Imagine a world in which every location offers its very own unique adventure: an unusual location, a breathtaking decor, an experimental concept. This stunning 500-page full-colour illustrated book is packed with photographic spreads which celebrate the world's most amazing hotels, bizarre bars, eccentric restaurants and extreme venues. Sleep underwater, grab a drink in a tree, dine up in the air or party in an igloo. Stay overnight in a sewer pipe, a church or a hobbit house - it isn't just Alice that goes down rabbit holes these days!
Factories are truly radical structures, purely pragmatic boxes, spaces for machines that execute clearly defined production processes. When functionality means everything – and budget is limited – architecture finds itself taking on a fascinating role.
This volume tellingly shows in what creative and surprising ways architects around the world approach this topic. When architectural stars or declared specialists in the field go to work, the factory becomes an aesthetic object and the calling card of any company.
The buildings featured here are factories that easily transcend their functional shells. On hand of richly illustrated projects, this volume documents this typology as a treatise of great architects and subtle means, which reveals high quality in the planning and realization of architectural concepts.

Historical farmhouses, quadrangular farms and castle farms form an important part of the heritage of the Low Countries.
More and more interior designers, architects, restorers and private individuals with a passion for old buildings are realising that this heritage must not be lost.
Now that there is a constant decrease in the number of active farms, more ancient farmhouses are finding new owners. They are being restored to make contemporary residential farms, with all modern comforts and luxury, but with the authentic character and the surrounding natural landscape as additional bonuses.
This book is a plea for a reassessment of this rich, rural architectural history. Whether it’s a seventeenth-century convent farm, a nineteenth-century long-fronted farmhouse, or the stylistically faithful reproduction of an authentic eighteenth-century farm complex, these unique creations all combine the past and the present, the house and its rural surroundings in a stunning way.

Buildings for emergency services have evolved into an independent and fascinating architectural typology in the past two decades. Since the opening of the spectacular fire station for the Vitra factory by Zaha Hadid, police stations, fire departments and rescue services increasingly consist of architecturally amazing buildings. These are always an attractive challenge – when functional demands and high-security measures are brought in sync with stylish modern design, the results reflect the highest levels of architectural skills.
All three building types share the fact that they act as starting points for quick motorized dispatches. The featured buildings sometimes combine several institutions that are creatively situated under a single roof. The selected examples present the wonderful diversity of contemporary “emergency architecture”. The range extends from the rural two-bay fire station via the metropolitan police headquarters to the helicopter rescue center.

Flexible architecture adapts to new uses, responds to change rather than stagnating, and is motive rather than static. Understanding how it has been conceived, designed, made and used helps us understand its potential in solving current and future problems associated with technological, social and economic change.
This book explores the whole genre of flexible architecture - buildings that are intended to respond to evolving situations in their form, operation or location. Alongside the historic background of the genre, "Flexible" looks at four distinct methods by which buildings can be made to respond to user's requirements: Adapt, Transform, Move and Interact.
Crossing the boundaries between architecture, interior design, product design and furniture design, this innovative book is the first to deal with the entire scope of the topic and will appeal to a wide range of readers in these areas.

Soccer in Germany - that means Bundesliga action between Bayern Munich and Schalke 04 or Hertha BSC Berlin against Hamburger SV. It also means the Champions League and UEFA Cup, as well as the international games between the national teams. Soccer in Germany - it means social places where local identity and social history crystallize. Modern stadiums are architectural masterpieces focused on research, logistics, statics, flexibility and emotion. Stadiums of this magnitude must be capable of admitting thousands of spectators within just a few minutes, they must ensure the safety of the giant structural surfaces in all kinds of weather, and, at the same time, they must provide visitors with the feeling of optimism, pride and a connection with the stadium. Last but not least, soccer stadiums are probably the last remaining places in which all social classes meet. Laborers, students, retirees, politicians, CEOs, entrepreneurs - all are united on the stadium stands. Including all 12 stadiums which are scene of the FIFA World Championship 2006, presented under the architectural focus. Plans and sketches are enclosed as well as an index of the designers and architects.

Graft in architecture refers to any designs added to existing or neglected structures, reinvigorating tired spaces with new life. Instead of dismissing these spaces as simply ‘functional’, graft in architecture values them for their potential and shows how we can turn negative spaces into opportunities to breathe new life into architecture.
Along with the Design Research & Innovation Laboratory (D-Lab), Professor Jin-Ho Park highlights four projects and the process involved in grafting, from conception to fabrication, along with plans, drawings, and photographs detailing every aspect and consideration.
Using inventive ideas and experimental approaches, Professor Park demonstrates the benefits graft in architecture can bring to any space.

We tend to view the activity of playing as a non-serious pursuit - kids' stuff - with neither transcendence nor goal. We should remember, however, how much we ourselves learned during our earliest years while playing. Playing and learning are crucial for a child's development; and providing good play opportunities is a way to directly contribute to achieving this fundamental goal in the first stages of life. Not only do children release energy and develop motor skills, balance and coordination through play, but they also forge their personalities through social activities while stimulating creativity, the capacity to reason and language skills. Through play, children create custom-made realities and experiences. They learn to resolve problematic situations, confront new challenges and set their sights on new goals, all of which foments their capacity to organize, plan and make decisions. Play activities, therefore, are invaluable "dress rehearsals" for their future lives.
Sustainability is at the core of LPA’s work and company culture. Sustainable design practised at LPA is an integrated ‘holistic’ process that is treated no different than any other program element.
This book documents a process of planning, design, construction and operations of K–12 schools where appropriate sustainable solutions can be a part of every school regardless of budget or program. Through an extensive step-by-step planning and design process and a series of built case studies, all stakeholders in the school planning process will see how an integrated holistic process can achieve sustainable goals that are in balance with budget and other constraints.
Case studies cover renovations and new construction that are at the forefront of a considerable change in the culture of school planning – a change from added cost to added value. Sharing the success of these schools will ensure that there are thousands of sustainable schools in our future for the next generation of students.
