This book consists of two parts, a system of basic theories, guidelines and design standards, as well as a collection of warehouse and distribution center projects throughout the world to serve both referential and inspirational purposes.

Since Roman times, water has been a life-enhancing adjunct to buildings, intensifying their meaning and impact. Water architecture is beginning to enjoy a renaissance of popularity in both residential and public buildings. Though previously seen as environmentally wasteful, the designs in this book have been selected for their sustainability as architects have increasingly begun to incorporate social concerns such as this into their designs and planning. Whether it is the integration of water elements in urban areas for climatic purposes or incorporating aesthetic touches such as pools or fountains, all these aspects are not only encountering renewed interest among architects and urban planners, but are also commercially fashionable. This book reveals the extensive variety of potential for using water as an innovative element in architecture and landscape. "The Landscape Series" is a compilation of volumes featuring projects that show a strong ecological conscience and innovation in working with the landscape in order to produce architectural structures that are both beautiful and sustainable.

The book showcases 46 of the very latest projects of waterfront landscape design. Each project responds to a different design challenge with a commitment to provide responsible and innovative solutions. Illustrated with professional design drawings and detailed texts, the book offers readers a large variety of methods and visions for approaching waterfront landscape design.

Christiane de Nicolaÿ-Mazery’s What a Beautiful World! offers an intimate look inside the boldly designed spaces of Isabelle d’Ornano’s life, from the personal to the professional.

Isabelle d’Ornano, cofounder of the French skin care brand Sisley, has created places in her life as unique as they are exceptional. For the first time, d’Ornano opens the doors to her personal, family, and professional spaces — from the heart of a Paris apartment to a country house and genuine paradise in nature — in this beautiful, richly illustrated book. This intimate journey goes to London and ends in Paris in the headquarters of Sisley, which she created with her husband, Hubert.

In each of these places, the magic encompassing the luxurious and the spectacular introduces us to the artists and personalities whose friendships bookmark the milestones of d’Ornano’s life. Here, beauty reigns and lives through collages, paintings, watercolors, and sculptures, and even on cushions adorned with messages embroidered by d’Ornano. Punctuated by d’Ornano’s words and mantras, this book is a formidable source of inspiration for decoration enthusiasts and for those attracted to the contrasts, boldness, and talent of Isabelle d’Ornano’s life.

As the most individualized civil architecture, buildings for cultural events are the best stage for architects to practise their dreams, to express their perceptions to architectural art and ambitions. When culture meets architecture, some memories, some scenes or an attitude will find its medium to exist as a real and touchable thing. Besides those architectures that record a history or provide information, such as museum, library, memorial, archives centre and the like, more and more multi-functions cultural centres were built in cities, where people gather together for social event, entertainment, or sports, and they are also the new plaza where people can impress their sense of the city's identification deeper. Selected buildings for culture around the world are included in this book, with an invitation to witness the meeting between culture and architecture.

The Vienna Workshop and the "total work of art"

Founded in 1903 by Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, and Fritz Waemdorfer, the Wiener Werkstätte ("Vienna Workshop") was a collective of architects and craftsmen which aimed at fusing architecture and interior design into a Gesamtkunstwerk, or total work of art. Experimenting with various materials (gold, precious stones, and papier mâché, for example), the artists of the Wiener Werkstätte created buildings and objects which combined classical elegance with streamlined functionality.

Though the workshop lasted only thirty years, its influence is still strong today.
