As more and more people move into urban environments, there becomes
a greater need for space-conscious housing in our cities.
Collective Housing is a compilation of the best architectural
designs for shared and social housing in a city or urban
environment, where aesthetics are integral, and utilization of
space imperative. The projects featured come from cities around the
world, both those known for innovation in urban architecture, such
as Tokyo, London and Barcelona, and those aspiring to world-class
status. The book provides an illuminating look at the future of our
urban landscapes. Architectural plans and drawings are featured
alongside renderings and photographs of the completed housing
projects. The text accompanying the images provides further insight
into the design, execution and consideration of the space. The
architects featured were often constrained by existing structures,
small or awkward plots of land and strict city codes heightening
their creative sensibilities.

"Geometrix" is a visual delight that illustrates and explains
geometry's numerous potential applications in creating motifs,
patterns and designs that make use of abstract shapes such as
lines, circles, ellipses, triangles, rectangles and polygons. This
is an invaluable resource for those wishing to understand the key
elements of geometric graphics. To help with geometric
comprehension, "Geometrix" contains case studies of over 100
projects, covering brilliant graphic designers and outstanding
design agencies from all over the world, including the following:
Anagrama, Artiva, Berg, BRR, Designers United, G2K, Hort,
Madebysawdust, Since1416, Studio Newwork, Studio Lin, Associate and
Face. "Geometrix" is an indispensable guide to using geometric
shapes in the world of graphic design.
Highly stylized with delicate gestural flourishes or grounded in
abstract geometric forms, plant inspired graphics are instantly
distinguishable. With recognition of their forms hard-wired into
our brains, they provide comfort, a reminder of our shared
connection to the natural world and a balm to the austerity of
urban living. Some reinforce a companys green ethic or product
output others provide a renewable aesthetic to build visual
identity around. With petals or bracts, pinnate or palmate leaves,
one trunk or multiple stems - the seeds of inspiration are as vast
as the hundreds of thousands of known plant species in existence. A
