Pool design
Today pools come in all shapes, sizes, materials and designs in part propelled by rapidly evolving wellness and fitness trends that has shaped the look and the function of these glittering blue bodies of water. Tranquility and relaxation from work are central themes when designing business hotels, wellness retreats and spas. Paired to these aspects are the demands for water jets and Jacuzzis as well as additional rooms for massages, relaxation, beauty treatments, steam rooms, saunas and far eastern relaxation exercises. The materials used - wood, stone and stoneware - additionally enhance the beauty of the forms and the simplicity or complexity of the designs. This book includes a selection of 58 of the most interesting pool designs by international architects, not only in private, but also public buildings, hotels, holiday resorts and spas.

Restaurant design
There are few planning tasks that so clearly show the effects of globalization as the design of restaurants. This often has less to do with the uniformity of international companies such as Starbucks and McDonalds, and more to do with the central concept of corporate identity in system gastronomy. The result is a visual design that requires the same chairs for Starbucks in China as for Starbucks in Alaska. McDonalds employs the same notion, varying local decoration from time to time. In contrast, individual concepts - the main theme of this book - are as diverse as ever. Perhaps it's even possible that the will to experiment has increased, thanks to new materials and innovations in lighting. Contemporary restaurant design, however, seems to be taking less and less notice of regional culture, at least in cities. Whether Mark Newson creates a property in London or New York - such as the Lever House, opened in 2003 - the design displays his signature, unmistakeably and regardless of location. But this design-internationalism is anything but uniform. Just the opposite: one notices a willingness to "quote" from different references. These references connect to anything that induces a positive effect in us and helps us to make sense of our world. Architects and designers have always bound up their own ideas with everything that they have observed and enjoyed. Today, through the joy of travel and instruments such as the internet, they can see even more, and on a global level. Just as chefs around the world amalgamate different national and regional cuisines into "fusion", so are new worlds of spacial experience constructed, with unusual combinations of style, colours, materials and lighting. This publication presents 57 examples of this phenomenon, from Los Angeles to Sydney, from London to Tokyo and from Berlin to Lima. On 400 pages with more than 600 vivid colour images and sketches, it shows a diverse range of the newest developments in restaurant design from around the world - a wonderful source of inspiration. Предисловие к изданию на английском, французском, немецком, испанском, итальянском языках.

Roof Design
Since streets become increasingly crowded, living on the top of a building promises privacy and distance. Rooftops have become the symbol of a new lifestyle - an extension and exclusive enjoyment of an area traditionally unused: the architectural crown of a building has been transformed into a new area for work or living. Architects, designers and town planners have seen in this final section of a building their last chance to let their fantasies run free and to dramatically shape the cities' skylines with extensions, attics and unique tops. This volume delivers a very close insight in the divers possibilities of the roof design of residential, corporative and other buildings.

Show Design
Trade fairs and showrooms are an increasingly important marketing investment for all kinds of companies and the design of these temporary displays is a growing and constantly changing industry. Both showrooms and trade fair exhibitions serve to showcase and demonstrate a company's new products and services and to convey their brand philosophy. Doing this effectively is not an easy task and best left to marketing and design specialists. Trade fairs are especially tricky as the design of the company's booth is an increasingly powerful sales strategy. The importance of these professional shows is clearly reflected in the huge number and variety of these events held all over the world. With thousands of visitors seeing yours and thousand of other company's booths, the pressure is on to make yours stand out from the rest. Considering the visitor will spend no more than a maximum of 15 minutes at each stand, designers need to clearly get the company's message across in the least possible time, using innovative solutions and technologies. Similarly, showrooms are a way of advertising the product, making the layout and positioning of the wares a carefully considered task. The word "showroom" may evoke images of the first purpose-built car showrooms, which began to proliferate at the time of the mass-production of cars at the beginning of the 20'th century. Nowadays, however, a huge array of products, from sanitary ware and electronics to upholstery, fashion, lighting and furniture, to mention but a few, are investing in showrooms of all sizes and fashions. This book intends to show the great lengths some companies will go to in order to be seen and, more importantly, to be remembered. The following pages will present a wide selection of trade fairs and showrooms from around the world created by established and emerging designers.

Layout Maria, Lleonart Aitana, Castell Carballo Eugenia Contemporary Corporate Architecture
Throughout history, institutions and governments have always constructed large and ostentatious buildings as a way of demonstrating their power. By means of this aspect of design, many fast-growing, predominantly young but established companies have publicized their growth and shored up their identity at the same time. Contemporary Corporate Architecture has become a further element of a company's identity, achieved through the cooperation of several disciplines such as visual communications, marketing and graphic design, among many others. Sustainability is an aspect increasingly present in this type of architecture, which incorporates different elements to reduce environmental impacts, particularly in relation to the type of materials used in construction.

Public spaces become gathering points and recreational areas where neighbours can meet and contribute to socio-urban interaction.
