Radical Space. How Zaha Hadid created 21st-century architecture

Discover the audacious futurism of Zaha Hadid. As the first woman to win both the Pritzker Prize for architecture and the RIBA Royal Gold Medal, Hadid broke the rules and re-defined the game, despite some saying her designs were unbuildable. At the time of her unexpected death in 2016, she was firmly established as the first great architect of the noughties.

Zaha Hadid was a revolutionary architect, who for many years built almost nothing, despite winning critical acclaim. Some even said her audacious, futuristic designs were unbuildable.

During the latter years of her life, Hadid’s daring visions became a reality, bringing a unique new architectural language to cities and structures as varied as the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati, hailed by The New York Times as “the most important new building in America since the Cold War”; the MAXXI Museum in Rome; the Guangzhou Opera House in China; and the London 2012 Olympics Aquatics Centre.

At the time of her unexpected death in 2016, Hadid was firmly established among the elite of world architecture, recognized as the first woman to win both the Pritzker Prize for architecture and the RIBA Royal Gold Medal, but above all as a giver of new forms, the first great architect of the noughties.

From her early sharply angled buildings to later more fluid architecture that made floors, ceilings, walls, and furniture part of an overall design, this essential introduction presents key examples of Hadid’s pioneering practice. She was an artist, as much as an architect, who fought to break the old rules and crafted her own 21st-century universe.

This book presents a true journey into the heart of the Kyoto experience — one which brings you deep into the world of Kyoto's ancient Zen Buddhist culture.

Kyoto's Zen heritage represents one of mankind's greatest achievements — recognized by the large number of temples, shrines and gardens which have been declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Millions of visitors travel to Kyoto yearly in search of their secrets, and here for the first time is a comprehensive overview of each major site.

Over 50 temples and gardens — including all World Heritage Sites — are captured here in sensitive photos by acclaimed Kyoto-based photographer John Einarsen. A detailed introduction to each temple by local expert John Dougill includes information about special opportunities for visitors — such as early morning meditation sessions, temple food offerings and special green tea sets provided to enhance the contemplative experience — along with other "insider" information that no other guide provides.

A preface by Rev Takafumi Kawakami, the deputy head priest of the Shunkoin Temple in Kyoto, serves to place the book within the context of eastern and western Buddhist thought and practice. His widely viewed TED Talk "How mindfulness can help you to live in the present" has been viewed by over 100,000 people.

Издательство: Tuttle

Shunmyo Masuno, Japan's leading garden designer, is at once Japan's most highly acclaimed landscape architect and an 18th-generation Zen Buddhist priest, presiding over daily ceremonies at the Kenkoji Temple in Yokohama. He is celebrated for his unique ability to blend strikingly contemporary elements with the traditional design vernacular. He has worked in ultramodern urban hotels and in some of Japan's most famous classic gardens. In each project, his work as a designer is inseparable from his Buddhist practice. Each becomes a Zen garden, "a special spiritual place where the mind dwells."

This beautiful book, illustrated with more than 400 drawings and color photographs, is the first complete retrospective of Masuno's work to be published in English. It presents 37 major gardens around the world in a wide variety of types and settings: traditional and contemporary, urban and rural, public spaces and private residences, and including temple, office, hotel and campus venues. Masuno achieved fame for his work in Japan, but he is becoming increasingly known internationally, and in 2011 completed his first commission in the United States which is shown here.

Zen Gardens divided into three chapters, covers: "Traditional Zen Gardens," "Contemporary Zen Gardens" and "Zen Gardens outside Japan." Illustrated with photographs and architectural plans or sketches, each garden is described and analyzed by author Mira Locher, herself an architect and a scholar well versed in Japanese culture.

Celebrating the accomplishments of a major, world-class designer, Zen Gardens also serves as something of a master class in Japanese garden design and appreciation: how to perceive a Japanese garden, how to understand one, even how to make one yourself. Like one of Masuno's gardens, the book can be a place for contemplation and mindful repose.

10 принципов городской трансформации. Европейский путь восстановления городов (Том 1)

Эта книга является практическим руководством, в котором на примере крупных европейских городов демонстрируется, как может выглядеть городское развитие, ориентированное на людей. Такой подход предполагает обновление и развитие именно гуманных городов с учетом их истории и созданием масштабного архитектуры человека. Книга придерживается традиции, начатой ​​Яном Гейлом, которая рассматривает городское пространство как среду для жизни и общения людей. Отправной точкой для этой книги является европейская традиция плотного классического города. Особое внимание уделяется физическим и пространственным параметрам, моделям развития застройки и типам зданий, а также руководящим принципам, регулирующим доступность и взаимосвязи с дорогами общего пользования. Все это является основой безопасной городской жизни. Книга разделена на десять тематических разделов, в каждом из которых приведены определения и общее описание основных проблем вместе с предложениями по их решению.

Исторический очерк городского развития и практически организованная тематическая структура, лежащая в основе обсуждаемых концепций, позволяют приведенным примерам значительно расширить понимание этой темы.

