The private future: causes and consequences of community collapse in the West

Random House]

Architecture has become a powerful tool in the fashion business. Perfectly poised and detailed shopping environments help to launch and build the corporate identities of the most conspicuous and prevalent fashion houses worldwide. As clothes designers diverify into all sorts of product ranges from homeware to sports gear, and expand in the the virtual world of e-commerce, the architectural image of built shops is becoming all the more apparent and all-pervasive. Featuring interviews with high-profile architects Rem Koolhaas, Jan Kaplicky of Future Systems and David Chipperfield, and covering, among others, Comme des Garcons, Dolce &amp; Gabbana, Issey Miyake, Prada and Yves St Laurent stores, this issue takes a close look at the relationship between fashion and architecture. It examines issues such as what role architecture plays in the formulation of fashion houses' identities, whether the line between fashion and architecture has become blurred, and if virtual shopping environments are intensifying the need to experience architectural space in the high street. Probing and far-reaching in its editorial content, Fashion and Architecture is the most comprehensive and high-quality visual record of current fashion retail.

Sir Norman Foster's architectural projects have transformed cityscapes, renewed vital transportation hubs and rejuvenated town centres. Ambitious and controversial, Foster succeeds in marrying a modern sensibility with a masterly treatment of the architecture of the past. His commissions include the reconstruction of the Reichstag in Berlin and the new Hong Kong international airport. This work showcases, with photographs and sketches, plans and models, Foster's far-reaching genius, which combines technological prowess and global-minded design philosophy. Produced in conjunction with Foster's office, this volume includes depiction of the Valencia Congress Center and the Great Court at the British Museum. Including a chronological survey of the architect's career, and essays on industrial architecture, deep-plan buildings, energy and urbanism, this is a tribute to a figure who continues to impact upon architecture and urban planning.

Leading a generation of architects that trained in the high-profile High-Tech offices of the 1980s, John McAslan has become one of the most widely respected practitioners of finely detailed, sustainable buildings. In his adaptive projects, which are among Britain's modernist masterpieces, and in spectacular new buildings in Japan, Turkey and the United Kingdom, the work of McAslan and his team has become synonymous with historical sensitivity, spatial innovation and material precision. In the 1999 Building Awards, McAslan's achievements were recognized when the company was named Architectural Practice of the Year. Written by Kenneth Powell, who has followed the firm closely for over ten years, this is the complete monograph of McAslan's work, from his award-winning residential projects and corporate buildings, including his popular conversions and restorations, to his acclaimed headquarters for such companies as Apple Computers and Max Mara and numerous arts-related projects. Grouped by building type, each project is presented in depth, with extensive photographs, plans, models and details.
