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.

Summary:
The book is designed to give a stimulating idea of the current direction of international interior design. Nigel Coates has selected approximately 30 international designers whose work he thinks is especially interesting. The book presents a selection of work by these designers in such a way that the relations between different designers are brought out as well as broader themes in current interior design. While each selected project is featured over a series of pages, the same project may crop up at various other points through book. The purpose of this is to draw comparisons between each project by letting them cross over into one another’s territory. Hence the title: ‘Collidoscope’. As such, it works both as a sourcebook with reference to current tendencies in design and to the ideas that underpin them. It foregrounds the designers while raising challenging differences and overlaps between them.

Summary:
There may be no more conspicuous sign of luxury (some might say decadence) than an over-the-top design of that most utilitarian of spaces, the lavatory. Restaurants, hotels, clubs, and similar clients have increasingly seen the restroom as a manifestation of corporate culture and an expression of their attitude toward customers or employers, as well as an easy buzz generator. "Flush!" is a book for anyone with more than a mere passing interest in concepts for comfort when nature calls, and includes over 40 examples of innovative design for washrooms and a survey of the latest trends in restroom design. An introduction with examples from history - including film, art, and literature - provides an entertaining introduction to the culture of the lavatory.
