Adam Mornement Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

The allure of the boathouse defies definition. To some they're a place to loaf about with friends on a summer's afternoon, to others they're secret bolt holes. Though disparate in form and appearance these structures built for the protection, construction, and maintenance of boats are united by the natural beauty of their waterfront locations and the innovation required for their construction. In this superbly illustrated book, Adam Mornement describes the history and evolution of some 40 boathouses from around the world, from the mid-18th century to the 21st. Some are the work of famous architects, including Robert Adam, Frank Lloyd Wright, Renzo Piano, and Shigeru Ban, but most are anonymous. Each in its own way embodies the adventure, charm, and romance of this visually arresting and consistently surprising building.

Wohnen in der Stadt ist sehr beliebt, doch der Platz zum Bauen ist begrenzt. Häuser in kleinsten Baulücken, an steilen Hängen oder in engen Gassen stellen sowohl Bauherren als auch Architekten vor Herausforderungen. Dieses Buch stellt rund 40 internationale Wohnhäuser vor, die den schwierigen Grundstücksvorgaben trotzen und auf selbstbewusste Art beweisen, dass es kein Grundstück gibt, das nicht bebaubar ist. Imposante Bauformen mit überraschend komfortablen Wohnlösungen sind das überzeugende Ergebnis.

The vast majority of architects cut their teeth designing small-scale additions to private homes. Extensions can be added to roofs, gardens, and underneath buildings or can even be strapped on to the sides. Following a brief introduction, the book is divided into chapters featuring 40 projects that extend spaces up, down, to the rear, to the side, on the roof, internally, and outdoors. Each case study explains how the architects faced design challenges at the same time as meeting their clients' needs. Details covered include choice of materials, planning issues, time, and cost. The book also raises issues that clients ought to consider when commissioning an architect to design an extension, from developing a brief to the finished product. At the end of the book there is practical advice for anyone thinking about extending their own property.
