An inspiring overview of contemporary homes set against the backdrop of high mountains, steep hillsides and picturesque valleys with a focus on architecture and interior design. From the majestic peaks of the Alps to the green slopes of Japan's Shikoku Range and the rugged heights of the Rocky Mountains: the selected residential buildings at such dizzying heights are a reminder that architecture not only creates spaces, but also shapes the relationship between human beings and their environment. They are creative showpieces that blend harmoniously and respectfully into the breathtaking nature of the mountain landscapes. Hillside locations present very special challenges and at the same time offer endless design possibilities. On the one hand, they open up spectacular views, while on the other they make innovative solutions for the room program possible. All the oases of modern living featured in this book demonstrate unique ways how esthetics, functionality, sustainability and adaptation to the topography can be felicitously combined.

Audiokniha: „Pokud byste měli přečíst pouze jedinou knihu o výživě, pak právě tuhle“ — Bee Wilson, novinářka a spisovatelka se zaměřením na výživu O knize Víte, čím krmíte sebe a své děti? Vydejte se na fascinující a zároveň děsivou cestu do světa ultrazpracovaných potravin. S pomocí vědy odhalíte, co skutečně jíte a proč moderní strava vede spíše než ke zdraví a rovnováze k chronickým nemocem, duševním chorobám a závislostem. Kromě nečekaného složení běžných potravin rozkrývá Chris van Tulleken také znepokojivé výrobní procesy a zákeřné marketingové taktiky, které nás nutí po těchto chemických pochoutkách sahat znovu a znovu. Smířit se s tím ale nemusíte. Autor, který se experimentálně zkusil měsíc stravovat stejně špatně jako typický britský teenager, ukazuje, jak se závislosti na „nejídle“ úspěšně bojovat a konečně převzít vědomou kontrolu nad tím, co denně konzumujeme. V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte - Průmyslové zpracování potravin snižuje obsah mikroživin tak drasticky, že způsobuje podvýživu a obezitu současně. - Nízkokalorické výrobky podporují přejídání navzdory tomu, že neobsahují cukr. - Nezdravá strava je celosvětově spojena s větším počtem úmrtí než kouření. - Mnoho průmyslových potravin je cíleně navrženo tak, aby byly návykové. - Jak rozvíjet schopnost rozhodovat se při nákupu zdravěji. Tato kniha navždy změní náš pohled na to, co máte na talíři. O autorovi Chris van Tulleken (* 1978) je britský lékař, vědec a popularizátor medicíny. Lékařský titul a doktorát získal na Oxfordské univerzitě, působí na University College London a moderuje oceňované pořady o zdraví a medicíně na BBC. S manželkou a dvěma dcerami žije v Londýně.

A nostalgic exploration of Britain’s distinctive and architecturally significant seafront buildings from the 1920s to the new millennium.British seaside resorts enjoyed phenomenal popularity for much of the twentieth century. Told chronologically, this book is the first look at how resort architecture around the UK coast kept pace with changing fashions and the increasing competition of foreign destinations.Using vintage postcard images, Kathryn Ferry showcases the inherent playfulness of seaside architecture as it evolved from interwar classicism, through art deco and international modernism, to Festival of Britain-inspired mid-century style, then later to seafront tower blocks and the artificial beaches of 1970s leisure centres. Featuring a wide range of building types, Twentieth Century Seaside Architecture explores everything from beach huts and bandstands to lidos, piers, theatres, hotels and amusement arcades.As climate change and the soaring cost of living provoke changing attitudes to travel, Britain’s seaside has witnessed renewed popularity, making now the perfect time to champion our architectural legacy of domestic tourism. Offering a compelling reassessment, Twentieth Century Seaside Architecture will appeal to fans of architecture and design who love to be beside the sea.

Of all the architectural delights of British seaside resorts, the most astonishing and idiosyncratic is the seaside pier. Remarkable visual spectacles, piers are architecturally extraordinary in concept and at times outrageous in execution. They brought together the Victorian genius for technological and material innovation, architectural ambition and engineering ingenuity in the search for new designs for leisure (as well as profit) over the sea. This superbly illustrated book explores the history of the design processes leading to the architectural and engineering innovations that have allowed people to walk on water in such diverse and delightful ways. Coverage includes the development of piers into the crowning architectural glory of British seaside resorts; the key people, materials, inventions and technologies in the field, particularly the work of Eugenius Birch, the greatest pier designer; the remarkable diversity of piers ranging from the earliest simple landing stages, through staid promenade piers and the glories of fully-fledged pleasure piers, to the boisterous joys of funfair and amusement piers; the rich variety of architectural styles, including exotic 'Orientalism' and streamlined Modernism and, finally, today's contemporary prospects for renewal and reinvention.

Back in print in an expanded edition, this richly illustrated survey of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s entire career is timed to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of their acclaimed Gates project  Christo (1935–2020) and Jeanne-Claude’s (1935–2009) landscape-scaled, outdoor projects were astounding temporary works of art in public settings that captured headlines across the globe. For sixteen days in February of 2005, their most celebrated installation, The Gates—7,500 saffron-colored fabric panels suspended from the tops of vinyl gates—stood along 23 miles of walkways in New York City’s Central Park.  This book celebrates the twentieth anniversary of The Gates with photographs of their installation alongside reproductions of the preparatory drawings that Christo created as he planned the project. An essay by Jonathan Fineberg surveys the career of Christo and Jeanne-Claude and their life journey through projects such as Surrounded Islands in Miami, The Umbrellas in Japan and California, Wrapped Reichstag in Berlin, and many more. This expanded edition also includes an epilogue that considers the artists’ works after The Gates—including Floating Piers in Italy and L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped in Paris—and a 2017 interview Fineberg conducted with Christo, one of the artist’s last.  This new edition is published on the occasion of two documentation exhibitions, curated by the artists in their lifetimes and presented to the public as the artists wanted them to be seen.  Exhibition Schedule:  Christo and Jeanne-Claude: The Gates and Unrealized Projects for New York CityThe Shed, New York (February 12–March 23, 2025)  Surrounded Islands Documentation ExhibitionNSU Art Museum, Fort Lauderdale (Opens February 23, 2025)
