Contemporary interior design is largely defined by the creation of diverse spaces that can be experienced with all of the senses. The novel combination of the design elements colour, fabric, glass and light gives birth to dramatic spatial vibrancy, creating interior ambience that ranges from restful to elegant and conjuring up a sense of movement and vitality in residential and working environments. Thus, for example, the particular effectiveness of light - its refraction and concentration, absorption and reflection, colour and rhythm - is effectively made manifest in combination with glass. This illustrated volume opulently presents a unique selection of over 6o notable designed interiors - ranging from private residences to small businesses and major public buildings. Architecte, interior designers and artists demonstrate how the personality of a given space can be decisively formed through an innovative interplay of materials. The projects included here are presented in such a way as to provide the reader with a source both of inspiration and information, taking them on a spectacular tour of the sensuous treasures hidden within these spaces.
Without having to rely on the power of engines, sailing yachts glide effortlessly through the waves, fulfilling dreams of freedom, adventure, luxury or relaxation. Next to the challenges posed by using materials and spatial concepts that must withstand the forces of wind and water, designers and shipyards must also creatively comply with the increasingly extravagant wishes of the owners. Current trends include extremely flexible fittings that turn the time spent on board into a very special experience such as a cockpit table that converts into a sun bed with a simple twist of the hand, or into an inviting lounge at the push of a button. This book presents a selection of 40 sailing yachts constituting the entire range of available models of this type of boat from racers to cruisers, and from the 7 meter-long maritime design gem to the luxury-class mega-yacht with a length of more than 100 meters.

Les conteneurs sont la manifestation la plus évidente de la mondialisation. Robustes, standardisées, à bon marché et faciles à assembler entre elles, ces boîtes d'acier de vingt ou quarante pieds de long réduites à l'essentiel sont de plus en plus fréquemment utilisées comme matériau de construction : les architectes contemporains affectionnent de les empiler ou de les aligner, de les découper ou de les couvrir d'un toit, afin d'en faire des unités d'habitation implantées dans une multitude de contextes différents. Par leur esthétique minimaliste et leur côté pratique, les conteneurs permettent de réaliser aussi bien des bâtiments temporaires que des solutions expérimentales ou des ensembles sophistiqués et complexes.
