Architect Charles R. Stinson conceives each project as a balance of space and light, where horizontal and natural light bring the outside in. The result is a living space that is both transcendent and grounding; a place that lifts the spirit and connects those who live there. Whether he is envisioning a family home or creating an entire community, Stinson views the compositional process as the art of 'putting families and friendships' together. Architect and client collaborate to define an architectural vision that seamlessly joins beauty with function and interior with exterior. The book explores Charles Stinson's most significant work, offering readers an opportunity to see the spaces that live and breathe light in his homes, commercial projects and neighbourhoods. Renowned photographer Peter Bastianelli-Kerze captures these compositions in full colour and scope. Stinson's own sketches add an intimate layer to this stunning collection of works.

Features more than 60 great homes from around the world.

Following the success of IMAGES' first 100 of the World's Best Houses book, we searched the globe for another collection of amazing houses. The result of this search is Another 100 of the World's Best Houses. Each house in this new volume has been selected for its unique and extraordinary qualities. The overwhelming theme is the way in which architects use their remarkable skills to relate these masterpieces to their various contexts and landscapes. Locations are as diverse as the houses themselves and include the coast of Peru, inner-city London, rugged Australian coastal sites, urban São Paulo, spectacular New Zealand alpine retreats and coastal hideaways, American prairies, frosty Oslo, the gorgeous West Indies, tropical Southeast Asia, suburban Lithuania, and Costa Rica, to name but a few.

CA 1 continues The Images Publishing Group's commitment to an annual showcase of contemporary architecture. Previously published as the International Architecture Yearbook, this annual series presents a snapshot of current architectural trends. The projects collected in this book are outstanding examples of ingenuity, innovation, cultural sensitivity and ecological preservation. Ranging from the playful to the sombre, from high-tech to historic, from cultural to commercial and all in between, they are among the finest contemporary examples of architecture's unfailing ability to improvise, surprise and delight. More than 50 architectural practices are featured. Many are multi-award-winning household names and some are rising stars in world architecture. Together they present a fascinating view of contemporary architecture.
