Best Designed Wellness Hotels
After three successful editions of the "best designed wellness hotels..." series, in Asia, Australia and the South Pacific; North and South America, Mexico and the Caribbean, as well as Europe, the author now showcases more beautiful wellness locations in Africa and the Arabian region. The journey leads us to the breathtaking beaches of Mauritius and the Seychelles, through Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia, and on to the bushlands of South Africa. Whether a simple lodge, or a famous grand resort, each of these properties displays a shared, holistic philosophy, expressed in its architecture, design, love of detail and individual service. This book is a selective guide to some of the world's most exquisite hotels, many of which remain well guarded secrets. Book jacket.
The Language of Fashion & Design
Creativity and innovative power are important components in entrepreneurial success. This book shows the different aspects of these components based on the example of Norintra, the creative design center of the Arcandor/KarstadtQuelle group in Hong Kong. The publication focuses on interviews with six designers who work for Norintra.
Will Alsop
The design process of Will Alsop acts as a conduit for the dreams and aspirations of others. Moving from public consultation to the privacy of his painting studio – here ideas are born in the liquidity of paint, the serendipity of collage and the flourish of line, resulting in the avant-garde and vibrant designs that Alsop is particularly well known for. Whether the world approves of these designs or not, does not devalue the creative and artistic process which produces so rich, varied, challenging and inspirational outcomes. Focusing on the refreshing process of design with which Will Alsop engages, Tom Porter reveals and traces the process, from public consultation to private studio, from paint to line to model, and in doing so uncovers a treasure trove of ideas for transforming the process of architectural design. Whether a working architect or a student embarking on the first steps towards creating your own design process, this book offers an insight and example into how engaging with the public, before painting the way into architecture, can offer the most stimulating solutions.
Surface and Deep Histories

Orientations to the surface emerge, collapse, and reappear, sustaining it as a legitimate theoretical and artefactual entity, despite the (twentieth-century) disciplinary definition of architecture as space, structure, and function. Even though surface is defended for its pervasiveness (Kurt Forster), its function as a theoretical motif with generative power (Andrew Benjamin), and in constituting the operative principles of modern architecture as a visual phenomenon (Mark Wigley), it occupies the interstice, or the space of the unconscious within arch...
Interdisciplinary Design Thinking in Architecture Education

Cases are from a diverse selection of international collaborators, featuring projects from the United States, Australia, Mexico, Germany, and Italy, and cover a range of project types and scales.
