The only book devoted to the sole building ever built in the United States by the mid-century Italian master architect and designer, whose brand has a cult following and ever-growing popularity.

Opened in 1971, Denver Art Museum's north building, a seven-story structure -- with its distinctive cut-out roofline, narrow windows, and an exterior covered with more than a million custom-made glass tiles -- was one of the first high-rise art museums.
In 2020, after a two-year closure for renovations, the museum is reopening the Ponti building, which will include new architecture and design galleries featuring an exhibition of Ponti-designed objects from the Denver Art Museum and local collections.
The book will include both recent and historic photography, including many architectural details, and tell the story of how Gio Ponti, at the end of his long and remarkable career, created an architectural icon in the American West.

Dr. Mäkelä, former chair of the Department of Architecture at the University of Colorado Denver, will contribute an in-depth illustrated history of the building. Darrin Alfred, DAM Curator of Architecture and Design, will write about Ponti's design work using objects from the DAM collection as examples. Architect Jorge Silvetti will write about his admiration for Ponti's masterpiece from his perspective as one of the architects in charge of the renovations

The second volume of extraordinary and innovative projects by the award-winning architecture firm based in New York, London, and Istanbul.

The scope of Emre Arolat Architecture (EAA) projects is all-encompassing, from luxury hotels, museums, and factories to multiuse complexes. EAA's roots are in modernism's honesty of structure, expression, and materials, yet their projects are tempered by the context and the tradition and culture from which they spring.

The book highlights thirty-two projects across Turkey, England, Portugal, and the United States. Projects include the award-winning Sancaklar mosque, built in a cavelike space with walls of concrete and slate, which seamlessly blend in with the topography; the architect sought to strip away design conventions and return to the essence of Islamic philosophy. The Museum Hotel Antakya engages a novel design strategy for a hospitality center, which straddles archaeological findings: it is built alongside the ruins of St. Pierre Church (an important Christian pilgrimage site). Other projects include the innovative Istanbul Museum of Painting and Sculpture, which will historically document and display the largest collection of paintings of Turkish artists, and the Abdullah Gül Presidential Museum and Library, the first presidential museum of Turkey. All-new photography for each project is accompanied by the architect's drawings and plans.

A masterful combination of traditional inspiration with contemporary elegance.

The sensibility of interior design firm Nickey Kehoe ranges from minimal to maximal, quiet to baroque, but always seeks to express the ephemeral feeling of a space. Designers Todd Nickey and Amy Kehoe are fascinated by how a room can come together to express its own persona, as though the design "just happened." Describing themselves as object-obsessed observers, Nickey and Kehoe pay keen attention to their clients' passions, preferences, and beloved pieces, juxtaposing elements and styles in deceptively simple ways. The result is interior design that appears as if it were a personal collection randomly put together, when in fact it is the product of their very mindful curating.

Nickey Kehoe's studied but unfussy design is elegant but never staid, proud but humble, full of detail but resplendent with negative space. And then they add a bit of the unexpected -- a combination of layered patterns and palettes, different time periods, humorous gestures, clever lighting -- any element that keeps their impeccable sense of balance from becoming predictable or formulaic.

This collection of residential interiors is for the curious, for lovers of studied but unfussy design, and for those who appreciate being surrounded by beautiful things with a story to tell.

About the Authors:

When it comes to golf course design, Robert Muir Graves and Geoffrey S. Cornish are true masters. Over the past few decades, they have produced every type of course imaginable: long and short, entry level and upscale, courses built on ocean bluffs and swamps, courses located in the United States and around the world. Now, drawing on this vast experience and their popular golf course design seminars held at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and nationwide for the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, Graves and Cornish share a wealth of expertise on all aspects of design and construction in this outstanding book.

Golf Course Design covers all of the major historic, aesthetic, business, and technical issues of the subject-- from course layout, hole design, drainage, irrigation, and turf-grass selection to planning, financing, construction, and environmental considerations.

Photographer David Cannon began his career in sports photography twenty-five years ago and is considered the premier golf photographer in the world.

Having played at more than seven hundred golf courses in over fifty countries, Cannon photographs with a true golfer's eye, offering an extraordinary window into some of the world's most celebrated courses — with more than 40 in North America, dozens in Asia and the South Pacific, and several in both Africa and the Middle East.

