First one-volume paperback edition of one of the most important documents in American architecture. Depicted are over 130 structures — the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Pierpont Morgan Library, Tiffany & Company, and the original Penn Station, among others, in New York, as well as many important landmarks in other cities. 435 photographs, over 250 line illustrations.

The first international publication dedicated to the internationally acclaimed Brazilian architecture studio MK27, founded by Marcio Kogan.

Studio MK27, located in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, was founded in the late ’70s by architect Marcio Kogan who is now partner of Diana Radomysler, Renata Furlanetto, Suzana Glogowski, and Mariana Simas. They lead a team comprised of 50 architects, most of whom have been together for over a decade.

While trying to keep it simple, Studio MK27 blurs the boundaries between the built and natural environments, building stories and shaping spaces through a meticulous process of design with great attention to textures and details.

The book features over 20 projects situated in different contexts all over the world, from the Brazilian countryside, passing through the urban context of Madrid, the snowy mountains of Whistler until an entire island built in Maldives. The book is organized into sections that will guide the reader from a macro to micro perspective of the Studio´s work: Inside-out, Narrative, Light, Texture and Body — especially dedicated to the partnership with Minotti.

Kogan is an honorary member of the AIA (American Institute of Architects), Professor at Politecnico di Milano Polo Mantova, and on the board of Museum of Art of São Paulo (MASP) and the Brazilian Museum of Sculpture and Ecology (MUBE). Since 2001, the practice has won over 250 international awards, representing Brazil at the Venice Biennale of 2012, ranking 39th in Dezeen´s Hotlist 2017, and including Wallpaper Design Awards.

The dense Asian city of Hong Kong has shaped and moulded Rocco Yim's views on architecure for more than 20 years. He sees architecture as being shaped by the city, rather than the reverse, a view that is fully expressed in his projects in the bustling Asian cities that are his specialty. His role as urban designer is that of a versatile, dynamic and incisive conceptual planner. This book features a selection of the early and later works of Rocco Yim, both built and unbuilt, and gives an unprecedented insight into the unique relationship this remarkable architect has with the city. Introductions by Professor Gary Hack of the University of Pennsylvania, and Professor Dennis Sharp analyse the contribution that Rocco Yim has made to contemporary architecture. An essay by Rocco Yim adds further insight.

Practising from the turn of the twentieth century to the beginning of the Second World War, Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott exerted a profound influence on English Arts and Crafts architecture and design as well as on the nascent modernist movement.

As a leader of the Arts and Crafts movement in Britain, Baillie Scott adhered to the philosophy that good design should be made available to everyone and should extend from the planning of towns to the creation of dishes and doorknobs. Baillie Scott maintained a characteristically English dedication to the domestic landscape, designing houses and gardens whose exterior forms and interior details were rooted in a romantic vision of vernacular construction and craftsmanship. But his spatial planning signalled a revolution in the organization of interior space, with the development of the open plan - and the introduction of the demotic, modern living room - around the same time that Frank Lloyd Wright was engaging in similar experiments across the Atlantic.

Photographer Ian Macdonald-Smith has captured thirty of the most characteristically innovative and charming extant houses designed by Baillie Scott, as well as their delightful gardens, in spectacular full-colour photographs taken for this book that expresses the vibrant craftsmanship and prescient planning of this early-twentieth-century master.

Since its founding in 1975, Urban Design Group (UDG) has shown a commitment to humanist architecture - to stewardship and enrichment of the built and natural environments and everyday life. The firm bases its achievements on its simple philosophy: listen to your clients and respond to their needs. UDG's portfolio includes an impressive depth of mixed-use work, themed resorts, large and small-scale hotels, commercial structures and varied residential designs. As this monograph demonstrates, UDG's architecture reflects a robust creative energy, a concern for the environment, a constant striving for artistic beauty and an insistence upon enduring quality.

During the past three decades, Portuguese architect Eduardo Souta de Moura has produced a body of work that is of our time but also carries echoes of architectural traditions. His oeuvre is convincing proof of modern idiom’s expressive potential and adaptability to distinct local situations. Always mindful of context, understood in the broadest sense, and grounded in place, time, and function, Souto de Moura’s architecture reinforces a sense of history while expanding the range of contemporary expression! Eduardo Souto de Moura’s architecture is not obvious, frivolous, or picturesque. It is imbued with intelligence and seriousness. His work requires an intense encounter not a quick glance. And like poetry, it is able to communicate emotionally to those who take the time to listen. His buildings have a unique ability to convey seemingly conflicting characteristics - power and modesty, bravado and subtlety, bold public authority and sense of intimacy - at the same time. For architecture that appears effortless, serene, and simple, and for the care and poetry that permeates each project, Eduardo Souta de Moura receives the 2011 Pritzker Architecture Prize

The best work by Tom Scheerer, the contemporary dean of American interior design, presented in a two–volume set with a stunning caning–patterned slipcase

