Nature and architecture have never been more intertwined. As more of the earth's surface is swallowed up by the built environment, architects are increasingly up to the task of integrating flora and greenery into their creations. There are many ways to express this: green roofs, living walls, indoor courtyards and entire facades filled with plants. But where these are posed as solutions there are yet more questions. How does a skyscraper uphold the weight of hundreds of trees? How do residents keep moss-covered walls alive? Jungle Architecture explores this, and much more.

Anbauen, Umbauen, Ausbauen. Upgrade haucht alten Häusern, Scheunen oder Berghütten neues Leben ein und erkundet, wie Architekten und Designer Lebensräume durch kleine Veränderungen oder komplette Renovierungen umgestalten. Ob es sich um ein ausgebautes Dachgeschoss oder ein altes Fabrikgebäude handelt, das in ein modernes Büro und ein gemütliches Heim umfunktioniert wird, oder um neue Holzfassaden, die kontrastreich zu alten Backsteinwänden stehen – beeindruckende Projekte laden dazu ein, alte Bausubstanz neu zu betrachten. Eine baufällige Scheune, ein heruntergekommenes Stadthaus oder eine halb zerstörte historische Gebäudefassade können die Grundlage für außergewöhnliche Architektur sein. Dieses Kompendium zeigt, wie aus einem alten Schuppen ein neues Kinderzimmer entsteht, eine Garage zum Gästehaus avanciert oder eine Alpenhütte zum modernen Feriendomizil wird. Auch mit kleinem Budget lassen sich aus alten Mauern Neues und Begehrenswertes schaffen. Die Projekte demonstrieren, wie man vorhandene Gebäude und Materialien mit Kreativität neu erfindet und Altes mit Modernem verbindet. Architekten berichten von Herausforderungen und den ungeahnten Potenzialen in alten Gebäuden. Vorher- und Nachherfotos zeigen beeindruckende Verwandlungen und dienen als Inspiration für alle, die bewahren statt zerstören möchten.

Other rules apply to the fashion of the future. New technologies and materials make things possible today that couldn't have even been imagined in the past. High-tech fabrics and melting forms are no longer science fiction but reality. Inspired by the odd, mutant, and deformed, many designers and stylists are now redefining clothing to expand the body and speculate on the evolution of identity; from wearables to the utter transfiguration of the human silhouette. 'Otherworldly' showcases a fashion avant-garde between futurism and fetish. Featuring work by emerging talents and established designers such as Alexander McQueen, Martin Margiela, Lucy McRae, Peter Popps, Iris van Herpen, and others, it not only explores groundbreaking developments but also their fruitful interplay with photography.
The retro-futuristic epoch is one of the most visually spectacular in architecture’s history. The utopian buildings of the 1960s and 1970s never go out of style. This book compiles radical ideas and visionary structures. Driven by idealistic visions, utopian architecture aimed to overcome social divisions and political strife, to put us in touch with nature, and to enable us to live humane, healthy lives. For half a century, it was both hope and inspiration. The Tale of Tomorrow surveys this diverse twentieth century phenomenon, featuring renowned works like The House of the Century or the TWA terminal, as well as lesser-known masterpieces, and profiling major thinkers such as Oscar Niemeyer, Le Corbusier, and Eero Saarinen. By digging through archives, corresponding with descendants of departed architects, and restoring photographs, the collection of utopian approaches herein maintains a visual power and infectious optimism. Looking at past dreams, The Tale of Tomorrow is a call to reclaim our future.
Wenn es darum ginge ein Haus zu bauen in dem alle Menschen gerne leben würden, dann wäre der Architekt wahrscheinlich ein Italiener, der Ingenieur vielleicht ein Deutscher, der Gärtner ein Brite, die Handwerker kämen wohl aus der Schweiz oder Japan. Der Interiordesigner des Hauses aber – und das ist sicher – käme am Besten aus Skandinavien. Kaum ein Interior- und Produktdesign ist so zeitlos, so funktional, so hochwertig und so ästhetisch, wie das aus Schweden, Norwegen, Finnland, Island und Dänemark. Zahllose Möbel, Objekte und Bauten aus skandinavischen Ländern wurden zu Ikonen der internationalen Design- und Architekturgeschichte. Die aktuelle Generation an Gestaltern greift diese Tradition nachhaltiger Gestaltung bewusst auf und entwickelt sie konsequent, intelligent und geschmacksicher fort. In Northern Delights begegnen sich Klassiker und junge Talente, einzelne Produkte und behutsam inszenierte Lebensräume. Die Maserung verschiedener Hölzer, die Klarheit von buntem Glas, die fröhliche Farbigkeit von Stoffen und Mustern und dazu die Qualität der handwerklichen Verarbeitung machen skandinavisches Design so besonders. Sie sind die Zutaten mit den sich einfache, einladende und dabei sehr gemütliche Wohnungen einrichten lassen. Northern Delights bietet Anregungen für Designer, Architekten und Privatpersonen gleichermaßen. In einer skandinavischen Wohnung fühlt jeder zuhause.
