Résumé:
New challenges on a global scale have forced a rethinking about the way homes and communities are designed. This book provides an engaging and in-depth analysis of possible solutions, providing hope for the future. Broadly speaking these challenges came in three ways: environmental, social, and economic. The challenges posed by climate change demand urgent consideration and response. But a change in methodology and the ingenious employment of technological advances offers solutions to these challenges. It provides important examples of ways to meet the global challenges by using innovative concepts and practices, leading to a transformation of how residences will appear in the years to come.

Résumé:
Quand on demande aux auteurs des Ghettos du Gotha ce qu'ils entendent par là, Michel Pinçon et Monique Pinçon-Charlot répondent qu'il s'agit d'un internement de riches choisis - et non subi. Procédant davantage par création ex-nihilo que par reconstruction sur tabula rasa, cette dynamique spatiale débute avec la "société de cour" mais se systématise sous le Second Empire, avec des lieux comme Arcachon, Biarritz, Vichy ou Deauville. Dans son essai, Boris Veblen tente, à travers le storytelling de l'industrie du luxe, des palaces ou de l'art contemporain, de percevoir la résurgence BCBG de ces quasi gated communities. Dans la France de Nicolas Sarkozy comme dans la mondialisation victorieuse des BRIC.

Résumé:
Whether it's design, interiors or architecture, the client list for the Swedish firm Sandell Sandberg reads like a roster of the world's edgiest companies, including B Italia, Artimide, Ericsson, Electrolux and IKEA. This first-ever comprehensive book about the firm, established in 1995, shows off the powerful, idiosyncratic sense of form that has placed principal Thomas Sandell at the forefront of the international architecture and design scene. Sandell's playful approach characterizes projects ranging from IKEA lamps or vacation retreats that look like they were designed for modernist trolls, to housing for the underprivileged in suburban communities. A substantial book on a designer whose influence will only grow with the decades.

Résumé:
Change is an inherent feature of any city. As the wide-reaching and complex research conducted for this publication illustrates, this can challenge the rational distribution of functions in the urban space and provide temporary occupation for all sorts of purposes and activities. Here, ‘Occasional Urbanities’ refers to change brought about by the growing complexity of urban societies which sees new forms or urbanism and urban aesthetics arising that at the same time pose new problems for a city. While the term, ‘Post-it’ highlights the moveable aspects of the contemporary urban terrain that gives rise to these mutations – fleeting occupations, accumulation and re-location of objects and travelling micro-communities.

Résumé:
Theaters, concert halls and opera houses belong to the main building tasks of our times. Numerous cities as well as communities are adding stage buildings for performing arts to their cultural infrastructure and are renewing historical buildings. The acoustics and stage mechanisms are adjusted to modern requirements, while the standards of the in-house technology and the amenities for visitors are decidedly improved. Prestigious projects for various towns and states result in extraordinary buildings. These not only convince in terms of their interior design, but also make an impact on the cityscape as solitary structures. 60 outstanding projects from around the world are presented in this volume from the Masterpieces series.

Résumé:
At the end of the Second World War Winston Churchill promised to manufacture half a million prefabricated bungalows to ease the housing shortage; in the end more than 156,000 temporary ‘prefabs’ were delivered. Nicknamed ‘Palaces for the People’, and with convenient kitchens, bathrooms and heating systems, they proved popular and instead of being demolished as intended they were defended by residents who campaigned to keep their family homes and communities. Nearly seventy years later, as the last of these two bedroom homes are being demolished, Elisabeth Blanchet tells the story of these popular dwellings and their gardens and shows the various designs that were produced.
