3. New Coastal Houses
Houses constructed in coastal areas come in a myriad of styles and designs but one thing they have in common is the fundamental role played by the presence of the sea. However different their styles, dimensions, construction materials, and the uses to which they are put, their proximity to water will have had the largest single influence on the way in which they have come into existence. In this case, location will have determined not only the orientation of the dwelling but also the layout of the internal spaces, size of windows, type of outside living areas, and to some degree protection from the elements. Features works by Silvia Gmur & Livio Vacchini, 10 Arquitectos, MVRDV and Toshiko Mori.

5. New Health Facilities
Hospitals and health centers are a unique category of architecture with clearly defined characteristics. Health architecture must offer imaginative, constructive responses and flexible solutions to the problem raised by this special type of facility: planning, budgets and space as well as the idiosyncrasies arising from each particular field of health. New Health Facilities presents the best examples of health architecture constructed in recent years and each of the architects demonstrates a solid understanding of the need to create new and better health facilities.

andscape Architects Urban Projects
Product Description:
Ken Smith is unquestionably one of the most interesting voices in landscape architecture; his works reflect the intensity and energy of their surroundings and challenge the distinction between landscape and art form. Ken Smith Landscape Architects/Urban Projects focuses on three prominent works in New York City: his East River Project; his work for P.S. 19; and his MoMA rooftop garden. Through Smith's colorful, playful drawings and photographs, the book reveals how each project explores new expressions of landscape design in the city.
Ken Smith Landscape Architects/Urban Projects is part of the Source Books in Landscape Architecture series sponsored by Ohio State University. These books present sketches, drawings, models, renderings, working drawings, and photographs. Each book focuses on a recent, important work or works at a level of detail that allows thorough study of the project from its conception to the completion of design and construction

Inclusive Urban Design: Public Toilets, First Edition
Inclusive Urban Design: Public Toilets, First Edition | 19.31 MB
'Hopefully, this book will inspire architects and city planners to work with industrial designers in building better toilets that benefit the public and increase civic pride. But Inclusive Urban Design: Public Toilets is a great read for anyone interested in architecture, urban planning and livability.'
Powells.com Staff Pick
'What do you mean, you don't want to read about public toilets? If you are under the impression that this is a boring book devoted to the arse-end of urban design then you're sorely mistaken. Chapter Six: Medical Perspectives - incompetence or incontinence? is a must read... On a serious note, it's brilliantly written - lots of sartorial humour in here surprisingly - and very informative.'
