URBAN HOUSE, TOKYO, KAZUYO SEJIMA & ASSOCIATES

URBAN HOUSE, TOKYO, KAZUYO SEJIMA & ASSOCIATES

JAPANESE MINIATURE
With extraordinary invention and ingenuity, Kazuyo Sejima fits this tiny house
into the densely woven, indifferent texture of downtown Tokyo. Curiously, for
all its apparent wilfulness, it draws its origins from its very tight site.

Growing vegetables in home gardens

Growing vegetables in home gardens

[DOWNLOAD]

Gardening can be highly rewarding, but it is not
without problems and efforts. A successful garden requires
a good site, careful planning, good management
and considerable hard work. Insects, diseases and weeds
require control measures. Acidic, infertile, poorly drained
or sandy soil may have to be improved. Shade and
extremes of moisture and temperature are other problems
that must be overcome for a garden to be successful.
For those willing to plan carefully and to perform
timely gardening tasks, gardening can be very worthwhile.
A vegetable garden can produce a steady supply of
vegetables from spring to fall. These vegetables can be
harvested at optimum maturity and eaten or preserved
while fresh. Fresh vegetables may be higher in flavor and
nutritive value and lower in cost than purchased vegetables,
which may have been harvested several days
earlier. Vegetable production provides healthful exercise
and an interesting outdoor activity for the entire family.
Many gardeners feel the sense of accomplishment, selfsufficiency
and security accompanying a successful
garden are other significant rewards of gardening.

Architecture Now l

Architecture Now l
By Philip Jodidio l
Pages: 576 l ISBN-10 / ASIN: 3822860654 l PDF l 81.58 MB

[DOWNLOAD]


More than ever before, architecture at the beginning of the 21st century is changing and evolving at lightning speed. Appropriated, chewed up, mulled over, digested, contemplated, and contorted - gathering up along the way fashion, ecology, politics, and art - architectural concepts become veritable things unto themselves in the present tense. As astoundingly diverse as contemporary architecture is, most importantly it is a reflection of what's happening right now all over the world, in people's minds and in the global collective consciousness.
The many faces of world architecture today make for a mind-expanding book. Here you'll find the most recent work of over 60 architects and firms, including familiar names such as O. Gehry, Meier, Ando, Foster, and Starck, as well as a host of newcomers sure to be the architecture-celebrities of future generations. Highlights include Jakob & MacFarlane's morphological Restaurant at the Centre Georges Pompidou, Diller & Scofidio's "Blur Building" proposal for the International Expo 2001 in Switzerland (an ovular structure suspended over a lake, encapsulated by a fine mist of water, creating the look of a cloud hovering over the lake), and Herzog & de Meuron's remarkable Tate Modern. Proving that contemporary architecture is not limited to physical building design, New York firm Asymptote's Guggenheim Virtual Museum is also included, a place where visitors can take a cyber-stroll through rooms that are designed to be "compelling spatial environments." Presented alphabetically by architect or firm, Architecture Now! can be used like a reference guide, with extensive photographs and illustrations, biographical and contact information for designers, and a careful selection of today's most influential architects. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The Phaidon Atlas of Contemporary World Architecture

The Phaidon Atlas of Contemporary World Architecture.


[DOWNLOAD]
824 pages
> 400 mb

"The book showcases 1,052 buildings completed since January 1998 with thousands of well-chosen color photographs plans, elevations, and cross-sections. Major elements of each project are described in elegantly succinct texts. Rather than simply pay lip service to the concept of "world" architecture, this book ranges throughout 75 countries on six continents. And although the big names in the field are here--Rafael Moneo and Herzog & De Meuron are each represented by nine projects; Tadeo Ando with eight, Frank Gehry with six--the focus is on the ingenuity and diversity of contemporary architecture, regardless of the fame of its creator."
