Abstract

Humans have been building homes from wood for thousands of years, and yet, in a contemporary world of option and innovation the most primitive resource could in fact be the most pertinent. Stretching back to historic Japanese houses, becoming synonymous with resort accommodation, and intertwining itself in the modern trend of hygge, its tactility and warmth has influenced countless architectural design movements. A safe,0sturdy, and sustainable alternative to concrete, architects are rediscovering wood?s universal appeal. Out of the Woods documents their progressive and inspiring creations from the foundations up.

Abstract

Libraries are so much more than collections of books. They are archives of knowledge, spaces of study, sources of inspiration and connection. Among the world’s most universal and democratic places, they are also outstanding icons of architecture that represent the societies that built them. Temples of Books celebrates the world’s oldest and grandest shrines to the written word, as well as new and tiny ones: from baroque palaces to micro-libraries made of recycled plastics, and the unlikely ones in between. Looking at the diverse architecture of global libraries throughout the ages, Temples of Books goes further and explores the very idea of libraries themselves. This is a book about the beauty of books, a book for book lovers and for those who believe in the power of ideals. --Gestalten

Vertical Living is an introduction to the architecture and interior masterminds using skillful, clever design to conquer compact living wherever there is space. As we continue to expect more of our flats and houses, unexpected approaches are necessary for the future of our urban spaces.

Abstract

Whether it’s a micro-flat in Moscow, an apartment in Atlanta or a loft in London, a new wave of interiors projects have revealed that we are hungry for color and pattern. Crayon box color palettes, playful speckles, curving forms and graphic grids are just some of the trends that have emerged — together creating cheerful environments that don’t take themselves too seriously. House of Joy takes stock of the undercurrents that are shaping the spaces in which we live and work – particularly those that make us smile.

Abstract

Digital renderings have long served architects and interior designers to help visualize spaces before the building begins. But a new generation of digital artists are taking this craft a step further to create otherworldly scenes that can't, and won't, ever be built. This inspiring compilation of the most innovative projects in digital art covers the work of the artists and creatives at the forefront of this aesthetic. Discover Filip Hodas and his captivating pop culture dystopia artwork series, explore Massimo Colonna's surrealist urban landscapes and dive into the abstract compositions of Ezequiel Pini, founder of Six N. Five studio. Dreamscapes & Artificial Architecture presents the work of leading creatives from across the globe, exploring the infinite ways to conceptualize utopian oases and dystopian nightmares. With their roots in spatial design, their ideas present a new creative current defined by the fusion of digital techniques such as computer rendering and 3D art, and an aesthetic that moves between fantasy and reality. Freed from the constraints of the physical world, these dreamscapes expand the possibilities for architecture and interior design.

Abstract

Nature and architecture have never been more intertwined. As more of the earth?s surface is swallowed up by the built environment, architects are increasingly up to the task of integrating flora and greenery into their creations. There are many ways to express this: green roofs, living walls, indoor courtyards and entire facades filled with plants. But where these are posed as solutions there are yet more questions. How does a skyscraper uphold the weight of hundreds of trees? How do residents keep moss-covered walls alive? 'Evergreen Architecture' explores this, and much more. "As more of the earth's surface is swallowed up by the built environment, architects are increasingly advised to integrate urban flora and fauna into their designs. Whether developing green roofs, living walls, abundant indoor courtyards, or balconies that connect interior and exterior spaces, the urge to intertwine nature and architecture has never been more apparent. Embracing this ubiquitous trend, Evergreen Architecture surveys a broad spectrum of residential, institutional, urban, and rural spaces. But as change occurs and solutions to the climate crisis are being integrated on the ground, many new questions are posed. How do residents keep moss-covered walls alive? How can a skyscraper uphold the weight of hundreds of trees? Evergreen Architecture investigates this movement from the perspective of the architects leading the charge whilst offering diagrams and plans to help the reader understand how each building came together and how it intends to survive."--Publisher's description

Abstract

Multiple generations of the same family living under one roof is not a new idea. But what is new is the way architects around the world are re-embracing this form of living, back by increasingly popular demand. While the 20th century experience emphasized a single-family home for the nuclear family and bachelor pads, we are now seeing more tiers of the family unit choosing to live together. Come Together explores the why, the what, the where and, perhaps most importantly, the how of the homes that succeed to be livable for all generational tiers - with designs that are not only architecturally stunning, but balancing private and communal spaces to come together.

Abstract

What if research, science and architecture merged ? This question drives the ideas of architects Chris Bosse, Alexander Rieck and Tobias Walisser from LAVA, the Laboratory for Visionary Architecture. The 2020 Expo in Dubaï marked the unveilling of LAVA's German Pavilion, which became a fertile starting point for this book. Rather than looking back on 15 years of major global work, this book looks to the future of architecture and life on earth. The four key themes explored in the Pavilion : future cities, biodiversity, energy transition ans social impact of architecture are joined by two further urgent topics : new digital processes and the evolution of the workplace. These six ideas become the lens through which LAVA's founders, as well as visionaries from architecture and adjacent disciplines, ask questions about the built environement and his future. We hear from Maria Aiolova, Raoul Bunschoten, Giovanna Carnevali, Marjan Colletti, Caia Hagel, Amy Frearson, Riya Patel, Gilles Retsin, Georg Vrachliotis, André Wilkens, and many others. Each theme is presented through a series of thought-provoking essays, features, interviews, and LAVA projects underpinned by the curiosity of the authors who unravel these themes, each with the same question : what if ?
