WOOD HOUSES
URBAN LANDSCAPE
Urban design involves the arrangement, appearance and functionality of towns and cities, with a particular focus on public spaces such as parks, squares and gardens as well as infrastructure and privately owned spaces. The design of these public spaces has become increasingly important to the long-term development and well-being of communities, and can provide towns and cities with a unique identity.
RENOVATING FOR LIVING
Sometimes restoring a building is more complicated than constructing a new one, not simply because of the historical value of the part which is to be preserved, but also bearing in mind the state of the structure is often not known before the project gets underway. This makes these commissions a real challenge as the architect must put into practice very different strategies to those deployed on a new-build, often resulting in a very satisfying experience.This book presents 28 case studies of sensitive conversions, including work from Enric Miralles, Jo Crepain and Greg Gong.
INTERIOR DESIGN. INSPIRATIONS
FAITH SPIRITUAL ARCHITECTURE
The role that religion has played in the development of art and architecture is unquestionable. The religious factor is as old as humanity itself and throughout history constructions have been erected with the aim of extolling the gods. Everyone has heard of examples such as the Egyptian or Aztec pyramids, the Christian cathedrals or mosques like the famous Blue Mosque. These are all examples of sacred buildings which also represent an undeniable artistic and architectural value. The construction of religious buildings seems to have been forgotten by the masses and replaced by other more modern and popular architectural typologies, such as public or corporate architecture.
INTERIORS ARCHITECTURE
Integrating homes into their surroundings and creating attractive interior spaces which satisfy the needs of their owners are the main aims that today's interior designs seek to achieve. With new materials, ecological concerns and expanding conceptions of what 'home' can mean the possibilities are almost infinite. This volume presents some of the most outstanding projects in recent years, both traditional spaces (with modern solutions) and new ideas of home. 34 striking examples of houses and apartments have been brought together allowing readers to appreciate the magnificent combinations of decorative styles and imaginative solutions employed by architects and designers.
