Summary:
This book presents 27 of the more than 600 projects and creations completed by one of the leading French contemporary architects. Some of these creations are very well known, not merely among design and interior architecture specialists but by the public at large. From inflatable structures (Kléber Colombes in the 1970s) to the headquarters of major firms (Ford, Renault, L’Oréal, BMCE Bank, among others), Ronald Cecil Sportes has created original works representing an engagement with a sleek and strikingly modern aesthetic. Sportes has designed many furniture items (chairs, lamps, etc.), designs honored by many museums, including Cooper-Hewitt in New York, Centre Pompidou in Paris, and Victoria and Albert Museum in London, who have devoted major retrospectives to the architect (beginning in 1985). Classic Not Plastic includes a documented index that enables the reader to discover the author's profound intentions as well as investigate further into Sportes' work.

"Experimental Formats 2" builds on the success of "Experimental Formats", bringing the subject bang up to date. It explores every aspect of designing the printed form, from single page to commercial package. Case studies of professional work celebrate the healthy tradition for experimentation in this field, showcasing projects that stand out on their physical merits alone. Looking at proportions, formats, materials, printing, folding and binding, "Experimental Formats 2" offers designers an awe-inspiring selection of inspirational new ideas for practical application. It also explores exciting material innovations such as tear-proof "plastic", paper, and PVC, gelling agents, luminescent inks, concertina folds, single-screw and press-stud binding, among its many treasures. With its definitive glossary of terms, this is an indispensable guide and inspiration for the future of two- and three-dimensional print and graphic design. "Experimental Formats 2" is itself published as an innovative, multi-hinged hardback book, making it a real collector's edition.

Yet since the Wright brothers made their first brief flight over 100 years ago, aircraft construction seems to have become strangely stuck in a rut.

Summary:
"Flying Lightness" paints a heroic picture of a century of aircraft development against the background of steadily increasing travel speeds. Yet since the Wright brothers made their first brief flight over 100 years ago, aircraft construction seems to have become strangely stuck in a rut. Today, rapid advances in the field of composites are opening up new possibilities for optimizing aircraft con-figurations and revising structural principles. Composites are combinations of two or more physically distinct materials that enhance each other's properties. The new modes of system integration and improved structural quality they offer may even manage to produce a 30 per cent more efficient 'blended wing' passenger plane. Flying wings, once just a footnote in the history of air transport, could well become the aircraft of the 21st century.

This experimental space became programmatic for their further collaboration, up to their latest project in King’s Cross, London. Over the past years, Vito Acconci has moved towards architecture. Today’s Acconci Studio covers planning for such diverse projects as the Skateboard Park in San Juan, the Inside-Out Bookstore for Documenta X, or an urban planning for Tel Aviv. Vito Acconci and Kenny Schachter met for two discussions in London and Basel in 2004 and 2005.

Summary:
Rob Krier counts among the protagonists of the post-modernist circle of architects of the second half of the 20th century, and is one of the leading thinkers in the field of the theory and practice of town planning. He has always objected strongly to the dominance of rationalism and functionalism in architecture. Of great significance in his urban planning is the relationship between emptyand built upon urban space. Krier is also one of the most exceptional architectural draftsmen; his colourful, precise and detailed drawings are more like architectural vedutas and caprices. Presented here in all its manifold aspects are over four decades of Rob Krier's work, including a complete list of works.
