Résumé:
Le premier livre d’une collection qui vous emmène à travers l’Europe et vous aide à choisir un séjour de qualité, avec des critères hors du commun : la rencontre de l'architecture et du design, avec la qualité de l'accueil, de la table, et le souci du bien être. Plus qu’un répertoire de lieux de rêve, c’est une réflexion sur une nouvelle conception de l’hôtellerie : comment l’architecture peut cadrer le paysage, quels détails architecturaux et quels matériaux nous procurent des sensations inoubliables, et un focus sur les gens qui ont pour passion de s’occuper de nous. Nous espérons qu’elle incitera une nouvelle génération d’hôteliers à sortir des stéréotypes de l’hôtellerie de luxe classique.

Résumé:
Whether for a few minutes, a weekend, or a long vacation, todays spaces for recreation are available in a variety of forms and activities, and pursue a wide diversity of basic methodological ideas. Rather than being focused on productivity and efficiency, they allow one to unwind, contemplate, unravel, and experience. The 30 projects featured in this volume help create harmony and kindle a sense of recovery through their structural and material impact. The diverse scales and typologies they represent draw upon traditional constructions as well as modern spatial realities, wherein the design forms a framework for relaxation while enabling the mind to escape and reinvigorate.

Résumé:
If you have seen the film "Perfect Days" by Wim Wenders, about a man who leads a tranquil life cleaning public toilets in Shibuya, you might recognise just how truly beautiful such places can be. In the past, public toilets may not have left a good impression due to sanitary and safety concerns. These facilities were usually lacking inclusive design qualities. Toilets should be accessible, comfortable, and anxiety-free for everyone at all times. With this in mind, the project team considered what sort of public toilet would be safe, clean, and comfortable for every user. These are the toilets featured in the film, now renovated to be gender-free and fitted with the latest sanitation equipment.

Résumé:
Over the past one hundred years, the office has been integral to the development of modern society. It has shaped the architecture of our cities, the behavior of our organizations, and the everyday movements of millions of people. In 2020, however, the global pandemic brought our attendance in the office to an abrupt halt and triggered a complete reevaluation of the purpose of the workplace. This book offers a panoramic view of the office and explores what happens next. The authors advance a manifesto for “unworking”—unlearning old habits and rituals established for an outdated office and crafting and creating new ones fit for an age of digital technology, design innovation, and diverse workforces.

Résumé:
Presenting a critical and theoretical dimension to retail design, "Boutiques and other retail spaces" links the ideas behind it to real practice in this innovative and important contribution to architectural/interior theory literature. Retail structure has been subject to a dramatic and ongoing transformation over the past thirty years, materializing in the emergence of large-scale out-of-town shopping centres and new specialized shops in city centres. These specialized boutiques are highly designed, involving well-known architectural firms such as OMA/Rem Koolhaas, David Chipperfield, Herzog + de Meuron amongst others. With case studies and over 100 black and white images, Vernet and de Wit set forth original and well-grounded theory to accompany this popular and lucrative area of work.
