This is the complete monograph of UN Studio’s output.

In the seventeen years since Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos established their studio in Amsterdam, they have continually pushed the boundaries of contemporary architecture, seeking new design practices and building solutions.

With major projects recently completed or approaching completion in Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Korea and the Netherlands, and teaching appointments in Germany and the United States, UN Studio is creating some of the most innovative and respected work of their generation. Their recently opened Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart cemented their reputation as one of Europe’s most influential architecture practices.

From a live-work house based on a Möbius strip to radical infrastructure projects, such as bridges and transportation hubs, from power stations to museums, the practice has subtly, but profoundly, reinvented a number of standard building types and proposed radical new modes of collaboration in the digital age.

The work of this European architectural design firm is an important addition to The Images Publishing Group's Master Architect Series, which showcases the most significant works of today's leading international architects. For the firm's founders and principals, Denis Valode and Jean Pistre, each project they embark on is a social act for both client and user, an act based upon original research and reflection, an act of creation in response to a specific program and site. This philosophy and the firm's exacting requirements for quality in design and construction have ensured that Valode & Pistre's work has been in constant demand around the world. This new monograph (the first of the firm's work in English language) bears testament to their international renown, detailing major works in their portfolio, which includes commercial, retail, industrial and cultural projects.

Жизненный путь Дмитрия Величкина и Николая Голованова удивительно схож. Оба родились в Москве в 1959 году. Окончили Московский архитектурный институт в 1983 году. Ныне являются его профессорами. Совместное творчество началось в 1988 году, когда Величкин и Голованов основали  «Архитектурно-художественные мастерские» (А&А), имея за плечами опыт работы в государственных проектных организациях. В 1990-е известность фирме принесли работы в сфере частного заказа: проекты интерьеров и загородных резиденций. Сегодня ведущим направлением деятельности бюро является проектирование и реализация значимых объектов городской среды (жилые здания, многофункциональные комплексы, бизнес-центры) как в столице, так и провинции.

John Saladino's powerful new book, Villa, is nothing less than a master class in interior and garden design by one of the world's most distinguished architectural designers.

It focuses on the stone ruin in the California hills looking over the Pacific that he has painstakingly refashioned as his dream house. It shows how his principles and passions guided him through the five-year process of reconstruction, restoration and decoration of the house and its gardens.

With the aid of groundplans, drawings, photographs of the house in the 1920s, as it looked when he first bought it and during reconstruction, the author traces the architectural work involved.

Then, in a superbly illustrated tour of the house and grounds, he proves that he practices what he has preached for more than thirty years. He juxtaposes light and dark, old and new, classical and modern, monumental and miniscule, hard and soft, to create the serenely timeless interiors and gardens that are his hallmark.

Included with the book is a DVD tour of the house and garden, with a commentary by the author.

Reviews.

The infrared photos Mr Saladino includes among the colour ones are ghostly and lovely, and Mr Saladino's interiors are as painterly as ever. - New York Times

The volume - "lavish" is an insufficient adjective - ought to inspire anyone planning a move, but, we warn you, it sets the bar very high. - Times

Part of the pleasure of Villa is the detail - every photograph is carefully captioned giving an idea or a lesson, from a master craftesman. - Daily Telegraph

Her mix-and-match philosophy will help readers discover and express their own tastes. Perera takes the intimidation out of blending styles, proving that pairing seemingly opposing pieces can strike a balance that is classically chic.

Praise for Vintage Remix:
“In her new book Vintage Remix: The Interiors of Kishani Perera, the Los Angeles designer proves that ‘eclectic’ does not have to be code for ‘messy’ or ‘absolute disarray.’ The homes she decorates mix high-end furnishings with eBay and Etsy finds, flea market pieces, and mass-market purchases for rooms that reflect an individual's personality with warmth and often a touch of glamour.” —Los Angeles Times

William Burges (1827-81) was arguably the greatest of all Victorian architects. But he was more than just the creator of a modest number of fabulous, and fabulously expensive, buildings. He dreamed of hundreds more, designed dozens, and in addition created some of the most remarkable furniture and jewellery of all time.

He was an art-architect. Rich, clever, well connected and short lived, he was uncompromising, profoundly learned, skilled in every process of design and explosively inventive. A brilliant talker, pungent critic and hilarious companion, he was one of Victorian London's great eccentrics and networkers, though he was bewitched by the Middle Ages.

The great buildings that he completed include Cork Cathedral, Cardiff Castle and the even more eccentric Castell Coch, the great Yorkshire churches of Skelton and Studley Royal, the magnificent country houses of Knightshayes in Devon, and Mount Stuart on the Isle of Bute, and his own astonishing Tower House in Kensington. His furniture, fabric and jewellery designs and his unrealised projects were also hugely influential, and the former are now enthusiastically collected.

This book was a landmark in Victorian studies when first published in 1981 and is now completely revised and re-illustrated substantially in colour.

William Morgan began his architectural education at Harvard in 1948. In recognition of Morgan's record of excellence in architectural design, the American Institute of Architects (AIA) elevated him to fellowship in 1975, and shortly after he was elected chairman of the AIA Committee on Design. For Morgan, architecture has integrity when it is inextricably anchored to its place and time, while simultaneously being ordered by principles both universal and timeless. These attributes allow us to characterise his architecture as being at once ancient and modern. The depth of Morgan's historical grounding, derived from first-hand experiences documenting ancient sites, is unequaled among his practicing peers, being more typical of professional archaeologists and architectural historians.

Through his eclecticism, William Morris (1834-1896) was one of the most emblematic personalities of the nineteenth century. He was a painter, architect, poet and engineer.

Wolterinck's touch is boundless and is taking the international scene by storm. Far and wide, interiors and exteriors, terraces, gardens and events are undergoing magical metamorphoses, courtesy of this prominent designer. This title includes text in English and Dutch.

Cities like Hong Kong do not just appear out of nowhere. Behind and beyond the skyline and the tourist attractions, people from all parts of China and the world have worked together to overcome daunting internal obstacles and external forces. In architecture, Wong & Ouyang has been an important contributor to that immense effort. The publication of this book, Wong & Ouyang – Blueprints for Hong Kong on the occasion of its 50th anniversary, is a fitting tribute to the accomplishments of the firm.

In the last half century, buildings have become increasingly complex. The range of projects illustrated in this book – from master plans to building complexes to individual buildings – shows the scope of Wong & Ouyang’s capabilities. Looking at the procession of projects and how they have changed over the years, it becomes apparent that the long-term stability and continuity of the firm and its ability to draw on expertise from around the world has created a strong core competence and ‘institutional memory’. That has been a key factor in its ability to learn and improve with each succeeding task. The variety and size of the projects parallel the change and growth of Hong Kong to its present status as one of the most advanced cities in the world.
