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.

Może być wiele charakterystycznych różnic w projektowaniu domów, ale fakt fundamentalnej idei schronienia pozostaje niezmienny od wieków. Życie i śmierć wchodzą w architekturę na przykładzie przestrzeni każdego budynku mieszkalnego, od dawnych jaskiń do wielkich zamków. Dom jest wyznacznikiem jego aktualnej cywilizacji, społeczeństwa, jego zamożności, ale najbardziej - inteligencji. W zależności od architekta i jego klienta, dom może stać się tą architekturą, która zwróci na siebie uwagę setek milionów ludzi, może akceptować regulacje urbanistyczne lub z nimi kontrastować. Może także wzbijać się w powietrze lub być schowanym głeboko w ziemi.