Elegant. Restrained. Unpretentious. Sophisticated. Informal. These seemingly contradictory adjectives all characterize the inimitable interior design of Tom Scheerer, who has himself dubbed his style “Relaxed Modernism.” For more than three decades, he has brought his singular touch to city apartments, country houses, and tropical getaways. Each of the dozens of projects compiled in this two–volume set reveals the fierce intelligence, impeccable sense of proportion, and encyclopedic knowledge of design history that inform his deceptively effortless work. In a New York Times review of Scheerer’s first book, Tom Scheerer Decorates, design journalist David Netto describes it as “a highly personal exploration of the vanishing art of great American design, as pioneered by Van Day Truex, Billy Baldwin and Albert Hadley. Scheerer . . . is perhaps its most expert proponent today.” This collection, slipcased in the pattern of the designer’s signature caning, confirms Scheerer’s inclusion in the American design pantheon.

About the Authors:

Tom Scheerer began his decorating career in the mid–1980s after graduating from Cooper Union with a degree in architecture. He formed his own firm in 1995. He is the subject of Tom Scheerer Decorates and the author of Tom Scheerer: More Decorating. His work is regularly featured in Architectural Digest, Town & Country, House Beautiful, and Elle Decor. He is named annually to the AD100 list of top interior designers. He divides his time between New York, Paris, and Harbour Island.

Mimi Read is the author of Tom Scheerer Decorates. She writes about architecture and design for the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, The New Yorker, House Beautiful, Elle Decor, Food & Wine, Travel & Leisure, and many other publications. She lives in New Orleans.

Francesco Lagnese is an internationally acclaimed interiors and travel photographer whose work appears regularly in Condé Nast Traveler, US, UK, and Italy, Vanity Fair, House Beautiful, Town & Country, Town & Country Travel, and Architectural Digest. He lives in Germany.

The Palladian style dominated British architecture for most of the 1700s, until the rise of the Adam style, which held sway for the final decades of the eighteenth century. Brothers Robert and James Adam were almost single-handedly responsible for infusing Georgian architecture with the sensibilities and elements of classical Hellenic and Latinate design. Their elegant, sophisticated form of Neoclassicism affected not only architecture, but also interior design, furniture design, and landscaping.

The Works in Architecture of Robert and James Adam, one of the most celebrated books in architectural history, consists of the brothers' own selections of illustrations from their commissions. Dating from the 1770s, these 106 illustrated plates epitomize the style that influenced generations of British and American architectural and furniture designs. Created by some of the finest commercial engravers of the age — including four plates by Piranesi — these illustrations are painstakingly reproduced in perfect detail and clarity. The original text imparts the Adams' own esthetic and practical aims, and an informative introduction places the brothers' work in historical perspective.

Unabridged republication of the edition published in three volumes by Priestley and Weale, et al., London, 1778-1822.

Rarely does an organisation of worldwide importance acquire a headquarters that matches its aspirations. Written by John Morris Dixon, FAIA, an internationally respected architectural journalist, this book explores the design and engineering ideas, large and small, that make the World Bank headquarters in Washington DC outstanding. The winning design for the redevelopment of the World Bank headquarters site, by Kohn Pedersen Fox with a slate of distinguished collaborators, accommodates a vast and varied programme of working spaces within a limited volume, while offering throughout a work environment of exceptional quality. It presents to the world an image that is distinguished, yet free of monumentality or material excess. In the design stage, the scheme was widely praised and won a coveted P/A Awards Citation. The completed building won the Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects - a rare dual achievement.

The inimitable style of renowned French interior designer Madeleine Castaing, chronicled in-depth for the first time. While many were drumming to the beat of modernism in the early- and mid-twentieth century, French antiquaire and decorator Madeleine Castaing created her own look that was a unique blend of neoclassicism, Proustian romanticism, and pure wit. Her distinctive aesthetic vision has inspired tastemakers on both sides of the Atlantic, and her devotees - both then and now - are legion. Ocelot carpeting, opaline blue, "coolie" lampshades, and an eclectic mix of neoclassical furnishings ranging from English Regency to Napoleon III all formed part of the vocabulary of "le style Castaing." This lavishly illustrated volume - the first on her work - explores in-depth the elements of her style, and examines how she crafted interiors so emotive that visitors felt that they had stepped into a Balzac novel or a Proustian recollection. Her entire life and career are chronicled, from her early years in Montparnasse, the epicenter of artistic activity in Paris, to her incomparable country house Lèves and her legendary shop on rue Jacob in Paris.

Frank Lloyd Wright defined space as “the invisible fountain from which all rhythms flow and through which they must pass.” The genius of a visionary architect unfolds in this spectacular, over-sized volume, which features Wright’s best-known works, from Fallingwater to the Guggenheim Museum, as well as many that have received less attention. With a fascinating introductory essary by Margo Stipe, curator of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation's archive, plus stunning photography, Wright's own renderings, floor plans, a fully comprehensive annotated timeline and other special features.
