The first-hand, behind-the-scenes account of the creative inspiration behind the High Line, the transformative public ‘park in the sky’ that has reshaped global perceptions of urban space – and become one of the most beloved and visited destinations in New York City.

The first full documentation that visually charts the journey of this global landmark from the designer’s point of view. Hundreds of illustrations showcase every aspect of the project and its unforeseen influence in its entirety.

Detailed, obsessive, quirky, compelling, and beautiful, the book captures the essence of the High Line.

The cabin has become our third place, our hideaway where we can recharge our spirits and reconnect with ourselves, away from the restraints of society and the stress of the everyday. This book presents the best new cabin architecture and design.

Escaping from the city and the everyday. Making a home within the forest’s foliage. Using architectural remains as a foundation for a new retreat. These are the makings of many daydreams and the realities present in The Hinterland. For, even if it only lasts a moment, we all need a change of scenery. Cabins provide that coveted change. Located on mountain tops, nestled in villages, or ensconced in lush forests, The Hinterland showcases homey hide-outs and charming cabins from shelter to domicile. These getaways free us from the distracting and unessential and offer to put us back in touch with nature and reclaim our own inner peace.

Thoughtfully crafted and built, the stories behind these structures are just as curious as the walls themselves. Through portraits of the inhabitants and their invitingly inventive homes, The Hinterland explores architecture and design approaches to creating works that refresh and revitalize amidst the beauty of nature. With the right materials and mindset, this stirring collection reveals that we can all create our own radiant refuge and follow the call of The Hinterland.

A definitive survey of the finest examples of residential architecture in Britain from 1900 to the present, featuring the major architects of the 20th century and leading emerging talents.

In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in the architectural history and heritage of Britain. This has been driven by many important political, cultural and social factors, as well as a powerful and renewed interest in the design of house and home.

The Iconic British House explores and celebrates fifty of the most architecturally significant houses from 1900 to the present. Encompassing major artistic movements, such as Arts and Crafts, Art Deco, Modernism and Postmodernism, the houses include examples designed by architects Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Edwin Lutyens, Berthold Lubetkin, Richard Rogers and many others. 21st-century innovation and imagination are evidenced in houses by established and emerging talents, such as Seth Stein, Nick Eldridge, Robin Partington and Ken Shuttleworth.

Much more than a celebration of influential homes, this richly illustrated overview is also a comprehensive guide to shifting architectural movements and ideas, a survey of great architects with international relevance and a journey through changing tastes, styles, aesthetics and patterns of living.

Що виглядає добре і чому?

Консультант з дизайну Фріда Рамстедт веде провідний скандинавський блог дизайну інтер’єру. У цій книзі вона розкриває секрети успішного дизайну інтер’єру та стилю, щоб допомогти вам створити будинок, який найкраще відповідає вашому простору, смаку та стилю життя. Довідник з дизайну інтер’єру, наповнений практичними порадами, емпіричними правилами та хитрощами, допоможе вам мислити як професійний дизайнер.

Почувайся як вдома

У The Interior Design Handbook консультант з дизайну Фріда Рамстедт пояснює та спрощує фундаментальні принципи та навички дизайну інтер’єру, даючи практичні правила та хитрощі, які будуть корисні кожному, незалежно від смаку в меблях чи особистого стилю. Це показує, як невеликі коригування можуть мати значний вплив на загальний ефект, без необхідності купувати безліч нових предметів або виривати щось і починати з нуля.

Це книга, на яку ви можете посилатися, коли збираєтеся перетворити свій будинок або квартиру на дім; книга, яка допоможе вам знайти власні рішення, а не просто заохочуватиме вас копіювати ідеї інших людей.

Освітлення

Подібно до того, як фарби та пензлі можна використовувати для створення візуального ефекту та настрою в кімнаті, освітлення можна використовувати таким же чином. Місце, де ми розміщуємо лампи, спрямовуємо промені світла та те, як ми поєднуємо різну силу світла, може значно змінити кімнату, перетворюючи її з дня на ніч одним клацанням вимикача.

Поради щодо дизайну

Декоратори та стилісти інтер’єрів часто групують об’єкти, щоб привернути увагу або підсилити стиль і настрій, який вони намагаються досягти в інтер’єрі. Ці композиції називаються натюрмортами. Групувати речі, а не розкладати їх – це ефективний спосіб зробити дизайн, який насичений деталями, більш цілісним.

Стиль проти комфорту

Оскільки вітальня часто є найбільшою групою меблів у наших вітальнях, диван і крісла передають повідомлення про естетичне та функціональне відчуття, яке ми намагаємося створити. Вони мають властивість заглушати будь-які інші стилістичні вказівки в кімнаті, тому так важливо, щоб, вибираючи їх, ми дотримувалися нашої тематичної червоної нитки або, принаймні, не дозволяли подіям рухатися в іншому напрямку від запланованого.

A major overview of Japanese residential architecture of the past five years by big names, including three Pritzker prize-winners, and emerging architects

Japanese houses today have to contend with unique factors that condition their design, from tiny plots in crowded urban contexts to ever-present seismic threats. These challenges encourage their architects to explore alternating ideas of stability and ephemerality in various ways, resulting in spaces that are as fascinating as they are idiosyncratic. Their formal innovation and attention to materials, technology and measures to coax in light and air while maintaining domestic privacy make them cutting-edge residences that suggest new ways of being at home. Contemporary Japanese architecture has emerged as a substantial force on the international scene ever since Kenzo Tange won the Pritzker Prize in 1987. This overview of 50 recent houses powerfully demonstrates Japan’s enduring commitment to design innovation.

Contents List:

Introduction • 50 Houses, including projects all over Japan by architects including ALX, Tadao Ando, ARtechnic, Atelier Bow-Wow, Atelier Tekuto, Shigeru Ban, C+A Coelacanth, Double Negatives, Eastern Design, Shuhei Endo, Masaki Endoh, Terunobu Fujimori, Sou Fujimoto, Fujiwara + Muro, Masahira Harada + MAO, Go Hasegawa, Naoko Horibe, Takeshi Hosaka, Jun Igarashi, Junya Isigami, Keiko + Manabu, Daisuke Maeda, UID/Keisuke Maeda, Norisada Maeda, Keiko Aita, Yuji Nakae, Koji Nakawatase, Satoshi Okada, Kazuyo Sejima, Hiroyuki Shinozaki, Suppose Design Office, TNA, Makiko Tsukada, Tsukano Architects and Koji Tsutsui

The definitive overview of and ultimate resource on the iconic architect-designed houses built in Japan from 1945 to the present

Imagine a terraced house whose courtyard separates the kitchen from the bedroom. Or a tiny, triangular tower of rooms stacked one above another. Quirky, experimental and utterly fascinating, the houses produced in Japan since the end of the Second World War are among the most exceptional in the world. The Japanese House Since 1945 is a cohesive chronology of the most compelling architect-designed Japanese homes, showing developments in form, material, architectural expression and family living over almost eight decades.

Unparallelled in their conceptual purity, many Japanese houses have become icons at home as well as abroad. Presented with clear prose and accompanied by compelling photographs and drawings, this book features 97 houses, divided among nine chapters and organized by decade. In addition to acquainting the reader with individual homes, the book illuminates the social, technological, geographic and historical factors behind these era-defining houses. Developments over the period are underscored by the visual presentation, as it evolves from monochrome to colour and from hand-drawn to digital. Decade lead-ins set the historical context for each chapter, while ‘Spotlight’ segments draw attention to the separate components of the Japanese house. ‘At Home’ sections, most written by architects and their family members, bring to life the experience of living in these unique houses.