10 принципов современной планировки. Европейский путь восстановления городов (Том 2)

Что такое квартальные города? Это плотные органические города с взаимосвязанными строительными структурами и доступными городскими пространствами. Города, предлагающие разнообразие, яркость и высокие архитектурные качества, побуждают исследовать их пешком или на велосипеде. Они создают чувство открытости, позволяют жителям чувствовать себя в безопасности, предлагают места для общения и способствуют культурному единству. Города, уважающие традиции и культурное наследие. В этой книге архитектор Карстен Полссон рассматривает городские кварталы как структуру, которая лучше всего подходит для содействия развитию устойчивой городской жизни. Он исследует появление определенных качеств благодаря использованию городских кварталов в качестве основных элементов застройки, беря примеры из выбранных европейских городов, а также старых и новых городских районов в столице Дании Копенгагене. Он определяет ключевые элементы квартального города и исследует его широкий потенциал. Наконец, Полссон предлагает десять принципов современного планирования, которые являются основой подхода к трансформации старых городских районов и новых.

В контексте государственных и частных проектов конкурсы по планированию выступают инструментом для выбора и оптимизации проектных решений, а также для принятия решений по привлечению наиболее важных исполнителей проекта. Без конкурсного диалога, прозрачности, которую он обеспечивает в процессе определения победителей, и его силы как интегрирующей основы для участия соответствующих заинтересованных сторон проекта, инновации и строительная отрасль не достигли бы того уровня и признания, которые они имеют повсеместно в последние десятилетия. Таким образом, градостроительные конкурсы являются незаменимым элементом обеспечения высокого качества в архитектуре, градостроительстве, планировании общественных пространств, инженерии и искусстве.

Тем не менее этот инструмент планирования и присуждения неоднократно подвергался критике и (справедливо) ставился под сомнение. Соответственно важно легко, свободно, при этом достаточно четко и точно применять методы и возможности этого инструмента, которые были разработаны на протяжении более 150 лет, чтобы продолжать использовать потенциал конкурсов. Несмотря на то, что конкурсы широко освещаются, обсуждаются и зарабатывают на них, даже среди экспертов мало что известно об организационных и формальных рамках подготовки и проведения процедур – о конкурсном менеджменте.

Авторы книги являются берлинскими архитекторами, соучредителями и соответственно партнерами бюро [phase eins]. Основаное в 1998 году, бюро является одним из ведущих в Германии и мире по вопросам проектного консалтинга и управления конкурсами в области архитектуры и градостроительства. За последние 25 лет бюро провело более 200 конкурсных процедур награждения в 22 странах мира. Основываясь на этом опыте, книга содержит широкий спектр практической и теоретической информации по организации планировочных конкурсов. Кроме того, в ней представлены 60 иллюстрированных практических примеров успешно проведенных конкурсных процедур для 12 различных типологий зданий и сооружений. Среди них конкурсы на проектирование Мюнхенского концертного зала, Канадского парламента, административного комплекса для Европейской комиссии в Брюсселе, квартала Place Lalla Yeddouna в Фесе, Музея Революции Достоинства на Майдане в Киеве, Вьетнамо-германского университета в Сайгоне, Бейрутского музея искусств и центрального здания завода BMW в Лейпциге.

Этот опыт дополняется комментариями более 50 известных экспертов, сформулировавших свой опыт как члены жюри, участники и/или лауреаты премии в виде кратких практических рекомендаций.
Надеясь внести свой вклад в качественные и справедливые процедуры, книга предназначена, в частности, для (потенциальных) организаторов конкурсов, а также для всех других, кто участвует в конкурсных процедурах – участников, членов жюри, представителей специализированной печати, студентов и представителей органов власти.

As hand-drawing returns to design courses around the world, this welcome publication celebrates the best aspects of traditional techniques while incorporating them into today’s digital design methods.

This new and expanded edition includes a new chapter on the relationship between landscape design and architecture, along with a selection of updated artwork.

Contents List:

1. Absorbing the Landscape • 2. Drawing on Site • 3. Drawing Ideas • 4. Plan, Elevation and Section Drawing • 5. Isometric Drawings • 6. Perspectives • 7. Money Drawings • 8. Construction Detail Drawings • 9. Completed Work: Case Studies

Edited by Barnaba Fornasetti, Introduction by Andrea Branzi, Text by Mariuccia Casadio
ID: 7644
Издательство: Rizzoli

This elaborate volume, authored by the designer’s son, is a splendid celebration of one of the world’s most inventive design minds. Combining whimsy and elegance, Piero Fornasetti (1913 –1988) transformed everyday objects like cups, scarves, and screens into works of art featuring his idiosyncratic leitmotifs, such as the hand, the female face, and luminescent fish. Additionally, he created a wide range of works, including idealized architectural fantasy drawings, book designs, and provocative nudes, as well as the decor for the luxury liner Andrea Doria. Perhaps most famous for dazzling pieces of trompe l’oeil furniture, Fornasetti was rediscovered in the 1980s and has remained much sought-after by collectors worldwide. Featuring 2,800 illustrations, many never before published, the monograph is designed to be an artist’s book that reflects as faithfully as possible Fornasetti’s own approach to design. Fornasetti’s work is organized by type and includes paintings, sculptures and etchings, furniture, graphics, textiles, glass, screens, trays, and ceramics, as well as smaller categories. With unique and exhaustive access to the archives, this epic undertaking covers detailed technical, biographical, and bibliographical information, including a list of exhibitions and a register of the complete works. A must-have for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

