Bamboo: A Material for Landscape and Garden Design
Of all the sustainable materials now available, none is more interesting than bamboo. Botanically classifi ed as a grass, bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on the earth, easy to harvest, alternately fl exible or stiff (depending on the application) and extremely strong (stronger, in fact, than steel), and is in use in applications as diverse as fl ooring, building structures, furniture, aeronautics, and high-end racing bikes. "Bamboo" is a portrait of this dynamic and amazing material and a guide to its many uses across the design spectrum. Striking color illustrations convey exhaustive technical and botanical information while experts in fi elds such as biotechnology, wood technology, and horticulture explain technical properties such as the different varieties, their methods of propagation and habitat requirements, as well as information on the uses of bamboo in numerous design situations. A must-have volume for any designer interested in materials.

Florian Bohm: Wait for Walk
Florian Bohm's recent Endcommerical/Reading the City demonstrated his infallible eye for the narrative details of city life with a study of what urbanists call "street furniture"--construction barriers, traffic signs and other sidewalk presences. This follow-up, Wait for Walk, turns the same cataloging eye to the humans navigating around those urban buoys. Bohm photographs passersby standing before traffic signals: motionless or fidgeting, lost in thought or deep in conversation, staring at nothing or sidetracked by a cell phone, chosen for him and posed for him by chance. Whether New Yorkers or tourists, rich or poor, their shared circumstance, a momentary pause, draws attention to the astonishing wealth of information each projects in posture, expression, clothing and possessions, wearing their identities on their sleeves. Bohm was born in Germany in 1969 and lives in New York.

Blobjects and Beyond: The New Fluidity in Design
Published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name at the San Jose Museum in March 2005, "Blobjects and Beyond is a survey and critical review of new designs in all categories, which celebrate and explore amorphic, organic, protoplasmic, and other "blobby" forms. From Karim Rashid's housewares and furniture to the iMac, blobjects are not faddish items, they are the direction that products have been going in for more than a decade, and represent the future of design. Featuring examples of industrial design, architecture, graphic design, digital media, furniture, and fashion design from the last 15 years, "Blobjects and Beyond focuses on widely available consumer products, as well as limited-production goods, individually crafted and customized pieces, one-of-a-kind conceptual projects, and examples of fine art that straddle the line between art and design.

Mario Botta: Architectural Poetics by Irena Sakellardiou, ISBN 0789305461
"Mario Botta: Architectural Poetics" is the newest book in the Universe architecture series. This volume presents the work of the Swiss-born architect who worked as an assistant to such architecture giants as Le Corbusier and Louis I. Kahn before starting his own firm in 1970 and achieving international fame. Botta' characteristic respect for topographical conditions and regional sensibilities, his deft craftsmanship and the importance of geometric order in his work are evidenced in thirty projects that range from smaller residential buildings to such grandiose projects as the Church of San Giovanni Battista, the Jean Tinguely Museum and, most famously, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. This detailed study also includes the designs he created for furniture and the stage. "Mario Botta: Architectural Poetics" is a thorough survey of the architectural and design work that launched Botta into the pantheon of modern architecture.
