A career-spanning, slipcased monograph in two volumes presenting the work of one of Asia's most thoughtful and innovative architects

This career-spanning monograph in two volumes presents the work of Vo Trong Nghia, one of Asia’s most thoughtful and innovative architects. His two main themes – green architecture and bamboo as a building material – form the basis of this celebration of his designs, which make clear reference to Vietnam’s troubled past and to the architect’s own adherence to the Five Precepts of Buddhism. From the Wind and Water Bar, his first foray into building with bamboo, to resorts, art installations and the pioneering residential series House for Trees, Vo Trong Nghia: Building Nature is a timely exploration of what it means to build green.

A global overview of the most contemporary and ingenious – and comfortable – former light-industrial spaces transformed into stylish modern residences.

The love of warehouse buildings – often in attractive waterside locations – has become a global phenomenon, from London to New York, from Sydney to Florence. Drawing on her own experience of living in a Grade II listed mill, Sophie Bush has amassed a wealth of knowledge, contacts and understanding about which ingredients make a building fit for contemporary habitation.

Warehouse Home is the ultimate resource for everything from how best to preserve and complement original architectural features to style ideas for adapting vintage and reclaimed pieces for modern living. The book has a practical structure, broken down into two key sections.

• 'Architectural Features' looks at how to make the most of a space while retaining its features, such as exposed brickwork, concrete floors and mezzanines. It also draws on examples of former industrial buildings across the world that have been renovated to create distinctive homes and workspaces, each selected for the originality or intelligence of its design.
• ‘Decorative Details' provides tips on how to recreate the warehouse aesthetic in any home, from repurposing pallets and breeze blocks as furniture to transforming exhaust cones into unique lighting fixtures.
• A reference section includes ideas on where to source everything from furniture to finishes.

Working with urban water presents one of the most fundamental and rewarding challenges in our cities today.

After realizing Asia is heavily in need of flood protection and improvement of water quality and urban quality, we feel delighted to present our ideas for those issues in this book. After the three editions of Waterscapes, we made a conscious decision to publish our most current work now in an English/Chinese bilingual version for Asia.

As the urbanisation process has reached an enormous speed, the consideration of clean water, blue sky and quality of life for people in dense cities has reached utmost importance. This has to be seen also in the light of harsh competition between cities and their abilities to attract investment and talent.

The Baltic Sea has gained rapidly in importance as a travel destination in recent years. More and more people appreciate the diversity found among urban designer hubs, sleepy and cozy villages, and ever-changing coastal strips. The new volume in the series on design retreats shows destinations away from mass tourism with a focus around the Great Belt.

Both an architectural and a travel guide, this volume offers inspiration and promises to fulfill the longing for peace, solitude and variety – for holidays spent at a farmstead on the dyke, above the sea on a crane, or in a fancy loft in Copenhagen. The common denominators among all accommodations presented here are a convincing design and a special location by the Baltic Sea.

The "Where Architects Stay"- Series heads towards the Water: Stylish vacation accommodations in the Baltic Sea region where architects would stay themselves when traveling.

- Kaj Hotel in Copenhagen, Denmark (Karl Smith-Meyer)
- Captain's House in Wieck a. Darß, Germany (Eva Feß-Hollenbach)
- House Birkedal on Møn, Denmark (Jan Henrik Jansen)
- Åhus Gästgivaregård, Sweden (Lena Nyholm)
- Smucke Steed in Glücksburg, Germany (Johanna Putensen)

It bodes well when architecture meets vacation. It is a combination that promises relaxation and pleasure, inspiration and style, all in one.

Every one of the more than 60 vacation domiciles presented in this guide to architecture and accommodation is a unique jewel that meets, perhaps even exceeds, the high esthetic expectations of the travelling architect. A brief encounter with any one of these will make the heart of every design enthusiast beat a little faster.

Each of these very special lodgings is distinguished by the highest stylistic quality, personal touches, originality and passion for detail: Whether minimalist, experimental, posh or lavish; whether newly built or refurbished; whether houseboat, luxury loft or treehouse; whether one-time church, vineyard, mill or pump room; whether located in the trendiest metropolis, high in the mountains or on a remote coastline; whether holiday home, resort, glamping or bed and breakfast...
