A Long View explores the award-winning residential design of Bohlin Cywinski Jackson through the lens of fifteen private residences across the United States and Canada. With a curated selection of homes completed between 2016 and 2026, the book tells the story of how BCJ’s work has evolved across a wider range of geographical regions and fresh material expressions, led by an emergent group of design voices within the practice who are carrying forward its ethos of humane, deeply collaborative design. The homes presented here exist in diverse settings: from a rustic retreat in the wilderness of Ontario to the transformation of an existing Pittsburgh home into a container for light; a home embedded in a sagebrush-covered butte in Wyoming to a delicate wood framed guest cabin on a remote island in the Pacific Northwest. Each resonates within its unique circumstances of client, place, and material.

This comprehensive study of Tuscan wine begins with an exploration of the rich past of the region, illustrating how the contributions of ancient civilisations such as the Etruscans continue to shape the landscape of Tuscan viticulture. The role of the region’s famous families, such as the Antinori, Frescobaldi and Ricasoli is also examined. The many autochthonous, traditional and international grape varieties that have contributed to Tuscany’s rise to the apogee of Italian wines, are discussed, including a section highlighting the influence of the region’s most famous grape, Sangiovese. Eby explores the region’s geology and shows how the topography and soils have affected the evolution of appellations and DOC/Gs. Ancient, traditional and modern viticultural and vinification processes are examined, particularly through the lens of the region’s winemakers, many of whom are profiled in depth.
Recognised as one of the most influential voices among China’s new generation of image-makers, Hailun Ma turns her camera toward the gestures, styles, and relations that shape everyday life in Xinjiang. This book brings together recent series focused on family, youth, and daily style in Xinjiang. Moving between the staged and the spontaneous, Ma’s images reveal how people present themselves, and how culture is worn, shared, and reimagined. Ma’s work allows the images to speak before they are explained. Through her vibrant portraits, she has brought global attention to the style subcultures of ethnic minority and multicultural communities in contemporary China—bridging local identity and global fashion culture. Her work has been featured in New York Magazine, i-D, GQ China and Vogue.
Portrait of a City: A Century of American Photography traces a century of American urban life through the camera lens, from Alfred Stieglitz’s early Modernist visions to Bruce Davidson’s immersive Subway photographs of the 1980s. Published to accompany the exhibition at Dulwich Picture Gallery, the book brings together works by some of the most influential photographers of the twentieth century, including Dorothea Lange, Walker Evans, Diane Arbus, Helen Levitt, Saul Leiter, Garry Winogrand and Bruce Davidson. Across themes of immigration, labour, inequality, counterculture and community, the city emerges as both backdrop and protagonist in the story of modern America. Combining iconic images with new scholarship, the publication explores photography’s dual role as artistic expression and social document.
Chi Wing Lo’s work centres on the Zoophyte — forms that are neither nameable species nor allegorical figures, but transient crystallisations of perception hovering between animal and plant, emergence and withdrawal. The publication unfolds across three dimensions: the rediscovery of Xiangwang, a mode of seeing that suspends purposeful search; the transformation of the labyrinth into a mode of existence where “pausing understanding” allows images to breathe before being named; and an inquiry into the scale of life — when life becomes indistinguishable from geography, as slow as mineral, or so proliferative it erases individuality, and taxonomy begins to fail. Working across architecture, design, and painting, Lo uses ink, oil, acrylic, silver leaf, and mixed media on linen and rice paper. His restrained palette — deep black, newborn pink, ancient grass green, shimmering silver white — allows translucent forms to surface from darkness like memory before it solidifies, unfolding what he calls a “biology of personal time.”
Tales in Ink by Rob Walbers and Bart Luijten is a visually and conceptually rich exploration of identity, creativity, and self-expression through the art of tattooing. This loose-leaf publication brings together a series of intimate portraits and conversations with renowned figures from the creative world from Tokyo to Los Angeles, who share personal stories about how their tattoos have become integral to whom they are. Each interview delves into the symbolic meaning behind their ink, revealing how body art can reflect transformation, personality, memory, or artistic philosophy. Beyond documentation, the book’s graphic design introduces a new visual dialogue, merging photography, typography, and illustration into a layered aesthetic that treats each page as a living canvas — a “new tattoo” in itself. By intertwining word, image, and design, Tales in Ink transcends the boundaries of traditional portraiture and celebrates tattoo culture as a profound expression of creative identity and individuality.

Verstrengeld (“entwined”) by Dutch photographer Floor Martens is a poetic visual meditation on the interconnectedness of humans, nature, and time, addressing the ‘zeitgeist’ of a younger generation. Through a deeply personal lens, Martens explores the transformation and decay that define all living matter, tracing parallels between the human body and the natural world. Her photographs — depicting (often naked) bodies, trees, flowers, and skies — capture the delicate balance between fragility and endurance, intimacy and distance, life and loss. Employing analogue techniques alongside written text, sound, and sculptural gestures, Martens creates an immersive, sensorial experience that transcends the photographic image. Each composition suggests a metaphysical dialogue, where the veins of a leaf mirror the lines of a hand, and the cycles of growth and decay reveal beauty in impermanence. Verstrengeld reflects Martens’ commitment to slowing down perception, allowing the ordinary to emerge as extraordinary. This tril-ingual publication is both a visual elegy and a philosophical inquiry — an invitation to contemplate our entanglement with the living world.

Architecture carries memory. It preserves the character of a place while allowing it to evolve for contemporary life. Modern Heritage Homes explores this relationship through a collection of residences that balance history, craftsmanship, and modern living with remarkable sensitivity.
Across these pages, twenty-three homes reveal how designers and architects around the world reinterpret heritage in ways that feel both grounded and current. Some projects draw directly from traditional vernacular forms, while others reinterpret the spirit of modernism through proportion, material, and atmosphere. Together they show that timeless design is shaped by continuity, not imitation. From the quiet elegance of South Dublin Residence to the sculptural clarity of Melody House in the Southern Highlands of Australia, each project demonstrates a strong connection between architecture and landscape. In South Dublin, lime plaster walls, timber beams, and stone floors create a home rooted in tradition, softened for contemporary family life. In Melody House, inspired by Richard Neutra’s modernism, clean horizontal lines and expansive glazing create a dialogue between architecture, music, and nature.
In South Africa, An Arts and Crafts Home celebrates craftsmanship and vernacular character through textured materials, layered interiors, and a close relationship with its setting. In Texas, Arrowhead rises above Lake Travis as a retreat inspired by Mediterranean light and romantic spatial sequences, combining openness with intimacy. The California projects bring another dimension to the collection. Brentwood Park Residence and Cole Valley Classic reflect a refined West Coast sensibility where warmth, restraint, and natural textures create deeply personal spaces. In Nantucket, a coastal residence is reimagined with softened palettes and a renewed connection to the Atlantic horizon, proving how even familiar typologies can feel entirely new.
Further into the book, homes such as A Thatched-Roof Villa in the Netherlands and Four Seasons R01 in Istanbul reveal how regional traditions can be translated through a modern lens. Whether through the enduring silhouette of a thatched roof or the quiet precision of contemporary detailing, these homes demonstrate the richness of local identity. What connects all of these projects is a shared respect for permanence, craftsmanship, and emotional resonance. These are homes designed not only to be seen, but to be lived in, adapted, and passed on. They remind us that heritage is not fixed. It is continually shaped by the people who inhabit it. Modern Heritage Homes is an invitation to explore that ongoing dialogue between past and present, and to discover how thoughtful design can create homes of lasting beauty.
