Hundreds of full-color photographs of innovative workspaces, both new and rehabilitated, plus detailed illustrations, sketches, and plan, make Workspaces Now a working vacation for architects, designers, and business managers.

When Enric Miralles passed away at age 45, in 2000, he left behind these 11 buildings in various stages of design and construction scattered all over Europe--in Barcelona, Edinburgh, Amsterdam, Utrecht and Venice, among other cities. All were under the auspices of the Enric Miralles-Benedetta Tagliabue studio, or EMBT, and this catalogue is organized and introduced by his wife and partner, Benedetta Tagliabue. She has assembled a range of valuable and almost exclusively unpublished material on the projects, extending from their gestation, documented in Miralles''s own unmistakable drawings and writings, to photographic records of their current progress, with some already completed and the rest well on their way. In between, readers will find photo collages, topographical maps, color swatches and project models, along with a previously unpublished text illustrated and signed by Miralles and a 30-minute DVD of a documentary directed by his friend Bigas Luna, depicting progress on the buildings in the years immediately following the architect''s death. EMBT: Work in Progress, records the resonant legacy of a great architect.

Wood has been a traditional construction material for centuries all over the world, as it still is in many places today. Now there is a growing interest in using wood in modern residential architecture. Architects today are drawn to it for a variety of reasons including its sustainability, versatility, economy, and natural beauty. As a result, this environmentally sustainable material is becoming increasingly significant in todays domestic architecture. Wood, intrinsically beautiful in all of its forms, can be used in practically any part of the construction from a heavy structural frame to finely detailed cabinetry, and from flooring to roof shingles.These volumes document wood used in different buildings and constructions. Each house profile is illustrated with the architects own plans and elevations and also numerous full color interior and exterior photographs that highlight the natural appeal of wood.
