Autobiographical homes. This title deals with the houses architects design for themselves

The greatest challenge in designing homes is negotiating the delicate balance between aesthetics and the personal desires of the occupants.

While it’s important for the structure to reflect the vision and style of the architect, the client must ultimately feel at home beneath the roof. It is particularly interesting, therefore, to examine the homes that architects create for themselves. If houses reflect their owners’ personalities, then architects’ own homes are like autobiographies.

Location, layout, style, lighting, artwork, furnishings - every detail adds color to the story.

Each of these dwellings, presented A-Z by architect, speaks more about its designer than any other building possibly could.

All students who have a budding interest in architectural design will value this book for its solid foundational orientation and instruction.

This thoughtfully irreverent primer establishes the importance of developing and fine-tuning your concept at every stage.

• Equips young architects with the essential tools for developing creative and original concepts.
• Presents thirty-two topics across the four steps of the design process.
• Covers the entire range of design stages, from assessing the site, addressing the social, environmental and political contexts of the building, understanding the programme inside out, assembling building components and creative approaches to economizing, reuse and craftsmanship.
• Features more than 200 sketches, plans and illustrations specially produced by the author, along with photographic references and an inspirational guide to further reading.

First one-volume paperback edition of one of the most important documents in American architecture. Depicted are over 130 structures — the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Pierpont Morgan Library, Tiffany & Company, and the original Penn Station, among others, in New York, as well as many important landmarks in other cities. 435 photographs, over 250 line illustrations.

A comprehensive and thoughtful survey, the book begins with a brief introduction to the history of architecture, seen through the advances and experimentation put forward by architects over the centuries. Separate chapters follow, devoted to specific qualities of natural light, and each includes an introduction that considers the particular uses of light through many disciplines, from art history to film and literature.

The book includes works by the world’s most influential architects, among them Tadao Ando, Steven Holl, Herzog & de Meuron, Peter Zumthor, Frank Gehry, Álvaro Siza, Alberto Campo Baeza, Rafael Moneo, Rem Koolhaas, Jean Nouvel, Fumihiko Make and Toyo Ito. This is the perfect title for anyone interested in creating space that transcends the physical.

This is the first comprehensive international survey of one of the most neglected but most important building types of the modern era: the parking garage. An introduction sets out the history and architectural significance of these buildings and their relevance today and is followed by four main chapters that define the most influential aspects of parking design: elevations and facade; construction and materiality; the use of light; and experimentation.

The book's wide-ranging importance and detailed plans make it an indispensable and inspirational resource for students, professional architects, engineers, urban planners and developers.

Housing the maximum number of cars in a well-designed space is one of the most challenging aspects of twentieth-century architecture, which has attracted a stellar array of architects.

This is the first major international survey of parking garages ever published. Multi-levelled like a car park itself, the book presents visual essays, project spreads and case studies that feature ground-breaking historical and recent structures in photographs and drawings.

From the iconic Marina City towers in Chicago to the latest robotic technology at the Volkswagen Autotürme in Germany, the author shows how the form and function of the parking garage has been hugely influential not only on generations of architects but on popular culture, capturing the imagination of novelists, photographers and film-makers.

The Architecture of Parking is an inspirational resource for students, professional architects, urban planners, engineers, developers, and anyone interested in how construction for cars has shaped our built world.

Once in every generation comes a scholar who is a master of both the documentary evidence and the buildings themselves. Such a man is Christoph Luitpold Frommel who, after winning a world-wide reputation, here distils his learning into a new synthesis that is both up-to-date and securely based on primary sources.

The book is not only illustrated throughout with photographs, drawings, plans and reconstructions, but social context, technical innovation and aesthetic judgement are all given due weight, with particular emphasis on the way in which each architect balanced individual inspiration with the accepted canon.

Christoph Luitpold Frommel was born in 1933 and has held academic posts in Germany (Bonn University), the USA (Institute of Advanced Study, Princeton, and the University of California, Berkeley) and Italy (La Sapienza, Rome). He was Director of the Bibliotheca Herziana, Rome, from 1980 to 2001.

• A definitive account of the most innovative and most influential 150 years in the history of architecture
• A work that brings scholarship in English into line with the most advanced continental research
• Over 300 photographs, architects’ drawings and plans
• Authoritative, readable, deeply considered
• The fruit of a lifetime’s study

Until the early 1990s the southern and eastern towns of Yemen were extremely difficult to access. The result of nearly two decades of research, this is the first book to offer an in-depth investigation into the characteristic architecture of the region. The authors first hand research provides detailed insights into building techniques and methods, though still practised, are little known outside the area.

Refreshingly, the book moves out of the more familiar major cities into the hinterlands and explores regions that could be said to be the last strongholds of traditional Arab architecture. The author was allowed to visit locations and sites that had previously been closed to architectural historians. As a result of this privileged access, the text and images combine to convey unique insights and viewpoints: those of the master builders and house owners who actually create and inhabit the buildings.

468 examples from L'Art International d'Aujourd'hui capture geometric, prismatic Art Deco of 20's and 30's. Gardens, dwellings, interiors, furniture, fabrics, stained glass, sculpture, jewelry, graphics by Brandt, Chareau, Fouquet, Vuitton — 171 other artists, architects, and designers.

Over 400 photographs.
