Spas for Your Home features 40 spaces in the house devoted to the owner's wellness, relaxation, health care, and hygiene. While luxury therapeutic baths and showers were once the sole preserve of the health spa, the experience can now be recreated at home thanks to a new generation of spa products and appliances such as wet room showers and whirlpool baths that are available to the general consumer market. 
Spas for Your Home also introduces new concepts like chromotherapy and hydrosonic technology, which use light and sound in baths and showers to enhance relaxation. An exhaustive resource section contains all the necessary information on products and materials used in each featured home spa so it can be easily duplicated, along with the names and web addresses of specialized manufacturers.

Urban design involves the arrangement, appearance and functionality of towns and cities, with a particular focus on public spaces such as parks, squares and gardens as well as infrastructure and privately owned spaces. The design of these public spaces has become increasingly important to the long-term development and well-being of communities, and can provide towns and cities with a unique identity. Careful use of a wide range of urban furniture assists and refines this aim. "Urban Landscape" shows off 37 examples of public spaces from all around the world, illustrating the arrival of new resources, procedures and priorities to the art of designing public spaces.Maps, sketches, plans, explanatory text and numerous photographs provide thorough documentation of the chosen projects. These include West 8's ongoing One-North Park (500 acres of greenery in the midst of Singapore City), Melbourne's futuristic focal point (the Lab Architecture Studio-designed Federation Square), Sami Rintala's temporary floating libraries in Oslo and the monstrous fluid curves of Vito Acconci's Performing Arts Centre Plaza, Memphis. The sheer variety presented here makes this an extremely desirable title for all with an interest in this field

Renovating for Working

The complex construction process of a building goes through numerous phases and involves the work of many people. However, it all begins with the architect's idea. Sketches represent this initial concept, the moment the architect transfers the image in his or her head onto paper. Slowly, through sketches, plans, renders of the chosen projectsand scale models, the project takes shape and finally emerges as a building. Public architecture is architecture for the people the main beneficiaries of these constructions such as libraries, hospitals, civic centers or museums. Sketches: Public Buildings compiles a selection of recent important projects from public architecture from around the world that can be enjoyed right from the outset.

The role that religion has played in the development of art and architecture is unquestionable. The religious factor is as old as humanity itself and throughout history constructions have been erected with the aim of extolling the gods. Everyone has heard of examples such as the Egyptian or Aztec pyramids, the Christian cathedrals or mosques like the famous Blue Mosque.These are all examples of sacred buildings which also represent an undeniable artistic and architectural value. The construction of religious buildings seems to have been forgotten by the masses and replaced by other more modern and popular architectural typologies, such as public or corporate architecture. These pages show recent projects that will bring us closer to contemporary religious architecture.