WICHTIGER HINWEIS: Dieses Buch ist in zwei unterschiedlichen Covern erhältlich: die Gentlemen Edition und die Rebel Edition. Die Inhalte sind identisch, die Bücher unterscheiden sich lediglich durch ihre ISBN. Männer und Motorräder sind tief in der Tradition und dem Freiheitsgefühl der 1960er-Jahre verwurzelt. In The Ride 2nd Gear wird die Kraft und Schönheit der selbstgebauten Maschine thematisiert. Lokale Custom-Motorcycles-Werkstätten, die sich um Biker-Szenen weltweit entwickelt haben, sind Zentren des Handwerks und der Kreativität. Hier entstehen Motorräder an besonderen Orten, oft geführt von Einzelpersonen, die Geheimtipps sind. Der Fokus liegt nicht auf Luxusmodellen, sondern auf der Kreation individueller Maschinen aus alten Teilen und unattraktiven Fertigmodellen. Dieser Prozess erfordert Hingabe, technisches Wissen und handwerkliches Geschick. Die Werkstätten produzieren Einzelstücke und Archetypen, die einzigartig und oft qualitativ überlegen sind. Die Custom Bikes bieten Fahrgefühle, die mit Serienmodellen nicht vergleichbar sind. The Ride 2nd Gear zeigt, wie Vintage im besten Sinne bewahrt, verbessert und erweitert wird, während moderne Technologien die Eigenbau-Motorräder noch besser und schneller machen. Hier zählt weniger der Komfort als der richtige Klang und das authentische Fahrgefühl.
A guide for those who want to be impeccably stylish, this book presents iconic men’s clothing and those who wear it, as well as leading brands and manufacturers.
Following today’s intrepid adventurers, this atmospheric book is a visual journey to the most beautiful and breathtaking places in the world. So pack your backpack, lace up your shoes —don’t forget the camera —and go.
Draußen zu sein bedeutet, Wind, Sonne, Wasser und die Natur in vollen Zügen zu erleben. Mit Thermoskanne, Zelt, Hund und vielleicht einer Axt oder einem Notizbuch begibt man sich auf Abenteuer – sei es mit dem Campingbus, Mountainbike, Motorrad, Kanu oder zu Fuß. Diese Sehnsucht zieht urbane Nomaden und Kreative aus Städten wie Portland, Berlin, Helsinki, Kapstadt und Tokio an. Es wird das Lebensgefühl dokumentiert, das nach Ruhe, Balance und Abenteuer strebt, als Ausgleich zum Alltag. Die Mobilität und der Fokus auf Wesentliches spiegeln sich in der erfolgreichen Outdoor- und Lifestyle-Industrie wider, die aus dieser kreativen Szene entstanden ist. Neue Marken und Manufakturen präsentieren ein modernes Bild des Globetrotters, mit Produkten, die leichter, besser und nachhaltiger sind und Handwerk mit Hightech sowie Design verbinden. Die praktischen Anforderungen der Wildnis treffen auf die ästhetischen Bedürfnisse designaffiner Stadtmenschen – stimmungsvoll und mit einem Hauch von Ironie. Ähnlich den Velo-Büchern von Gestalten werden hier Produkte und Personen vorgestellt, Stimmungen eingefangen und Illustrationen präsentiert. Es wird gezeigt, wie ein bekanntes Thema neu belebt werden kann, inspiriert von Menschen, die unseren Alltag hinterfragen und kreative Lösungen entwickeln, die das Leben bereichern.
Tradition with Attitude
Craftsmanship embodies quality, passion, and a distinctive mindset, showcasing products from small manufacturers experiencing a renaissance. As demand for durable, meaningful items grows, consumers increasingly seek products with history that blend form, function, and emotion. This shift influences attitudes toward consumer and luxury goods, steering away from logos and fleeting trends towards objects of true value that resonate personally. The focus is on businesses prioritizing craftsmanship and creating items with soul, merging tradition and innovation from raw materials to finished products. The book highlights small enterprises and the artisans behind them, who produce high-standard handicrafts, whether in furniture, porcelain, or leather goods. Each featured product represents today’s true luxury: a harmonious blend of creativity and craftsmanship that ensures quality and durability. Every page reflects the spirit of these heartfelt creations, emphasizing that they are much more than mere objects; they are expressions of artistry and dedication.
Eine Karte zu zeichnen heißt, die Welt besser zu begreifen. Seit Ewigkeiten nutzen Menschen die Werkzeuge der Kartographie, um ihr Umfeld im Kleinen und die Welt im Großen abzubilden und anderen zu vermitteln. Landkarten zeigen zum einen räumliche Zusammenhänge – Entfernungen, Dimensionen, Topografie – zum anderen aber sind sie immer auch eine Leinwand für unterschiedliche Darstellungsarten, für Illustration, Datenvisualisierung und Visual Storytelling. In Zeiten von Navigationssystemen und Google Maps bekommen diese persönlichen Interpretationen der uns umgebenden Wirklichkeit eine höhere Bedeutung. Gleichzeitig nutzen Zeitschriften, Tourismus und kommerzielle Anbieter diese neuen Karten, um Regionen zu erklären, das lokale Umfeld zu verorten, Stimmungen zu erzeugen und Geschichten zu erzählen. Eine neue Generation von Designern, Illustratoren und Kartografen entdeckt derzeit ihre Leidenschaft für die verschiedensten Formen de illustrativen Kartografie. A Map of the World zeigt das Spektrum ihrer Arbeiten, von akkuraten und überraschend detailreichen Darstellungen auf der einen, bis zu persönlichen, naiven und modernistischen Illustrationen auf der anderen Seite. Projekte aus aller Welt zeigen die Bandbreite von klassischen, lesbaren Karten und Atlanten, über kartografische Experimente, bis hin zu redaktionellen Illustrationen von Stadtansichten und Weltenbildern.
