Dominique Perrault's architecture and urban designs are strictly modern, yet his simple and efficient shapes contain a classical and timeless element. He constantly manages to satisfy the need to be reasonable without sacrificing the aesthetic awareness that breathes life into his buildings. Perrault's work is without a predictable set of standards or style. He gives no specific meaning or system to his designs, but rather a uniqueness from start to finish. Perrault's portfolio of work includes Bibliotheque Nationale de France, APLIX Factory, The Great Greenhouse, Book Technology Centre, Water Purification Plant for S.A.G.E.P., University for Electrical and Electronic Engineering and the Olympic Velodrome and Swimming Pool in Berlin.

"Eventually everything connects – people, ideas, objects, etc.,... the quality of the connections is the key to quality per se."
- Charles Eames

"... everything hangs on something else."
- Ray Eames

Nothing says modernist perfection like an Eames design. Though they are best known to the general public for their furniture, the husband and wife duo of Charles and Ray Eames (1907-78 and 1912-88, respectively) were also forerunners in the fields of architecture, industrial design, photography, and film. This book covers all the aspects of their illustrious career, from the earliest furniture experiments and molded plywood designs to the Case Study Houses to their work for Herman Miller and films such as the seminal short, Powers of Ten.

A woman among Modernists

'More is more'. That is the motto of paster decorator Pieter Porters. His interiors are rich, full and cosy; even a little decadent. Interiors in which people can really live. The luxurious finishing of Elegance & Decadance also reflects that grandness.

What is the use of a lovely house or interior if you dare not live in it? If you are frightened of making something dirty or damaging it? In our eyes, a house should be a warm nest, a place where after a busy day, you can relax, and where family and friends are welcome.

Whether we help build up a house from cellar to attic, or add atmosphere to an existing interior with a few well-chosen accessories, at House of Porters we want to create a timeless world, in which people will feel comfortable. We aim for warmth, light, homeliness, comfort. Cold interiors or harsh colours are not our things. That does not mean that we never take on design or modern interiors, but even then we strive for that timeless atmosphere, regardless of trends or fashion fads. Our interiors are meant to grow and develop with their occupants throughout their lives.

The interiors illustrated in this book show perfectly what the House of Porters stands for: sumptuous, homely, warm and elegant, with here and there a touch of decadence.

Featuring interiors from all over the world, including Belgium, The Netherlands, the UK, Germany and Colombia, the pictures by Studio Verne and the magnificent layout by Leen De Pooter will fully grasp the authenticity and vivacity of Pieter Porters' interiors.

Pieter Porters is a decorator and flower binder. His timeless interiors can be admired in an astonishing house in the centre of Antwerp, where he also gives workshops and has a hotel. His previous book Senses of Living was an international bestseller.

This beautiful book is hand-bound with Linen that Porters designed himself and the book has a special closing system with a ribbon and a knot.

Recently awarded the Venice Biennale 2008 ‘Silver Lion for Most Promising Young Architect’, Elemental is a Chilean initiative creating innovative solutions for subsidized housing. The program’s urban projects aim to improve social housing for poverty stricken families. Elemental organized an international architecture competition which resulted in seven constructed projects throughout Chile as hybrids between house and building, pushing the limits of expansion and density. Built in central areas, these houses are half-constructed, offering inhabitants the infrastructure to extend the house to personal needs. This is a fascinating study of the successes and failures of the ‘Elemental Houses’. ELEMENTAL is a Do Tank affiliated with the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and COPEC, implementing urban projects for social interests.

Robert A. M. Stern Architects, over its forty-year history and across a wide range of building types, has defined principles common to all projects. Stern articulates the ideas that govern his design process through this rich visual presentation of all types of his work: museums and cultural institutions, colleges and universities, commercial and residential developers, and, famously, private residential clients throughout the United States and Europe.

Evidence serves as a visual synthesis of Stern's methodologies, revealing the firm's vision through juxtapositions of building, material and landscape: "We never think of just the building. We like to think of the next bigger thing—what other buildings will come next to it, but also the siting and landscaping. Abstract compositional principles do interest me but not when I begin a design. I begin with a cultural assessment of the building as a type, the place it is set in, and lastly its obligations to its particular moment in time."

Through 400 illustrations, Stern illuminates key architectural concepts by examining components: stunning windows harmonizing with their views, elegant entryways, meticulous stonework, homes conversing with their settings. On each page, Stern pairs images that challenge the idea that tradition means statis. Rather, tradition can be interpreted to suit all situations in an increasingly complex world.

ZwD Living розпочав свою діяльність у 1968 році. Його завдання полягає в тому, щоб пов’язати дизайн із ароматом деревини, дотиком, звуками та температурою. Він гарно виглядає і, будучи натуральним, до нього приємно торкатися.Проекти ZwD виходять за рамки дизайну, призначені для візуальних і двовимірних цілей, які створені для передачі зображення, а не змісту. Вони передають відчуття захисту, яке відчуває тепло деревини. Їх форми не є абстрактними, тому що вони потребують зв’язку з реальністю, з людиною та її культурою: таким чином не лише дизайнер, але й люди можуть реально відчути дизайн.

Ця книга художника є найповнішим оглядом Novembre як архітектури інтер'єру та дизайну продуктів. Трохи більше ніж за десять років Фабіо Новембре зробив собі ім'я завдяки привабливим інтер'єрам, видовищним інсталяціям та пишним, але функціональним дизайнам продуктів. Novembre — сольний голос у сучасному хорі мінімалізму, створюючи інтер'єри, меблі, дизайн та інсталяції, поєднуючи старі та нові матеріали, встановлюючи часовий пояс між Візантією та фільмом «Той, що біжить по лезу». Сильна та красномовна, аж ніяк не скромна чи тиха, його архітектура радикально явна та явна. Він поєднує задоволення від життя з високим дизайном, здається, з ідеальною легкістю, щоб створити середовища такими, якими він сам їх переживає: інтенсивно та на яскраво-особистісному рівні. Ця книга є вичерпним оглядом дизайнів Novembres на сьогоднішній день, включаючи магазин Blumarine у ​​Лондоні, крісло S.O.S. та його шезлонг для Cappellinia — поетичні творіння, які розбурхують часто ліниві території комунікації та сучасного дизайну та встановлюють нові орієнтири для майбутніх курсів міжнародного стилю дизайну.

The Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning at the University of Michigan offers three fellowships in the areas of architectural research and design instruction. The exemplary work of 57 of these fellows is the subject of this book, and honors the history of design excellence at the University.

Muschenheim fellows play a significant role in the definition of studio culture while pursuing their own creative endeavors. Proposals for the Muschenheim Fellowship focus upon the development of a specific centering upon a particular set of pedagogical themes to be engaged in the studio context.

The Oberdick Project Fellowship facilitates the development and realization of a significant exploration into some aspect of architectural speculation and production. Projects may range from the exploration of emergent building, fabrication, and environmental technologies to the realization of architectural works and endeavors typically unsupported within conventional models of practice.

The Sanders Fellowship supports individuals with significant, compelling and timely research dealing with architectural issues. Research can encompass architectural, urban, landscape, or cultural history or theory; architectural or environmental technology; or design studies.
