Why not take advantage of some of the great titles added to the TRADA Bookshop which would make ideal Christmas presents for professionals, all at a reduced rate for TRADA members, lower than you will find anywhere else. Among the books added to the bookshop each month by other publishers, we have a great range of ‘coffee table' reads, full of lavish photographs and great case studies. Links International has produced some great books including the latest added this month: ‘Sustainable homes'. This publication, illustrated with full colour photographs throughout, contains explanatory texts, floor plans and construction details contributed by the architects themselves, making it a highly invaluable and up to date resource on the current state of sustainable design. ‘Superb cabins' is a great book. This publication relates first-rate modern design technology and advances to the age-old concept of rural timber cabins. Each project is expertly explained and illustrated with full-colour photographs, ground plans and sketches, as well as in-depth technical commentary by the award-winning architects responsible. ‘Staircases: selection and details' is illustrated with hundreds of full-colour photographs and comprises a complete study of stairs, from their technical details to the realisation of projects. Finally, ‘Touch wood: the rediscovery of a building material' is a superb publication from Braun. It presents more than 60 outstanding examples of the latest architectural designs from all over the world for which wood has been used extensively. Richly illustrated, this title shows the innovative ways timber is currently being handled and how its use has been expanded by new technologies and experiments with traditional building methods.
