"Green" architecture is not only beautiful but imperative, making this volume indispensable for anyone interested in sustainable design.

This book is the most thorough overview to be published on environmentally sound building and planning practices and includes project descriptions, photographs, and detailed drawings that demonstrate that sustainability is not just good for the planet, but also offers new opportunities for creativity and innovation.

Beginning with a survey of evolving strategies to step more lightly on the earth, like "graywater" recovery, green roofs, contextual design, and human-scale architecture, the book features essays by such noted experts as Andres Duany, Victor Deupi, Bruce King, Stephen A. Mouzon, and Norman Crowe.

As people witness the effects of climate change causing storms of greater frequency and severity, stormwater management in green streetscape design provides an added safeguard that can help mitigate flash flooding during these events.

Green street design helps manage stormwater runoff to minimize the amount of pollutants that reach the waterways during rainstorms. It also increases the safety and walkability of streets and beautify city. This book provides a toolkit and reference of design projects for city agencies, contractors, landscape designers to help achieve their goals. Offering a detailed green streetscape design guideline with accompanying stormwater management methods, the book is augmented with selected design cases, presented with rich narratives, detailed plans and drawings, and beautiful hi-resolution photography.

This book is an informative guide for practitioners to create an attractive, efficient and sustainable urban streetscape while managing polluted stormwater and achieving a cleaner environment.

Various prestigious architects present their most recent creations for apartment buildings, from the most innovative and avant-garde proposals, to those that attempt to create spaces whose personalities adapt to their contents. Conventional vertical dwellings, buildings for specifi c groups and residential complexes share a common spirit: rigour, imagination and respect for both the persons who will occupy them and the enviroment in which they are located. The works in this book, provide stimulating answers, ingenious solutions, unexpected points of view and proposals that will without doubt infl uence the conception of residential architecture.

In the post-war decades, Hong Kong architects, many of them having migrated from China or studied overseas, embraced modern principles when forced to face the problems of housing shortage, mass construction and limited budgets in the British colony. Although economic efficiencies often prevailed over design, their buildings were rooted in their time and place, reflecting the local climate, social values, materials, technique and use in an often unique and pragmatic fashion.

With more than 300 buildings and ensembles documented, Hong Kong Modern: Architecture of the 1950s-1970s gives an unprecedented comprehensive overview of the architecture of that transformative period and is unique in combining photography, carefully researched background information and academic essays. The book aims to serve as a visual record and create awareness of the modernist buildings of Hong Kong, and to contribute to a better understanding and discussion of their architectural merit and social, cultural, and historic values.

About the Author:

Walter Koditek is a German urban planner, author and photographer based in Hong Kong. After graduating at Technical University Berlin, Walter’s first professional life had him practicing for almost two decades at various planning/design consultancies and teaching at university. In 2006, he relocated to Asia, where he worked as an urban planning expert in Cambodia and Vietnam. He moved on to Hong Kong in 2014, using the city as a base for his consultant work, and documenting its unique architectural landscape with his camera whenever possible. Walter has always been a strong advocate of cultural heritage conservation. He published the photo book Battambang Heritage (2018, Apsara Books, Hong Kong) and co-authored the Architectural Guide Phnom Penh (2020, DOM publishers, Berlin), before focusing on the modernist architectural legacy of Hong Kong.

Projects in this book not only present impactive forms by application of eco-technology, structural distortion and twisting, but also change our mind for traditional architectural forms, which stimulate designers to reconsider new housing architecture forms.

46 international projects in this book all provide specific information, such as locations, areas, design concepts, renderings, floor plans, sections and models, showing the latest design trend of international housing architecture.

The most highly publicized building renewal process in the world today-and the most significant survey of competing architecture designs since the international design competition for the Chicago Tribune Tower in 1922-is for the reconstruction of the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan. It has inspired a multitude of designs and has engaged architects on a global scale in the re-imagining of the vacant 16-acre site.

Published in conjunction with Architectural Record, the most important architecture journal in the United States, Imagining Ground Zero documents not only the various competitions sponsored by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation but also the informal proposals sponsored by the New York Times, New York Magazine, and the exhibition at Max Protetch Gallery, as well as a selection from thousands of schemes submitted independently for the World Trade Center site and Memorial.

Among the key figures in contemporary architecture whose work is featured here are Coop Himmelblau, Peter Eisenman, Norman Foster, Charles Gwathmey, Zaha Hadid, Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates, Steven Holl, Rem Koolhaas, Greg Lynn, Richard Meier, Eric Owen Moss, David Rockwell, Lindy Roy, Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos, Rafael Viñoly, and many others. With its exhaustive approach to these myriad voices in the discourse surrounding the World Trade Center site, Imagining Ground Zero is destined to become the canonical reference for this unprecedented event in world architecture.

