MAD DINNER is the first book by MAD office, Beijing-based architectural office.
Organized around the metaphor of dinner table conversation, the book is a collection of ideas and opinions about topics ranging from politics to ecology to fame to the future.
The dinner's "guests" include people from all levels of Chinese society: a government official, hairdresser, migrant laborers, a doctor, a taxi driver, and a developer are all brought together to offer their views in an atmosphere of openness and exchange. MAD's work is embedded in a series of extended conversations with international advisors, including the Swiss curator Hans Ulrich Obrist, British writer Ian Buruma, filmmakers Zhang Yimou and Jia Zhangke, and the artist Ai Weiwei.
The conversations work in tandem with MAD's proposals to reveal their essential account of the architect's practice and experience inside of China, the fastest urbanization in world history
Dutch designer Marcel Wanders is undeniably one of the most prolific and celebrated international designers today. Marcel Wanders: Behind the Ceiling is the highly anticipated first monograph on the star designer. It charts his provocative body of work and stellar career.
Wanders has garnered fame through his ingenious talent, turning conceptual visions into stunning products and dazzling environments by fusing cutting-edge technology, artistry and a love of the bizarre. Wanders’ designs are characteristically buoyant and imbued with his signature irony and quirky dry wit that evoke imagination; nevertheless, his furniture, lighting, interior designs, tableware, decorative porcelain and ceramic vases are unpretentiously urbane.
Lavishly printed, this book showcases Marcel Wanders’ work over the past decade. It features tableware for the renowned Dutch porcelain manufacturers Tichelaar Makkum and Royal Delft, as well as his personal art editions such as his acclaimed oversized ceramic bells, crochet seating and sculptures launched by his own studio. In addition, it presents textiles and furniture he has designed for an extensive client list including brands such as B&B Italia, Poliform, Moroso, Cappellini, Droog as well as Moooi, of which he is also Art Director and co-owner. An entertainer at heart, his theatrical performances and installations are also included, which prove his exceptional skill at amplifying experience with mesmerising environments.
The book also introduces designs for interiors and architecture such as the extraordinary “all over city” hospitality-concept Lute Suites he established in Amsterdam as well as unpublished projects, including the new Mondrian South Beach Hotel in Miami and the Villa Moda flagship store in Bahrain, scheduled to open its doors in 2009.
Marcel Wanders: Behind the Ceiling includes stunning photographs and sketches, and accompanying text along with abundant quotes from the designer himself offers a first-hand account of Wanders’ irresistible universe.
The first large-format monograph on the interiors and building projects of Marcel Wanders, one of the most original designers working today. Marcel Wanders’s distinctive output combines a flair for the theatrical with a unique understanding of space that has vaulted him into the top ranks of contemporary design. His interiors projects range from iconic hotels like the Mondrian South Beach in Miami, to fairy-tale private residences in Amsterdam, Mallorca, and Jakarta. Developed integrally with his product design, his spaces incorporate a romantic, monumental sensibility that has redefined interior design. Starting with his work for the Morgans boutique hotel chain (The Rivington in New York) and the London flagship for Mandarina Duck, Wanders’s work has spread to four continents. He also has recently partnered with Philippe Starck’s and John Hitchcox’s design-focused property development brand, yoo. The interiors developed by his Marcel Wanders Studio are drawn from a graphic tradition that combines the everyday with the ornamental, and these inspirational sources will be harnessed to create an unprecedented interior design volume.
About the Author:
Marcel Wanders is the founding principal of Marcel Wanders Studio, an interdisciplinary design practice based in Amsterdam.
In Mario Botta's architectural opus light, space and silence are as structural and essential elements. Light generates and articulates space; natural light brings plastic forms to life, shapes the surfaces of materials, controls and balances geometric lines. These values and properties are characteristic features of Mario Botta's buildings and this monograph expands on how they used and to what effect.
An admirer of Le Corbusier, in whose studio he briefly worked, and one of the most internationally renowned Swiss architects, Mario Botta has been described as a modern baroque architect. Whether elaborate or unostentatious, his buildings exude dignity, generosity and Mediterranean charm, and exercise a fascinating visual attraction. The Complete Works of Mario Botta by Birkhäuser is the only edition authorised by the architect himself, and has established itself as the international standard reference work on the subject. Volume 2 provides comprehensive documentation of Botta's works from 1985 - 1990, complete with extensive catalogues of his projects, exhibitions and publications.
The aim of the collection is to offer a series of short monographs which, though brief, nevertheless deal with all aspects of the master's personality: works, constructed or otherwise, primary written sources, critiques and photographic interpretations. The underlying aim is to offer an in-depth, comprehensive overview targeted at anyone interested in learning about architecture including students, professionals or simply those who are interested in the subject, by providing not only basic information but also guidance in terms of gaining more insight into the subject.
The volumes are dedicated to some of the best known modern and contemporary architects.
Contents:
A portfolio, a description of the role of the architect, the works, the projects, the underlying philosophy, essays by the architect, photographs as interpretation of architecture, selected critiques about the architect and a bibliography

A celebration of the career of the late interior designer Mark Hampton (1940–1998), whom the New York Times called "an icon of American Style."
In the tradition of Albert Hadley and David Hicks, this is a comprehensive look at the career of the late Mark Hampton, one of the most famous and admired American interior designers of the twentieth century. A classic American success story, Hampton grew up in small-town Indiana and went on to worldwide fame. He began his career working for some of the greatest interior designers of the age: Mrs. Henry Parish II, David Hicks, and McMillen, Inc. He later went on to design for such clients as Brooke Astor, Estee Lauder, Jacqueline Onassis, and the Henry Kissingers, in addition to his work on the White House, Camp David, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, and the American Academy in Rome. Known for the tremendous depth and breadth of his knowledge, Hampton refused to be pigeonholed into a trademark style, moving effortlessly from sleek modernism to English country and back again. A highly popular lecturer who drew crowds, Hampton was also the author of two books, as well as a designer of both furniture and fabrics.
Rich with original materials including Hampton’s watercolors, sketches, and notebooks, as well as hundreds of images of Hampton’s important commissions, and impeccably researched and intimately written by his widow, Duane Hampton, this will be a visual feast for everyone interested in interiors as well as an important addition to the history of interior design.

This volume, while illustrating visually the more important of the works he produced between 1970 and 1990, tends to focus chiefly on the ones constructed over the last fifteen years which have earned him the international standing he enjoys today. The new Ferrari headquarters at Maranello, the “bubble” buildings for Nardini, the Armani stores in Singapore, Hong Kong and Milan, a new commercial building in Turin and the new seat of regional government in Piedmont, the Peace Center in Jaffa commissioned by Shimon Peres and Yasir Arafat, the new Conference Centre in Rome, the Twin Towers in Vienna and the shopping malls in Salzburg and Hanover are just some of the works realized in these years, culminating in the new Milan Trade Fair, the largest in Europe and a symbol of the city’s revival, inaugurated just a few months ago. The volume shows the works and projects he has produced at a feverish pace, arranging them in the form of a story told in acrylics and including sketches, drawings, structural details and photographic reportages, along with a series of short, exclusive interviews with some of the clients who have played an important part in Fuksas’s work in recent years, from Giorgio Armani to Walter Veltroni and the Nardini family.
