Summary:
"Norman Foster works 3" focuses on projects realized from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, including Stansted Airport outside London, Bilbao's subway system, and the Millennium Tower in Tokyo. This volume examines each project in depth, featuring numerous photographs, original sketches and computer generated drawings. From airports to underground transit stations, from museums to office towers, every building designed by Foster and Partners is a study in the synthesis of a structure's individual elements : its foundation and use, the quality of its materials, and its relation to the skyline or cityscape.

Summary:
For more than 20 years the French duo Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal have pursued a unique approach to housing that integrates outdoor areas modelled on the winter garden. Their projects are open to the climate, transparent, and permeable, designed to work with rather than against climate.

Their lifespan outstrips ours, and yet their wisdom remains inscrutable, treasured up in the heartwood. They serve us in many ways-as keel, lodgepole, and execution site-and yet to become human,(...)

Summary:
Tree explores the forms, uses, and alliances of this living object's entanglement with humanity, from antiquity to the present. Trees tower over us and yet fade into background. Their lifespan outstrips ours, and yet their wisdom remains inscrutable, treasured up in the heartwood. They serve us in many ways-as keel, lodgepole, and execution site-and yet to become human, we had to come down from their limbs. In this book Matthew Battles follows the tree's branches across art, poetry, and landscape, marking the edges of imagination with wildness and shadow.

Summary:
A book about modernist architect Mies van der Rohe's only design for the UK, a bronze tower and grand plaza in the heart of London. After decades of struggle, Mies' plans for Mansion House Square were scuppered. In Thatcher's Britain, popular opinion turned against modernism, Prince Charles criticised the work, and the government feared new public spaces. Stopped dead by an Inquiry, and mired in controversy, Mies' masterpiece was all but erased. ''Mies in London'' is the first book on this remarkable project, with 160 pages of unseen material.
