Summary:
"Design for Education" is a survey of modern learning environments -- from universities to primary schools. Introduced by Andrew Blum, a contributing editor at Metropolis, the book focuses on education's need for facilities that effectively support learning and accommodate growth and change over time. At a time when the education sector in developed countries is dealing with new budget realities, the book considers alternatives such as building repositioning and multipurpose, 24/7 facilities. In high-growth developing countries, it looks at the new campuses of international institutions. Seventeen case studies provide a detailed survey of the education sector's current range of facilities. For each project, the case studies document client intent, design response, key features, and highlights of actual or expected performance. Illustrated, the book serves as a guide to the state of the art of academic facilities for a range of pubic and private institutions.

Summary:
L’architecte Le Corbusier (1887-1965) est également connu dans le monde entier pour les meubles qu’il a dessinés. Le fauteuil grand confort LC2 ou la chaise longue LC4 – conçus tous deux en 1928 en collaboration avec Pierre Jeanneret et Charlotte Perriand – comptent parmi les classiques du mobilier moderne et sont produits encore aujourd’hui. De nombreux ouvrages ont été publiés sur les réalisations architecturales de Le Corbusier et les meubles emblématiques de la fin des années 1920, mais ce qu’il a imaginé et créé dans le domaine de l’aménagement d’intérieur n’a jamais été traité dans sa globalité. La présente publication vient combler cette lacune. Les essais du début retracent l’évolution de Le Corbusier en tant qu’architecte d’intérieur, depuis les premiers travaux classicisants jusqu’aux réalisations minimalistes de la maturité, en passant par les célèbres manifestes des années 1920 et 1930. La collaboration avec Pierre Jeanneret et Charlotte Perriand est également analysée en détail.

Summary:
There is a revolution currently underway in the world of wine. Established and new vintners are discovering the dual marketing advantage of coupling exquisite, name-brand designer architecture with the winery tour. Internationally renowned architects, such as Frank Gehry, Herzog & de Meuron, and Santiago Calatrava, have all designed wineries that focus on the experience of wine production for the visitor while providing brand recognition in the form of architecture. Celebrating the new alignment that the wine industry is making with design, "Wine by design" highlights the most exciting new designs for wineries and spaces of wine from throughout the world including Australia, Chile, USA, Canada and the established vineyards of Europe. It also emphasises the way design is making headway into wine retail and wine bars, as well as the trend for conspicuously displayed spaces for the storage and consumption of wine.

Summary:
The newly built Mas d’Enric penitentiary sparks a series of reflections on architecture’s role in the problematic subject of prison design. The prison is an uncomfortable institution and its architecture is often subjugated to technocratic criteria. This servility forces the prison out of the socio-cultural realm where it belongs, thus erasing it from public discourse.(...)

Summary:
The newly built Mas d’Enric penitentiary sparks a series of reflections on architecture’s role in the problematic subject of prison design. The prison is an uncomfortable institution and its architecture is often subjugated to technocratic criteria. This servility forces the prison out of the socio-cultural realm where it belongs, thus erasing it from public discourse. “Mas d’Enric” is a new penitentiary that overturns preconceptions and posits architecture as a medium to critically rethink contemporary prison buildings.

Summary:
"Retail & Interior Design" is about branding, design, experience and emotion, theatricality, continuity and sustainability. Developments in interior architecture and retail design in the last decade have been gripping. Although architecture has long been renowned as the ‘mother of the art’, interior architecture has always been regarded as a tradition of decoration or arrangement, but retail design has extended its boundaries beyond the arrangement or decoration of space. The design process starts with analysis of the brand identity and finishes only when delivery is completed. Included in and completing this process are components such as visual merchandising, lighting, circulation and all forms of communication relevant to the retail space. The essays in "Retail & Interior Design" give an impression of the diversity of retail design, the profession of retail designer and the MA course Retail & Interior Design at the Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam. The publication contains contributions by Lieven De Cauter, Marc Dubois, Mark van der Geest, Rodney Fitch, Patrick Kruithof, Hans van der Loo, Luc Pauwels, and Michel van Tongeren.
