Whether around, besides, on top of, or even in buildings, in populated areas or in the countryside, landscape architecture develops and designs outdoor spaces for humans as independent creations. It mediates between nature and architecture and connects the grown and the planned habitat, balancing function and aesthetics. Against the backdrop of climate change, the central task today is the conservation of natural resources and the creation of sustainable, high-quality green spaces.

A reference work and source of inspiration, this compendium provides an overview of the entire spectrum of this discipline based on projects around the world. Their common denominator is the design of ecologically and socially intact living space. Almost exactly ten years after the publishing of the Atlas of World Landscape Architecture, this new publication takes stock of the developments of the last decade.

The Guggenheim Museum designed by Frank O. Gehry was the magnificent catalyst of a building boom at the end of the last millennium. Since that time, the architecture itself, whether new buildings, renovations or reconstructions, significantly contributes to the attractiveness of a museum and its surroundings. This title presents more than 170 museums, constituting a cross-section of the possibly most interesting and diverse building assignments of our time – whether elegant, daring, or experimental, depending on the institution and the area of specialization.

In addition, the volume also presents the history of the collections, explains the origins of the collection base and highlights key exhibits. The background of each museum is presented along with educational or conservation goals. The book presents the most diverse museum types – from company and corporate museums, via technology and natural science museums, up to literature and history museums, and, of course, a multitude of art museums.

The re-use of buildings is not only natural and necessary, it's amazing. This book offers a selection of churches, convents and monasteries converted for new uses. Preserving their old structure and very special rooms, these buildings have become modern and luminous spaces: art centers, galleries, hotels, theaters, lofts, houses, commercial buildings, and more. Converted churches shows 35 highly suggestive projects, as a result of this contrast between the original shell and the modern elements, transformed by renowned or just brilliant architects and designers such as Jean Nouvel, Luis Vicente Flores, Matthew Lloyd Architects or Paredes Pedrosa.

COOP HIMMELB(L)AU s projects include recent urban structures like the BMW Welt, Munich (2001 07), the Musée des Confluences, Lyon (2001 10), and the European Central Bank, Frankfurt (2003 11). These and many others are presented through photographs, renderings, planning materials and sketches and offer the reader a look at realized structures as well as construction projects that are still in the planning stages. Texts from Jeffrey Kipnis, Sylvia Lavin and Peter Noever highlight the relationships between the specific work of COOP HIMMELB(L)AU and architecture, history, literature, film and art. Project-specific and programmatic texts from COOP HIMMELB(L)AU offer an in-depth look at the conceptual practices of the architects, whose work is some of the most innovative and important of our time.

Cox Architects is world-renowned for many aspects of its work, not the least of which has been extending an Australian architectural ethos beyond houses and into large-scale projects such as the Yulara Tourist Resort in Uluru. It is also recognised for creating dramatic and sculptural buildings in steel such as the Brisbane and Sydney Exhibition Centres, the Olympic Aquatic Centre and Superdome, and the Australian National Maritime Museum. In concentrating on work produced in the last five years, this publication profiles and explores the much broader idiom in which Cox Architects practices. The book is divided into two sections, the first comprising a series of essays on the nature of different project types and the second describing recent and current projects, putting philosophy into practice. While the projects have been selected for their diversity of problem solving, client requirements, context and scale, they reveal some constant passions for enriching the city and landscape, for harnessing new technologies, and for imparting environmental sensitivity and cultural relevance to the built environment.

The work of Dennis Lau & Ng Chun Man Architects & Engineers (DLN) is a search for an architecture that respects and blends into society. It seeks to anticipate the evolving needs of the community at large and to respond to the perception, sensitivity and culture of the individuals who become the end-users. DLN's architecture is motivated by an appreciation of these complex functional and social requirements that it seeks to convert into space and form. The large office, residential and mixed-use projects designed by DLN have become increasingly well-known city landmarks. This monograph features diverse projects that include the YKK Industrial Building, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, the Hong Kong Government Office and Magistrate's Courts, CITIC Plaza, as well as hotels, residential, and institutional projects.
