Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most inspirational buildings in the world, as chosen by well-known contemporary architects. In this book, published in conjunction with the Twentieth Century Society, 50 contemporary architects choose the buildings from around the world that have inspired them and made an impact on their own work. Architectural journalist Pamela Buxton interviewed each of the architects to create these outstanding portraits of the buildings that have influenced modern architecture. The diverse selection is introduced by Twentieth Century Society director Catherine Croft, and illustrated throughout with photographs by Gareth Gardner and Edward Tyler. The book features a diverse range of inspirational buildings, from housing estates to castles, coal mines to cathedrals. Work by the giants of twentieth-century architecture including Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe and Alvar Aalto are featured, as well as lesser-known gems. Examples include Richard Rogers (of RHSP) on Maison de Verre (Paris, France); Chris Williamson (of Weston Williamson) on the Eames House by Charles and Ray Eames (Los Angeles, USA); Takero Shimazaki (of T-SA, UK) on Hexenhaus by Alison and Peter Smithson (Bad Karlshafen, Germany); Ted Cullinan (of Cullinan Studio) on Chapel of Notre Dame Du Haut by Le Corbusier (Ronchamp, France); Michael Squire (of Squire & Partners, UK) on Grundtvig’s Church by Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint (Copenhagen, Denmark); and Jonathan Woolf (of Jonathan Woolf Architects) on Haus Esters and Haus Lange by Mies van der Rohe (Krefeld, Germany). This beautifully produced book offers a great insight into the power of existing architecture and its immense influence on the world we build today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Key Modern Architects provides an accessible and thought-provoking introduction to the work of the most significant architects of the modern era. Fifty short chapters introduce fifty key architects, from Le Corbusier to Aldo Van Eyck to Zaha Hadid, exploring their most influential buildings and developing a critique of each architect's work within a broader cultural and historical context. The selection represents the most influential architects working from 1890 to the present, those most likely to be taught on survey courses in modern architectural history, along with some lesser-known names with an equal claim to influence. Emphasis is placed on a critical and interpretative approach, allowing the student to position each architect in a cultural and intellectual context quickly and easily. Artistic, technical, social, and intellectual developments are brought to the fore – built and unbuilt projects, writings and influences. This approach brings to light the ideology behind architectural work, offering insights into each architect's working practice. - Helps students to develop a critical approach to understanding modern architectural history. - One chapter per architect – meaning chapters may be read individually as a concise resource for the study of an architect, or together as a coherent book-length history of the whole period of modern architecture. - Chapters are supported by boxed lists of each architect's most significant projects, along with suggestions for further reading as a springboard to further study and research. Combining the clarity and accessibility of a textbook with in-depth reading and a critical approach, Key Modern Architects provides an invaluable resource for both the classroom and for independent study in architectural and art history.

Included here are contemporary masterworks such as the Ishraq Tower in Dubai, apartments and town houses in New York, the W Hotel in Hoboken, an oceanfront home in Malibu, and the MOCA North Miami + Expansion in Miami, among many others.

Book excerpt: DP Architects: 50 Years Since 1967 celebrates the half-century legacy of one of Asia's most prolific architecture and design practices, DP Architects. Established in 1967 with the mission to use architecture and design in order to improve the lives of those who encounter its projects, DPA's own growth runs parallel with Singapore's following its independence from Malaysia in 1965. Since then DPA has gone on to shape the cityscape of Singapore and beyond, with built work in 77 countries and an integrated, full-service design approach spanning engineering, healthcare, infrastructure, lighting, consulting and sustainable design. For this special trade edition, designed to coincide with the DP50 exhibition at the URA Centre, Singapore, in August, DP Architects: 50 Years Since 1967 offers a holistic insight into the firm's unique story and technique. It provides readers with a curated selection of some of DPA's most renowned projects, including The Dubai Mall, Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay, Sunray Headquarters, the Singapore University of Technology and Design with UNStudio, the Singapore Sports Hub and Resorts World Sentosa, as well as current projects, including the Sengkang Hospital. In addition to a generous feature of built projects, DP Architects: 50 Years Since 1967 contains exclusive interviews with DPA's principals, including founder Koh Seow Chuan. Throughout this celebratory publication, leading voices share their experiences and wisdom in spirit of collaborative design across a multitude of typologies, scales and locations. From early on, DPA earned a reputation for producing environmentally conscious buildings with a joie de vivre inherent to their user-oriented design values and colourful palette. A half-century later, with 17 offices operating worldwide and 1,300 employees currently in service, DPA remains true to its founding vision of maintaining an excellence in design that improves the quality of life for a public engaged with its plannig and architectural works.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A magnificent celebration of America's state capitol buildings. These glorious buildings are, in the author's words, "the homes of history," where laws are passed, where democracy is enacted, where history is written. Though each state capitol bears some similarity to the other forty-nine, each in its architecture and design reflects uniquely the pride of its state, both culturally and historically. For this unprecedented project, photographer Tom Patterson traveled to each of America's fifty state capitals to capture the architectural beauty and dignity of its capitol building in glorious large-format color images. Writer Susan W. Thrane reveals fascinating details about each capitol building's beginnings: the events surrounding construction background on its architects and builders dimensions and costs primary features and main rooms unique furnishings and works of art. The book also discusses important moments in the history of each building and the state itself, including: the origin of the state's name its capital city when the state was admitted to the Union, and the number of members in its legislative bodies.
