All of the libraries in the world – small or large, public or private – serve the same purpose: to preserve, cherish, or show off the riches of human knowledge.

Now, for the first time, an internationally renowned photographer takes the reader on a journey to more than twenty of the most historical of these magical places, all architectural treasures. From the dramatic, baroque Library of the Institut de France in Paris, to the splendid Vatican Library in the Vatican City; from the majestic Royal Library at El Escorial, Spain, to the famed New York Public Library, a Beaux-Arts masterpiece – here are some of the most exquisite libraries of the Western world.

Included are national, scholarly and religious libraries from twelve countries, which have in common a distinguished heritage and an architectural setting that emphasizes art and culture. The accompanying text traces the history of libraries to the present day, and describes how they came to serve famous personalities and men of letters. Libraries must be counted as among civilization’s crowning achievements; this elegant book is a fitting tribute to that accomplishment.

The retro-futuristic epoch is one of the most visually spectacular in architecture’s history.

The utopian buildings of the 1960s and 1970s never go out of style. This book compiles radical ideas, rediscovered photos, and visionary structures.

Driven by idealistic visions, utopian architecture aimed to overcome social divisions and political strife, to put us in touch with nature, and to enable us to live humane, healthy lives. For half a century, it was both hope and inspiration.

The Tale of Tomorrow surveys this diverse twentieth-century phenomenon, featuring renowned works like The House of the Century or the TWA terminal, as well as lesser-known masterpieces, and profiling major thinkers such as Oscar Niemeyer, Le Corbusier, and Eero Saarinen. By digging through archives, corresponding with descendants of departed architects, and restoring photographs, the collection of utopian approaches herein maintains a visual power and infectious optimism.

Looking at past dreams, The Tale of Tomorrow is a call to reclaim our future.

Since the last century, most of the public space has been designed for and around the automobile. Gradually, a mostly undifferentiated infrastructure developed into landmark architecture, with buildings and constructions of all kinds that interpret and mark the contemporary's ”automobile way of life”. Be it parking garages, gas stations, wash-cafés, bridges or motor hotels: the subject has a surprising lot of designs to offer. Paolo Tumminelli’s ”Traffic design” shows recent interesting projects from the whole world.

This publication examines pictorially the way architects have designed buildings to facilitate the movement of people and cargo around the globe.

Stations play a vital role for passengers and non-travelling users which they are located. They serve the growing needs of an increasingly mobile population and are used by a wide range of users. Stations are also primarily a means of access to the national rail network, in turn acting as a gateway to or from other destinations. They have become increasingly important as destinations in their own right – as places to shop, work, or simply to meet family and friends. Most stations also function as interchange hubs, providing connections between different transport modes.

With millions of journeys made by urban rail each day, designers should recognize the importance of its customers and the need to put passengers first. To ensure that the expectations of its customers are met in full, the design guide in this book places passengers at the forefront of the design process, acknowledging that all elements of station design should be considered to help meet their needs. This book also provides an overview of what designer considers to be important in the planning and design of metro stations and light rail stations. It will be relevant to new or enhancement projects as well as to major renewals or maintenance projects.

This book is intended to support sponsors and project designers throughout the design and development process. It is hoped that all parties involved in station design and operations will find its approach useful and consistent with their own design approach or standards.

This monograph discusses the role that ruins play in urban centers in terms of their meaning, testimony, and value, and the opportunities they provide. After an outline of historical and contemporary of approaches, with a special analysis of British and Italian approaches, Elisa Pilia puts forward a methodology for the inves­tigation of the strategic values of such ar­tifacts, and ideas for their potential con­tribution to a sustainable requalification of historic urban cores. The protocol is tested on the historical center of Cagliari, a mid­sized port city on the south­ern coast of the island of Sardinia, Italy, where the remains left by aerial bombardment during the Second World War are still a dramatic part of the controversial European debate on how to reuse ruins.

В монографии анализируется роль руин в современных городах с точки зрения их смыслового наполнения, признания историческим свидетельством и ценностью, а также возможностей, которые они в себе хранят. Автор книги Элиза Пилиа предлагает читателям обзор исторических и современных подходов к исследованию темы городских руин, особенно выделяя британский и итальянский подходы, а затем выдвигает методологию исследования объектов, имеющих стратегическое значение и предлагает идеи касательно использования их потенциала для бережного преобразования исторических районов городов. Эти предложения воплощаются в жизнь в историческом центре Кальяри, портового города на южном побережье острова Сардиния (Италия), где разрушенные здания, оставленные бомбардировками времен Второй мировой войны, по-прежнему являются предметом споров о том, как сегодня следует обходиться с руинами. 

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.

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.
