Summary:
All the great cities of the world have witnessed the birth of bars and restaurants in the image of a new generation - a free and pleasure-loving generation who frequent them and identify with them. Today leading architects and designers have yielded to the temptation to try their hands at what was yesterday still considered a minor genre. From Philippe Starck to Aldo Rossi, from Gaetano Pesce to Ron Arad, all have enthusiastically taken part in this new adventure in design. This book offers nineteen lively places, often colourful and impertinent, always lively and playful, in a host of cities from New York to Mexico City, from London to Barcelona.

Summary:
Bicycles as a means of transport in cities are playing an ever more important role. The reasons are: reduction of motorcar traffic, sustainable traffic planning, reduction of noise and exhaust emissions, enhancement of the value of public space, healthier form of transport, savings potential in national health services and infrastructure expenditure.

Summary:
A spectacular showcase of the leading-edge architectural designs from the multidisciplinary, Los Angeles-based design practice. Hernán Díaz Alonso is one of the most influential and innovative architects working today. Director of one of the leading architecture schools in the USA, his visionary schemes span all scales, from silverware to master plans.

This showcase of works presents the practice’s major designs since 2001, including plans for Helsinki Library, Budapest Museum and major architecture projects in Barcelona.

This volume emerged after years of visiting different architects’ studios and noticing how life intermingles with work. The publication seeks to add to the description of work-life spaces through an explanation of projects in progress at a given time in the featured studio.

This first edition features Flores & Prats, an architectural practice in Barcelona founded by Eva Prats and Ricardo Flores in 1998. The two combine design and constructive practice with academic activity.
