Outdoor is in. The line between inside and outside has become blurred: more and more, the garden is considered an extension piece of the living room, a true multifunctional outside room with its own style and atmosphere, where one can lounge, relax, eat and enjoy oneself the whole year through. The word ‘garden’ implies greenery. Whether we talk about intimate, hidden corners, snug terraces or skilfully decorated conservatories, colourful flower accents and fanciful details of natural materials will determine the atmosphere and character of the green living room. For every occasion or personality, florist Katrien Vandierendonck has designed long lasting and stylish flower arrangements: dreamy romantic, colourful contemporary or minimalist zen. They let us enjoy to the full the possibilities of the outdoors. Outdoor Flower Designs is an inspiring book brimming with fun and surprising ideas to jazz your garden room. Text in Dutch, English

Outlines the practical realities faced by a design professional when trying to balance a client brief and environmental conditions with creative inspiration. How do our minds work when we design? How do we organise and assimilate information, create and evaluate options, and make decisions? These questions have fascinated and absorbed architect and sculptor Richard Bertman (FAIA) since his graduate school days. Now, after a 40-year career, Bertman has used the design of a vacation house as an experiment to explore these questions. The result, documented in 'The Design Process and the Art of the Single Family Home,' is a fascinating and revealing insight into the creative process. With detailed notes and sketches, Bertman charts each stage of the design process, questioning and examining why certain decisions are made, how problems are solved, and generally exploring the processes involved in creative thinking.
