Hortus Conclusus
The desire for beautiful gardens is as strong as ever. An own garden as a private oasis of well-being, but also as a place of prestige can be much more than lawn and flowerbed, path, and hedge. The projects by professional landscape and garden architects presented in this volume show which elements, components and structures, composed and conceived with care and sophistication, constitute stylish and convincing garden design. The interaction with the surroundings, usually the house that belongs to the particular garden, always plays an important role. This can be sometimes strictly geometrical in a near-natural environment, unpretentious in front of a luxury villa, or freely moving, loosening up minimalist architecture. The size of the presented gardens from very different climatic zones ranges from a green backyard of less than 20 square feet to park-like grounds of over 2,000.

Libraries Architecture
In the past decade, the increasing requirements of the multimedia world have substantially increased the demands placed on libraries. They have gone through a transformation from introverted collections of bookish knowledge to globally networked information administrators and communication brokers. Today, public and academic libraries have to offer their users constantly advancing digital search possibilities coupled with enough spaces for concentrated reading.
Architects have to approach library projects from multiple perspectives. Whether new buildings, conversions or extensions, this book shows the diversity of the design and building tasks in order to comply with the very latest technology requirements and cultural demands within a library space.
Česká architektonická avantgarda
Česká architektonická avantgarda je životním dílem Otakara Nového, předního odborníka v oblasti urbanismu a životního prostředí a znalce dějin moderní architektury. Svou pozornost zaměřil na tvůrce, projekty, stavby, názory a celkový význam meziválečného funkcionalismu. Téma svého díla zasazuje do velmi široce pojatého kulturního kontextu doby od poloviny 19. do poloviny 20. století.
Autor sám byl od druhé poloviny třicátých let svědkem spletitých osudů avantgardy, prožíval její naděje a zklamání a téměř se všemi jejími významnými postavami se znal. Příběh české architektonické avantgardy proto vypráví s osobním zaujetím. Vedle obdivu k jejímu nadšení a čistotě úmyslů se však nevyhýbá ani kritice její netolerance a omylů.
Kniha obsahuje více než dvě stě fotografií a vychází ve třetím vydání v nové grafické úpravě.
Adolf Loos
The must-have monograph on one of modern architecture's most influential figures, long a rarity and now available in an expanded and updated edition
Viennese architect Adolf Loos was influential among his fellow early modernists not only for his radical designs but for his controversial ideology and famously militant opposition to ornament. Loos approached architecture from a primarily utilitarian perspective: he believed that interiors should be designed according to function, taking full advantage of the size and space of a building.
In this definitive monograph, a true labor of love, architect Ralf Bock seeks to reveal the sensuality of Loos' interior designs, focusing on his sincere belief in the evolution of tradition. The book explores 30 existing projects from Loos' oeuvre, documented in 160 full-color images by the celebrated French photographer Phillippe Ruault. Along with materials from the Loos archive at the Albertina Museum Vienna, these photographs and Bock's commentary provide a new interpretation of Loos' work and encourage the reintroduction of his ideology into the contemporary architectural conversation. Profiles of Loos' original clients and interviews with people who currently inhabit his designs round out this unique publication.
Adolf Loos (1870-1933) was a radical figure in his time: his critique of the Vienna Secession and advocacy for utilitarian design greatly influenced the less ornamental approaches to architecture among subsequent modernist designers. He studied briefly at Dresden University of Technology and delivered his famous lecture "Ornament and Crime" at the Academic Association for Literature and Music in 1910. His most recognizable building is the multipurpose Looshaus at Michaelerplatz in Vienna, characterized by the numerous window boxes on the building's façade.
Come Together: The Architecture of Multigenerational Living
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.
Slavné vily českých prezidentů
Osobnosti českých, respektive československých prezidentů, počínaje Masarykem a konče Zemanem, jsou natolik odlišné, že se snad ani nechce věřit v nějaké příbuzné genetické kořeny. Jejich politické životopisy jsou dostatečně známy, méně se však literatura věnuje tomu, jací byli v soukromí, když se nemuseli stylizovat a neviděly je oči národa. S tím samozřejmě souvisí i místa KDE žili, jaké bylo jejich rodinné zázemí. Václav Junek si získal čtenáře už předchozí publikací Slavné vily slavných. Tato kniha na ni volně navazuje jen s tím rozdílem, že vniká do soukromí československých a českých prezidentů. Činí tak s autorovou schopností vyhmátnout ze soukromého života mužů, kteří tvořili naše dějiny, to podstatné. Čtivě tak představuje prezidenty a jejich rodiny ve chvílích, kdy se nemusejí stylizovat.
Velünk omló történelem
Hazánk ezer csodája mellett a kastélyromok földje. Ezerszám álltak hajdanán büszke kastélyok a történelmi Magyarországon, több száz került viharos történelmünk miatt végveszélybe, és legalább ennyi lett a földdel egyenlővé. Elpusztult és romos kastélyoknak állít emléket a könyv legalább száz egykori magyar nemesi rezidencia képével és több száz említésével a történelmi Magyarország területéről. Számba veszi a hajdani úri lakok építéstörténetét, és megismertet minket egykori tulajdonosaival.
A kastélyok pusztulása gyakran krimibe illő történet, amelynek pontos részleteit az idők során sem tisztázódtak. Mai napig nem tudjuk, hogyan és miért lobbant lángra, és égett porig az alcsúti, egykori Habsburg-kastély, a Pollack Mihály tervezte épület hazánk egyik legjelentősebb klasszicista magánépülete volt. A tragédia idején is találgatták, vajon ki gyújtotta fel a rédei Esterházy-kastély évszázados faszerkezetét, amelynek fazsindelyeit a barokk épület iránti tiszteletből féltő gonddal őrizte meg egykori tulajdonosa, gróf Esterházy Pál.

