Résumé:
The revival of ornament has seen a resurgence of interest in wallpaper design. Wallpaper is back, but this time it is different. No longer used 360 degrees to cover cracks and imperfections in crumbling plasterwork, wallcoverings are now a means of expressing individuality. The new wallpaper is blurring the division between art and interior decoration. Graphic designers and illustrators are playing with scale and using walls as their canvases while fashion and textile designers are transferring their fabric prints to paper. This book is a showcase of fresh and innovative wallpaper designs from 50 artists.

Résumé:
Delayed by the Spanish Civil War and the ensuing dictatorship under Franco, the emergence of modernity in Spain may have been late in coming, but today's young architects are making up for lost time in a spectacular way. Original personalities like César Manrique Cabrera marked a move toward the modern in the 1960s while Richard Bofill's innovative work in the 70s helped bring Spanish architecture to the world stage. In the 1990s, architects such as Rafael Moneo and Santiago Calatrava began to create the look of contemporary architecture in Spain as we know it today. From a modern interpretation of a bullring to cutting-edge green architecture, the book covers a dizzying variety of architectural innovation.

Résumé:
A surprising trend can be discerned in museum building since the end of the 1990s, one that still seems to be going strong today : an unprecedented number of grand-scale projects have been undertaken in recent years, not only by private sponsors, but in many cases made possible instead by public funding. This book not only shows new museums , galleries and exhibition venues for the fine arts, but also features unusual buildings housing special collections, as well as museums exhibting material from other fields of knowledge. One central focus of contemporary architecture can be traced particulary well in the examples illustrated in the book : new surfaces that enable the creation of new forms. Astoundingly, parallel to this development another architectural approach which can be already be called classical is also experiencing a Renaissance - the clearly defined, austere cube cloaked in a free-floating glass shell. No less than three buildings depicted here demonstrate the immense variety that is possible within these rigid parameters. The works shown here are no more than five years old and show, what a broad bandwidth can be discerned within a moment's snapshot. There are visionaries like Asymptote and masters such as Günter Behnisch and Tadao Ando, whose buildings span an arc from classical modernism to the architecture of today.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
This brief volume is the latest and reportedly last collection of essays by German novelist and critic Sebald, who has seemed more prolific since his death in 2001 than in life. Despite the masterful translation, these essays fail to cohere, though they contain elements common to most of Sebald's work: an integration of art, politics and memory, framed by the writer's own curmudgeonly presence. The essays, however, feel unfinished, lacking polish and structural integrity. The collection is split into two parts, "Prose" and "Essays," with the first—a series of considerations of the landscape, history and social milieu of the island of Corsica—by far the more successful. The second, longer section contains an assortment of literary critical pieces, some detailed, such as a long essay about novelists writing about the destruction of German cities during WWII; others discursive, such as an apparently unfinished review of a book about Kafka's relationship with film that wanders from films Sebald himself viewed to films Kafka may or may not have seen. Although Sebald was a beautiful and intelligent writer, it's hard to see how these essays will appeal to anyone outside of scholars and already committed Sebald fans eager to read every word he ever set to paper.

Résumé:
Individually and in partnership, as architects, educators, and advocates, the four principals of Platt Byard Dovell White Architects have made an indelible impression on the contemporary and historic architecture of New York City and beyond. In projects that range from historic preservation--the Charles A. Dana Discovery Center in Central Park and the Supreme Court of New York's Appellate Division First Department--to modernist interventions--the Saginaw Art Museum in Michigan and New 42nd Street Studios near Times Square--the firm's work is notable for its balance of innovation and tradition, of working within an urban context while contributing to that context. The first monograph on this award-winning firm, Architecture on Architecture illustrates the philosophy of Platt Byard Dovell White in its presentation of buildings and projects. Portfolios of twenty-three institutional, commercial, and residential works are complemented by two essays--one by noted critic Kenneth Frampton--and a lively timeline showing the personal and professional evolution of the architects.
