More than ever before, architecture at the beginning of the 21st century is changing and evolving at lightning speed. Appropriated, chewed up, mulled over, digested, contemplated, and contorted - gathering up along the way fashion, ecology, politics, and art - architectural concepts become veritable things unto themselves in the present tense. As astoundingly diverse as contemporary architecture is, most importantly it is a reflection of what's happening right now all over the world, in people's minds and in the global collective consciousness. The many faces of world architecture today make for a mind-expanding book. Here you'll find the most recent work of over 60 architects and firms, including familiar names such as O. Gehry, Meier, Ando, Foster, and Starck, as well as a host of newcomers sure to be the architecture-celebrities of future generations. Highlights include Jakob & MacFarlane's morphological Restaurant at the Centre Georges Pompidou, Diller & Scofidio's "Blur Building" proposal for the

The pub scene across the world is characterised by its casual warmth and conviviality. It has none of the pretences or formality of a restaurant or cocktail bar. It is the relaxed setting in which friends and strangers alike can choose to meet. The pub is where we go to celebrate a special occasion with a group of chums, but also where we might go to flirt intimately with a prospective lover. It is a comfortable destination for seeking out the company of others. Whether located on a street corner in the Scottish Highlands, Munich or New Zealand, a favourite pub is defined by its own distinct atmosphere and character.

Drawing from the expertise of prominent academics in their respective fields, this collaborative work takes a sweeping view of the ways we build things, beginning at the scale of products and interiors, to that of regions and global systems. In doing so, The Built Environment answers questions on how we effect and are affected by our environment. More importantly, the book shows how the various components of what we make -- from products, buildings, landscapes, and cities -- are interrelated, and how designers and planners must consider these connections in their work. The Built Environment is a must-read for designers looking for a context for collaboration and for strategies to improve the overall quality of designed environments as well as for anyone interested in understanding the complex nature of the built environment and how it affects our lives.

De*ion: ArchiSCULPTURE examines modern sculpture's proximity to and interplay with architecture, a phenomenon long neglected in the history of sculpture--but especially pronounced in the 20th century. More than any other medium, it is sculpture that crosses most with architecture: each exists in three-dimensional space, changing as the viewer moves around and through it. Not only have they shared materials--they have shared many practitioners. And this was long before percent-for-art programs were even initiated, thereby institutionalizing the need for artistic intervention into the built environment. In this generously illustrated publication, works by a long range of artists--from Boullae to Malevich, Picasso to Le Corbusier, and a host of others up to the present--feature alongside essays that examine these borderline forms of design.
