Movie theatre architecture is an architecture of night. Evening screenings take place in buildings that today more than ever are characterized by innovative architecture as well as extended functions.

Cinema Architecture explores different types of movie theatres. These range from self-contained buildings to cinemas that are components of entertainment or cultural centres, cinemas that are outside of their usual context, for instance in hotels, as well as multi-functional mobile screening constructions. The volume also focusses on the interior design which spans from flamboyant, luxurious and opulent to minimalist, modern and refined.

Місто Львів на заході України вже кілька років переживає процес трансформації, спрямований на модернізацію своєї інфраструктури та сприяння міському розвитку. Виклики, з якими зіткнулося місто, досягли безпрецедентного рівня після повномасштабного вторгнення Росії в лютому 2022 року. Львів швидко став критичним центром для сотень тисяч людей, які тікали з охоплених війною регіонів східної України. Місту було доручено пом'якшити безпосередні наслідки війни, одночасно розвиваючи стійкі структури для підтримки цієї ролі в короткостроковій, середньостроковій та довгостроковій перспективі.

Ще до війни місто сприяло розумному діалогу між дослідженнями та практикою на місцевому та міжнародному рівнях. Завдяки своїй Програмі академічного співробітництва архітектурні факультети Національного університету «Львівська політехніка» та TU Wien сприяють цьому постійному діалогу. У цій книзі обговорюються практичні та академічні пропозиції щодо міської трансформації Львова, особливо під час триваючої кризи. Таким чином, вона пропонує цінні ідеї для урбаністів, архітекторів, міських менеджерів, політиків, підприємців та широкої громадськості.

In an extensive but accessible format, City Living presents small-scale contemporary urban residences that prove domesticity can be compact and beautiful as well as green and urban.

On discovering a garage, a workshop or an old warehouse in which to live and very often to work and be creative, artists and professionals or less conventional spirits found their own space, open and bare, which they adapted to their personal needs.

Featuring the work of some of the world’s most prestigious architects, this book shows diverse examples of how the concept of the loft has been installed in our perception as a place to live.

Тім Стріт-Портер, давній мешканець Лос-Анджелеса та відомий фотограф, пропонує цей масштабний огляд найкращих історичних та сучасних будинків Лос-Анджелеса, які мають величезний резонанс для сучасного дизайну інтер'єру.

Видання «Street-Porter» з Лос-Анджелеса вже понад двадцять п'ять років фіксує архітектуру та інтер'єри цього мегаполісу. Ця приголомшлива колекція натхненних будинків починається з огляду на минуле, який включає приклади культових будинків, натхненних голлівудськими кінофантазіями, модерністських резиденцій таких світил, як Джон Лотнер, та будинків у стилі деконструктивізму Френка Гері. У центрі книги представлені сучасні перспективні будинки, розділені на дві частини: «Життя з мистецтвом та дизайном» та «Модерн Лос-Анджелеса». Антиквар Джоел Чен майстерно поєднує привабливу колекцію старовинних меблів та китайських предметів, тоді як будинок дизайнера інтер'єрів Жана-Луї Денуа виблискує позолоченим дзеркалом Тоні Дюкетта та люстрою з черепашки. Ще однією тенденцією є реставрація модерністських будинків з індивідуальним підходом. Переробка художницею Мері Везерфорд свого будинку, спроектованого А. Квінсі Джонсом, у співпраці з дизайнером Олівером Фертом має вражаючу помаранчеву спальню. Освітлюючи драматичні житлові простори Лос-Анджелеса, що поєднують інтер'єр та екстер'єр, ця книга є обов'язковою для шанувальників архітектури та дизайну.

A visually stunning and beautifully written celebration of park life around the world.

