Summary:
At a time when modern architecture has become a means for cities to up their game and raise their cultural profile on the world stage, Toronto is coming into its own. Fully entrenched in a design renaissance that is dramatically changing the face and space of the city, Toronto is now a welcome playground for celebrated local talent and international star architects. While some cities can be immediately defined by a specific style, Toronto is distinguished instead by a fusion of contemporary architecture, heritage preservation and sustainable urban design. A true mosaic of architecture and culture, Toronto is a city learning to recognise and celebrate its diversity – it is a city set to rediscover itself. "Design city : Toronto" showcases over thirty exemplary contemporary interior and architectural projects, both complete and underway. These range from hip restaurants and bars by Toronto-based practices to major institutional buildings completed by the likes of Will Alsop, Behnisch, Behnisch & Partners, Foster and Partners, Frank Gehry, Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg and Daniel Libeskind. Written in an engaging and lively manner, the book is illustrated with new photography by Tom Arban. It also provides a neighbourhood overview and biographies of featured designers.

Summary:
The Arts and Crafts Movement, founded in the philosophies of John Ruskin and William Morris, produced some of the world’s most enduring architectural masterpieces. Author and architect David Cole presents the 100 great Arts and Crafts houses, each individually described and analysed with insightful detail and floor plans, and illustrated with stunning photography. Beginning with Morris’s own iconic Red House, the book traces the fifty-year span of the movement, with a short chapter dedicated to each of these extraordinary houses: from the works of the pioneer Arts and Crafts architects, to the great reformer architects of the next generation, to the craftsman architects who took their lives and their work to the countryside, to the movement’s Scottish architects, and finally to the houses of the Garden Cities and suburbs built through the movement’s last decade before the First World War.

Summary:
The book describes the history of the construction of the original factory, on the other, its architectural restoration and transformation. Attention is paid to the history of the Van Nelle Company and its relation to the dynamic development of the harbour of Rotterdam. The inspirations and the life of director and patron Kees van der Leeuw are dealt with in some detail, and for the first time, the architecture, in which Van der Leeuw was involved, is positioned in a broader spiritual context. The design of the factory was not purely functional, but forms and colours seem to reflect a theosophical search for a higher level, which comes out, for one, in the analysis of the interiors. In addition to the illuminating descriptions of the construction process, shown in many contemporary photographs, the book examines the evolving social aspects of the time, the working conditions of the factory personnel and the well thought out logistics of the production process. The entire production process is reconstructed in a large fold-out drawing. The book also gives a great deal of consideration to influence of photography on the conceptualization of the complex and the questions that architectural historians have been posing for years. For example, the question of whether or not Mart Stam was the actual author of Van Nelle is answered in substantial detail. The problems of the modern day monument and the role of building conservation, the developer and the modern day architect are given considerable thought. In addition, the book describes the design of the old and new outdoor spaces in the complex.
