Архітектура

Landscape architects are entering a new era, one where the term sustainability has broadened in scope to refer to social and cultural as well as environmental concerns. This 'liveability' factor is now core among the challenges facing today's architects and planners, especially as some countries undergo rapid urbanization. Open Space presents some of the most innovative urban landscape designs of recent years with accompanying texts, photos and plans.

Inventive new ways of building using nature’s oldest and most adaptive material.

Humans have been building homes from wood for thousands of years, and yet, in a contemporary world of option and innovation, the most primitive resource could in fact be the most pertinent.

Stretching back to historic Japanese houses, becoming synonymous with resort accommodation, and intertwining itself in the modern trend of hygge, its tactility and warmth have influenced countless architectural design movements. Timber is fast emerging as a viable material of choice, a safe, sturdy, and sustainable alternative to concrete. Architects are rediscovering wood’s universal appeal, thanks to recent technological advances.

This book explores the innovative and inspiring ways architects are using this universal building material. Spanning grand Alpine escapes to tropical getaways, plywood penthouses to mass timber high-rises, Out of the Woods documents their progressive and inspiring creations from the foundations up.

Outdoor is in. The line between inside and outside has become blurred: more and more, the garden is considered an extension piece of the living room, a true multifunctional outside room with its own style and atmosphere, where one can lounge, relax, eat and enjoy oneself the whole year through. The word ‘garden’ implies greenery.

Whether we talk about intimate, hidden corners, snug terraces or skilfully decorated conservatories, colourful flower accents and fanciful details of natural materials will determine the atmosphere and character of the green living room. For every occasion or personality, florist Katrien Vandierendonck has designed long lasting and stylish flower arrangements: dreamy romantic, colourful contemporary or minimalist zen. They let us enjoy to the full the possibilities of the outdoors.

Outdoor Flower Designs is an inspiring book brimming with fun and surprising ideas to jazz your garden room. 

The first book from celebrated garden designer, popular Instagrammer and advocate of English cottage style, Sean A Pritchard, showing how to plan your garden so you can display flowers and foliage in your home through the year.
'I devoured this sumptuously British step-by-gorgeous-step guide to when to seed, plant and pluck in a single sitting.' - Richard E. Grant

'Outside In: A Year of Growing & Displaying is that rare thing - the most ridiculously beautiful coffee-table book that is also a mine of useful information when it comes to what to grow when for year-round cut flowers. His interiors aren't too shabby, either.' - India Knight

'Outside In is not only stuffed full of practical advice and tips on nurturing a garden and displaying plants and flowers in the home, it is also a thing of romantic beauty. Sean's overflowing, colourful arrangements have put a smile on my face countless times: he has a natural ability to put together flowers, books, fabrics and assorted treasures in a way that feels effortless, charming and deeply personal.' - Luke Edward Hall

'Armed with flower-whisperer Sean A. Prichard's new book, mom can bedeck her home with backyard-blooms year-round-or just luxuriate in the pretty pictures while sipping a nice cuppa.' - Wall Street Journal

'Inventive, considered, and thoughtful design.' - House & Garden

In his debut book, garden designer Sean A Pritchard shows you how to plan a garden so that every month of the year there's something to bring indoors and display in an engaging way. From the cheery joy of early spring daffodils to the velvety richness of late-summer dahlias, the deep glow of golden autumn leaves to the optimism of late-winter catkins, Sean explains how to grow, harvest, and arrange an abundance of nature's treasure - no matter the size of your plot or your level of horticultural experience.

With this introduction to the work of Andrea Palladio (1508-1580), TASCHEN's Basic Architecture series shines its spotlight on one of the most influential figures in the history of Western architecture. 

Palladio's Villa Rotonda in Vicenza became the most famous building of its kind; it influenced many later designs and remains an important source of inspiration for today s architects. 

The Palladian style, distinguished by the typical Serlian windows, pillared façades resembling Roman temples, symmetrical floor plans, and elevations, was imported to other European countries and became widely known; in Great Britain, it was one the important roots of 17th and 18th-century architecture.

In the 19th century, American architecture heavily referred to the style, as seen in, for example, Thomas Jefferson's Monticello home.