Parks are an absolutely essential part of modern life. From the author who brought you Lido, here are 50 of the world’s greatest parks – but not just a list of the examples we already know. Yes, we’ll tell you about those storied greats such as Central Park in New York and Phoenix Park in Dublin, but we’ll also take you to the Philippines, to Australia, to provincial Britain and around the world to show you the most historic and the most interesting, the newest and most cutting-edge that mix the best of nature and architecture. We’ll explore what you can find there, who goes there, why they are important, and how parks respond to their environments, including ones over a road, on old rail lines or in Berlin’s former airport. Examples include:

- Freeway Park, Seattle, USA: a bizarre and brilliant brutalist park over a motorway.
- Ibirapuera Park, São Paulo, Brazil: this one contains amazing galleries and theatres.
- Holyrood Park, Edinburgh, UK: mountains within a city.
- Adelaide’s parks, Australia: unique in that the entire city centre is enclosed by parks.

and many, many more. Illustrated with glorious photographs throughout, this book is a fascinating record of the world’s most interesting and innovative parks, and the people who use them – you’ll want to visit them all.

The first book to feature the precisely detailed, sumptuous architecture of Stanhope Gate, one of the finest firms working in the classical style anywhere.

Alireza Sagharchi, principal of Stanhope Gate Architecture, is one of the world's leading classical architects, whose projects are dazzling in their scale and accomplishment -- many of which, until now, have been unpublished and little seen. From a European Palladian villa to a country house in Scotland, Sagharchi's work is a testament to the virtues of traditional planning and design as married to an informed and inspired vision that embraces the wisdom of the past, of classicism and vernacular traditions, while establishing harmony with the needs of contemporary living.

Classicism at Home, richly detailed with new photography, meticulous drawings, and beautifully written text, features Sagharchi's work around the world, from a residence in Kensington Gardens, London, a chic eco-resort on the Danube, and a rural hunting lodge to an elegantly appointed courtyard house by the sea.

The practice works within diverse styles and the tradition of the local to create stylistically unique buildings that fit their context. The book features both exteriors and interiors, as well as exquisitely manicured gardens.

The importance of glass in the search of light and warmth throughout the history of architecture is unmatched. Today, glass still is and continues to be one of the most essential and versatile materials. In addition to its use for façade design, it is applied as a structural element, is able to present itself in the widest range of textures and colors and exhibits novel properties revealed by modern technology.

Using impressive photographs, drawings and sketches as well as informed texts, Clear Glass explores the timelessness and ceaseless fascination achieved by this translucent material. The book encompasses various architectural typologies and presents prestigious and innovative contemporary architectural projects from around the world.

Household organization is complicated, and the basic steps to attaining rooms which are uncluttered yet have everything within arm’s reach usually lie in choosing good storage options. All resources come into play when conceiving and designing functional and versatile rooms that adapt to their inhabitants and lend a coherent decor to the whole, all to one’s personal taste.

This book explores various storage solutions for apartments of different sizes. It is structured from the lowest to the highest available surface, and they all have aspects in common: the style of each house, the space available, the entrance of light and how to take advantage of it, and finally the color.

У своїй третій книзі Cocoon: Creating Homes with Heart Алі Гіт запрошує читача створити домашній затишок, зосереджений на людському дотику, як протиотруту від нашого швидкоплинного, технологічно керованого сучасного світу. Цей спосіб декорування — це набагато більше, ніж просто зовнішній вигляд чи стиль, це цілісний підхід, який спирається на всі наші почуття, а не лише на візуальні, і більш значуще пов’язує нас із собою та навколишнім середовищем. У минулому створення затишку полягало в оформленні кількох ключових кімнат, тепер же йдеться про те, які відчуття викликає в нас увесь будинок.

Кокон — це не ізоляція чи замкненість і не обов’язково означає відхід від мережі — це просто повернення до наших емоцій та творчості, щоб задовольнити нашу потребу в комфорті та диві. Поділена на три інформативні розділи: «Кокон», «Відчуття» та «Життя», книга досліджує домівки 13 творчих людей з усього світу, включаючи архітекторів, антикварів, виробників меблів та художників у Великій Британії, Франції, Іспанії, Італії та Австралії. З усім, від невеликих міських затишних куточків до просторих острівних затишних куточків, Cocoon втілює дизайнерський підхід, який промовляє до серця.
