his buildings “land art” as they “struggle to emerge from the earth.” He is the only architect to have won the discipline’s four most prestigious prizes: the Pritzker, Carlsberg, Praemium Imperiale, and Kyoto Prize. His name is Tadao Ando, and he is one of the greatest living architects. Combining influences from Japanese tradition with the best of Modernism, Ando has developed a completely unique building aesthetic that makes use of concrete, wood, water, light, space, and nature in a way that has never been witnessed in architecture. His designs include award-winning private homes, churches, museums, apartment complexes, and cultural spaces throughout Japan, as well as in France, Italy, Spain, and the USA.

This book, created at the height of Ando’s illustrious career, and thoroughly updated for this new 2012 edition, presents his complete works to date.

This book on the Pritzker Prize-winning architect Tadao Ando explores his recent work, which embodies principles of sustainability, site sensitivity, and craftsmanship.

Entirely self-educated, Tadao Ando is considered Japan’s leading architect and his sublime buildings are located all over the world. This book profiles ninety of Ando’s projects across the globe from the mid 1990s to today, including museums, convention centers, factories, shrines, residences, and corporate headquarters. Each building is beautifully photographed and is accompanied by drawings, sketches, plans, materials from the architect’s own studio, and in-depth commentary. In addition, Ando has written an enlightening essay on his work. An up-to-date collection of Ando’s works from the past fifteen years, this elegant book will please all fans of modern architecture.

This volume features unseen and unpublished works presented through lavish and striking colour photographs as well as detailed architectural drawings and plans of over thirty years of Ando’s residential work, from the Sumiyoshi Row House in 1975 to the current houses for global design connoisseurs and art collectors.

Forty-three new contemporary and timeless kitchens by renowned interior designers and kitchen specialists from all over the world.

In our quickly changing living environment, the kitchen is one of the most important locations in the interior. It is here that the family members meet every day, where they cook and eat, where they also work and play.

Interior architects and kitchen designers pay a lot of attention to the arrangement and organization of open-plan kitchens in their new projects.

This book offers readers dozens of inspirational ideas for the design and realization of their dream kitchen.

A complete introduction to contemporary gardens, from new innovations, practices, and materials, to the notable designers and their signature creations, to a glossary of key terms. This volume introduces the most important trends and issues in gardening today; defines what constitutes a contemporary garden; and examines the latest innovations, practices, and approaches that have contributed to its development.

Talk About Contemporary Gardens makes it easy for novice gardeners to identify different gardening styles and place them in historical context, from the wasteland redevelopments of Simone Kroll, to contemporary Japanese landscaping that embodies the spirit of Zen, to the natural feather gardens of Sylvie and Patrick Quibel. Since the art of landscaping is tied to nature and the elements, a chapter on the relationship between gardening and the seasons looks at the life cycles of plants, the importance of light, rain, and the seasons, and how gardens behave when the sun goes down.

The book demonstrates the relationship between landscape gardening and contemporary art, architecture, design, and urbanism, examining the rich influences that tie them all together. From Brancusis sculpture-filled spaces, to Gaudis natural curves and buildings, the text and illustrations highlight how these practices inform each other in the modern world.

Entirely pink gardens, the sweet perfume of Arabian jasmine, the tang of lemons and the gentle tinkling of fountains in the Imaginary garden: this book offers readers a sensory journey to some of the worlds most exotic gardens. A list of international gardens to visit, biographies of thirty great landscapers and their signature gardens, a list of key words, and a glossary complete the volume.

The 1990s saw the re-emergence of major tall buildings in Europe, particularly in the Netherlands, UK and Germany. This book will examine the significant tall buildings of Europe and similar projects in Moscow and Istanbul. In recent years, the Middle East has emerged as a centre for new tall buildings, with the construction of several very tall buildings in Dubai and Riyadh; commercial and residential projects in Tel Aviv; and tall buildings planned for Cairo. This publication will focus on buildings completed in the 90s and the early years of the new millennium in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. It will also feature most of the 'still-to-be-completed' major tall building projects and a selection of those constructed each decade throughout the 20th century. Compiled by Georges Binder, building and data expert on high-rise design.

The first book from acclaimed Australian interior designer Tamsin Johnson, known for her fresh interiors that evoke luxurious ease and coastal elegance.

Tamsin Johnson’s international high-end residential projects reflect her signature ability to combine pieces from across decades and continents in ways that feel understated and natural. This knack for appearing effortless brings the ultimate level of sophistication to her work.

Johnson favors elements of surprise and a sense of play in her designs, as evident in contrasts of scale, the bold use of art, and the sculptural nature of the furniture she selects or commissions. Her spaces celebrate comfort, character, and user-friendly design, and this philosophy is tangible in her showroom, where a veneration of European heritage is balanced with characteristics of modern coastal Australia. Under Johnson’s artful eye, traditional pieces become unexpectedly lighter, and a sense of luxurious ease pervades. In a trade which requires an eye for historical value, the objects Johnson sources and collects to accent her interiors have contemporary appeal — everything feels relevant and persuasive, as if even the most formal of objects could sit comfortably by your bedside. Johnson gracefully shares her ideas, images, and stories to illustrate these principles for readers, resulting in a book that is both a rich visual resource and design reference.
