Italian architect and designer Gio Ponti (Джио Понти) (1891–1979) was the creator of a multifaceted oeuvre. Starting off with ceramics and majolika works at the First International Exhibition of Decorative Arts in Monza, he moved on to furniture and interior design and built structures of all kinds, from small residential dwellings to high rise buildings, schools, and office blocks. One of his great interests was the theme of the home, for which he continually sought to find new solutions. Ponti’s colorful, carefree, elegant spaces were designed to inspire optimism in their occupants. The founder and nearly lifelong editor of domus magazine never stopped developing and reinventing his style. This book provides an introduction to Ponti’s creative process and gives an overview of the various phases of his career.

Since the earliest people lived as nomads, their buildings were portable, constructed in a way that allowed them to be rebuilt as they moved to new locations for better living conditions as the seasons changed.

This book discusses the forerunners, present context, and technology of portable architecture. It documents numerous international examples, organized by areas of application, and offers a broad array of suggestions for practical design.

In the Arts and Culture section, Shigeru Ban’s Nomadic Museum, made of shipping containers in the USA and Japan is examined, as is Mark Fisher’s event architecture for concert tours by the Rolling Stones and U2. Suggestions for flexible living include Richard Horden’s micro compact home and the Container Home Kit from LOT/EK.

The design of mobile structures used in extreme situations, such as the Antarctic or in the aftermath of natural catastrophes, is explored. Exhibition and entertainment facilities are other typical areas of application for light, mobile structures.

Demountable, temporary structures allow for exciting architectural experimentation which can then be prototyped for regular use.

Итоговый результат работы архитектора не всегда зависит только от его таланта. Слишком много факторов должно совпасть, чтобы реализация была хотя бы вполовину так хороша, как проект. Однако удивительные интерьеры Бориса Уборевича-Боровского - вовсе не результат совпадения. Его стиль, выработанный за последние два десятилетия, вполне узнаваем: это чистейший, отточенный минимализм. Именно поэтому к интерьерам, созданным Уборевичем, стоит подходить с мерками не дизайна, а архитектуры внутреннего пространства: когда в доме все на своем месте, нет нужды прятать ошибки за декорациями. Многие более или менее успешно пытаются повторить его работы или сделать дизайн "под Уборевича". Казалось бы, что тут сложного - белые стены, деревянные полы? Но пока никому не удалось раскрыть секрет его успеха. Возможно, читатель этой книги сумеет приблизиться к разгадке. Нужно всего лишь, пройдя по следам Бориса Уборевича-Боровского, найти нужное соотношение между щедростью и самоограничением, роскошью и аскетизмом, тяжелейшим трудом проектировщика и свободным полетом фантазии художника. Внимательный - увидит.
