You’ll be amazed what wood can do As soon as the first men bravely moved out of their protective caves, they surely built protective structures out of wood. The ultimate renewable resource for architecture is thus the oldest, but also the most modern of materials. Thanks to computer-driven design and manufacturing techniques, wood can be cut and carved in the most astonishing new ways.
Country houses have always been the preferred locations for withdrawing, deceleration, and contemplation. This trend continues unbroken today, especially as the metropolitan areas expand and more and more city dwellers are escaping to the countryside. In addition to the conversion of existing buildings numerous new residences are being built.

Masterpieces: Country House Architecture + Design presents projects from across the world which answers today’s aesthetic, functional and ecological demands, while at the same time underscoring the uniqueness of the location and the surrounding landscape.
The approach of Informing Architecture by Materiality opens the way to an innovative use of materials in the design professions. Taking material qualities and properties such as texture, elasticity, transparency and fluidity as a point of departure, the concept described and employed here transcends the conventional definitions of building materials. Instead, the focus is on a multitude of material operations, like folding and bending, carving and cutting, weaving and knitting, mirroring and screening. The featured design strategies and methods address established and "new"; materials alike. They are applied both to the scale of the detail and the entire building.
Dostępność: na zamówienie Od czasów użycia betonu w prefabrykatach w latach 60 i 70 XX wieku, materiał ten rozwinął się w sposób niesamowity, zwłaszcza w ciągu ostatnich lat, gdy jego użycie stało się często bardziej estetyczne, a niżej tylko konstrukcyjno-funkcjonalne. Ekstremalnie lekkie i cienkie rodzaje betonu takie jak nowoczesny Ductal oraz transparentne elementy betonowe pozwalają na projektowanie interesujących i spektakularnych budowli. Używają ich najbardziej znani architekci świata - Tod Williams & Billie Tsien, Herzog & de Meuron, Zaha Hadid oraz Steven Holl. W książce tej znajduje się 8 artykułów i esejów tak znanych autorów jak Antoine Picon, Adrian Forty, Guy Nordenson, Franz Ulm, i wielu innych.
Dostępność: na zamówienie Gospodarka zasobami, cięcie kosztów, konserwacja środowiskowa oraz energia odnawialna - takie elementy "integralnego planowanie" to kompleksowe wyzwanie wymagające interakcji wielu dyscyplin w celu wybudowania nowoczesnego budynku z optymalnym efektem, oszczędnością materiału oraz niskimi kosztami. Aktywne czynniki takie jak technologie konstrukcyjne, skorupy i elewacje budowli, ustawienie pomieszczeń i kreacja przestrzeni zewnętrznej powinny redukować potrzebę użycia technologii wewnętrznych z jednoczesnym wykorzystaniem do maksimum wielu elementów biernych budynku.
Dostępność: na zamówienie Aluminium is an extremely versatile material, its light weight and its resistance to corrosion make it a particularly suitable material for some specific building requirements. Even in the post-war years, aluminium was already playing an innovative role as can be seen in the work of the French engineer, Jean Prouve. For today's sophisticated architecture, aluminium is highly rated with its clear aesthetical qualities and great strength.
Dostępność: na zamówienie There's not a great deal of difference between living and working for those of us who one day decide to make a living by creating the world, for those of us who perceive architecture as something more than just work and the negative aspect associated with this word, but rather like a window through which to see the world. And a means of transforming this world.. And what's more this book is divided into two large, almost Heideggerian sections, “to build, to live, to think”, simply because this is one of the many ways of doing so (enough to recall the magnificent and diverse animal classification system by Borges and featured in some of his books).
