Paul Jackson‘s major new title Complete Pleats is the most comprehensive book about pleating on the market.

It explains how pleating systems can be stretched, compressed, flared, skewed, multiplied and mirrored, showing how from simple ideas, a huge number of original pleat forms can be created. Each technique is explained with a series of step-by-step photographs and line illustrations, enabling the designer to work through the basic principles of pleating and then adapt them to their specific needs. Complete Pleats also features more than 60 examples of pleats from the worlds of architecture, fashion and product design.

Paul Jackson has taught pleating techniques to students of Fashion Design for 30 years, in both paper and fabric. Complete Pleats is the definitive practical guide for anyone wishing to create and make pleats

The book includes 23 videos of pleating techniques.

About the Author:

Paul Jackson is the author of more than 30 books on paper arts and crafts. He has taught the techniques of folding on more than 150 university-level design courses in the UK, Germany, Belgium, USA, Canada and Israel. Courses include Architecture and Graphic Design to Fashion Design and Fine Art.

Landscape architects rely on images to explore ideas and to communicate them to others. Their designs range from large-scale master plans and strategic visions, through to specific vegetation and precise construction details. Concepts and creative solutions are developed, refined, and explained on paper.

This handbook focuses on areas which, even in the age of ­digital media, remain foundations of the profession: drawing, graphics, and projections. Both instructional and inspirational, it covers the basics of landscape ­architectural representation in an easy-to-understand way, encouraging readers to sketch and develop their own graphic language and style.

Also showcased in this book are many examples from landscape architecture offices worldwide, offering practical help and ideas.

Key thematic areas include:
_Introduction to drawing tools, applications, and effects
_Symbols in different scales, styles, and abstraction levels
_Basic principles for presentation, layout, and lettering
_Fundamentals of orthographic and parallel projections
_Drawing in contemporary landscape architecture practice

After its golden age in the last decades of the 20th century, diagramming is still an experimental practice today, but it focuses on the synthesis of complexity and on new disciplinary territories on the edge between humanities, art, architecture, urban planning and landscape. This manual presents experimental diagrams through sensing, analysing and transforming space. The contributions critically delineate diagrammatic behaviours in architectural history, present the design practices of offices such as AZPML and MVRDV, take the medium to its extreme consequences, and outline future trajectories.

About the Author:

Lidia Gasperoni teaches architectural theory and philosophy with a focus on media philosophy, Anthropocene theories, and aesthetics at the Department of Architectural Theory of the Institute of Architecture at the Technical University Berlin (TU). She studied philosophy in Rome, Freiburg, Breisgau, and Berlin and obtained her PhD from the TU Berlin.

This book explains, in simple steps and non-mathematical terminology, how to create repeat patterns in a line, on the plane, as tiles and as Escher-like repeats. The book also shows how to make 'wallpaper repeats', where the elements of the pattern merge into each other, apparently seamlessly.

Using letters as the basic elements, the book demonstrates how all repeat pattern-making comes out of four simple operations: translation, rotation, reflection and glide reflection. It will provide the definitive one-stop pattern-making resource for professional designers and students across disciplines, from textiles and fashion to graphic design and architecture.

This innovative and unique book is a visual guide to the buildings that surround us, naming all the visible architectural features so that, unlike other architectural dictionaries, the reader doesn't have to know the name before looking it up.

Clear line drawings and extensive colour photographs illustrate each of the main building types, from forts to churches, stately homes to skyscrapers. The individual structural elements and materials common to all buildings are then explained, whether in Classical, Gothic or Modernist style, before delving into the inner architectural details such as doors and windows, roofs and staircases. A comprehensive glossary completes the book.

An original and accessible take on the architectural dictionary, this book takes you on a visual tour of the buildings around us and will be useful not only to students but to anyone with a general interest in architecture.

What looks good and why?

Design consultant Frida Ramstedt runs Scandinavia's leading interior design blog. In this book she distils the secrets of successful interior design and styling to help you create a home that works best for your space, taste and lifestyle. Filled with practical tips, rules-of-thumb and tricks of the trade, The Interior Design Handbook will help you to think like a professional designer.

