Labics
"Labics, based in Rome, is a leader among Italy's up-and-coming architecture firms and has gained great international acclaim for submissions to competitions and a number of realized projects. This first-ever monograph on Labic's fast growing, impressive body of work features some twenty of their designs, representing the entire range of the firm's achievements. The selection comprises housing and office buildings, museums and cultural centers, schools, public spaces, and subway stations, located in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Finnland, Iran, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, and the UK. All are documented with atmospheric photographs and a wealth of plans and diagrams to illustrate concept and many details of each project. Structure, in a variety of notions of the term, is guiding Labics' approach. Consequently, the book is arranged in five chapters exploring geometric, bearing, circulation, public space, and urban and territorial structures in topical essays. This provides the frame for the featured projects, all of which exemplify the importance of the respective type of structure for Labics' work". (éditeur).

Dwell
At Dwell, we're staging a minor revolution. We think that it's possible to live in a house or apartment by a bold modern architect, to own furniture and products that are exceptionally well designed, and still be a regular human being. We think that good design is an integral part of real life. And that real life has been conspicuous by its absence in most design and architecture magazines.

Contemporary Housing
Following intense debate throughout the 20th century, the issue of residential housing is becoming increasingly central to the contemporary situation, characterised by large cities, urban sprawl and general fragmentation in spaces of the home and collective life. Projects are attempting to give answers through flexible systems that try to give form to new public and private spaces for the individual. The home speaks of a world that is changing very rapidly and the selected projects can be seen as experimental attempts to give shape to new ways of experiencing the home in the future. Through an analysis of some of the most significant projects built in the last ten years, this book traces pivotal themes such as density, flexibility, the relationship with the land, constructing on the constructed, and the image of the house. Analysis is made in essays written by leading authors in the field
ARO: Architecture Research Office
"The process of investigation, analysis, and testing makes Architecture Research Office (ARO) as much a laboratory as a design firm. For Stephen Cassell, Adam Yarinsky, and their team, the starting point of each commission is not the development of an abstract "idea" for the project, but an intensive, hands-on occupation with a project's conditions, with its physical, economic, and social contexts. This practical approach to making architecture, to shrinking the distance between thinking and building, is much evident in their work, which manages to be simultaneously thoughtful and sensual." "The seven projects featured in this, the first monograph on the work of this firm, range from self-di...
Italian Interiors
Italienische Innenarchitektur zeichnet sich seit Jahrzehnten durch eine besondere Innovationskraft und Risikobereitschaft aus, nicht nur auf der ästhetischen Ebene, sondern auch bei der Verwendung von neuen Materialien und deren Kombination. Bereitwilliger als anderswo werden hier Einflüsse von Kunst und Design aufgegriffen; die Entwerfenden lassen die Grenzen zwischen diesen Disziplinen mal provokativ, mal subtil verschwimmen. Nicht zuletzt deshalb sind ihre Kreationen für die Ausgestaltung von Restaurants und Geschäften, Privatwohnungen und Hotels, Büros und Museen weltweit gefragt und erweisen sich oftmals als Trendsetter. Das Buch zeigt eine Auswahl neuester Entwürfe, die von 2000 bis 2009 in Italien und anderen Ländern, darunter den USA, Frankreich, Großbritannien, Israel und Dubai, realisiert wurden. Unter den vertretenen Architekten und Gestaltern sind Altmeister wie Renzo Piano, Michele De Lucci und Giorgio Armani, aber auch Vertreter der jungen Generation. Zu den besonderen Merkmalen des Bandes gehört eine umfangreiche Dokumentation durch technische Zeichnungen und Detailfotos.
