Architecture Now! Eat Shop...
Hot Spots Some of the most spectacular architectural designs of the moment have to do with our most basic needs: eating, drinking, and shopping. Restaurants, bars, and boutiques are the substance of this new book that puts an emphasis—like all volumes of the Architecture Now!-series—on the very latest and best creations. This is where you will find the likes of David Chipperfield and Peter Marino in the same book, where Jean Nouvel and BIG star Bjarke Ingels meet. But it is also the place to discover new talents like the designer of London’s Late Night Chameleon Café, Gary Card, to see how the director David Lynch imagined the subterranean Paris nightclub Silencio, or what designer Tom Dixon conjured up for the Tazmania Ballroom in Hong Kong.

Sztuka i architektura...
Publikacja Sztuka i architektura islamu 1250-1800 autorstwa Sheili Blair jest bogato ilustrowana i znakomicie udokumentowana publikacja omawia architekturę, sztukę książki i rzemiosło artystyczne w poszczególnych regionach świata islamu od Andaluzji i Maroka, przez Afrykę Północną, Arabię, Bliski Wschód, Turcję, Irak, Iran, kraje Azji Środkowej, po Indie Północne, od połowy XIII wieku do początków wieku XIX.
Są to stulecia, w czasie których zanikała dominacja muzułmańskiej sztuki arabskiej, rozkwitała natomiast muzułmańska sztuka perska i turecka. Uwidaczniało się to w odmiennościach stylowych i zróżnicowaniach ikonograficznych, jednak z zachowaniem tradycyjnych kanonów estetycznych.

Stadium Design
In ancient Greece, the term stadium was defined as a footrace over a distance 192 m. This distance measurement was then later used as a description for the competition facility. Nowadays a stadium is considered a total competitive sporting complex with field, oval-shaping running track, shot put, javelin and broad jump facilities as well as viewer seats and press boxes. Nowadays, stadia are not only simply sporting sites, but also act as tourist attractions, distinguishing features and gathering place for clubs.
10 PRINCIPLES OF GOOD...
Great buildings, like great art, contain something that is impossible to define or pin down. But that greatness, in almost all cases, overlays the principles set out in this book. While one cannot guarantee that a building will be great, if all the principles are followed, you will avoid the pitfalls to which too many are subject. This new title in Vivays Publishing's 10 Principles series provides clear explanations of each tenet along with useful illustrations to help the reader visualise what is being discussed. The author assumes no background on the subject, but an interest in learning more about what goes into making a building work.

SPACE BETWEEN PEOPLE
This book shows how the virtual has completely changed the physical world around us. If architecture is the construction of space between people, what happens when that space exists in a virtual world? That question is the starting point for this collection of revolutionary projects by a new generation of designers. The book begins by examining the important issues that have emerged as technology reshapes our idea of place and proceeds to present the four winning projects from the first architecture competition held within the explosively popular Internet community known as Second Life.
