Kharkiv
Today Kharkiv's unfortunate geographical position on the eastern edge of Europe makes it a frequent target for the Russian army's relentless shelling and airstrikes. Yet, not long ago, Ukraine's second-largest city was a vibrant centre of student life, progressive art, intellectual thought, and techno-logical innovation, all spiced by the tough post-industrial identity of its citizens. Born from waves of migration, modernization, industrialization, and revolution, Kharkiv trod a stormy path from its origins as a Cossack military fortress to a period (1919-1934) when it was the capital of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. This decade and a half was a golden age, marked by a dramatic construction boom that turned Kharkiv into a legendary Modernist city. In this publication author Ievgeniia Gubkina takes the reader on a journey through the city's history and architecture, from its Old Centre to its New Centre, home to Derzhprom, a Constructivist gem which was also the embodiment of a new model of social and economic relations. This architectural guide is a tribute to the indomitable spirit of freedom of Kharkiv's citizens. But it is also an important act of remembering and resistance: in documenting the city's buildings in words and photographs even as many of them are, day after day, being destroyed by Russian bombs, it keeps them intact and alive in our minds as a model for the city's future.
Composing Olana
The first and only book devoted to the landscape Frederic Church designed at Olana--what he considered his greatest work of art--timed to coincide with the bicentennial of his birth Modelled on her acclaimed On the High Line (now in its third edition from Fordham University Press), Composing Olana unfolds as a series of walks along the seven carriage roads Frederic Edwin Church built here in 1860s-1880s. Along the way, LaFarge unpacks the history of everything we see, and much that we don't, in the greater landscape, from the Ice Age geology that created it to the artists and conservationists who preserved it. We learn about lesser-known women painters of the Hudson River School; the Native Peoples who lived here before the Europeans arrived; and the mentorship of Church's only teacher, Thomas Cole. Archival letters, diaries, and historic accounts reveal Church's vital role in preserving Niagara Falls; his contributions to Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art; and his engagement with music, photography, and global exploration throughout the second half of the nineteenth century. Published to coincide with the 200th anniversary of his birth, Composing Olana enables readers to finally comprehend Church's vital, and still not properly recognized, place in the American story. Illustrated with dozens of historic and contemporary photographs, it is both a guidebook and a meditation on American art, landscape, and preservation. An innovative companion website, OlanaBook.com, provides hundreds of photos, audio clips from the soundscape, and an interactive version of the specially created "Rambler's Map." Designed as an accessible and lively companion for armchair readers and park visitors, Composing Olana shows why this landscape, still intact today, matters so profoundly in the history of American art and public parks.

Five Buildings by Frank Gehry
Exploring Frank Gehry's early career through five buildings he designed using scrappy materials and low-cost constructionThis book presents five lesser-known buildings by Canadian American architect and designer Frank Gehry (born 1929) from an early stage in his decades-long career. Gehry is best known for his iconic building designs including the Vitra Design Museum in Germany, the Guggenheim Bilbao in Spain, the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the Dancing House in Prague. Photographed by the renowned Swedish architectural photographer Johan Dehlin, this selection of lesser-known early works, built in the late 1970s and early 1980s, laid the foundation for Gehry's international breakthrough a decade later. During this early period in his career, Gehry experimented with low-cost construction and "off the shelf" materials in creating a series of highly inventive projects in the Los Angeles area. Johan Dehlin's previously unseen pictures of Gemini G.E.L. (1979), Spiller House (1980), Indiana Avenue Houses (1981), Benson House (1984) and Norton House (1984) are accompanied by newly reproduced drawings of the architect and a series of texts that provide fresh critical perspectives.

Battersea Power Station
Having stood empty for almost forty years since being decommissioned in 1983, Battersea Power Station reopened its doors to great fanfare in 2022. Originally designed in the 1930s by renowned architect, Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, the Grade II* Listed Power Station's thirty-year neglect had created a modern ruin. It was in a critical state of disrepair when it was purchased in 2012 by an ambitious consortium of Malaysian investors who entrusted architects WilkinsonEyre with the design of its repair and regeneration. Battersea Power Station - The Architectural Rebirth of a Romantic Ruin charts the practice's journey and processes to transform the building - one of the largest brick structures in the world and one of the UK's most recognizable landmarks - from twentieth century industrial relic to the sustainable heart of a thriving new London district.

