Various prestigious architects present their most recent creations for apartment buildings, from the most innovative and avant-garde proposals,to those that attempt to create spaces whose personalities adapt to their contents.

The works of MVRDV, Satoshi Okada, Peter Lorenz and Archi-tectonics, to name just a few of the archi-tects included in this book, provide stimulating answers, ingenious solutions, unexpected points of view and proposals that will without doubt influence the conception of residential architec-ture.
Shopping as an experience has taken the place as, shopping as a necessity; and the design of the spaces to meet that end has had to adapt accordingly. At the turn of the century, commercial establishments were the first to apply the new construction techniques that emerged from the Industrial Revolution. The new markets and galleries of the European capitals represented the germ of what is today one of the best exponents of the latest tendencies in the language and materials of interior design. Shop Design presents a wide range of shops selling clothing, complements and other objects modern temples of consumption that has opened recently in different parts of the world. This is a dynamic and colourful collection of some of the most forward-looking and inspiring shop designs in the world, from the studios of some of modern architecture's leading names.

New trends, new designs, new decorative li-nes... A lot of things have evolved and adapted to our changing lifestyles. Homes, and more specifically, their interior design, have evolved as well. That's what this book is about, combining beauty with practicality, and more important-ly, how to achieve these two objectives in small spaces, which are increasingly more common wherever housing is concerned. The idea is to find practical solutions for the space available and see to it that today's designs and latest trends are reflected in it. "Architecture should be carnal, substantial,both spiritually and speculatively but with noother choice than to adapt to the space." This quote by the French-Swiss architect Le Corbu,sier, widely considered the most important in modern architecture, sums up best what you'll find in the following pages.
