Influenced by a diversity of cultures worldwide, Moshe Safdie's architecture displays a richly evolving tectonic and spatial sensibility. During 40 years of practice, Safdie has designed cultural, educational and civic institutions, housing, mixed-use complexes and airports, and has developed designs for existing urban districts and entirely new cities. In this two-volume monograph, more than 60 of his projects are illustrated with spectacular photography, original design sketches and text. Volume two features an essay by Safdie presenting his views on the significant issues facing architects today. Complementing this piece are texts by William J. Mitchell on the theme of a global practice responding to a wide range of varied local conditions, and by Thomas Fisher on Safdie's books, which represent another of Safdie's significant contributions to the global architectural dialogue. Among the projects covered in these pages are, in the U.S., the Salt Lake City Main Public Library, the Peabody Essex Museum and the U.S. Institute of Peace Headquarters; in Israel, the Holocaust History Museum at Yad Vashem, the Yitzhak Rabin Center and the new city of Modi'in; in India, the Khalsa Heritage Memorial Complex; and in China, the Guangdong Science Center and the Guangzhou No. 2 Children's Palace. Both volumes demonstrate the depth of Safdie's work, every example of which is a unified expression of its technology and materials as well as its setting and purpose.

COX Architects and Planners

From its origins as a leading proponent of the 'Sydney School of Architecture' in the 1960's, COX Architects & Planners (COX) has grown to become one of Australia's largest and most successful practices with hundreds of projects and awards, spanning four continents. COX Architects & Planners is the most comprehensive overview to date of this journey. Featuring some 90 key projects and the work of leading Australian photographers such as Max Dupain and Patrick Bingham-Hall, this monograph eschews elements of the highly technical approach that typifies many architectural publications. Instead, its non-chronological construction is like that of a photographic essay, one that explores the poetry of COX's design and its ability to adapt to a truly international range of urban, environmental and social contexts. COX Architects & Planners also threads a connection between the distinct Australian vernacular that characterizes the practice's earlier projects, such as CB Alexander College Tocal and the Uluru township of Yulara, and its most recent commissions wherein technology, design and engineering coalesce to produce exciting and environmentally responsive organic forms. Current projects such as the DNA-like structure of Singapore Marina Bay Bridge and the Melbourne Football Stadium's lightweight-steel Bio Frame are key examples in this regard. Punctuating the book's photographic narrative are essays by established and emerging architectural critics Sandra Kaji-O'Grady, Anna Johnson and Stuart Harrison. These critics explore a range of issues, including: the conundrum of operating a large-scale, international architectural practice; the structurally expressive sports buildings for which COX is renowned; and the role of COX in the evolution of contemporary Australian architecture. A foreword by practice founder Professor Philip Cox АО discusses the milestones and philosophy that have been emblematic of COX's work over the past 40 years, and those that will guide it into the future.

Over its 20-year history, the ASSAR Group has had a major impact on the cityscape of Brussels. The firm's projects to date include offices, housing, industrial buildings, research laboratories, retail, new buildings and renovation, urban planning, interior design and programming. ASSAR's success is a result of its desire to design a contemporary, contextually appropriate architecture. This monograph features some of ASSAR's major projects, including headquarters for well-known companies such as AXA Belgium, ING Bank, L'Oreal, Robert Bosch and UCB, as well as several research laboratories including a substantial facility for GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals. Other projects featured include Belgium's first new military academy in more than a century and the new NATO headquarters (in association with SOM). Active in the development market — as demonstrated by three MIPIM Awards won in Cannes, France, in 2000, 2005 and 2008 for Residence Novalis, Mondrian and Madou Plaza respectively — ASSAR has participated in and won numerous competitions. Today ASSAR is involved in projects around the world — in locations such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Switzerland, Hungary, Luxembourg and Algeria — and continues to participate in large international competitions. ASSAR's projects are distinguished not by a particular style or signature, but by a concern for timeless quality, efficiency and dialogue.

K-12 school construction currently represents one of the largest sectors of new construction of any building type. Considering rising energy costs and concerns for the environment, there has never been more attention focused on the need to design schools responsibly. It highlights the work that the best architects are doing to respond to those needs while still creating beautiful schools for enhanced learning. Author Alan Ford has designed more than 75 K-12 schools projects, and with a longstanding commitment to sustainability and a passion for architecture, he is perfectly positioned to present this illuminating collection of sustainable school projects from around the world.This colorful book is a compendium of ideas illustrating how some very talented architects and committed facility planners are meeting the challenge of creating better schools for the 21st century. They are creating schools that are eco-friendly, embody high-performance design principles, are rich in architectural character, and enhance the health and well-being of students and teachers. The projects represent a wide range of design solutions, aesthetics, location, and scale, ranging in size from the Aga Khan Award — winning three-room schoolhouse in Burkina Faso to the 2500-student, 260,000-square-foot high school in Santa Ana, California. Each of the 45 featured projects is presented with an overview of the components of the high-performance 'tool kit' employed by the architects to achieve sustainable design goals. Collectively, these demonstrate the breadth of tools that today's architects can employ to build a sustainable future for our children.

The monograph explores the work of this European architectural practice with offices in Brussels, Paris and Luxemburg. In almost twenty years of practice, its focus has been on excellence while developing its identity in every project with which it has been involved. The dialogue between art and construction is fundamental in Art and Build's philosophy, and implies a synthesis of invention and thoroughness, liberty, efficiency and of forward thinking and construction.
