La villa Il Gioiello si trova sulla collina di Arcetri vicino a Firenze: qui Galileo ha passato gli ultimi anni della sua vita, agli arresti domiciliari. L'architettura riflette lo stile del sedicesimo secolo: la struttura è di proporzioni generali misurate ed armoniche. La villa, restaurata di recente, pur essendo per Galileo una prigione, fu anche per lui un osservatorio, un luogo di studio e di riposo, nelle ore che passava ad aggiustare la vigna che cresceva fuori del cortile.

Building on urbanistic and social aspects, Vienna has not only constructed new housing projects with distinctive qualities throughout the city but also founded and revitalized entire quarters. With their historical roots in 'Red Vienna,' these concepts signal dynamic opportunities to enhance the quality of life in a contemporary metropolis by creating model living environments. 'The Vienna Model: Housing for the Twenty-First-Century City' shines the spotlight on sixty prototypical projects from the last hundred years, with a special focus on the public art that has complemented the city's housing since the First Republic. Around 300 illustrations and accompanying texts provide a comprehensive overview of the 'Vienna Model'.

Peter Aldington is one of the most influential designers of post-war houses in Britain and this book is a collection of all the houses that he 'created', either individually or with his two partners John Craig and Paul Collinge. There were many more unbuilt, and a selection of these are also included as well as a number of alterations and additions.
