100 Top Houses From Down Under
In this superb publication, "Images" has collected 100 projects from the best architects and interior designers in Australia and New Zealand. Including beach bachs, city apartments, country retreats, suburban homes with a twist, holiday shacks and much more, this book is guaranteed to delight even the most jaded architectural palate. 'Down Under' architecture is indeed unique, whether due to the astonishing ocean, mountain or landscape views, the clever use of indigenous or local materials, or inventive responses to challenges of climate and site. It is always evolving and increasingly the worthy recipient of close international scrutiny. Presented with beautiful colour photographs and plans, as well as contact details for all architects and designers represented, "100 Top Houses from Down Under" is a fabulous resource book for would-be renovators and dreamers alike.
The new 100 houses x 100 architects
The New 100 Houses is the fourth book in IMAGES' popular 100 Best Houses series. IMAGES has again selected houses that represent the very best in international residential architecture. The houses featured represent everything from the modern to the
classical. This is a book that can be browsed through time and again, with each viewing guaranteed to inspire, delight and surprise. Outstanding colour photography captures interior design, layout and furnishings, while exterior photographs meld the
house design with its environment. As well as the usual design locations, the book's scope is far more international than earlier titles in the series, with a broader listing of architects from exotic locations such as the Aegean Coast of Turkey, Slo
venia, Peru's arid coastline, Bulgaria, as well as from the traditional locations in North America, the UK, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
100 Dream Houses From Down Under
This book picks up from where "100 Top Houses from Down Under" left off with another fabulous collection of Aussie and Kiwi houses. There is something special about the way that 'our' architects and designers approach house design - in the way they e
xploit site, location, materials and the climate to add to the ever-evolving Down Under residential vernacular.Some of the stand-out projects in this new compilation include a former petrol station in New Zealand that is now a beautiful contemporary
home (complete with mechanic's bay/wine cellar!) ; a house in Brisbane built specifically as a showcase of sustainability; a coastal house in Melbourne's Mornington Peninsula that uses a mathematical surface as its model, with intriguing spatial resu
lts; a quirky house in New Zealand that alludes to a nearby railway station; a house in suburban Melbourne that brings the garden inside, encouraging ecological diversity and modelling sustainable building practices; several examples of significant r
enovations to period homes; tranquil rural properties that engage so completely with the landscape as to almost disappear; some streamlined, hip hard-edged warehouse/apartment projects; gorgeous beachside projects with the requisite ocean views - the
list continues.There are many common themes that link these seemingly diverse projects, but the overwhelming thread is the architects' commitment to an environmental agenda. No longer are passive and active thermal and solar devices, rainwater harve
sting and storage, non-mechanical ventilation and the like considered new or experimental. They are integral elements that enrich and enhance the superb architecture practised 'Down Under'.

Whether well-established names or hidden gems, the reader is presented with a visual tour of ocean side resorts that range across continents and around the world-luxurious places where tastefulness and simplicity are often valued over richly decorated formality.
Staircases
If you think a flight of stairs means nothing more than getting from one floor to the next, think again. Shot from intriguing angles that illustrate their utility and beauty, this colorful tour of stepping spaces reveals why staircases are not only the architect's ultimate challenge, but also the ultimate manifestation of his ingenuity, imagination, and engineering skills. In one family houses and multiple dwellings, in schools, museums, and sport arenas, in restaurants, offices and retail shops, these stairs, escalators, and even fire escapes are made of every material imaginable: wood, natural stone, bricks, reinforced concrete, metal and even glass. From one floor to the next they show how the best staircases are spiritually - as well as physically - transporting.

New York Architecture and Design
Big Apple - Haupstadt der Welt - das sind einige der Bezeichnungen, mit denen man New York im Laufe seiner Geschichte zu definieren suchte. Jedoch kann man diese faszinierende und vibrierende Stadt nur schlecht mit Worten beschreiben. Da die Stadt eine sehr günstige, geographische Lage einnimmt und das Haupteingangstor zum neuen Kontinent war, ihre Wirtschaft mit Schwindel erregender Geschwindigkeit wächst und sie Treffpunkt für die Kulturen der Welt ist, definiert sie sich auch fortwährend selbst neu.
Tokyo Architecture & Design
Tokyo constitutes the most populated metropolitan area on the planet&894 it’s houses 33 million inhabitants who get around on the world’s most complex railroad system, as well as enjoying the highest number of restaurants per inhabitant in the world. It is also, possibly, the megalopolis with the highest proportion of recent architecture. Despite the fact that Tokyo’s origins date back to the 17th century _ when it was known as Edo _ and that it went trough a golden age at the end of the 19th century after being declared the capital of Japan, little remains of its original architecture as result of two significant events that almost completely destroyed it: an earthquake in 1923, which triggered plans for a rebuilding programme that proved unfeasible due to the high cost, and the bombardments of World War II, which almost halved the population.In no other city are the boundaries between inside and outside, public and private, up and down as blurred as in Tokyo&894 this lack of frontiers has shaped an urban setting without parallel, which is reflected equally by the most state-of-the-art skyscraper and the most intimate store. This amalgam of architectural typologies has established itself as a reference point for designers from all over the world.
Traffic Design
Since the last century, most of the public space has been designed for and around the automobile. Gradually, a mostly undifferentiated infrastructure developed into landmark architecture, with buildings and constructions of all kinds that interpret and mark the contemporary's ”automobile way of life”. Be it parking garages, gas stations, wash-cafés, bridges or motor hotels: the subject has a surprising lot of designs to offer. Paolo Tumminelli’s ”Traffic design” shows recent interesting projects from the whole world.

Les Contemplations
Qu'est-ce que Les Contemplations? C'est l'existence humaine sortant de l'énigme du berceau et aboutissant l'énigme du cercueil; c'est un esprit qui marche de lueur en lueur en laissant derrire lui la jeunesse, l'amour, l'illusion, le combat, le désespoir, et qui s'arrte éperdu au bord de l'infini " (Préface). Le recueil des Contemplations rassemble des textes écrits par Hugo sur plus de vingt ans, et classés selon une chronologie fictive. De la célbre Réponse un acte d'accusation, o le pote pose en révolutionnaire de la langue, Ce que dit la bouche d'ombre, inspiré de l'expérience du spiritisme, en passant par les pomes sur la mort de Léopoldine, ce sont les mémoires d'une âme qui se dessinent en creux. Parues en 1856 entre Les Châtiments et La Légende des sicles, Les Contemplations marquent le sommet de l'uvre poétique de Victor Hugo."