Make yourself at home

In The Interior Design Handbook, design consultant Frida Ramstedt explains and simplifies the fundamental principles and skills of interior design, giving rules of thumb and tricks of the trade that would be useful to everyone, irrespective of their taste in furniture or personal style. It shows how small adjustments can have a major impact on the overall effect, without the need to buy a host of new items or rip things out and start from scratch.

This is a book you can refer to as you set about turning your house or flat into a home; a book that will help you come up with your own solutions instead of just encouraging you to copy other people's ideas.

Lighting

Just as paint and brushwork can be used to create a visual effect and mood in a room, so lighting can be employed in the same way. Where we place the lamps, direct the beams of light and how we combine different strengths of light can make a huge difference to a room, transforming it at the flick of a switch from day into night.

Design tips

Decorators and interior stylists frequently group objects in order to catch the eye or reinforce the style and mood they are trying to achieve in an interior. These arrangements are called still lifes. Grouping things rather than spreading them out is an effective way to make a design that is full of detail feel more cohesive.

Style versus comfort

Since the lounge suite is often the largest group of furniture in our living rooms, the sofa and chairs send out a message about the aesthetic and functional feel we are trying to create. They tend to drown out any other stylistic clues in the room, which is why it is so important that, in choosing them, we stick to our thematic red thread or, at the very least, do not allow things to move in a different direction from the one we had planned.

The British architect Quinlan Terry has created this book as the ultimate guide to classical architecture. With detailed sketches, he illustrates both the principals of which Classical architecture is based and the ornament that enriches it. The tradition of this architecture persisted into the 20th century when other ideals began to take over. Terry, who is a strong advocate of classical architecture, wants to refocus on the kind of architecture which was dominant in the western world for almost 2,000 years, but whose background and structure is little known today.

The book contains many of Quinlan Terry's drawings, sketches from travels and linoleum prints.

The preface is written by Prince Charles, who holds Quinlan Terry as one of the top contemporary architects.

Accessible architecture is about much more than wide doorways and low-placed light switches. Accessibility means independent and self-determined living and mobility for people of all ages and in any situation in life. Achieving this requires a clear awareness of the related concepts and principles, which need to be adopted into the planning process at an early stage. This manual presents both accessibility design for public buildings and orientation systems for culture, transport, and education, as well as examples from the world of work and health. Informative essays provide an insight into the theory of signage, while selected projects are described from the perspective of Design for All.

- Large-scale images and drawings illustrate ten design parameters
- Best-of collection of the practical handbooks about accessible architecture and wayfinding
- Combined thinking about two areas of design to ease our daily lif

The physical model is an important communication tool for architects. Although the proliferation of CAD programs has enabled the creation of increasingly complex computer models and virtual environments, there is also a growing need to address the three-dimensional qualities of architecture that may be lost when using such media.

This book focuses on the inspiring possibilities for modelling the built environment with all the different media and techniques available. In describing the use of different models in different contexts, the book provides a practical guide to how and why models are used, and what they are used for.

This second edition includes more detailed step-by-step exercises, expanded discussion of materials and techniques, updated coverage of digital techniques and new case studies.

Designing a childcare facility, whether it is a créche, kindergarten, or preschool, involves many challenges. The architect must focus on the needs of the users, who include both the children and the adult carers, while complying with a large number of rules and regulations, which are made all the more complex by the fact that they rarely reference buildings for children explicitly. But above all, the architect must create structures that optimally meet the contem­porary pedagogical and architectural requirements of an institution dedicated to children.

This is the first manual specially dedicated to the long-neglected kindergarten building typology. It presents 60 contemporary childcare buildings from across the world in detail, with large photos, plans, and drawings, providing deep insights into what is an exceedingly complicated design task. Moreover, the book outlines ten design parameters that architects can turn to for guidance. Finally, specialist articles by ­experts delve deeper into the practical consider­ations that are required to successfully plan, design, and operate a childcare facility.
