New Hotel Design
In recent years there has been a remarkable evolution in the design of hotels, with mainstream hotel chains rejecting characterless functionalism in favour of style-led individualism. This book gathers together over 40 of the best examples of hotel architecture and interiors from around the world, illustrating the impressive diversity of styles and forms. Identifying the latest industry trends, Riewoldt makes plain how both chains and independents have adopted individual design strategies to enhance their brand image in an increasingly global marketplace. It featuers the work of Michael Graves, Jean Nouvel and Philippe Starck amongst other big names.

Award-winning Japanese designer, Shigeru Uchida has worked on a wide range of projects from interior design and furniture to products and urban planning, in Japan and abroad. Divided into sections named "Simplification of Space," "Surface and Space" and "Light, Hues and Spaces" this superb book features the lobby of the Kyoto Hotel, the Hotel II Palazzo in Fukuoka (a collaboration with Aldo Rossi), the tea rooms 'Ji-an, So-an, and Gyo-an' and the Mojiko Hotel. Uchida's works are included in the permanent collections of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Montreal Museum of Decorative Arts and others. His awards include the Mainichi Design Award, Best Store of the Year Special Award, and the Shokankyo Design Award Grand Prize.
Responding to Chaos
A celebration of a unique culture and its experience of design, this sensitive text is a timely examination of Japanese design at the start of a new century. The country's economic boom in the 1980s produced a surge of interest in land and building, and consequently in design in all its forms. From restaurant interiors to products, from private housing to recreational spaces, design received an unprecedented degree of attention. However the bursting in the early 1990s of this so-called 'bubble' economy has prompted a re-examination of design and its role in urban society.

Design
Design today is a global instrument. Bernhard Bürdek traces the progress of design from its beginnings in the late 19th century, through the most significant movements of the 20th century up to those recent developments in biological engineering which will shape the 21st century. Design is now a discipline in its own right and its expertise can be incorporated within interdisciplinary processes. The most important fundamental principles of design theory and methodology are presented, looking in particular at the communicative function of products and highlighting aspects such as corporate and service design, design management, strategic design, interface/interaction design and human design.
