Eco Living
Combining sustainability with trend-setting design is one of the great challenges of contemporary architecture. Resource sparing living space is one of the most important themes. In addition to the increased consciousness of the interactions between the human being, his built environment and eco system, the desire to leave behind an intact environment worth living in for the next generation and to fashion a healthy environment for oneself are also factors gaining in economic significance.

Home! Best of Living Design
For romantic dinners, family meetings or business lunches, restaurants have always functioned as venues of social interaction. Their interior designs are as varied as the types of food served and the culinary delights are aided and abetted by the choice of furniture, materials, floor plans and colors. While some designers strive to produce eccentric and outlandish effects, others distinguish themselves by a minimalist reduction to the essential or a reinterpretation of traditional contexts and classical decor.
ATLAS OF WORLD ARCHITECTURE
Fire, Crime & Accident:...
Architecture for rescue services has come a long way in the past decade. Buildings for the police, fire brigades and ambulance stations have lost their often primitive and shed-like appearance and have begun to strive for recognition as an equitable architectural typology since Zaha Hadid s trailblazing Vitra fire station in Weil am Rhein. This certainly is a challenge because there are numerous conditions to be taken into account in terms of functionality and especially security. The examples chosen for this title show an amazing diversity of emergency architecture.
Playground Design
Auf Spielplatzen konnen Kinder rutschen, wippen, schaukeln, klettern, skaten und vieles mehr, was die motorischen Fahigkeiten maßgeblich fordert. Das Sozialverhalten, das Kinder dort entwickeln, pragt Fahigkeiten, die bis in das Erwachsenenalter wirk- sam sind. Studien belegen, dass Spielplatze zu den wichtigsten Orten fur junge Menschen außerhalb des ha¿uslichen und schulischen Bereiches gehoren.Dieser Titel widmet sich den internationalen "Kidscapes" von heute und prasentiert die inno- vativsten Konzepte und aktuellen Trends dieser anspruchsvollen Gestaltungsaufgabe.
Airport Architecture
Airports today are much more than gateways to cities, countries or continents. They have developed into city-like complexes and multifunctional systems, which while being set up to serve the needs of smoothly running air traffic, at the same time have taken on all the functions of a normal community: sleeping, shopping, work and leisure time and all that increasingly with 24-7 access. After an era of purely functional architecture, the nodal points of air traffic have become one of the most prominent architectural tasks of the present. Drawing on 60 examples, this volume shows the exciting multiplicity of contemporary airport construction and design.
Facades: Design,...
Die Fassade ist die "Haut" eines Geba¿udes. Sie bil- det die Grenze zwischen Innen und Außen, Form und Funktion, zwischen Nutzer und Passanten. Neben funktionalen, konstruktiven, gestalterischen und stadt- ra¿umlichen Aspekten spielen heute Nachhaltigkeits- Parameter eine immer wichtigere Rolle.
Masters & Their Pieces
What makes a classic piece of furniture? Which living design is timelessly popular and always contemporary – and why? Aesthetic quality as a function of clarity of design, rigorous color and styling are just as important as the durability of high quality materials and perfect workmanship. And of course, if not more important, is the functionality of this furniture that is right from every standpoint.
Masterpieces: Villa...
Die Villa steht für repräsentative Wohnkultur und gehobenen Lebensstil. Sie ist jedoch mehr als ein großzügiges Wohnhaus mit Grundstück in der Stadt: Die Villa bietet ihren Bewohnern einen "urbanen Landsitz", und vereint das Beste aus Stadt- und Landleben: Repräsentative Architektur und hochwertige Materialien, im Grünen gelegen und doch nah an den urbanen Attraktionen. Es lebt sich ruhig und zurückgezogen, aber dennoch in direkter Verbindung zur Stadt. Für Architekten bietet die Planung oder der Umbau einer Villa die spannende Herausforderung, eine klassische Bauaufgabe neu und zeitgemäß zu interpretieren.