Colour does not have to mean gaudy – the representative book demonstrates the different functions of colour in an architectural design. It supports the creation of atmosphere and space, provides orientation aid or contributes along with lighting effects to a special night ambience. The proven expert Dirk Meyhöfer, who has chosen about 70 projects from the last five years, provides background information, including the role of colour since the days of the Bauhaus.

This book selects more than 6000 pictures about landscape details of property landscape, park, wet land and tourism area. Most of the pictures are taken by our photographers like Xiao Kaixiong, who initiates a special trip to Xi’an in China and regions in Japan and America. These pictures are latest and original as well. According to modern landscape elements, all the pictures are categorized into 13 categories which are landscape planning, landscape early expansion figure, plaza, yard, waterscape, greening, road, mat formation, landscape ornament, architectural ornament, installation landscape and landscape lighting. In every category, there are secondary, third or even fourth subdivisions, making the categorization as detailed as possible and contain as much information as it can. Compared with other books on landscape details, this book simultaneously contains three categories, namely drawing of landscape planning, landscape early expansion figure and picture of landscape aerial view. This is also a highlight of this book.

Islands - real, artificial, and metaphoric - have always fascinated people. Buildings near, or even in water transcend boundaries and merge concrete, familiar structures with flowing visions to create symphonies of water, light and stone. Examples of the mastery of this interplay of elements are provided by Abu Dhabi's Saadiyat museum island, artificial city suburbs such as Crystal Island in Moscow, and even entire new cities such as Island City in Japan. Apart from such dynamic urban centres, Dubai's luxury islands or the world's most expensive hotel, the Burj al Arab, are also architectural highlights. Visions of the future by renowned architects such as Jean Nouvel, Frank O. Gehry, Zaha Hadid, and Foster & Partners are also presented. This illustrated work is a fascinating journey through the island worlds of today, tomorrow, and the day after.

Inseln – tatsächliche, künstliche und metaphorische – faszinieren die Menschen seit jeher. Gebäude am oder gar im Wasser überschreiten Grenzen und verschmelzen feste gewohnte Strukturen mit fließenden Visionen zu Sinfonien aus Wasser, Licht und Stein. Dieses Spiel der Elemente beherrschen beispielsweise Mur Island in Graz, Abu Dhabis Museumsinsel Saadjat Island, künstliche Stadteile wie Crystal Lake in Moskau oder komplett neue urbane Entwicklungen wie Dubais Luxusinseln meisterhaft. Neben solchen spektakulären Zentren bilden das Oslo Opera House oder das teuerste Hotel der Welt, das Burj el-Arab, architektonische Glanzpunkte. Vorgestellt werden auch die Zukunftsvisionen renommierter Architekten wie Herzog & de Meuron, Waterstudio.NL, Zaha Hadid und Foster + Partners. Dieser Bildband ist ein faszinierender Streifzug durch die Inselwelten von heute, morgen und übermorgen.

Kengo Kuma's Teahouse is a masterly reinterpretation of a classical Japanese building type. Delivered in August 2007 for the Park of the Frankfurt Museum of Applied Arts (a Richard Meier Building), Kuma s innovative structure in flexible, semi-transparent, breathing Tenara-Membrane - inflated by means of a pneumatic system to a blossom-like form - houses in the interior the classical elements for Japanese tea ceremony. Integrated LED technology allows the use of the teahouse at night; the interior can be heated by way of the membrane.

The monograph, including an original text by Kengo Kuma himself, gives in-depth documentation of this lyrical temporary structure – an outstanding example of ephemeral architecture, combining poetry and technology - with many unpublished sketches, technical plans and with splendid colour photographs.

Durch ein Kompressorsystem aktiviert, erwächst das Teehaus wie eine Blüte aus dem semitransparenten High Tech-Material GORE-Tenara, im Inneren finden Tatami-Matten, ein elektrisch beheizbarer Herd für den Wasserkessel, eine Tokonoma Nische und ein Vorbereitungsraum Platz. Die doppelwandige Hülle mit inneren Koppelseilen erzeugt eine golfballähnliche Membrantextur und macht zudem eine Luftschleuse überflüssig. Eine integrierte LED-Technik lässt das Teehaus im Dunklen sanft, fast mythisch, erstrahlen.

Dieses jüngste Projekt Kumas ist ein Symbol für die traditionsbewusste Modernität des heutigen Japans und seiner Architektur, aber auch ein richtungsweisendes Beispiel temporären und mobilen Bauens, das nur Dank einer ungewöhnlich dichten internationalen Kooperation zwischen Architekten, Ingenieuren und Unternehmen realisiert werden konnte. Das vorliegende Buch entfaltet die technologischen, kulturhistorischen und ästhetischen Aspekte dieser Neuinterpration des japanischen Teehauses.
