* Desde los icebergs del mar de Weddell, en la península Antártica, hasta los glaciares canadienses del Parque Nacional y Reserva de Kluane; desde la Patagonia argentina hasta las cumbres nevadas del Himalaya, Sebastio Salgado ha captado varios cientos de imagenes que constituyen un testimonio del encanto imperecedero de uno de los entornos mas hostiles para el ser humano, y a la vez, uno de los mas esenciales para garantizar la vida en la Tierra.* Un proyecto que ofrece la valiosa oportunidad de conocer y confrontar uno de los desafios mas apremiantes de nuestro tiempo: la crisis climatica y la imperiosa necesidad de salvaguardar ecosistemas naturales tan delicados y vitales como las montañas y sus glaciares. * Los glaciares actuan como centinelas del cambio climatico, y su reciente y acelerada fusion es un testimonio irrefutable de que el mundo se calienta a una velocidad nunca vista con anterioridad.. En 1946, con esta vision sublime y melancolica, Primo Levi concebia el glaciar como una figura casi mitologica que infunde miedo, que cruje y ruge, y que se encuentra habitado por una fuerza triste. La realidad, hoy, dista mucho de aquella imagen: los glaciares, amenazados por la crisis climatica, son, sin embargo, pilares fundamentales para el equilibrio del planeta y para nuestra existencia.Desempeñan un importante papel en la regulacion del clima terrestre: al reflejar eficazmente la radiacion solar, impiden que se caliente en exceso la superficie del planeta. Son, ademas, las torres de agua de las llanuras: de los glaciares depende el suministro de agua potable para dos mil millones de personas y para dos tercios de la agricultura de regadio mundial.

Sobre el suelo del bosque, le espera un mundo de maravillas. Las casas en los árboles siempre han cautivado nuestra imaginación: son símbolos de escapismo, de veranos juveniles interminables y de una profunda conexion con la naturaleza. Pero hoy han evolucionado y ya no son solo escondites infantiles, tambien son maravillas arquitectonicas que combinan sostenibilidad y diseño de vanguardia.aAsi pues, suba y explore 62 extraordinarias casas en los arboles de todo el mundo, cada una con su propia y fascinante historia. No existe un modelo, y adoptan diversas formas: unas se anclan en imponentes ramas, otras imitan las formas de los arboles, y algunas se ocultan entre el follaje sin tocar un solo tronco. Pero todas comparten un mismo objetivo: acercarnos a la naturaleza.aEsta hermosa coleccion de obras para uso personal y de arquitectos de renombre mundial se organiza en cinco capitulos. Descubra casitas de juegos infantiles, donde los niños exploran los limites de la aventura; cabañas escondidas, que ofrecen retiros apartados para escritores, soñadores y amantes de la soledad; casas-observatorio, con asientos en primera fila para admirar las maravillas naturales; alojamientos vacacionales, donde el lujo entre las copas de los arboles ofrece escapadas

Nature and organic forms transformed into atmosphere and dreams have defined Itziar Guzmán s work: trees, leaves, forests, shells, seas, mists, and landscapes distilled through the camera to their essential form. Photographs are the raw material through which she has constructed a new space, without renouncing playfulness or beauty, allowing air and ideas to flow freely. Hers is a poetic, suggestive world that neither imposes nor delimits. Guzman s book To the Greenhouse features twelve greenhouses in Europe and creates a dreamlike space open to the imagination through its focus on inanimate things that one can feel when looking at them in silence and solitude.

La historia de la participación femenina en el diseño de interiores es rica y variada. Si bien es una disciplina en la que las mujeres gozan de igualdad de oportunidades con los hombres, suele enmarcarse como una practica de diseño especialmente adecuada para ellas, relegada al papel heroico de la arquitecta o la diseñadora de muebles. Esta oportuna encuesta explora como las mujeres han moldeado el entorno construido mas alla de los confines del hogar, revelando sus carreras como autenticas creadoras de tendencias de los siglos XX y XXI. Making Space destaca el trabajo diverso e influyente de 250 mujeres que diseñan interiores conocidas, desconocidas y emergentes de mas de 50 paises. Las diseñadoras presentadas representan una gran variedad de estilos, desde el maximalismo extravagante hasta el minimalismo ingeniosamente organizado. Destacan nombres como Rose Uniacke, Kelly Wearstler y Brigette Romanek; Pioneras, como Dorothy Draper, Sybil Colfax y Elsie de Wolfe; y aquellas que han sido practicamente borradas de la historia. Hermosamente diseñada e ilustrada con cientos de impactantes fotografias, Making Space inspirara a quienes se preocupan por los espacios en los que viven. Las diseñadoras que aparecen incluyen a: Sophie Ashby, Sofia Aspe, Gae Aulenti, Kelly Behun, Madeleine Castaing, Sibyl Colefax, Athena Calderone, Ilse Crawford, Olayinka Dosekun-Adjei, Dorothy Draper, Nathalie y Virginie Droulers, Shahira Fahmy, Beata Heuman, Katie Lockhart, Yana Molodykh, Tekla Evelina Severin y Pamela Shamshiri.
