CA 1 continues The Images Publishing Group's commitment to an annual showcase of contemporary architecture. Previously published as the International Architecture Yearbook, this annual series presents a snapshot of current architectural trends. The projects collected in this book are outstanding examples of ingenuity, innovation, cultural sensitivity and ecological preservation. Ranging from the playful to the sombre, from high-tech to historic, from cultural to commercial and all in between, they are among the finest contemporary examples of architecture's unfailing ability to improvise, surprise and delight. More than 50 architectural practices are featured. Many are multi-award-winning household names and some are rising stars in world architecture. Together they present a fascinating view of contemporary architecture.

Three-times winner of the Eric Hosking Award for BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year, Vincent Munier takes us on a tour of this silent, frozen world. From the Far East to the Wild West, via the craggy peaks of the European Alps, we encounter swans, cranes, eagles, chamois, foxes, and many other animals in the hush of their stunning, snowbound habitats. Shadows, shapes, contours, and the occasional flash of color are all that reveal the creatures huddled into the snow and braced against the wind, quite in their element in the elements.

Biba: The Biba Experience

Biba remains one of the most evocative names in British design history it pioneered a new style, mixing the contemporary with Art Nouveau, Art Deco and the golden age of Hollywood, dressing itself in the richly luxuriant colours of a bygone time. This book showcases Biba clothing and much of the Biba memorabilia, merchandising and interior design, presenting an entire history of the company. Biba: The Biba Experience centres on commissioned photographs of one of the largest collections of Biba in the world, put together by Pari, who has accumulated around 500 pieces of Biba fashion items and ephemera covering the entire history of the company. Everything from dresses and trouser suits through original sketches and patterns to playing cards and soap powder is represented. Biba brought the cutting edge of couture to the masses. Brigitte Bardot, Yoko Ono and Princess Anne shopped there, whilst Sonny and Cher, Mick and Marianne, and David and Angie were regular visitors, but the store was never the exclusive preserve of the rich and famous: prices were kept deliberately low, and anyone who could tolerate the disdainful inefficiency of the staff was encouraged to soak up the glamour of a unique shopping experience. This lavishly illustrated and beautifully produced book is intended for those interested in the fashion and graphic design of the '60s and '70s, from a creative and historical standpoint, plus the huge number of people who remember Biba from the period with such affection.
