ARCHITECTURE FOR ARCHITECTS
Ken Yeang Eco Skyscrapers
Dostępność: na zamówienie For many, eco skyscrapers are synonymous with Ken Yeang. In more than three decades of practice, Ken Yeang has almost single-handedly pioneered and developed this building genre. This book presents Ken Yeang's work on the design of ecologically responsive skyscrapers, and includes his essay on applying green-design principles to the skyscraper typology, as well as a preface by Steve Featherstone, an introduction by David Scott (Chairman of The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat) and a critique by Professor Ivor Richards.
Residential Style
Dostępność; na zamówienie This publication brings together the most talented architects and designers worldwide to showcase inspirational and contemporary trends in residential interiors. Covering living, leisure, dining, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and outdoor spaces, this full-colour book also features details that will excite architects, designers and all those who admire outstanding design. The mere mention of the word 'home' evokes feelings of warmth and belonging, suggesting places of refuge, retreat and personal space that are as much a personal statement of the resident's enjoyment of life, as testament to the skill of the designer.
Outdoor Living
Out of Town
Dostępność: na zamówienie This beautifully photographed book explores the lure of the countryside: the wide open spaces and starry skies, the lack of neighbours, noise and pollution, the ability to 'get away from it all'. Many people are choosing to persue their 'sea change' inland, and are creating some spectacular homes in well-hidden locations. However, the diversity and fragility of rural locations provide substantial challenges for the architect of today, primarily, how to insert a building into a pristine environment without affecting often delicate ecosystems.
New 100 Houses
Dostępność: na zamówienie "The New 100 Houses" is the fourth book in "Images'" popular "100 Best Houses" series. "Images" has again selected houses that represent the very best in international residential architecture. The houses featured represent everything from the modern to the classical. This is a book that can be browsed through time and again, with each viewing guaranteed to inspire, delight and surprise. Outstanding colour photography captures interior design, layout and furnishings, while exterior photographs meld the house design with its environment.
Masters of Light
Houses of God
Dostępność: na zamówienie If this is architecture for the gods, the gods must be groaning. Not to say that this big, handsome paperback look at more than 40 recent faith-centered architectural projects around the U.S.--complete with full-color photographs, plans, and excellent annotations--doesn't make it amply and diversely clear that there has been a boom in America in recent years in the building of churches, synagogues, mosques, and nondenominational chapels.

After many were demolished or 'modernised' beyond recognition in the post-war period, terrace houses were rediscovered in the 1980s, as people moved back to the inner city. Period features were tenderly replaced but many of the buildings remained as they had originally been: small, dark and impractical for family living in the 21st century.
