Whether it's horror at plastic littering the world's beaches, or despair at the melting of the polar ice caps, the world is gradually waking up to the impending climate disaster. In The Green Imperative, Papanek argues for design that addresses these issues head on. This means using materials that can be recycled and re-used, no more pointless packaging, thinking about how products make us feel and engage all our senses, putting nature at the heart of design, working at a smaller scale, rejecting aesthetics for their own sake, and thinking before we buy.

First published at the close of the 20th century, the book offered a plethora of honest advice, clear examples and withering critique, laying out the flaws and opportunities of the design world at that time. A quarter of a century on, Papanek's lucid prose has lost none of its verve, and the problems he highlights have only become more urgent, giving today's reader both a fascinating historical perspective on the issues at hand and a blueprint for how they might be solved.

Over the past century, the way we represent architecture has shifted from hand drawing, to computer-aided drafting, to AI-driven image- and world-making. Yet the most profound transformation in architectural visualisation has occurred not with its tools and techniques, but in the role that it plays: it is now the primary medium through which we imagine our cities, their values and their potential. In the argument for the future, it is our lingua franca.

In this richly illustrated book, editors Paul Loh and Andrei Dolnikov examine the work of 14 leading architectural visualisation practitioners. Drawing on decades of teaching and practice, the book examines how digital image-making influences the contemporary built environment, while redefining the boundaries between architecture, graphic design, film, and digital and experiential art.

The second monograph on one of the world's pre-eminent architects - a follow-up to Kengo Kuma Complete Works, first published in 2012 and updated in 2018.

Kengo Kuma is one of Japan's leading architects and Professor Emeritus at the University of Tokyo. Widely known as a prolific writer and philosopher, he proposes architecture that opens up new relationships between nature, technology and human beings. In this book, Kuma's second monograph, forty projects are arranged according to building use, with a timely focus on those that respond to natural disasters and the pandemic, build on the importance of local communities and address our need to come together with other people.

The projects range in scale and ambition, from Japan's Olympic Stadium - where Kuma used timber from every region in the country to build the nation's largest arena - to a small community centre in Yusuhara and a fairytale museum in Denmark. Each celebrates Kuma's skill using natural materials, as he pushes these to their limits to create exciting and surprising forms.

A substantial introduction by Grace La considers Kuma's progression since the last book, as well as exploring the themes of his work and how they relate to the architecture world today. The projects for inclusion - stadiums and cultural centres, museums and houses, cafés and parks, temples and pavilions - have been chosen by Kuma himself as best representative of this stage in his career. None appear in the previous book.

Small footprint design that proves living better doesn't have to mean living larger.

Following the success of their first book, the second volume of Never Too Small showcases 30 new and outstanding homes from around the world that explore small space living.

Framed by five small-footprint design principles, the book features beautiful photography, detailed floor-plans and accessible architectural commentary on each of the 30 homes.

Championing the work of award-winning architects and designers, Never Too Small offers an inspiring model for the future of housing-one where sustainability and style, comfort and affordability can co-exist.

Praise for Never Too Small:

\"Full of inspiration we can each apply to our own spaces, this is a book that offers hope and inspiration for a future of our cities and their citizens in which sustainability and style, comfort and affordability can co-exist. Never Too Small proves living better doesn't have to mean living larger.\" - Uro Books

\"After years of recommending the YouTube channel to anyone who will listen, this book celebrates thoughtfully and ingeniously designed small urban spaces in all their variety.\" - Kinokuniya Books

\"This has to have been my favourite book of 2022. Good design goes a long way, especially in a small space, and Creative Director Colin Chee has gone all-out in this book to share that message.\"- Chicane Magazine
