This light-hearted but highly informative photographic journey reveals the idiosyncrasy and inventiveness that characterize the construction of the humble toilet around the globe. Along the way, the reader encounters every possible permutation, from the traditional English ‘thunderbox’ to the Swazi thatched ‘beehive’ hut, and discovers the cultural and historical differences that can make our travels to other countries so enjoyable.

Ce livre, richement illustré, veut rendre compte de la diversité des édifices dévolus à la pratique du sport et contribuer à la connaissance des enjeux et des contraintes relatifs à leur création.

La première partie attire l'attention sur les problématiques spécifiques rencontrées au cours de l'élaboration d'un projet d'installation sportive, et souligne les besoins liés à la pratique du sport et les attentes des usagers ainsi que les précautions de conception, de mise en assure et de sécurité dont il convient de s'entourer pour aborder la construction d'équipements sportifs. La seconde partie de l'ouvrage réunit quinze réalisations exemplaires, françaises et étrangères, d'échelle variée - grands stades, piscine olympique, patinoire, mais aussi équipements de proximité tels que dojo, gymnases ou salles d'escalade - et représentatives des tendances actuelles de l'architecture sportive.

The popular image of the winery remains the picturesque European chateau, but a growing number of winemakers around the world are seeking a fresh approach.

This book by well-known architectural writer Michael Webb contains a selection of wineries designed by architects such as Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Renzo Piano, Steven Holl, Herzog & de Meuron, Santiago Calatrava, Rafael Moneo, Glenn Murcutt, Norman Foster and more. Each project has been carefully chosen for its architectural excellence and offers a new perspective on an age-old craft, and an adventurous approach to building. The locations are evocative: California, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Austria, Spain, Chile and Argentina.

He plans his trips with exhaustive research on the hotels of his destination and even stays at several different ones during the same trip to one city. His favorite hotels are those places that have a certain special quality, ranging from New York's kitschy Maritime to Budapest's classic Gellert to Zurich's brand-spanking new Zurichberg. Chang's most-loved finds are documented in beautiful photographs, his hand drawn floor plans, and personal texts in Hotel as Home. He presents thirty-five hotels from around the world in this atmospheric book — from the Hotel 101 in Reykjavik to the Hotel Le Corbusier in Marseilles, the Soho House Hotel in New York, the W Hotel in Sydney, the Four Seasons in Tokyo, and the Hotel Metropolitan in Bangkok.
