Andrew Bromberg, the lead designer for Aedas in Asia, is recognized for his intuitive ability to conceptualize and realize complex design. With 15 years of professional experience,Bromberg has used invited competitions as a way of exploring and exposing new ideas. Boasting a curvilinear formal vocabulary of bulges, twists, and sweeps, Bromberg's sensually shaped buildings are the manifestation of an intellectual and material struggle through which type and structure are transformed by design. With many projects under construction or in the works, Andrew Bromberg has become one of the most prolific and sought-after designers in China, India, and the United Arab Emirates. Architecture & Sensuality is the documentation of Bromberg's design visions within the emerging economies of Asia, complete with images, drawings, models, and construction photos. The pages within also include an essay, interview and statements by Larry Rouch, Rodolphe eI-Khoury,and Michael Speaks--each of them offering a comprehensive de*

OMA’s design for the Seattle Public Library--one of the firm’s most heavily anticipated projects to date--begins with a radical rethinking of the very nature of the library。If the library exists today as a threatened sanctuary，it has been done in by its own stubborn reliance on one kind of literacy and its consequent blindness to other emerging forms that increasingly dominate our culture，especially the huge efficiencies and pleasures of visual intelligence。Rather than merely package this traditional institution in a new way，OMA has completely reinvented it，transforming it wholeheartedly into a site able to aggressively orchestrate the coexistence of all available technologies for collecting，condensing，distributing，reading，and manipulating information。The library will no longer be loyal to the book。In more architectural terms，the $156 million building has an angular，meshlike glass and metal skin that surrounds a series of floating public spaces：a kid’s area at the bottom；

The array of buildings by Renzo Piano is staggering in scope and comprehensive in the diversity of scale, material, and form. He is truly an architect whose sensibilities represent the widest range of this and earlier centuries." Such was the de*ion of Renzo Piano given by the Pritzker Prize jury citation as they bestowed the prestigious award on him in 1998. Whereas some architects have a signature style, what sets Piano apart is that he seeks simply to apply a coherent set of ideas to new projects in extraordinarily different ways. "One of the great beauties of architecture is that each time, it is like life starting all over again," Piano says. "Like a movie director doing a love story, a Western, or a murder mystery, a new world confronts an architect with each project." This explains why it takes more than a superficial glance to recognize Piano`s fingerprints on such varied projects as the Pompidou Center in Paris (1971-77), the Kansai airport in Osaka, Japan (1990-94), and the Tjibaou Cultural Center i

Architect and Professor Malcolm Quantrill have held an unusual place in architectural scholarship over the last 50 years. He has taught architecture and travelled extensively, from London to Finland, from Oman to Montana, becoming the first Distinguished Professor in Architecture at Texas A&M University. The Ark of Architecture is both a reader and a re-reader of an acute architectural eye and mind. Quantrill?s texts move effortlessly from the literary to the architectural and his analysis of the work of memory, landscape, and some of the more unusual drivers behind Modern Architecture remain memorable. Quantrill?s methodology allows him to coax and at times subtly needle his ?subject? to produce unusual results. His interviewing of architects as different as Reima Pietil,, Norman Foster and Brian MacKay- Lyons show a lively movement of thought as he cleverly uses history and the past to ward off the frailty and often faddishness of the present.

On the basis of recent examples by renowned international architects, this monographic work analyzes the difficulty of integrating new residential volumes into sites that are seriously conditioned by their situation and environment. In each case, particularly narrow and awkward dimensions imposed limitations that the architects have resolved with creativity and wit, implementing exemplary technical and formal solutions to make the buildings connect with the existing context while making intelligent use of the available space. Often the facades concentrate the most interesting aspects of the project's composition and construction. The face of the building and its privileged view onto the exterior are the interface with which it relates to the surrounding buildings, contributing to weave the urban fabric and defining the profile of the street and of the neighborhood.

In recent years the lines that define the characteristics of the modern house have lost the severity that distinguished them in the past. Although the uses that a home must fulfil–cooking, relaxation, personal hygiene, interaction with other people, etc.–remain the same as ever, the solutions for tackling them are now very different and diverse. As a result, no specific formula can be established to define how a home should be. This book shows crossfire of examples of international designers, which have drafted houses with many considerations in mind. Adaptation to the terrain and the climate, the budget and the needs of its future inhabitants has been born in mind. As well the home’s three indispensable areas (the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom) have been focused. For example the bathroom is presented in multifarious variations: Either a functional space is apart or it can occupy a privileged spot alongside the garden, with large windows, spread itself out inside the house to such and extent that the ba
