Kim Young-Sub + Kunchook-Moonhwa Architect Associates has been involved in the construction of some of the most significant religious centres in Korea. The firm's work is deeply rooted in a fundamental spirituality, which is also found in Korean culture. Traditional Korean design is about subtle curves rather than straight lines, roofs that reach to the sky rather than remaining flat, and finishes of thick curved pine. These influences are clear in Kim Young-Sub's buildings as is his remarkable attitude towards space, from which he creates churches with large areas, voids, which are about symbolism and landscape. In addition to his religious buildings, a selection of Kim Young-Sub's residential, educational, welfare and commercial buildings is also featured in this superbly illustrated publication.

Victoria Newhouse, noted author and architectural historian, addresses the aesthetics and acoustics in concert halls and opera houses of the past, present, and future in this stunning companion to the highly regarded Towards a New Museum. Site and Sound explores the daunting, perennial question: Does the music serve the space, or the other way around?

Heavily illustrated throughout - with historic images, spectular color photographs, detailed drawings - this volume is an informed and enjoyable presentation of a building type that is at the heart of cities small and large.

Newhouse starts with a survey of venues from ancient Greek and Roman times and progresses to contemporary works around the world. She singles out Lincoln Center in particular for its long history and its transitions and remodelings over the years. Two major chapters cover the present: one focuses on recent work in the West, including the National Opera House of Norway in Oslo by Snøhetta (2008), the Casa da Música in Porto, Portugal, by Rem Koolhaas (2005), and many more; the second examines the boom in concert halls in China. A final chapter looks at projects that are currently planned and the future of an architecture for music.

James Wines is a larger-than-life character whose work cuts a swathe through modern architecture. Since 1970, when he founded SITE, the highly regarded architecture and environmental arts organisation based in New York, he and his practice have led the way in progressing a more socially and environmentally responsive architecture.

Photographer Christopher Herwig has covered more than 30,000 km by car, bike, bus and taxi in 13 former Soviet countries discovering and documenting these unexpected treasures of modern art.

From the shores of the Black Sea to the endless Kazakh steppe, these bus stops show the range of public art from the Soviet era and give a rare glimpse into the creative minds of the time. The book represents the most comprehensive and diverse collection of Soviet bus stop design ever assembled from: Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Ukraine, Moldova, Armenia, Abkhazia, Georgia, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

With a foreword by writer, critic and television presenter Jonathan Meades.

After the popular and critical success of his first book, Christopher Herwig has returned to the former Soviet Union to hunt for more Soviet Bus Stops. In this second volume, as well as discovering unexpected examples in the remotest areas of Georgia and Ukraine, Herwig turns his camera to Russia itself. Following exhaustive research, he drove 15,000 km from coast to coast across the largest country in the world, in pursuit of new variations of this singular architectural form.

A foreword by renowned architecture and culture critic Owen Hatherley, reveals new information on the origins of the Soviet bus stop. Examining the government policy that allowed these ‘small architectural forms’ to flourish, he explains how they reflected Soviet values, and how ultimately they remained – despite their incredible individuality – far-flung outposts of Soviet ideology.

The consideration for designer of modern health care facilities is not only to provide a clean and efficient health care environment. Patients’ health, safety, emotions are not only depend on staff ’s professional skill, and the environment also has healing benefits, which won more recognition. Specialized hospital focuses on one medical discipline, its space design thus must carefully consider specialized medical and procedure model and patients’ special requirements. Children’s hospital (pediatrics/adolescent), women’s hospital (obstetrics and gynecology),
cancer centre (cancer and radiotherapy and chemotherapy) and mental health hospital included in this book are “artworks” with healing function, which created by architects, interior designers, ar tists and health care staff together.

Двадцать первый номер архитектурного журнала speech: посвящен теме общественных центров – едва ли не самой социально значимой и одновременно самой многообразной типологии современной архитектуры. В центре нашего внимания – пространства и здания, предназначенные для публичных собраний, общения и совместного времяпрепровождения: от крохотных сельских клубов до масштабных комплексов общегородского значения, в которых завидное разнообразие функций сочетается с яркой иконической архитектурой.

Важно и то, что помимо вновь построенных зданий мы подробно анализируем объекты, ставшие общественными центрами на далеко не первом витке своего существования, ведь именно эта функция как нельзя лучше подходит для возрождения как бывших промышленных построек, так и утративших свое религиозное значение культовых сооружений. В эпоху тотальной компьютеризации, когда виртуальное общение начинает вытеснять реальное, наличие, разнообразие и доступность общественных центров приобретают особое значение – во многом именно эти здания и выступают гарантами созидательного функционирования сообществ.

In ancient Greece, the term stadium was defined as a footrace over a distance 192 m. This distance measurement was then later used as a description for the competition facility. Nowadays a stadium is considered a total competitive sporting complex with field, oval-shaping running track, shot put, javelin and broad jump facilities as well as viewer seats and press boxes. Nowadays, stadia are not only simply sporting sites, but also act as tourist attractions, distinguishing features and gathering place for clubs. This tendency has led to increased value being placed upon architecture in stadium design. Additional uses for covered stadia may include stores, offices, hotels and restaurants. In the following, various solutions of modern stadia design are presented. In so doing, examples of various use types and sizes will be addressed.

32 projects are introduced, they are catching the eyes because of an extraordinary architecture. As well the “inner life” with VIP lounges will be shown. Included are all 12 stadiums which are scene of the soccer world championship 2006. Plans and sketches will be enclosed to every project.

Railway stations have long held a special place in the public’s affection. The lure of the great terminus has been especially strong, the breathtaking grandeur of its architecture fused with a promise of adventure and escape. This book is a celebration of the railway station’s life and architecture. It examines the history of these fascinating structures, the great events – both fictional and real – that have occurred there, and how they have formed an integral part of the life of the cities they serve. Steven Parissien discusses the many architectural styles and developments that stations have witnessed over the past 150 years – from the early provincial and colonial railways, the Victorian Gothic of London’s St Pancras and the Beaux-Arts splendour of Grand Central Station in New York, to the modern structural feats of Nicholas Grimshaw’s Waterloo International Terminal and Santiago Calatrava’s Lyon Satolas. Archive pictures, railway ephemera and new photography are combined to create a fascinating visual record for all those interested in trains, railway stations and travel.

Stone's richness of texture, colour and finish cannot be found in other materials; it is sensuous to the touch, striking tot he eye and pleasing to the soul. Stone is not a vanishing resource - in fact the opposite is true. However, making architecture with this material often requires putting aside accepted strictures and finding a means to work with, and understand, its physical qualities. The book features Holzman's highly acclaimed, award-winning projects, such as the Louis Stokes Wing of the Cleveland Public Library, the West Wing of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and the WCCO-TV Comunications Center in Minneapolis.
