New urban elements by Jacobo Krauel

Benches, railings, parterres, street lamps, posts, footpaths and bridges, fountains and spatial organizers—New Urban Elements takes an up-close look at all of the elements that go into the design of urban space. Every element shown in the dazzling color photographs was custom-designed for a specific project, and all are explained from the drawing board up, from the original sketches and lists of materials to finished product in its setting. The most thorough and complete volume of its kind, New Urban Elements is a resource that every urban design professional must have.

Jacobo Krauel, renowned architecture critic, is the founder of the Malegro Award in Architecture. He is the author of Sustainable Architecture: Low-Tech Houses, as well as more than a dozen other architecture and design titles. He lives in Barcelona.
