Of all the elements in nature, none is more life affirming than water. We’re born into this wonderful world after swimming in the mysterious elixir for nine months, and then we spend the rest of our days seeking out its sustaining powers. When you consider that two-thirds of our bodies are comprised of water, it’s no wonder we are so drawn to it. And when nature doesn’t place water where we can easily access it, we have no problem bringing water to us in the form of luxurious swimming pools and hot tubs.

Summary:
The automobile has brought about changes to the landscape that are nothing short of revolutionary. The dramatic reconfiguration of cities and the countryside to accommodate our taste for freedom of movement has been matched by a change in the way buildings themselves have been planned. Today, CAD and car-building techniques have opened up new possibilities for architectural design and this book, edited by the London-based journalist Jonathan Bell, argues that the influence of the car on architectural and urban thinking is greater than ever. A compelling manifesto for the future of building design.

Summary:
The latest architecture and design of restaurants and bars, from L.A. to Tokyo, is the focus of this book. Whether the challenge is merely placing furniture in a simple space, or an ambitious structural project, restaurants and bars are the sites of our most expressive architecture; more ephemeral than larger facilities or entire buildings, they are more apt to capture the mood of the times.
