Résumé:
Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the greatest architects of the 20th century, was deeply indebted to Japan for its aesthetic inspiration. This is the story of how he repaid that debt. Wright sought refuge in Japan when he faced public condemnation at home. For six tumultuous years, he struggled to complete the enormous commission of the Hotel Imperial in Tokyo, which helped turn his career around. During the construction of the building, he forged several relationships with Japanese architects who went on to alter Japan's cityscapes and mentor a new generation of architects. Wright's obsession with Japan, and vice versa, vividly reminds us that the creative spirit knows no borders.

Résumé:
When in 1933 Hans Glas designed the villa for physicians Annie and Philipp Rezek on Wilbrandtgasse in Vienna, in the Austrian capital’s eighteenth district, it was one of the city’s most visionary buildings of its kind. The "Glas House," as the Rezek family called their home, is a quintessential example of modern architecture and the associated philosophy of living in 1930s Vienna. Viennese architect Hans Glas (1892–1969), a student of Adolf Loos, has today largely fallen into oblivion in Austria. "The Glas House" describes the Villa Rezek in detail, illustrated with numerous historical and new photographs by Stefan Oláh, plans, and historic documents.

Résumé:
Experimental and radical, material and gestural are adjectives that could define the suggestive projects of the studio led by Anne Holtrop (Netherlands, 1977). On the border between art and architecture, his work avoids typological reference and is built from unexpected elements: topography, trail layouts, material molds, textures extracted from everyday objects, or traces of natural processes that become the starting point for architectural definition. AV Monographs presents this intuitive practice through a selection of works and projects – with an introduction by Adrian Lahoud –, which take stock too of the life course of their author: from the beginnings at his home country to the move to the Persian Gulf.

If there is a new language of contemporary design, surely it is pattern. Evocative, hypnotizing, sensual, calming, jarring, soothing patterns cover, conceal, and reveal an astonishing range of emotions and are at home on a chair or lamp as they are on the facades of enormous buildings. ''Patterns in design'' examines this new trend, illustrating it with work by design luminaries like Hella Jongerius, Tord Moontje, Michael Lin, Olaf Nicolai, and Sauebruch and Hutton. Along the journey, the reader will experience a diversity of colors, shapes, and applications, as well as new technologies like laser engraving and digital milling that promise an even bolder future for patterns.
