Summary:
The past decade has witnessed a profound transformation in European landscape architecture, away from the formal, centrally-planned garden art that hallmarks traditional European parks, toward projects, often the result of interdisciplinary cooperation between architects, artists, and landscape architects, of a more informal, almost exploratory, nature. "In Gardens" examines more than thirty of the most influential recent landscape projects in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland, and from designers like Kathryn Gustafson, Dani Karavan, and Charles Jencks. In the process, this panoramic book illuminates a new paradigm of garden design in Europe and provides a fount of inspiration for landscape designers everywhere.

''Volume 65: Living Together'' explores ways in which we cohabitate, capturing a wide array of modes and models of living across the globe and presenting a mosaic of stories, addressing both the ongoing crises while also offering new perspectives, cases and creative engagements with housing. In-depth stories report on the scandalous ripple effect of the Syrian civil war, the transitory routes used by migrants in the Balkans, compound life in Afghanistan, and the precarious position of mental health infrastructure in China. More hopeful stories look at new building in Abidjan, cooperative practices from Zimbabwe, to Switzerland, and careful house construction in the Colombian hinterland.

These books were published between 1962 and 1971, an exceptionally ripe time for artists to turn to the bookform, a time when the most often cited "first" artist's book also appeared, Twentysix Gasoline Stations (1962) by Ed Ruscha. Nieves is delighted to release this previously unpublished collection of 60 ink pictograms, drawn between 1976 and 1996, originally printed individually as A2 plane prints.

Summary:
They come in all shapes and sizes, and somehow the phenomenon is especially prevalent in Switzerland: homemade cat ladders. Taking the city of Berne as an example, photographer Brigitte Schuster shows the variety of ways humans facilitate the comings and goings of their feline friends in the context of the surrounding architecture. From a simple wooden plank to complex, scaffold-like constructions rising up to four storeys in a zigzag fashion, they express sociological, architectural, and aesthetic peculiarities, which are further developed in accompanying texts. As such, the book serves as both a guideline and source of inspiration in creating your own cat ladders.

Notable recent works include the Odunpazari Modern Museum in Turkey, the Dallas Rolex Tower in Texas, KENZO House in Paris, the V Dundee in Scotland, the cocoon-like Suspended Forest house in Switzerland, and the Takanawa Gateway Station in Tokyo. With a sharp eye for innovative and outstanding design and a staggering diversity of typologies and scales under his belt, Kuma is clearly an architectural force like none other.
