In Japanese gardens, composition follows from placement of the first stone; all elements and plantings become interconnected. These eight essays on Kyoto gardens similarly begin with keen description and build into richly meditative excursions into art, Buddhism, nature, and science. Landscape architect Marc Keane shows how Japanese gardens are both a microcosm of the natural universe and a clear expression of our humanity, mirroring how we think, worship, and organize our lives and communities.

In 2005, childhood friends Matt Gibberd and Albert Hill set out to convince people of the power of good design and its ability to influence our well-being. They founded The Modern House - in equal parts an estate agency, a publisher and a lifestyle brand - and went on to inspire a generation to live more thoughtfully and beautifully at home.

Possession, they say, is nine-tenths of the law, but it is also what too many houses and towns lack. We are not possessed by our home places. This lost quality of dwelling—the soul of buildings—haunts most of our houses and our landscape. Dwelling in Possibility is a search for the ordinary qualities that make some houses a home, and some public places welcoming.

Sie kennen das - ein neues Haus, ein Apartment oder ein neues Zimmer - immer sind dort diese vier kargen Wände und sie schreien geradezu nach Ihrer Aufmerksamkeit. Ein Haus ist schließlich mehr als nur vier Wände. Es ist ein Zuhause - der Ort, an dem Sie Ihre erste WG gründen, Zweisamkeit mit dem Partner genießen oder sogar Ihre Kinder großziehen. Was und wo auch immer Ihr Zuhause ist - Sie verdienen es, sich dort wohl zu fühlen. Und das geht nicht ohne Einrichtungskonzept.

The pyramids of Egypt are such recognizable symbols of antiquity that for millennia, people have made assumptions about what they are and why they exist, without full consideration of the various meanings these ancient symbolic structures have had over the centuries. Generations have viewed them as symbols of a lost past, which in turn is often portrayed as a world full of romance and mystery.

Gerusalemme è dappertutto. Una presenza di cui l'Italia è investita per intero, grazie a un dialogo intessuto da secoli che trova espressione in ogni rigo della sua storia, in ogni pietra delle sue città. Una volta divenuti inaccessibili i Luoghi Santi, lembi di Terra Santa vennero infatti ricreati nel nostro paese. E intraprendere il cammino penitenziale attraverso santuari come il Sacro Monte di Varallo, il complesso delle Sette Chiese a Bologna, il Santo Volto di Lucca, San Vivaldo, Acquapendente nel Senese, il Santo Sepolcro di Brindisi significa ritrovarne le memorie.

Love Your Space is devoted to the subject of well-being and space design. Interior designers create environments that enhance the quality of life, work, health, and the experience of the users. A good designer will explore possible benefits with the users who sometimes might not realize or understand what might be even possible. Design can and should be a medium for encouraging positive change in attitudes to how we live and work.

The story of the Stuart dynasty is a breathless soap opera played out in just a hundred years in an array of buildings that span Europe from Scotland, via Denmark, Holland and Spain to England. Life in the court of the House of Stuart has been shrouded in mystery: the first half of the century overshadowed by the fall and execution of Charles I, the second half in the complete collapse of the House itself. Lost to time is the extraordinary contribution the Stuarts made to the fabric of sovereignty.

Alexandra Lange now turns her sharp eye to another subject we only think we know. She chronicles post-war architects’ and merchants’ invention of the mall, revealing how the design of these marketplaces played an integral role in their cultural ascent. In Lange’s perceptive account, the mall becomes newly strange and rich with contradiction: Malls are environments of both freedom and exclusion—of consumerism, but also of community. Meet Me by the Fountain is a highly entertaining and evocative promenade through the mall’s story of rise, fall and ongoing reinvention.

La historia de las ciudades más espectaculares de la Edad Media, desde América hasta el Lejano Oriente: una guía fundamental para descubrir estas ciudades de las que, en algunos casos, sólo quedaron las ruinas.

In addition to being one of the ancient wonders of the world, the Great Pyramid of Giza is extraordinary for a number of reasons. It is one of the greatest feats of engineering in the ancient world, to the extent that it remained the tallest built structure in the world from the time it was finished up until the Lincoln Cathedral was completed around 1300 CE.

The modern world has the ancient Romans to thank for the origins of many modern technologies, conveniences, and ideas, from running water, baths, and republican-style government to roads. Similarly, by the third century BCE, the Romans were prodigious monument builders, so much so that the memory of the great Roman Republic and the Roman Empire continues to exist within a cityscape of stone. Rome’s public spaces were filled with statues, arches, temples, and many other varieties of monumental images, and each of these structures had its own civic or religious function.