Savor a view from the 11th hole of the incomparable and historic St. Andrews's Old Course bathed in golden afternoon light; glimpse giraffes and elephants from any green at Leopard Creek, South Africa; vicariously experience Pirate's Plank, the harrowing 15th hole at Cape Kidnappers, New Zealand, which is set at the very end of the clifftop fairway surrounded by dramatic 500-foot drops to the ocean; and take in the serene sea view from the signature 18th hole of the very private Seminole Golf Course in Florida.

Golf Courses stunningly captures the singular genius and beauty of golf courses. It is a comprehensive collection of the world's best courses by revered designers including Donald Ross, Pete Dye, and Robert Trent Jones, Sr., and such new talent as Steve Smyers and Tom Doak, among many others — all of whom skillfully orchestrate the exceptional union of nature and course design on five continents.

This deluxe, limited-edition volume features over two hundred sumptuous colour photographs of courses, some of which have never been photographed or published previously, in full spreads and gatefolds — some measuring over five feet in length — and includes a numbered print signed by the photographer.

Вражаюче факсимільне видання великого розміру відомого тексту найулюбленішого садівника Вільяма Робінсона з новими кольоровими фотографіями та передмовою нинішнього відомого садівника Тома Коварда, які оживляють цей історичний маєток і сад.

Маєток Граветі вважається, разом із сусідніми садами Сіссінгхерст і Грейт Дікстер, одним із найвідоміших і найвишуканіших садів Англії. Робінсон придбав нерухомість епохи Єлизавети в 1885 році; працюючи десятиліттями над створенням своїх відомих садів. Нещодавно його перетворили на розкішний готель із рестораном, удостоєним зірки Мішлена, а відомий британський садівник Ковард чотирнадцять років працював над відновленням садів відповідно до оригінального бачення Робінсона.

Змістовний і плідний Робінсон, як відомо, був одним із найвидатніших садівників усіх часів, відомим як «ірландець, який навчив британців садівництву», а також піонером натуралістичного стилю садіння, якому досі наслідують дизайнери садів, зокрема Піт Удольф та багато інших.

Згадуючи конкретні рослини, сорти та схеми посадки, а також спостерігаючи за сезонними змінами та настроями, сучасні домашні садівники будуть мати зв’язок із чарівним і цікавим оригінальним текстом Робінсона та бачитимуть їхні власні невеликі зусилля, відображені в його власних садівничих тріумфах, невдачах та експериментах.

Нові кольорові фотографії нинішніх садів маєтку показують, як старанно докладаються зусилля, щоб відновити будинок і сад відповідно до оригінального бачення Робінсона — до вражаючого результату.

Про авторів:

Вільям Робінсон був одним із найулюбленіших і найбільш продаваних авторів-садівників усіх часів. Його оригінальні роботи включали The Wild Garden та The English Flower Garden. 

Том Ковард є одним із найповажніших головних садівників, які працюють сьогодні. Спочатку він навчався в RHS Wisley, Kew Gardens, а пізніше у Фергуса Гаррета в Great Dixter.

Great Houses of Havana — це чудово ілюстрована презентація найвидатніших резиденцій Гавани, присвячена сторіччю творчості, дизайну та стилю, які зробили місто «Парижем Карибського моря», з повною історичною інформацією про архітекторів, дизайнерів і відомих жителів.

Great Houses of Havana відзначає сторіччя творчості, дизайну та стилю, які зробили місто «Парижем Карибського моря».

Протягом чотирьохсот років Гавана була центром іспанської торгівлі в західній півкулі. З розширенням цукрової промисловості, незалежністю від Іспанії та північноамериканськими інвестиціями Гавана стала містом великого багатства, чудового стилю та чудових будинків у лексиці, яка була унікальною сумішшю європейських, американських та карибських елементів.

Great Houses of Havana простежує еволюцію кубинського будинку від класичного іспанського колоніального будинку з внутрішнім двориком до «тропічних модерністських» вілл 1950-х років - будинків, що відображають міжнародні архітектурні тенденції, залишаючись при цьому вірними кубинським традиціям. Соціальна історія Куби проходить через всю книгу.

Вінтажні фотографії ілюструють вишуканий спосіб життя Гавани – бали-маскаради, пікніки в яхт-клубах і династичні весілля модних кубинців та їхніх іноземних гостей. Популярні кафе, готелі, театри та курорти вихідного дня також представлені, створюючи вид на привілейоване життя в закритих особняках найвеличніших районів міста

Discover the stories of some of the most breathaking and historic great houses of London, along with their secrets, in this lavishly illustrated compedium.

London has a wealth of truly stunning great houses, seen by many as one of the marvels of English architecture, and yet to many their histories, their interiors and their occupants remain unknown.