For fans, collectors and dealers Rizzoli's upcoming book Fornasetti: The Complete Universe is cause for massive celebration. Nearly 700 pages long, with 3,000 images and illustrations, it is a composite catalogue raisonne and coffee table book extraordinaire. For those ever frustrated with the paucity of information on Fornasetti, the book feels like a miracle.

I like to equate Fornasetti with Andy Warhol. Both had long, prolific careers that constantly replenished their output with material that was simultaneously fresh but iconic. Both were talented illustrators and masters of appropriation. Fornasetti is remarkable in the realms of both art and design in his enthusiastic embrace of figuration, antiquity and the ornate defying not only his generations aesthetic preferences but many trends inherent in Modernism.

Unlike Warhol, whose works are mostly priced in the million-dollar range, objects by Fornasetti remain accessible to a large segment of the population. Of course, there are Fornasetti pieces (notably 1950’s furniture emblazoned with his most iconic motifs) with price tags that approach six figures. However, there is also a significant amount of material available on the secondary market today that was made by the Fornasetti atelier during his lifetime. (Full disclosure: I am a dealer who specializes in vintage Fornasetti) Such pieces, including everything from silk scarves, lamps, umbrella stands, ashtrays, mirrors and decorated porcelain can be found in the several hundred to several thousand dollar range. Fornasetti: The Complete Universe is such an astounding book as for the first time there is an attempt to document and date everything (?!) that Piero created during his lifetime. Fornasetti has numerous motifs or subjects that he applied to an array of consumer goods that are uniquely his own notably malachite, mythology, playing cards, the personification of the sun and moon, musical instruments and “Themes & Variations” (which puts a woman’s face in over 300 surrealist scenarios).

The book is composed of two halves; one dedicated to his artistic ambitions and evolution, the second how his talents were applied to creating a host of elaborate and distinctive consumer products. Fornasetti’s son, Barnaba is largely responsible for both maintaining his father’s archives, the creation of this book and the enduring popularity of Fornasetti. Since his father’s death in 1988, Barnaba has actively reissued designs and licensed certain iconic images. Some purists may find it problematic that such post-humous work is included here. After all such pieces were not created nor overseen by the creator and will likely never appreciate in value.

About the Authors:

Barnaba Fornasetti is a designer and oversees his father’s legacy. Andrea Branzi is a leading architect and designer in Milan and has published a number of books on design, including The Hot House: Italian New Wave Design. Mariuccia Casadio is the art consultant for Italian Vogue and the author of Dolce & Gabbana: Fashion Album, among other books.

ID: 12507
Издательство: Rizzoli

This book is a survey of 12 breathtakingly beautiful gardens by award-winning photographer Andre Baranowski, whose eye for beauty will embolden readers the world over to embrace their inner instincts and create their own garden wild.

The new movement in contemporary gardening is about going back to the wilderness, creatively landscaping with native plants to enrich their environments and seamlessly merge with their natural surroundings. Politely rejecting traditional manicured, hedged and pruned gardening aesthetics to invite an alternative kind of beauty: wildly bursting with indigenous plants, old-growth trees, vibrant patches of wildflowers and perennials, succulents, un-pruned bushes and ornamental grasses. New York City's Highline is a famous example and this landscaping approach is becoming increasingly popular for private homeowners. 

This book surveys twelve such breathtaking gardens captured by award-winning photographer Andre Baranowski. 
The featured gardens range from small private residencies to large properties, by renowned landscapers such as Oehme van Sweden, Fernando Caruncho, Jorge Sanchez, and Piet Oudolf. The texts detail each project's approach and the hurdles presented by its landscape, providing the reader with an array of instructional ideas from an insider's mindset. Guaranteed to be a boundless source of inspiration and treasured by lovers of gardens worldwide.

About the Authors:

Andre Baranowski is an award-winning editorial and advertising photographer. His work has appeared on the covers of the most prominent gardening and lifestyle publications, including Better Homes & Gardens and Departure. Baranowski frequently photographs for the National Landscape Foundation and the Garden Conservancy, and his work was part of "The New American Garden" exhibit at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C.

Ms. Dorothy Kalins serves as editor and advisor at How2Media Inc. She was the founding editor-in-chief of Metropolitan Home and Saveur, the executive and contributing editor of Newsweek, and was responsible for the re-launch of Garden Design. She was the first woman to be named Adweek's Editor of the Year and in 1999 and awarded the prestigious Matrix Award.
