The story of internationally renowned architect I. M. Pei’s life and work, including such instantly recognisable buildings as the glass pyramid at the Louvre, Paris, and the National Gallery of Art's extension in Washington, D.C.

I. M. Pei (1917–2019) was one of the world’s most influential architects. Born and raised in China, Pei trained and worked in the United States, establishing a practice that spanned seven decades and multiple continents. His legacy includes the realisation of some of the most high-profile projects of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, from the modernisation of the Louvre in Paris to the design of the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha. Pei’s life and work are explored here through six topics that were central to his unique approach to architecture: transcultural identity, urban redevelopment, art and civic form, material and structural innovation, politics and patronage, and regenerating cultural and historical archetypes. Bringing together previously unpublished archival materials, specially commissioned essays, new photography, and personal contributions from those who knew and worked with Pei, this book presents both celebrated and lesser-known aspects of the architect’s life and career while solidifying his position in architectural history and popular culture.

When Chinese-American architect I. M. Pei died in 2019, the New York writer and critic Paul Goldberger said it was ‘the end of an architectural era’. And yet Pei – one of the most prominent architects of the 20th century whose instantly recognisable buildings include the glass pyramid at the Louvre, Paris; the extension to the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; the Museum of Islamic Art, Doha, Qatar; and the Bank of China tower, Hong Kong – remains a remote figure in the architectural canon. By exploring the architect’s iconic and lesser-known projects through new photography, a series of specially commissioned essays and previously unpublished archival material, I. M. Pei: Life is Architecture uncovers revelations about power, politics, race and transcultural identity that resonate ever more strongly in today's complex, transglobal world.

I. M. Pei (1917–2019) was born in Ghougnzhou, raised in Shanghai and educated at Harvard. Unlike most architectural monographs, I. M. Pei: Life is Architecture goes beyond the usual building-by-building mix of building photographs and plans. Instead, the book is organized around six thematic chapters that deal with issues such as urban renewal, art and civic form, material and structural innovation, and power, politics and patronage. This book also explores transcultural identity – a significant issue that characterized Pei’s unique practice and that continues to resonate with the complexity and diversity that define architectural practice today. Through a narrative of hitherto unpublished archival material, new photography, specially commissioned essays, and brief commentaries by scholars, influential practitioners and Pei’s closest collaborators, this book presents the unknown Pei and tells the story of a master whose buildings dazzle the world.

A luxurious presentation of the works by prominent Mexican interior designer Sofía Aspe, known for creating unique spaces that balance eclectic character with contemporary eras.

This is the second monograph, and first with Rizzoli, in English dedicated to this prominent Mexican interior designer. Richly illustrated, it captures Aspe’s unique and eclectic style, where modern and contemporary unite in a harmonious mixed equilibrium of approaches and eras, generating spaces filled with timeless character.

The book’s visual narrative provides a comprehensive and intimate view of the designer and her work. Superbly photographed, Aspe’s projects are showcased one after another in a bold and innovative design, alternated with brief booklets providing an intimate perspective about the designer and her sources of inspiration. These booklets are further enriched with quotes from the designer about her work, her creative process, and the backstage thinking that leads to the final design outcome.

This exquisite book offers a glimpse into the process of Aspe’s world of interiors, from the international artists and local artisans she works with, to her country’s radiant colors and picturesque charm and her global reach. Reflective of Aspe’s exceptional creativity, this beautifully packaged book will feature a cloth cover with a printed textile. This collection of private interiors is a must-have for the curious, admirers of contemporary design, and art collectors.

Nine recent projects by renowned architect John Ike

A signature shingled house in a New York suburb, a renovated mid-century modern house in San Diego, a glass-and-brick house near Seattle, a beach house on the Atlantic coast, a reimagined historic building in Brooklin, Maine — the projects featured in this book vary widely in style, location, and materials, but all share a common sensibility. For John Ike, partner at Ike Baker Velten and formerly a founding partner of the award-winning firm Ike Kligerman Barkley, they are all vehicles illustrating the myriad ways architecture is created. His involvement in them ranges from mentor to principal architect and designer, but all are collaborations, and in each chapter he focuses attention on a person who was particularly instrumental in realizing the project, whether the interior designer, the landscape architect, the contractor, a craftsperson, or the client. With an authoritative text by seasoned architecture and design writer Mitchell Owens and specially commissioned photography, John Ike: 9 Houses, 9 Stories explores and celebrates the inextricable bond between the architect and those who implement his vision, a give-and-take that results in singularly designed residences.

About the Authors:

John Ike has been practicing architecture and design for more than four decades. He travels widely, and his aesthetic is influenced by the architectural traditions and regional inflections of the places he visits, particularly Italy, Scandinavia, Mexico, and northern Canada.

Stern, with whom he had studied for his Master of Architecture degree at the Graduate School of Architecture at Columbia University, he co-founded Ike Kligerman Barkley. During his thirty-three years with Ike Kligerman Barkley, the firm published two books, Ike Kligerman Barkley: Houses and The New Shingled House. It received numerous awards, including the AIA New York Chapter Award, the DDB Stars of Design Award, the ICAA Julia Morgan Award, and the ICAA Stanford White Award, and it was named to the AD100 and the Elle Decor A-List.

Le Corbusier had perhaps a more profound effect on visual culture than any other architect of his generation and his influence and development was inextricably connected to the rise of the twentieth century’s central form of popular media: photography.

Long before many in his field, he harnessed the power of the photographic image to define and disseminate his persona, his ideas and his buildings around the world.

Coinciding with the 125th anniversary of Le Corbusier’s birth and the 100th anniversary of the foundation of his first studio in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, this book – the first devoted solely to the relationship between Le Corbusier and photography – brings together contributions by leading scholars and experts on the man to explore his use of and engagement with photography, offering many fresh perspectives on his genius.

From the early pictures he took as a young travelling architect and snapshots of his surroundings, to his approach to the design of his influential publications, and large-scale photographic images and collages for architectural spaces, this collection of insights into Le Corbusier’s photographic eye reveals the scope of his innovation, as well as offering candid and often unexpected images of the man himself.

A spectacular visual biography of the life and work of Le Corbusier – one of the twentieth century's most influential architects

A decade after its first publication, the bestselling monograph Le Corbusier Le Grand is finally available in a new paperback edition. Documenting the life and work of one of the giants of twentieth-century architecture and design, the book presents an array of sketches, photographs, and correspondences, charting the vast and varied output of Le Corbusier, an artist who continues to fascinate those inside and outside the architectural world.
