Summary:
This first monograph from Dutch architect and urban planner Kees Christiaanse and his firm, Kees Christiaanse Architects & Planners, or KCAP, follows the conception and realization of their most important designs. KCAP works at the interface between urban planning and architecture, combining the fields. Their broad range of projects includes large-scale urban and landscape planning, complex inner city regeneration and restructuring, and the same sorts of new building commissions that keep conventional architects in business. As Europe’s attention has shifted to the revival of urban areas, KCAP has done pioneering work at former dockland and industrial locations and on the waterfronts of major rivers, in projects where the firm often acts as supervisor, urban planner and architect at once. In the space of 15 years, KCAP has grown into an international office with an impressive built oeuvre that challenges the way architecture and urban planning are conceived. This survey and analysis of their work brings their ideas and experience to readers curious about urban revival both abroad and at home.

Summary:
The Ashmolean Museum in Oxford is the oldest museum in the country, however, behind a distinguished facade by CR Cockerell lies a confused accretion of buildings that neither does justice to Cockerell nor develops the full potential of the Museum. By 2008 the museum will have doubled its floor space with six new storeys of galleries, education and conservation centres, and a roof top restaurant. This is just the latest in a long line of distinguished projects that have seen Rick Mather Architects become one of the most influential and well respected firms in the world today. "Rick Mather architects" explores the full scope of the 500 projects that the office has undertaken over the past 33 years. Best known for their award winning museum extensions, such as the Dulwich Picture Gallery and the National Maritime Museum, and their major new expansion to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, USA, which is currently on site and due to complete in 2008, their portfolio spans a broad spectrum of projects including residential and student housing, masterplans, of which the first phase of their masterplan for London’s South Bank is nearing completion, including both renovations and new buildings. Essays by architectural historian and former Dean of Architecture at Princeton, Robert Maxwell; architect and structural engineer Tim Macfarlane, renowned for his pioneering work in structural glass; and Patrick Bellew, distinguished for his commitment to ‘green’ engineering, form the backbone of this study. As a firm Rick Mather Architects bridges the space between the street and the interior, the old and the new, infusing their buildings with a distinct architectural identity. They are renowned for their intuitive sense of place and context, as well as their pioneering technologies in structural glass and sustainable design. Rick Mather Architects draws on Mather’s original plans and drawings and does full justice to the firm’s unique subtlety.

Joseph Gandy’s life is in many respects the familiar saga of genius unrecognized. Upon his death he seemed to the world, and to himself, a failure. Having begun his career with high hopes, great imagination and exceptional talent, he ended it in a state of neglect and obscurity.

Summary:
Joseph Gandy’s life is in many respects the familiar saga of genius unrecognized. Upon his death he seemed to the world, and to himself, a failure. Having begun his career with high hopes, great imagination and exceptional talent, he ended it in a state of neglect and obscurity. A century and a half later Gandy is recognized as one of the most original figures of English romanticism. Works such as "Pandemonium" or "Tomb of Merlin" have a hypnotic power that he brought to bear on Sir John Soane’s bizarre "Monk’s Parlour" at his renowned house-musuem in Lincoln’s Inn and on the lost masterpiece of Soane’s Bank of England in the City of London, buildings that we have come to see through Gandy’s eyes. Brian Lukacher, the acknowledged authority on Gandy, has now written the definitive life of this architect-artist who exemplified the cultural temper of the romantic period. It is a fresh, deeply researched biography and a critical assessment of Gandy’s work in its historical context. It is a tragic story but also an inspiring one, and a significant episode in the history of the architectural imagination and the visual arts during the nineteenth century.

Summary:
Disapproved of by the critics and extremely nonconformist, Carlo Mollino expressed himself through his architectural designs, his furniture and interiors, in a language assimilated from futurism and surrealism. The influence of architects ranging from Gaudí to Mendelsohn, from Aalto to Le Corbusier, can be seen in his highly individual designs. Projects such as the sledge-lift station at Lago Nero, the Teatro Regio in Turin and the Lutrario ballroom demonstrated his exceptional powers of imagination. The interaction between Mollino’s professional activities and his many interests, which included aeronautics, downhill racing, set design and eroticism. With the demolition of his massive masterpiece, the Ippica in Turin, and the destruction of his most prestigious interiors, all that remains today of Mollino’s work is his furniture. Drawing on rare photographs and documents, this important monograph reconstructs Mollino’s work through more than eighty interiors and pieces of furniture spanning his career, pieces built with such bravura that they often resemble sculpture more than works of industrial design.

Summary:
In the coming years, “Novartis Campus” is destined to fundamentally alter the appearance and character of the Novartis plant located in the Johan quarter of Basel Stadt – transforming the former production site into a centre of knowledge, innovation and encounter. Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani's master-plan envisages having particular buildings designed and constructed by invited architects. This monograph focuses on the first building in the Novartis Campus. Designed and built by Roger Diener, Helmut Federle and Gerold Wiederin, the impressive house has a glass facade with staggered coloured windowpanes and exquisite interiors. The different aspects of the building are highlighted by Vittorio Magnago Lampugnani, Martin Steinmann, Jan Thorn-Prikker and Ulrike Jehle-Schulte Strathaus. The volume also includes an essay by Christian Richters, illustrated by photographs, numerous plans and an inventory.
