"Moscou fut de tout temps une ville cordiale et accueillante, ouverte aux hommes entreprenants et pratiques. Aujourd'hui, il nous parait impossible de pre'tendre connaltre tant soit peu Moscou sans avoir visiter la Galerie Tretiakov, qui fut la premiere galerie privee d'art russe fondee en 1856. Ce muse'e de Fart national conserve actuellement non seulement les ceuvres proprement dites mais aussi l'esprit et les traditions introduites par son eminent fondateur, le ge'nereux negotiant Pavel Tretiakov. En 2006, la Galerie fetera son 150е anniversaire, mais elle reste jeune car die vit avec son temps. Lorsqu'en 1892, Tretiakov offrit ses collections d'art a la ville de Moscou, dies se composaient d'environ 2000 peintures, ceuvres graphiques et sculptures. Actuellement, la Galerie Tretiakov possede plus de 130 000 articles catalogues. Elle s'est agrandie territo-rialement aussi: l'exposition principale, comme a l'epoque de Tretiakov, se trouve dans la partie historique du...

Human beings are enchanted by Nature. The feeling that links humans to the abundance of vegetation and to water in its multiple forms, such as fountains, lakes or rivers, causes them to constantly search for these elements in their urban surrounding, where concrete prevails. Hence, one of the biggest challenges architects and landscape designers are faced with is the integration of nature into their designs, via swimming pools and gardens, thus providing memories of a paradise lost. Thanks to modern technology, architects today are able to exploit this natural force and satisfy even the most eccentric individual desires. Budget-permitting, they can create a rural oasis or even an ordered and minimalist Zen garden. This book takes us around the world through swimming pools and gardens, divided into public and private facilities, with a comprehensive selection of new trends and the most contemporary designs of renowned architects and landscape designers.

The emergence of a greater awareness of the environment, the application of new technical knowledge, and the use of traditional construction methods such as orientation towards the sun, are motivating a growing number of owners to have ecological houses built on a small scale. These small eco-houses are a first step towards a culture of sustainable and responsible construction, based on the use of natural materials which save energy and contain environmental contamination, but also on the creation of small oases that offer a high quality of life. There are numerous examples of how pleasant ecological houses can be from an architectural viewpoint, and the variety of ecological materials now available allows architects to select their own approach. This books presents a selection of small eco-houses: considered architectural anomalies for some time, these houses have laid the foundation for tomorrow's construction. Lots of color photos.

The Queen Fabiola Hall, which belongs to Antwerp's provincial authorities, once again provides the setting for an exceptionally interesting exhibition. L'Anverre, the internationally renowned artists' collective, decided, for its 20th anniversary, to organize something special in the place where it originated. And the sensually stimulating 'Garden of Delights' exhibition is certainly special. This extremely varied group of artists, whose pivotal figure is the highly talented artistic jack-of-all-trades Sem Schanzer, has created a total experience focusing on the elements air, water and earth and more generally on the whole spectrum of nature. What I personally have always appreciated about the I'Anverre collective, and which comes very much to the fore in this exhibition, is the tremendous effort the artists make to create something that will literally leave no one unmoved. They do not see art as a luxury article, but as an experience that every visitor is invited to...
