David Chipperfield worked for both Richard Rogers and Foster Associates before establishing his own practice in 1984. Often erroneously thought of as a minimalist architect, he has become one of the most conceptionally complex architects working today, thanks to the diversity and depth of his realized projects. Amongst his highly acclaimed projects are the River & Rowing Museum which was his first major commission in England, the Knight House, or the masterplan for the Museum Island in Berlin. More recently his projects include the Villa in Berlin-Schöneberg and the elegant office building in Düsseldorf. Chipperfield is also active in Milan, Venice, Madrid, the USA, and Japan. Beautifully designed by Quentin Newark this book presents with over 60 projects Chipperfield´s complete oeuvre. An essay focuses on his creative process and the architect's considerations on the architectonic development over the last decades. Jonathan Keates and Kenneth Frampton analyse key aspects of Chipperfield´s architecture.

Le Corbusier's ideas and works constitute the greatest single influence in the development of architecture in the 20th century. His passionately expressed philosophy has had an enormous effect on the urban fabric and the way we live. Weaving through his long and prolific life are certain recurrent themes - his perennial drive towards new types of dwelling, from the early white villas to the Unite d'Habitation at Marseilles; his evolving concepts of urban form, including the Plan Voisin of 1925; and his belief in a new technocratic order.

A comprehensive monograph of one of the most interesting architects working today.

The enduring fascination with mid-century modern design continues, yet many inspiring figures remain overlooked. Antonin and Nomi Raymond are now poised for recognition. This book serves as the first comprehensive English-language exploration of the duo who transformed design from 1917 to 1966. Renowned for their intricate structures built in Japan during the 1930s, the Raymonds had diverse careers that spanned factories, office buildings, churches, schools, and furniture, fabrics, and graphic design. They skillfully merged their European modern roots with local craft traditions from Japan, India, and rural Pennsylvania. Collaborating with prominent thinkers and artists such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Cass Gilbert, and Isamu Noguchi, the Raymonds drew inspiration from traditional Japanese architecture, emphasizing craftsmanship in all their projects. Their notable works include churches in Chicago, the Tokyo Tennis Club, the Pacific Cable Company Station in Guam, and the Golconde Dormitory in India, as well as modernist interventions in their own farmhouse in New Hope, Pennsylvania. Four essays complement this thorough examination, shedding light on the Raymonds' careers and highlighting a captivating yet overlooked chapter in mid-century modern design history.