The Birth of Art Deco: Ruhlmann and the H繫tel Du Collectionneur, 1925
As his starting point for the aesthetic we have come to love as Art Deco, French furniture and interior designer E.-J. Ruhlmann's pavilion at the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts D矇coratifs et Industriels Modernes presented the fair's most celebrated displays and thereby began our enduring appreciation for the international design idiom. This book celebrates the 1925 Paris Exposition--at its centenary--a landmark event that shaped twentieth-century design and gave its name to Art Deco. The exposition dazzled over sixteen million visitors during its run, showcasing the pinnacle of French luxury goods and design innovation. Renowned as the preeminent exponent of French Art Deco, Ruhlmann (1879-1933) was recognized for the aesthetic refinement, luxurious materials, and impeccable craftsmanship of his creations. Inspired by eighteenth-century pleasure pavilions, Ruhlmann's pavilion, L'H繫tel du Collectionneur (The Town House of the Collector), was one of the most admired exhibits at the fair. Conceived as a modern-day Trianon, it was filled with his own sumptuous furnishings together with a meticulous selection of objets d'art by his contemporaries, including Edgar Brandt, Jean Dunand, and Jean Puiforcat. Central to this publication is a facsimile of the original catalogue documenting the pavilion. The book offers a detailed examination of the pavilion's architecture and interiors, revealing how Ruhlmann's vision set standards for luxury and taste in the interwar period. Although the pavilion existed for only six months, it left a lasting legacy as one of the most refined examples of Art Deco, embodying both the opulence and the innovative spirit of the era.
365 Spaces of the Americas
In 2018 I decided to draw one space of the Americas every day, and post it on social media platforms. The idea came from the realization that we don't know our own spatial history. Drawing one space everyday helped me investigate our history and I learned a lot in the process working on spaces that I had never heard about before. And that is the root of the problem, our history has been erased, kept invisible. I hope those drawings prompt you to learn more, as they did to me.
Home Again
James Farmer shows that you can go home again--to welcoming Southern style regardless of your location or time of life. A house is a dwelling and structure, while home evokes the emotions and memories of a life well lived. A home is where the seasons meld into one another and the next thing we know, a decade has flown by. Home welcomes us after long days, work trips, and the ever-changing rhythm of life. Home evolves, and d矇cor is a key part of that, whether it's redecorating or remodeling. In this book, Farmer takes you on a tour of homes that he and his team have designed across the country. Places that evoke the seasons of clients' families and set the stage for seasons to come. From the farmlands of Georgia to the Carolina Lowcountry, the Blue Ridge Mountains to the citrus groves of Florida, to college towns, Martha's Vineyard, and a cottage in Mississippi, the homes on display are inspirations in traditional Southern style and reminders that traditional d矇cor can set the tone to celebrate our homes wherever they are.

Abundance Not Capital
What if architecture were not an instrument of capital? How to imagine and build a non-extractivist and non-exploitative architecture. Capital's voracious appetite forces architecture into a regime of "never enough." The current realities of building involve extraction and exploitation, which, in turn, cause climate breakdown, environmental ruin, alienated labor conditions, and the destruction of local construction knowledge. But what if we could do architecture differently? What does non-extractivist architecture look like? In this book, Angelika Fitz and Elke Krasny introduce the concept of abundance to call for a paradigm shift in architecture. Using as its example the exceptional work of architect Anupama Kundoo, this book shows that non-extractivist and non-exploitative architecture is undeniably possible. Kundoo, born in Pune, India, weaves together innovative technological experimentation and traditional crafts. With careful consideration of local resources, building skills, climate, and environment, she makes buildings that embody spatial beauty and graceful materiality. Abundance Not Capital is a manifesto for creating a future-forward, alternative architecture.

Toronto Interiors
A survey of the leading interior designers and architects who are collectively defining the city's signature style. As perhaps the most diverse city in the world, Toronto is a veritable patchwork of cultures, styles, languages, and neighbourhoods--each with its own distinct architecture. With heritage rowhouses in Cabbagetown, glass towers overlooking Lake Ontario, narrow Victorian Bay-and-Gables in the Annex, grand Georgians in Rosedale, and wartime bungalows on the edges of the city, there truly is something for everyone. The interiors of these distinct home styles are no less unique, but, when taken together they exemplify the push and pull between heritage and modern sensibilities that has created a true design movement in this city on the lake. In Toronto Interiors, design writer Catherine Macintosh profiles 30 established and emerging local studios that are evolving the living spaces and streetscapes for the next generation of Torontonians. Whether bringing their talents to innovative renovations or new builds, these studios are crafting homes that are beautiful but not precious; homes that are made for how we live now. Within these deeply personal and highly functional spaces are moments of true creative brilliance--the artistic use of light, the seamless interplay between indoors and out, unique focal points, a careful mix of natural materials, and a delicate balance between old and new. The exemplary homes in Toronto Interiors feel at ease in their settings, adding to the city's unique urban landscape. Toronto Interiors spotlights a moment in time when high design and individuality are expertly applied by designers challenging the status quo, inspiring readers to look at their own spaces through a new lens. Featuring 90 projects brought to life in stunning full-colour photography, Toronto Interiors is a book to both read and dream on.
