YES IS MORE is the first monograph of its kind devoted exclusively to the trailblazing practice of BIG, a Copenhagenbased group of architects, designers and thinkers operating within the fields of architecture, urbanism, research and development. Unlike a classic architectural monograph, this book is more of a manifesto of popular culture, in which BIG s methods, means, processes and approach to the concept of architecture are revealed as being as unconventional, unexpected and result-producing as the world in which it exists, continually reaffirming its mission with a resounding YES.
The products of a highly-developed architectural style even today bear witness to the greatness of Arabic culture To the western eye, cities such as Jerusalem, Mecca, Baghdad or Cairo can seem utterly alien. It is not only the way of life that is unfamiliar, it is also the astoundingly varied architecture.
An aesthetic founded on the sheer thrill of pushing to the limits of technical and economic viability "Modern architecture is not a new branch of an old tree - it is an altogether new shoot rising beside the old roots." .

UN Studio, które założyli holenderscy architekci, Ben van Berkel i Caroline Bos, tworzy przestrzenie zaskakujące swą innowacyjnością. Jednak nie przekształca ono form zapożyczonych z modernizmu, lecz czerpie z bogactwa wyobraźni epoki cyfrowej. Wykorzystywane przez UN Studio, najnowsze technologie komputerowe pozwalają mu zerwać z hierachizacją oraz linearnym cyklem procesu projektowania. Wykreowana przez to biuro architektura to wynik przyjętej strategii projektowania, polegającej na stałych, powtarzających się powrotach do wybranych motywów przewodnich zw. "design models."
Książka wydawnictwa TASCHEN o niezwykłym, współczesnym odrodzeniu ponowanie docenionego stylu Tiki. Fenomenowi temu przygląda się największy jego znawca, Sven A. Kirsten. Jak pokazuje on w swej barwnej, wnikliwej, z temperamentem napisanej publikacji, styl Tiki, niemal całkowicie wyparty ze świadomości Amerykanów, jako unikalne zjawisko na mapie kultury masowej zaistniał dopiero w ostatnich latach.
Culled and assembled by Romeyn Beck Hough between 1888 and 1913 in what still remains a stunning and unparalleled achievement, American Woods —originally published in 14 volumes, with actual specimens mounted on card stock—is a work of breathtaking beauty that has set the standard for the study of trees and wood. TASCHEN`s Wood Book reproduces, in painstaking facsimile, all of the specimen pages from the original volumes; for this purpose we have obtained the use of an extremely rare original set of volumes in very good condition, with minimal damage to the wood cuts.
Architect Harry Seidler has spent more than 50 years traveling the globe, extensively photographing the peak achievements in architecture from 3000 B.C. to the present day. Thanks to sound advice given to him early on by his photographer brother Marcell ("Only use Leica cameras and Kodachrome film, which is archival"), Seidler's hobby quickly developed into a passion and, finally, an impressive archive of world architecture.
Terraces and balconies have always been essential architectural features - they are effectively the continuation of a dwelling outdoors. Terraces are mostly related directly to the landscape surrounding a building. They can frame a view - for instance, through canopies or side walls - they can imitate particular landscape elements on their own more human scale, or they can enable the landscape to be perceived and experienced in a different way.
Here today, gone tomorrow Architecture on the move As economic problems make some shy away from grandiose, long-lasting buildings, a wave of new temporary buildings and architectural is sweeping over the planet.

Another fascinating area that is covered here is exhibition and fair design, a veritable treasure trove of exciting designs that come and go in the space of a week or less, to show fashion, jewelry or design.
