In times of concern for sustainability and ecological responsibility, the tree house may also be the ultimate symbol of life in symbiosis with nature. Whether rustic or contemporary in style, tree houses make the most of space. Climb into this trove of tree houses and enjoy a new perspective on the world.

Summary:
No photographer during architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s lifetime was granted as much personal and professional access as his official photographer, Pedro E. Guerrero, who spent 20 years shooting Wright’s work, his homes and many key moments in his life. Picturing Wright: An Album from Frank Lloyd Wright’s Photographer provides an illuminating portrait of Wright from the day of Guerrero’s serendipitous hiring in 1939 until his last assignment just before the architect’s 1959 death, a particularly momentous time in Wright’s career. Guerrero captured Wright at Taliesin West in Arizona, at Taliesin in Wisconsin and later at “Taliesin East”—his personally remodeled suite at New York’s Plaza Hotel. Guerrero was there as the Arizona site evolved from a makeshift camp to an internationally renowned architectural community; for the Taliesin Fellowship’s treks east to Taliesin each spring; and for life among the apprentice architects who created buildings, grew their own food, picnicked on the hillsides and thrived under the master’s watchful but benevolent eye.

Summary:
Tom de Peyret observes the inner workings of power. Behind the shine of glossy facades, into the meanders of silent infrastructures. A barely recognizable New York City is sometimes outlined in the shape of a bridge, a faraway skyscraper, or the logo of the New York Times — whose presses he surveys, along the alleyways of their Queens printing plant. This book avoids postcard mise-en-scènes to scrutinize the city’s own anonymous pedestal; the structure which grants the capital its daily role, as the Empire’s unofficial epicenter. Much like writer Philippe Vasset, Tom de Peyret sneaks into off-record zones, areas solely charted as non-lieus. Through oblique excursions across New York City, he explores inaccessible, forbidden or disused places From military grounds in construction to prisons and airports, his odyssey also unveils, as a reflection, the insides of the New York Times’s printing presses. There, an almost archaic form of the newspaper is being printed, to be read a few hours later in fancy hotel lobbies, airport terminals or international public libraries — distributed by the same trucks driving down the highway interchanges of the Five Boroughs.

Summary:
Walking into a space designed by David Rockwell is like walking into another world. He and his New York firm Rockwell Group create public spaces that aim straight for our infatuation with escapism. Whether it's the four-star restaurant Nobu; the hip boutique hotel W; or the boisterous Mohegan casino, theirs is an architecture that uses immersion as a tool to transport us away from ordinary environments. The work of Rockwell Group stands out among that of other modern masters for its undiluted populism and immediate gratification. Pleasure is the first book to examine the theaters, hotels, stadiums, restaurants, casinos, and other public spaces across the country that have positioned Rockwell Group as one of America's most powerful firms. With provocative analysis from the most notable educators, artists, critics, and design tastemakers of our day, the book is a riveting re-working of the traditional architectural monograph format. Pleasure will appeal not just to architects and designers of all types, but also to the wide spectrum of people who are seduced by the destination spaces it creates.