This book, illustrated throughout with sumptuous photography of these breathaking residences, reveals to us this secret world of riches and splendour.

From the baroque and imposing magnificence of 10 Downing Street, perhaps London's most famous address, to the extraordinary Pre-Raphaelite mosaics of Debenham House to the confident, futuristic steel and glass of the Richard Rogers House in Chelsea, this book showcases these properties and details their origin as well as the many transformations they have undergone from their construction to the present day.

There are many architectural wonders, among them Robert Adam's 20 St James’s Square and William Burges’s Tower House. Several — including Bridgewater House with its Raphaels and Titians — have held great art collections.

These are houses that hold extraordinary stories: half the Cabinet resigned after breakfast at Stratford House; and on 4 August 1914, at 9 Carlton House Terrace — then the German Embassy — young duty clerk Harold Nicholson deftly substituted one declaration of war for another.

With photography by the world-famous and multi-award winning Fritz von der Schulenburg, this title brings these houses to life in all their grandeur, and text from historian and author James Stourton delves into the many fascinating stories hidden behind the walls of these homes.

Great Houses of London opens the door to some of the greatest and grandest houses in the world to tell the stories of their owners and occupants, artists and architects, their restoration, adaptation and change.

Now available in a more compact format.

An exquisitely photographed collection of the great houses and mansions of the South.

In the tradition of Rizzoli’s Historic Houses of the Hudson Valley and Great Houses of New England, Great Houses of the South features a stunning array of newly photographed homes that range over three centuries and are distinctive examples of the architecture of the region. While in popular imagination the "Southern Style" is embodied in the classic Southern plantation house with its Greek Revival detailing — its stately white columns, wide porch, and symmetrical shape—the houses themselves are much more various and engaging, as shown in this important volume. From stately Stanton Hall of Natchez, Mississippi, one of the most magnificent and palatial residences of antebellum America; to Longue Vue House and Gardens of New Orleans, the luxurious Classical Revival–style home of Edgar and Edith Stern; to the fabled Biltmore of Asheville, North Carolina, the opulent French Renaissance – inspired chateau and Gilded Age estate of George Washington Vanderbilt, this lavish volume is comprehensive in scope and a landmark work of enduring interest to homeowners, architects, architecture historians, and all those who love fine architecture.

This stunning book presents the intriguing stories and celebrated histories of some of the leading families of Great Britain and Ireland and the opulent residences that have defined their heritages. The history of England is inextricably linked with the stories of its leading aristocratic dynasties and the great seats they have occupied for centuries. As the current owners speak of the critical roles their ancestors have played in the nation, they bring history alive. All of these houses have survived great wars, economic upheavals, and, at times, scandal. Filled with stunning photography, this book is a remarkably intimate and lively look inside some of Britain’s stateliest houses, with the modern-day aristocrats who live in them and keep them going in high style. This book presents a tour of some of England’s finest residences, with many of the interiors shown here for the first time. It includes Blenheim Palace — seven acres under one roof, eclipsing the splendor of any of the British royal family’s residences — property of the Dukes of Marlborough; the exquisite Old Vicarage in Derbyshire, last residence of the late Dowager Duchess of Devonshire (née Deborah Mitford); Haddon Hall, a vast crenellated 900-year-old manor house belonging to the Dukes of Rutland that has been called the most romantic house in England; and the island paradises on Mustique and St. Lucia of the 3rd Baron Glenconner. This book is perfect for history buffs and lovers of traditional interior design and English country life.

One client, multiple decorators, extraordinarily influential rooms — an intimate look at the interiors of a design aficionada both working with preeminent interior designers and creating her own environments.

The decorating evolution of Bryan — one of the great patrons of interior design — has gone from classic modernism to sumptuous traditionalism to romantic eclecticism and everything in between, with the collaboration of such renowned interior designers as Tom Britt, Mica Ertegun, Susan Gutfreund, Mark Hampton, and Studio Peregalli Sartori. Each residence and each room make up an aesthetic memoir that explores those collaborations, reveals insights into the various processes, and inspires others to look at their own spaces and consider a myriad of beautiful and appropriate options. Anecdotes divulge her astute guidance and the charming idiosyncrasies of some of the twentieth century’s greatest decorators.

For Bryan, decorating has been a fifty-year journey of education, relocation, and transformation — with homes in New York City, Palm Beach, East Hampton, Brussels, and Paris to name a few. Each of the twenty-three residences that Bryan has called her own has been a stepping stone in the development not only of one woman’s style, identity, and character but also of American interior-design history.