Cabin Fever : Enchanting Cabins, Shacks, and Hideaways
Nestled in thriving woodlands, overlooking bodies of water, or even exposed to the elements on a mountain's peak, architects are contending to create high-impact spaces on a small scale. Cabin Fever takes a broad look at remote retreats designed to make the most of their natural surroundings and illustrates why the call of the wild is louder than ever. A desire to escape the commotion of the city without sacrificing creature comforts is something felt by many; especially in today's interconnected world. Featuring rustic timber cabins on stilts, mirrored pods in the woods, and otherworldly off-grid getaways, Cabin Fever showcases a new wave of modern hideaways, all remotely positioned and away from the hustle and bustle.
Alexander Calder: Minimal Maximal
Few artists are able to work successfully on both large and small scales, but throughout his career Calder brilliantly moved from the miniature to the monumental and back again. This publication focuses on the enormous stabiles he created mostly for public places, as well as his elegant hanging mobiles in sheet metal, miniature standing mobiles, and chess sets, shedding light on the social and performative aspects of his work. Essays explore how Calder approached the effects of kinetics and space, solidity and transparency, stasis and activity, volume and void. The book also looks at how Calder's small-scale sculptures echoed the public spectacle of his larger pieces, creating a "private drama" that encouraged direct participation. Whatever the size, Calder's works employed movement and interaction in unpredictable ways, and this enlightening book helps readers appreciate the important continuity of his oeuvre.

Historická a současná architektura
Existuje rozdíl mezi historickou a současnou architekturou? Historická architektura je často vnímána jako samostatná, uzavřená etapa výstavby, ke které máme jako společnost poněkud ambivalentní vztah. Považujeme ji za součást kulturního dědictví, jejíž ochranu a obnovu svěřujeme specialistům, zároveň její ochranu často vnímáme jako překážku dalšího rozvoje a uplatnění současných požadavků na užívání domů. Mnozí v ní nehledají příležitost ani inspiraci, namísto její obnovy volí jednodušší cestu k současným, často mnohem méně osobitým a kvalitním formám. Tato kniha je stručným shrnutím zkušeností z přípravy a realizace téměř stovky projektů rekonstrukcí, obnovy a dostaveb památkově chráněných staveb, souborů a území, převážně na půdorysu Pražské památkové rezervace a v památkových zónách nebo areálech ve středních Čechách. Je příspěvkem k dialogu o hledání podstaty, kvality a hodnot architektury jako takové, bez ohledu na to, v které době byla vytvořena. Ostatně, také termín historická architektura je podle autora relativní. Pravděpodobně každý architekt se totiž dožije toho, že jeho práce, kdysi současná a aktuální, je posuzována měřítkem času a srovnávána se stavbami o mnoho staršími i mladšími.

Piano. Complete Works 1966-Today
Renzo Piano rose to international prominence with his co-design of the Pompidou Center in Paris, described by The New York Times as a building that "turned the architecture world upside down." Since then, he has continued to craft such iconic cultural spaces as the Modern Wing of the Art Institute of Chicago and, more recently, the Whitney Museum of American Art, an asymmetric nine-story structure in Manhattan's Meatpacking District with both indoor and outdoor galleries. In London, the Piano touch has also transformed the skyline with the Shard.
At the age of 84, the Italian maestro retains all of his enthusiasm and kindness-and his recent roster is more impressive than ever. As he confided to the author, "I think at a certain age, one can discover that there is what the French call the 'fil rouge,' a kind of red thread that relates one building to another over time. In my case, I believe it is about lightness and the art of building." From freshly built museums in Athens and Santander; ongoing works in Lisbon, London, Toronto, and Geneva; to such humanitarian projects as the Emergency Children's Surgical Hospital in Entebbe, Uganda, and the Children's Hospice in Bologna, Italy, Piano's career is a thrilling journey through the beauty and very essence of architecture.
Based on the massive XXL monograph, this widely updated edition brings the architect's definitive career overview to an accessible format and is illustrated by photographs, sketches, and plans.
