Concrete horizons, urban sprawl, high-density living: never have our cities and their buildings been in greater need of greening. Yet what's required is more than an occasional vertical garden or living roof. Featuring seventy projects from around the world - some built, some ongoing, some from the future - Garden City looks at the increasingly inventive ways in which architects and designers are incorporating nature into the built environment, transforming the city for the benefit of all.

L'augmentation de la population urbaine en densité et en nombre d'habitants entraîne l'extension des villes, autant horizontalement que verticalement. Architectes et designers urbains conçoivent alors de nouvelles structures expérimentales tout en exploitant les constructions existantes dans l'idée de les réinventer ou de les développer. Ainsi, le toit d'un bâtiment, élément autrefois anodin, est aujourd'hui un espace de la ville en soi, apprécié car il permet de gagner des pièces supplémentaires pour vivre ou de devenir un refuge inspirant, préservé de l'agitation de la métropole. Cette sélection des toits urbains dans le monde fait l'inventaire d'une nouvelle dimension de la ville. À travers plus de 50 bars, restaurants, installations artistiques temporaires et jardins, elle témoigne de la variété des réalisations ingénieuses et exubérantes qui embellissent les sommets des métropoles de Sydney à Hong Kong, d'Oslo à Chicago. Que ce soit pour sa vue panoramique, son exposition aux éléments ou le léger vertige dû à sa hauteur, on constate à quel point le toit a produit une invention architecturale, tout en transformant complètement la façon et l'exaltation de vivre en ville. Comme les précédents Tree Houses et Cabins, Urban Rooftops se caractérise à la fois par des photographies magnifiques et des illustrations brillantes et contemporaines signées Boyoun Kim. À l'image de tous les livres des séries TASCHEN sur l'architecture, il célèbre autant les figures consacrées que les talents prometteurs du secteur. Présentant des artistes de ce mouvement au plus près des cieux, il inclut les lauréats du prix Pritzker, Norman Foster et Shigeru Ban, mais aussi Jeffrey Inaba, Julien de Smedt (JDS), ainsi que les concepteurs paysagistes tels que Ken Smith et Vladimir Djurovic. As urban living intensifies in density and numbers, the city landscape expands both outwards and upwards. Architects and urban designers craft new and experimental structures while also investigating existing buildings for potential reinvention or expansion. In particular, the roof of a building, once a perfunctory structural element, is now a city space in and of itself, beloved for the capacity to eke out further room for living or to craft inspiring refuges away from the bustle of the metropolis. This international selection of urban rooftops catalogs a new urban dimension. Through over 50 bars, restaurants, temporary art installations, and gardens, it testifies to the variety of intelligent and exuberant designs that grace city summits from Sydney to Hong Kong, Oslo to Chicago. Whether it's the panoramic views, the exposure to the elements, or a slight giddiness that comes with height, we see just how the roof has nurtured not only architectural invention but a whole new facet and thrill to city living. Just like its predecessors Tree Houses and Cabins, Urban Rooftops features both brilliant photography and bright, contemporary illustration. As with all books in TASCHEN's architecture series, it also celebrates both the established and the rising talents of the industry. Featured artists in this movement towards the skies include Pritzker Prize winners Norman Foster and Shigeru Ban, Jeffrey Inaba, Julien de Smedt (JDS), and landscape designers such as Ken Smith and Vladimir Djurovic.

On occasion of the International Architecture Exhibition in Venice Rem Koolhaas wrote the book 'Elements of Architecture'. As a follow-up to S,M,L,XL this encyclopedic tome illustrates the research project lying behind the 14th International Architecture Biennale.The focus of the book 'Elements of Architecture' is the evolution of the elements used by architects of every age throughout the history of architecture. Doors, windows, ceilings, floors, stairs, balconies, and other basic elements of architecture - often overlooked but universally familiar - are studied, analyzed, and cataloged by means of an endless variety of visual references, from ancient times to modern developments. By looking at the evolution of architectural elements that are common to all cultures, this exploration avoids the classical Eurocentrism that often still characterizes architectural discourse. National identity has seemingly been sacrificed to modernity. Nevertheless, unique national features and mentalities continue to exist and flourish just as international collaboration and exchange intensifies.