About the series:

Each book in TASCHEN’s Basic Architecture series features:

- an introduction to the life and work of the architect 
- the major works in chronological order
- information about the clients, architectural preconditions as well as construction problems and resolutions
- a list of all the selected works and a map indicating the locations of the best and most famous buildings
- approximately 120 illustrations (photographs, sketches, drafts, and plans)

This broad survey of modernism—the most scintillating creative era in Paris—spans all domains: architecture, art, design, entertainment, fashion, film, literature, photography.

The lives and works of artists in every creative discipline transformed Paris into a crucible of modernity in the first half of the twentieth century. Profiles of eighty-eight influential artists, designers, photographers, architects, writers, and personalities—including Gabrielle Chanel, Eileen Gray, Jean Prouvé, Pablo Picasso, Tamara de Lempicka, Sonia and Robert Delaunay, Brassai, Man Ray, Robert Mallet-Stevens, Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier, Adolf Loos, Walter Benjamin, Josephine Baker, Jean Renoir, Gertrude Stein, and more—highlight the boundless creative energy and optimism that permeated the City of Light at this key historical juncture. Richly illustrated alphabetical entries with cross-references to related topics are complemented by six thematic essays on cinema, fashion, graphic design, habitation, painting, and urban planning. A portfolio of original contemporary photographs—from the historic center to the suburbs of Paris—reveals traces of modernism in dozens of buildings and their interiors that are rarely open to the public. This catalog—published to accompany an exhibition at the Power Station of Art in Shanghai in summer 2023—sketches a panorama of human invention across the vast creative landscape of Paris from 1914 to 1945.

There’s the food, the culture, the architecture, the art — Notre Dame and Montmartre and the Louvre — and then there’s the side of Paris you’ve never seen, until now.

Paris: the city of love, the city of light — the city everyone thinks they know from movies and books. But there’s more to this vigorous new-old metropolis than Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower. Along its winding streets and hidden in picturesque views along the Seine, there’s so much more to do and discover, to taste and see, than what you imagine. 

The Monocle team is your guide as you explore the nouvelle cuisine in the city’s up and coming restaurants that are revitalizing classic dining.

And then bundle up in designer goods from the best unknown boutiques as you stroll through history and romance. Paris is a wonderland. This is your ticket.

Authors:

Monocle reports from around the globe in print, on radio, and online. As its editors and correspondents dart from city to city, they get to know the best places to rest their heads, stretch their limbs, and kick back with a contact in a hard-to-find cocktail bar.

Cities are fun. Let’s explore. 

Від затишних будиночків і котеджів до приморських халуп — відкрийте для себе різноманітність надихаючої паркової архітектури, щоб втілити мрії про життя поза мережею.

Від затишних будиночків і котеджів до приморських халуп — усередині або з прямим краєвидом на приголомшливі природні ландшафти національних парків, лісів і узбережжя Північної Америки — ми розглядаємо різноманітні надихаючі «паркові архітектури», щоб зацікавити мрії про життя поза мережею.

Про автора:

Parks Project — компанія роздрібної торгівлі, яка зробила революцію у світі охорони природи, переосмисливши його під свіжою, молодіжною лінзою. Їхній одяг і супутні товари користуються величезним успіхом серед молоді, а місія компанії полягає в тому, щоб допомогти зберегти природні території в США та за кордоном через пожертви, ініціативи та освіту.

We are in the midst of a worldwide golden age of park creation, and featured here are powerfully telling examples at the forefront of this renaissance.

Parks are essential to our well-being; this has never been clearer than it is today, and a recent surge of park development offers us much to celebrate. Parks of the 21st Century presents 52 parks in the U.S., Mexico, Canada, Europe, and China that have turned despoiled and polluted land (including former factories, railroads, and industrial waterfronts) into beneficial landscapes.

Landscape architects have been referred to as “the first environmentalists,” and Parks of the 21st Century shows how parks are being designed as proactive, dynamic green spaces. The High Line in New York is an early example of how an obsolete railroad could be transformed. Opened in 2009, it now attracts nearly 8 million visitors a year. In addition to providing public open space, these renewed landscapes offer economic revitalization and large-scale environmental improvement. Among the parks featured in this book are designs by well-known professionals such as James Corner Field Operations, Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, Kongjian Yu/Turenscape, and Catherine Mosbach.
