      Intelligente Gestaltung und Architektur für Kinder jenseits von Luxus und Mainstream. Nirgendwo ist der schlechte Massengeschmack so präsent wie dort, wo es um Gestaltung für Kinder geht. Wenn es nicht gerade die unvermeidlichen Bärchenmotive sind, werden Kinder heute als Statussymbole ausstaffiert. Umso wichtiger ist es, intelligente, geschmackvolle und kindgerechte Gestaltung und Architektur vorzustellen. In Play All Day zeigen junge Eltern und Gestalter wie es geht. Das Buch ist eine Sammlung kluger Produkte und innovativer Konzepte für Kinder. Das Spektrum reicht dabei vom zeitgemäßen Kindergarten über sinnvolles Spielzeug bis hin zum wunderschönen Baumhaus und neuen, spielerischen Wegen, für und mit Kindern zu gestalten. Mit Play All Day – Design for Children wird ein Gestaltungsbereich erwachsen, der bisher noch in den Kinderschuhen steckte.

      Chicago's Famous Buildings: Fifth Edition2003
    • These new titles in the Building Blocks series showcase four more icons of modern architecture, as portrayed by renowned architectural photographer Ezra Stoller. Two buildings by Frank Lloyd Wright, Fallingwater and Taliesin West, Louis Kahn's Salk Institute, and Mies van der Rohe's Seagram Building are shown in original condition, with original furnishings, as the architects intended them to be seen. Wright's integration of architecture and landscape, Kahn's dramatic yet humane monumentality, and Mies's austere elegance are revealed and preserved in Stoller's classic compositions. Small, elegant, and affordable, each volume presents the photo-graphs that made these structures famous. With 60 rich duotone plates (and 16 color plates for Taliesin West), a brief introduction, and newly drawn plans, sections, and elevations, these books constitute the essential photographic histories of the most important works of modernism.
