A garden, whether small or large, is made up of many different elements and details. Grouping these design elements is like a recipe: choosing a balance of the right details creates a perfect garden in any space. Garden Details breaks down the elements of garden design and shows how each can be used to create unique garden spaces. It includes ideas for a multitude of garden elements — from distinctive stonewalls and manicured formal lines to artistic whimsy and colour-coordinated borders — in a variety of garden types ranging from water gardens through to drought-tolerant dry gardens. Marg Thornell’s sumptuous photographs transport you from one garden to the next — in locations as diverse as Australia, England, Europe and the United States — and reveal how to make the most of your own garden space. This valuable sourcebook can be used in many ways: from browsing for inspiration with nothing particular in mind to a more purposeful search to help with a particular project on the drawing board. Garden Details is a book to immerse yourself in — to motivate you to create the garden paradise you want and deserve. Whether you are a complete novice or a professional landscape designer, Garden Details will provide you with all the ideas and inspiration you need to make your garden truly spectacular.

From its origins as a leading proponent of the 'Sydney School of Architecture' in the 1960's, COX Architects & Planners (COX) has grown to become one of Australia's largest and most successful practices with hundreds of projects and awards, spanning four continents. COX Architects & Planners is the most comprehensive overview to date of this journey. Featuring some 90 key projects and the work of leading Australian photographers such as Max Dupain and Patrick Bingham-Hall, this monograph eschews elements of the highly technical approach that typifies many architectural publications. Instead, its non-chronological construction is like that of a photographic essay, one that explores the poetry of COX's design and its ability to adapt to a truly international range of urban, environmental and social contexts. COX Architects & Planners also threads a connection between the distinct Australian vernacular that characterizes the practice's earlier projects, such as CB Alexander College Tocal and the Uluru township of Yulara, and its most recent commissions wherein technology, design and engineering coalesce to produce exciting and environmentally responsive organic forms. Current projects such as the DNA-like structure of Singapore Marina Bay Bridge and the Melbourne Football Stadium's lightweight-steel Bio Frame are key examples in this regard. Punctuating the book's photographic narrative are essays by established and emerging architectural critics Sandra Kaji-O'Grady, Anna Johnson and Stuart Harrison. These critics explore a range of issues, including: the conundrum of operating a large-scale, international architectural practice; the structurally expressive sports buildings for which COX is renowned; and the role of COX in the evolution of contemporary Australian architecture. A foreword by practice founder Professor Philip Cox АО discusses the milestones and philosophy that have been emblematic of COX's work over the past 40 years, and those that will guide it into the future.

Over its 20-year history, the ASSAR Group has had a major impact on the cityscape of Brussels. The firm's projects to date include offices, housing, industrial buildings, research laboratories, retail, new buildings and renovation, urban planning, interior design and programming. ASSAR's success is a result of its desire to design a contemporary, contextually appropriate architecture. This monograph features some of ASSAR's major projects, including headquarters for well-known companies such as AXA Belgium, ING Bank, L'Oreal, Robert Bosch and UCB, as well as several research laboratories including a substantial facility for GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals. Other projects featured include Belgium's first new military academy in more than a century and the new NATO headquarters (in association with SOM). Active in the development market — as demonstrated by three MIPIM Awards won in Cannes, France, in 2000, 2005 and 2008 for Residence Novalis, Mondrian and Madou Plaza respectively — ASSAR has participated in and won numerous competitions. Today ASSAR is involved in projects around the world — in locations such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Switzerland, Hungary, Luxembourg and Algeria — and continues to participate in large international competitions. ASSAR's projects are distinguished not by a particular style or signature, but by a concern for timeless quality, efficiency and dialogue.

Penthouses and their luxury apartment counterparts have always had a glamorous history. They speak of prestige, luxury living high in the sky and of course a certain amount of social elevation. Heiresses, millionaires, media moguls and movie stars have known of the exclusivity, mystery, sophistication and symbolism of high-rise living for decades, ever since Marjorie Merriweather Post Hutton commissioned a 54-room triplex on New York's Fifth Avenue in 1925 with a silver room, a wine room, and a cold storage for her furs. Eighty years on, such places have become the ultimate architectural expression of success, or at least inner urban living at its very best. They also offer some of the most extraordinary views in residential living. View From The Top goes inside the private spaces of some of the world's most magnificent penthouses and apartments and offers a rare insight into not only the designs and lifestyles experienced in these palatial 'mansions in the sky.

This book presents six case-study buildings, each more than a generation old, that were on the brink of oblivion. In each case, Mitchell Giurgola Architects worked closely with the client to determine how the project could be salvaged by incorporating updated program elements to serve a new generation of users. All six case studies present in detail how each project is analysed, from its energy use and curtain-wall performance to its mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, and structural stability. The results are born-again buildings created for a fraction of the cost and cosuming far fewer materials than a new facility built from scratch. Mitchell Giurgola documents a new, more sustainable approach to design and construction that builds on the past, and makes the old better than new.

Lucien Lagrange: The Search for Elegance is the story of one architect's mid-course adjustment, a journey of discovery from Modern to Classical and back again, from disillusionment to renewed inspiration. At the heart of the book are Lucien Lagrange's projects, stunningly captured by William Zbaren and elucidated by Robert Sharoff in detailed captions and a critical essay that provides background and context. Finally, there is a wide-ranging conversation with Lagrange where he discusses his early years at Skidmore Owings & Merrill and his subsequent career as one of Chicago's most prominent architects. Lucien Lagrange: The Search for Elegance will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of architecture and design in the Post-Modern era as well as the evolution of one of America's most important cities. It will be of particular interest to those interested in the role history and context play in contemporary architecture and the opportunities they provide for innovative design.

Long before the international community recognised C.Y. Lee as the architect of the world's tallest skyscraper — the 508-metre-tall Taipei 101 — his distinct buildings were already turning heads in Asia. Taking his cues from Chinese pagodas, old, square-holed Chinese copper coins, and even the shape of Chinese characters, C.Y. Lee has developed a brand of modern Chinese architecture that few of his compatriots can match. In the mid-1980s, after more than a decade of working as an architect in the US, C.Y. Lee returned to Taiwan with the intention of creating something distinct. Since that time, C.Y. Lee's memorable buildings have successfully fused the traditional with the modern, firmly placing him among today's architectural innovators. This major monograph presents the firm's major projects in full colour, with architects' sketches, plans and descriptive text. It includes a number of pieces written by C.Y. Lee.

Peter Gisolfi is an architect, landscape architect and educator whose substantial design practice extends over 20 years. Most of his work consists of carefully crafted buildings that relate to a larger setting. A variety of public and private projects completed throughout the United States are featured in this first monograph. The projects in this book are organised thematically as landscapes and buildings, gardens and houses, campuses, townscapes, and transformations. The common threads in these projects are that indoor and outdoor spaces are created in harmony with each other, that buildings are placed to define outdoor spaces, and that natural context and man-made context strongly influence the design. From an understanding and response to these factors comes a timeless and permanent architecture.
