How about an incentive in an igloo, a wedding in a submarine or a cocktail party in a triumphal arch? From traditional to contemporary, intimate to large-scale - Extreme Venues sought and found the most unique, eccentric and unusual venues on earth. A birthady party in the world´s biggest toy store, a gathering in a secret nuclear bunker or a meeting on one of the planet´s most rugged islands; it´s all possible. So is a reception on the Chinese Wall, a party in an abandoned railroad tunnel or a product presentation under the wings of the Space Shuttle. The event industry has never been quite so ...

John Pawson is one of the foremost proponents of Minimalism in architecture and design. Already known to designers for his austere yet luxurious interiors, he has attained public acclaim for his high-profile retail projects such as the Calvin Klein flagship store in New York, his celebrity clients like Martha Stewart and his book Minimum (Phaidon, 1996). This book traces the varied course of the relationships between an architect and his clients, between an architect and the design briefs set for him, and between the architect and his own intellectual approach to design and its impact on his work. The incisive text, with specially commissioned pictures, explores Pawson’s design process, working methods and philosophical approach, and illuminates the emotional and artistic content of his work. Through a close examination of ten diverse projects, Deyan Sudjic considers the way in which design is influenced by the processes of construction and making, and explores the nature and significance of the finished scheme. This book, a record of Pawson’s developing approach to design and his unique position at the intersection of art and design, offers insights into culture, society and ...

UN Studio, led by Dutch architects Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos, creates spaces that are surprisingly innovative. Their work doesn`t rehash Modernism but rather embraces the digital age via the invention of new, time-based techniques expanding the imagination, exploding the hierarchy of the design process, and encouraging the input of different disciplines. UN Studio`s architecture is the result of a design strategy that repeatedly and constantly advances in different ways via leitmotifs called "design models." The most important examples of this new kind of architecture are the New Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart and the Erasmus bridge in Rotterdam, which has become the town`s new landmark. Another manifest aim is to come up with fundamentally new ideas for complex infrastructure projects and to give these a contemporary structure that fosters future (including urban) development. This can bee seen, for example, at the central train station in Arnhem, at the Ponte Parodi pier in Genoa, and at the Canadian Centre for Architecture´s (CCA) prestigious "Competition for the Design of Cities." This book presents an overview of UN Studio`s work to ...
