Remote Luxury: Top Resorts Down Under is the ultimate guide to getting away from it all in Australia and New Zealand. Over the past few decades Australia and its equally spectacular neighbour across the Tasman Sea have established a reputation as two of the most sought-after holiday destinations in the world. This reputation is a result of not only the extraordinarily beautiful and varied landscapes both countries boast but also the inspirational ways in which their architects and designers have used these unique settings to create innovative and memorable places to stay. This beautifully photographed publication takes you on a visual journey through the most remote of these idyllic getaways, from luxurious laidback lodges in the outback to sustainable eco resorts in rainforests and sleek retreats by the sea.

Rural Modern: Rural Residential Architecture

Modernism crashed into the American consciousness right after the Second World War, although it had existed in the minds and works of American and German-born architects for almost 40 years prior. While it offered a new design paradigm that would transform the urban landscape from New York to New Delhi, modernism was a slow burn for residential architects. The sharp edges and simple geometries were a hard sell for the American design psyche. A group of innovative architects in the USA took Bauhaus modernism and gave it a vernacular face. They borrowed forms from the simple utilitarian buildings found in rural environments and created a new strain of modernism. Russell Abraham dubs this style 'rural modernism' — a modern aesthetic with a vernacular palette. The result of several ingenious ideas blended together to create a contemporary, sustainable and highly liveable architecture, these houses respect the past while looking forward to the future. Orienting windows to capture heat in winter and provide sun protection in summer is standard, while other sustainable design features include solar-thermal systems, subterranean heat sinks, geothermal trenches and rainwater collection systems — all of which are incorporated to make the most of the natural resources available in rural settings.

Long before the international community recognised C.Y. Lee as the architect of the world's tallest skyscraper — the 508-metre-tall Taipei 101 — his distinct buildings were already turning heads in Asia. Taking his cues from Chinese pagodas, old, square-holed Chinese copper coins, and even the shape of Chinese characters, C.Y. Lee has developed a brand of modern Chinese architecture that few of his compatriots can match. In the mid-1980s, after more than a decade of working as an architect in the US, C.Y. Lee returned to Taiwan with the intention of creating something distinct. Since that time, C.Y. Lee's memorable buildings have successfully fused the traditional with the modern, firmly placing him among today's architectural innovators. This major monograph presents the firm's major projects in full colour, with architects' sketches, plans and descriptive text. It includes a number of pieces written by C.Y. Lee.

Sustainable architecture is one of the most popular trends today. With dense urban living and less green space available, green walls and roofs are helping to fill that gap. These living structures can be created with vegetation, which helps to absorb rainwater, provide insulation, and lower temperatures while creating a habitat for natural flora and fauna. Green Walls Green Roofs features projects from all over the world, showing how these elements work in various climates. Ranging from the tropical houses in Singapore to inner-city buildings in North America, this richly illustrated book will show you how living architecture can enrich our world.

One of the world's truly international designers, Michael Graves shares his inspirations and design philosophy in this superb addition to the exclusive IMAGES Millennium Series. Graves, who holds the chair of architecture at Princeton University, is one of the world's most respected and influential architects. This book features office and mixed-use space; hotels, recreation and commercial; cultural and civic; universities; and residential design. With colour, figure, pattern and a sense of formal play, Graves' buildings are immediately recognisable and accessible. His name is also synonymous with international design houses Alessi, Baldinger, Duravit, Valli & Valli and Steuben. Здания, спроектированные Майклом Грейвсом, являющиеся предметом для обсуждения уже несколько десятилетий, начали становиться частью общественного создания после того, как они стали характерной чертой очертаний горизонта по всему миру. Что же сделал Грейвс, что обеспечит ему место в мировой истории архитектуры? Прежде всего, это то, что он взял крупномасштабный дизайн надоевшего образца позднего Модернизма, что не умаляет его художественных достижений, изменил цвет, форму, добавил ощущение внешней игры образца, что сделало его здания более узнаваемыми и воспринимаемыми на расстоянии.

STUDIOS Architecture has many years of experience in making communities for corporations. In the early years, much of STUDIOS' work was concerned with the design of corporate campuses. The firm's aim was to humanise the workplace and provide a face to these 'little villages' it designed. STUDIOS' architectural language is now more varied to fit a diverse practice where the boundaries between work, culture, technology and society have been blurred; yet is grounded in a sense of humanity. Featured projects in this publication includea selection of the firm's corporate works as well as civic and institutional buildings.

Since the founding of Moore Ruble Yudell with Charles Moore in 1977, principals John Ruble and Buzz Yudell have built a varied body of work ranging from private residences to multi-million-dollar institutional, civic and mixed-use developments. The initial goal of Moore Ruble Yudell was to have an intensive collaboration among the principals, and as the firm has grown, this idea has remained its highest priority, with the collaborative spirit extending to include project staff and clients. The principals pioneered the use of client and community workshops in the design process. Their work on a wide range of building types has given them extensive experience working with complex client groups as well as regulatory and governmental agencies.

Manuelle Gautrand established her architectural practice in 1991, and has since produced a significant body of work. The firm spans a range of commission types, from domestic housing through to institutional, cultural, industrial and infrastructure projects. Sophistication of design, originality of intent and judicious choice of materials mark the work of Manuelle Gautrand Architects. The modern treatment of program, form and materials provides a refreshing excursion into the possibilities that a creative team of architects can achieve at the turn of the twenty-first century, and is all the more true given that many of the firm's projects have been realised on sites with historic fabrics. This NeoArchitects monograph examines seventeen remarkable projects, built and unbuilt, providing an insight into the workings of a modern European practice.
