Understanding Steel Design This comprehensive and highly visual manual on the fundamentals of designing and constructing with steel is based on the analysis of hundreds of steel buildings. The broad spectrum of case studies provides systematic instruction in established and specialized construction methods and in combining techniques to develop new solutions in steel construction.
Terri Meyer Boake: Understanding Steel Design
An Architectural Design Manual
WICKED! is about blood, violence, and weapons, about sex and genitals, bowels, bodily fluids, and decay. And yes, it is about design. It volatilely teases with physical and intense attractions and anxieties thrown onto everyday objects. One wonders: Who could I give it to?! From a distance we know how disgusting things can get, and usually we feel superiour to the wicked - or the bad taste. But it is thinkable for the observer to actually be revolting - to use objects and living beings in a way close to destruction, supression and decay. Just thinkable. For a moment. And then flip the page.
The leap it actually takes to realize what destruction and degradation are and how many other forms they take in our everyday lives needs quite a while. Our fascination with them is enjoyable from a distance. But right in the middle of the horror - of the waste of our energies - most of us would simply fold. In a hopeless, immobile situation that confronts us with our own destruction we do not know any answers.

GRÜNER WOHNEN / GREEN LIIVING
Where lifestyle and living environment are so closely intertwined, green living gives an expression of changing orientations in society. Out of a multiplicity of different standpoints, models for communal living are gradually emerging.
How green do we want our housing to be?
What are the essential criteria of a successful planning of open space in residential architecture? Will the changed relationship between city and country contribute to that, perhaps in the form of urban agriculture? Can conflicting demands on the landscape as a resource be resolved through new design ideas?
Grüner Wohnen / Green Living contains the best works of contemporary landscape architecture selected for the German Landscape Architecture Prize in 2011.

3D – GRAPHIC SPACES A man sits at an open window in a New York high-rise. He holds a sign bearing a single word: Over. Is he announcing the end of the world? Or is he about to jump?
This title highlights a current trend in international graphic design: more and more visual designers are staging their compositions as three-dimensional scenarios, in order to turn them into posters, magazin covers, web sites, and animated films. The result is a host of suggestive new pictorial worlds that range from playfully arranged still lifes to room-filling installations.

The Floor Plan Manual documents and analyzes 150 international housing projects since 1945. It shows the latest developments in housing and places them in the context of important examples from the past 65 years. This manual is distinguished by the typological and conceptual breadth of the projects it presents and by the extensive time period covered by the selection of samples.The focus is on projects that are exemplary and transferrable and on concepts that are innovative and trendsetting. A new feature - a diagram, a kind of figure-ground-plan, which accompanies each project - illustrates the unique characteristics and spatial qualities of each floor plan.

Urban Reset As a result of structural transformation many European industrial and infrastructure sites and residential areas have relapsed into vacant lots. Using exemplary projects urbanRESET succinctly describes the reactivation of these large-scale relicts, and demonstrates how the reinterpretation and reactivation of inert urban zones has evolved into a distinct category of urban-planning.
