Costa Duran Sergi, Conxi Papio Layout Contemporary Landscape Architecture
The landscape architect shapes the terrain and the space around a pre-existing construction or a developing urban or regional project. His aim is to offer the most poetic transcription of the language associated with a given architectural calculation. These professionals work with animated and inanimate physical structures which spring from geographical and social contexts, as well as from technical and economical conditions. Their imagination is the motor behind the creative, competent and playful solutions. The fifty projects presented in this book primarily show the designs of new spaces and successful restoration of others, which had previously had completely different uses, like a quarry or an industrial center. An index with contact information on the respective architects and designers is enclosed.

Duran Sergi Costa Hign Density Housing Architecture
The pressure exerted on cities in recent decades is extremely evident. There is no need for one to consult official statistics to realize that cities are turning into the place where most of the population prefers to live and work. Residing downtown or in inner city areas, where business and cultural activities are to be found, is very practical and with more advantages than those that were to be had in suburban areas only a few years ago. Employment is also concentrated in urban areas, and this explains the progressive population decline in rural areas of developed countries. "High Density Housing Architecture" shows different types of multi-residential buildings situated in urban centers as a metaphor for the growing overcrowding of cities and for what some call the 'new global lifestyle'. These pages document some twenty-five low and high density residential projects in cities such as Istanbul, New York, Tokyo, Mexico City and Sydney. Издание на английском языке.

Serrats Marta, Costa Duran Sergi Club design
The word "disco" comes from the french "discotheque", a fusion between "disco" and "bibliotheque" which first came into use during World War II when the ban on jazz and dance halls gave rise to clandestine clubs and the figure of the "disc-jockey". Places like "Chez Regine" attracted the Parisian jet-jet, while in the US, "Le Club" in New York, and later the legendary "Studio 54" institutionalized a space characterized by stobe lights and mirror balls. Since then, clubs have experienced a transformation linked to the needs of a demanding party public eager to experience a wide range of sensations in an extreme and provocative decor. This publication presents an extensive compilation of the hottest clubs in the world's leading cities. Литература на английском, испанском, французском, немецком и итальянском языках.

Layout Maria, Lleonart Aitana, Castell Carballo Eugenia Contemporary Corporate Architecture
Throughout history, institutions and governments have always constructed large and ostentatious buildings as a way of demonstrating their power. By means of this aspect of design, many fast-growing, predominantly young but established companies have publicized their growth and shored up their identity at the same time. Contemporary Corporate Architecture has become a further element of a company's identity, achieved through the cooperation of several disciplines such as visual communications, marketing and graphic design, among many others. Sustainability is an aspect increasingly present in this type of architecture, which incorporates different elements to reduce environmental impacts, particularly in relation to the type of materials used in construction.

Contemporary Japanese Architecture
Современная архитектура Японии уже давно считается одной из самых изобретательных в мире, признанной за устойчивость и безграничную креативность. Не менее семи японских архитекторов получили Притцкеровскую премию. С тех пор как на Всемирной выставке в Осаке-70 современные формы оказались в центре внимания, Япония стала ключевым игроком в мировой архитектуре. Со своим намеренно ограниченным словарным запасом геометрических форм Тадао Андо с тех пор поместил японское строительство на культурную карту мира, установив мост между Востоком и Западом. Вслед за в основном бетонными зданиями Андо появляются такие фигуры, как Кенго Кума (Японский национальный стадион, предназначенный для Олимпийских игр, первоначально запланированный на 2020 год), Сигэру Бан (Центр всемирного наследия горы Фудзи) и Кадзуё Сэдзима (Музей искусства XXI века в Канадзаве). Современное искусство) впервые применил более устойчивый подход. Молодое поколение успешно развивает новые направления японской архитектуры, гармонирующие с природой и связанные с традиционным строительством. Вместо того, чтобы планировать на чертежной доске, архитекторы, представленные в этой коллекции, выделяются своим бесконечным поиском форм, по-настоящему реагируя на окружающую среду. Представляя новейшие достижения японского строительства, эта книга показывает, что это уникальное творчество является плодом очень специфической ситуации в Японии, которая включает в себя высокую плотность населения, современную, эффективную экономику, долгую историю и постоянное присутствие катастроф в виде землетрясений. Принятие двусмысленности, как видно из мимолетных отражений музея Сэдзимы в Канадзаве, или постоянных изменений и угрозы катастрофы, является ключом к пониманию того, что отличает японскую архитектуру от архитектуры Европы или Америки. В этой книге размером XL рассказывается о 39 архитекторах и 55 выдающихся проектах японских мастеров — от Шанхайского политехнического театра Тадао Андо, концертного зала Сигэру Бана La Seine Musical, ферм SANAA Grace Farms, 4-го Всемирного торгового центра Фумихико Маки до гораздо меньшей устойчивой стоматологической клиники Такаши Суо. Каждый проект представлен фотографиями, оригинальными планами этажей и техническими чертежами, а также подробными описаниями и краткими биографиями. Подробное эссе прослеживает строительную сцену страны от периода «Метаболистов» до сегодняшнего дня и показывает, как взаимодействие прошлого, настоящего и будущего принесло современной японской архитектуре всемирное признание.The contemporary architecture of Japan has long been among the most inventive in the world, recognized for sustainability and infinite creativity. No fewer than seven Japanese architects have won the Pritzker Prize. Since Osaka World Expo ’70 brought contemporary forms center stage, Japan has been a key player in global architecture.

