Tropical Gardens
The embodiment of relaxation and well-being, tropical gardens are man-made paradises on earth. They offer breathtaking beauty and ample opportunity to let one`s spirit flow while enjoying with all senses a full range of experiences – be it the rustle of palm trees, the twitter of hummingbirds, a cornucopia of lush colors, or the exotic scent of vanilla, cinnamon and orchids. All combine to put body, spirit, and soul into peace and harmony. This volume presents exhilarating landscapes from all tropical regions of the world, displaying thrillingly ingenious arrangements of plants and trees.
Green Architecture Now! Vol. 2
Green architecture used to be on the fringes, but it has gone mainstream and this new volume shows how, why, and where. This is not a technical handbook, but rather a guided tour from one end of the globe to another where sustainability has become both chic and indispensible. Solar panels and double glazing are taking a dent out of the high cost of energy. As always in the Architecture Now books, you can discover the latest realizations of established stars like Peter Zumthor and Bernard Tschumi, but also catch up on the rising new generation of architects, from Korea to Vietnam, from Los Angeles to Berlin.

Islands - Contemporary...
Islands - real, artificial, and metaphoric - have always fascinated people. Buildings near, or even in water transcend boundaries and merge concrete, familiar structures with flowing visions to create symphonies of water, light and stone. Examples of the mastery of this interplay of elements are provided by Abu Dhabi's Saadiyat museum island, artificial city suburbs such as Crystal Island in Moscow, and even entire new cities such as Island City in Japan. Apart from such dynamic urban centres, Dubai's luxury islands or the world's most expensive hotel, the Burj al Arab, are also architectural highlights. Visions of the future by renowned architects such as Jean Nouvel, Frank O. Gehry, Zaha Hadid, and Foster & Partners are also presented.
