Architecture &amp; Sustainability presents architectural projects with an optimal quality of environmentally friendly design. They not only aim to blend with the urban surroundings but also to revitalize places that show obvious traces of damage and decay. The projects proposed by Cadavid Architects emphasize versatility and adaptability, developing above all a conscious execution of every single element included in each project.

Design, texture, color, and space a fusion of traditional Mexican architecture with contemporary global architecture have made Javier Sordo Madaleno a worthy representative of contemporary Mexican architecture around the world. For Sordo Madaleno, Mexico is one of the few countries with its own architectural heritage, unlike other places of great influence such as Paris, New York, and London, among others, whose global, universal architecture has no expression of a regional culture. This book showcases the architecture of Mexico.

Tony Owen &amp; Partners believes that there is a place for an architecture that is exciting and unique, but that is based on sound commercial principles and realizes our clients’ needs; an architecture which is driven by contemporary ideas and which is combined with a proactive and inclusive approach to consultation with authorities. Tony Owen Partners believe in a “realizable architecture” that challenges the norm. Tony Owen Partners' focus is on gaining successful approvals on prominent residential and commercial developments. This involves the fusion of commercial interest with stylistic and community issues and through extensive consultation with state and local authorities. The city is a laboratory for living. What makes the Urban Realm so interesting is that it is the intersection between the human, environmental, commercial and cultural needs.

In the eastern Mediterranean—on the west coast of Turkey, facing the Greek islands of Lemos and Patmos, close to Bodrum, the ancient Halicarnassus, atop a headland 450 feet above sea level—a new building is constructed. This book unveils the process of creation of the Kaplankaya Clubhouse, from its initial ideas to the development of construction, a timeless structure, seeking both the essence of abstraction in modern architecture confronted with the use of local construction techniques and materials, and its intense relationship with the Mediterranean landscape and light.

Bionics is a modern, interdisciplinary science that first emerged in the mid 20th century, combining the study of natural sciences with engineering and technical sciences. The aim is to synthesize knowledge derived from the analysis of natural forms and systems. Since becoming a partnership in 1979, Cervera &amp; Pioz have worked to develop new architecture and city-planning proposals inspired by an integral understanding of the logical principles of flexibility, adaptability, and energy-efficiency that are prevalent in all natural species. In 1985 the firm started to experiment with complex and dynamic structures resulting in several revolutionary projects. In 1992, they began their research into biological structures in nature and their application to modern structural engineering and architecture. A direct result of these studies was the discovery of a new concept of structure and construction: Bio-Structure.

On 19 March 2011, the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation inaugurated the exhibition "Dalí by Halsman" at the Gala Dalí Castle in the small village of Púbol, on the occasion of the seventieth anniversary of Dalí and Halsman first encounter in 1941, in the United States. "Dalí by Halsman" presented a selection of eighty-eight photographs of Salvador Dalí taken by Philippe Halsman (plus a gouache by Dalí painted on a photograph), for which Dalí's involvement was both physical and conceptual. The pictures shown in this exhibition were kept by Dalí throughout his life. They are reminiscences of his thirty-seven years collaboration, from 1941 to 1978, with another alchemist of the creative process. The exhibition at the Púbol castle-museum was curated by Montse Aguer, also author of the introduction to the catalogue. Irene Halsman, Oliver Rosenberg Halsman, Steve Bello, David G. Torres and Rosa Maria Maurell also contributed to its edition.

History & Criticism

This book is a fascinating journey along the history of architectural structures over the last 150 years, taking the World Expos as an original unifying thread. Nevertheless, it does not solely focus on the exhibition buildings; on the contrary, these are continuously being related to buildings beyond the scope of the Expos, thus ultimately providing a general vision of the history of modern structures. This essay is destined to become an essential work of reference within the history of architectural structures. It is generously illustrated with more than nine hundred large-scale illustrations, many of which have not appeared in contemporary publications. It offers innumerable facts that will interest architects, engineers or art historians. Likewise, members of the general public far-removed from these fields will also be able to enjoy many of the passages which are accessible to those who do not have any specific knowledge of architecture or engineering.

Tsukioka Yoshitoshi was the most influential and prolific woodblock print artist of Meiji Japan. This book presents his masterpiece: the wildly popular One Hundred Aspects of the Moon. The series was begun in 1885 and completed just before the artist's death in 1892. New designs were eagerly awaited, with editions selling out before dawn on the day of publication. The introduction of this book comprehensively treats the artist's life and work. Each of the one hundred images in the series is shown here in full color. The Tokaido gojusan tsui, created in 1845, is one of the most well-known and fascinating examples of woodblock prints inspired by the road.