Jodidio Philip Landscape Architecture Now!/Ландшафтная архитектура сегодня
Turning the world green. The architecture of the great outdoors. One of the hottest areas of contemporary design is clearly landscape architecture. No matter what the architectural style of the moment, the green areas around houses, stadiums or corporate headquarters have taken on a considerable importance, all the more so with the emphasis on ecology and green design. This book calls on the work of the top designers of the moment, from Ken Smith, author of the "Museum of Modern Art's" rooftop garden to West8 from Rotterdam, but also on architects ranging from Foreign Office to Tadao Ando who have long been fascinated by the environments of their buildings. There are new names like the Lebanese landscape architect Vladimir Djurovic and well-known ones like Martha Schwartz. There are established firms like the Wirtz family from Belgium or Gustafson Porter from the United States and young creators like Sophie Agata Ambroise from Lugano. The limit between architecture and landscape architecture is not always easy to define, but this new book opens the doors and windows of today's architecture into the gardens of tomorrow. Featured architects and practices include: AECOM, Tadao Ando, Balmori Associates, Patrick Blanc, Caffarena, Cobos et al, Cervino Lopez, Vladimir Djurovic, DSR, Peter Eisenman, EMBT, James Corner Field, Glavovic Studio, Carrilho da Graca, Gustaffson Guthrie, Gustaffson Porter, Zaha Hadid, Herzog & de Meuron, Steven Holl, Martin Hurtado, Raymond Jungles, Maya Lin, LRO, Giovanni Maciocco, Michael Maltzan, Mecanoo, Fernando Menis, Eduardo de Miguel, Catherine Mosbach, Sotoji Nakamura, Victor Neves, NGBM, Nieto Sobejano, Officina del Paesaggio, Okra, John Pawson, Renzo Piano, Palerm Tabares, Masuno Shunmyo, Ken Smith, Taylor Cullity Lethlean, Michael van Valkenburgh, Weiss Manfredi, West8, and Wirtz International, Work AC.

Jodidio Philip Contemporary Japanese Architecture
A survey of Japan’s contemporary architecture scene The contemporary architecture of Japan has long been among the most inventive in the world, recognized for sustainability and infinite creativity. No fewer than seven Japanese architects have won the Pritzker Prize. Since Osaka World Expo ’70 brought contemporary forms center stage, Japan has been a key player in global architecture. With his intentionally limited vocabulary of geometric forms, Tadao Ando has since then put Japanese building on the world’s cultural map, establishing a bridge between East and West. In the wake of Ando’s mostly concrete buildings, figures like Kengo Kuma (Japan National Stadium intended for the Olympic Games, originally planned for 2020), Shigeru Ban (Mount Fuji World Heritage Center), and Kazuyo Sejima (Kanazawa Museum of 21st Century Art of Contemporary Art) pioneered a more sustainable approach. Younger generations have successfully developed new directions in Japanese architecture that are in harmony with nature and connected to traditional building. Rather than planning on the drawing board, the architects presented in this collection stand out for their endless search for forms, truly reacting on their environment. Presenting the latest in Japanese building, this book reveals how this unique creativity is a fruit of Japan’s very particular situation that includes high population density, a modern, efficient economy, a long history, and the continual presence of disasters in the form of earthquakes. Accepting ambiguity, as seen in the evanescent reflections of Sejima’s Kanazawa Museum, or constant change and the threat of catastrophe is a key to understanding what makes Japanese architecture different from that of Europe or America. This XL-sized book highlights 39 architects and 55 exceptional projects by Japanese masters—from Tadao Ando’s Shanghai Poly Theater, Shigeru Ban’s concert hall La Seine Musical, SANAA’S Grace Farms, Fumihiko Maki’s 4 World Trade Center, to Takashi Suo’s much smaller sustainable dental clinic. Each project is introduced with photos, original floor plans and technical drawings, as well as insightful descriptions and brief biographies. An elaborate essay traces the country’s building scene from the Metabolists to today and shows how the interaction of past, present, and future has earned contemporary Japanese architecture worldwide recognition.
