As Peter Buchanan has shown in the first three volumes of Renzo Piano’s complete works, he follows no fashions of form or theory, nor is he limited to a personal idiom. Instead he concerns himself with the specifics and potential of a particular situation and moment, meeting the challenges of the programme, pushing the limits of technology, but always responding sensitively to the topography or urban fabric of the building’s site. This fourth volume on Renzo Piano provides an illuminating study of the architect’s working method, in particular his regard for context, followed by a presentation of his projects from 1989 to 2000. These range from urban works such as the Potsdamer Platz masterplan in Berlin, a science museum in Amsterdam and high-rise towers in Rotterdam and Sydney, to the acclaimed Beyeler Foundation and the Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Centre in New Caledonia, which exemplifies the architect’s sensitivity to site and local tradition, combining traditional materials and techniques with those from the cutting edge of technology.

"The array of buildings by Renzo Piano is staggering in scope and comprehensive in the diversity of scale, material, and form. He is truly an architect whose sensibilities represent the widest range of this and earlier centuries." Such was the description of Renzo Piano given by the Pritzker Prize jury citation as they bestowed the prestigious award on him in 1998.

Whereas some architects have a signature style, what sets Piano apart is that he seeks simply to apply a coherent set of ideas to new projects in extraordinarily different ways. "One of the great beauties of architecture is that each time, it is like life starting all over again," Piano says. "Like a movie director doing a love story, a Western, or a murder mystery, a new world confronts an architect with each project." This explains why it takes more than a superficial glance to recognize Piano’s fingerprints on such varied projects as the Pompidou Center in Paris (1971-77), the Kansai airport in Osaka, Japan (1990-94), and the Tjibaou Cultural Center in Nouméa, New Caledonia (1993-1998).

This stunning monograph, illustrated by photographs, sketches, and plans, covers Piano’s career to date. Also included are sneak peeks at Piano’s current projects, including the New York Times Tower, a 52-story skyscraper to be built in Times Square, and the 80-story London Bridge Tower, which is set to be Europe’s tallest building.

Микеланджело: Полное собрание произведений

Ein spektakulärer Überblick über die schönsten Museumsbauten des Pritzker-Preisträgers.

Pritzker-Preisträger Renzo Piano gilt als der führende Architekt für Museumsbauten, herausragende Kunstinstutionen weltweit haben ihm ihre Sammlungen anvertraut. 18 seiner Museumsentwürfe aus den letzten 35 Jahren stellt der großformatige Band anhand von atmosphärisch dichten Fotos und präzisen Architekturzeichnungen und Grundrissen vor.

Der Bogen spannt sich vom damals revolutionären Centre Pompidou (1977), bis hin zu noch nicht fertig gestellten Projekten, etwa dem Los Angeles County Museum of Art, dem Art Institute of Chicago (Eröffnung 2009) oder dem geplanten Museum für zeitgenössische Kunst in Sarajevo. Meilensteine der Museumsarchitektur werden ausführlich präsentiert: die Menil Collection in Houston, die Fondation Beyeler in Riehen bei Basel, das Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern, das Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas und die Erweiterung der Pierpoint Morgan Library in New York. Eine Einführung von Victoria Newhouse diskutiert zentrale Elemente von Pianos Ästhetik – natürliches Licht, Transparenz und die Piazza als öffentlicher Treffpunkt.

 

In this small, but sharply-pointed book, renowned theorist Sanford Kwinter addresses the sometimes subtle, sometimes brutal transformations that characterized the modernization processes set into motion at the turn of the millennium.

From the strange appearance of the 'Trojan Horse' that was the Centre Pompidou which served as the harbinger and template of the new idea of "Europe", through the dot.com bubble of the late 1990s, to the destruction of the World Trade Center Towers in New York, a new world came into being that design thinking has yet to fully take into account.

The City is here seen not only as the last frontier of human history currently under threat of total eclipse, it is the indomitable form of collective experience upon which one can count as assuredly as one can on death and taxes.

Requiem, to quote from Thomas Daniell's introduction, is first and foremost redemptive: "Kwinter's most negative assessments of the city are driven by a deep commitment to its sublime potentials--a desire to sacralize the most profane and fecund of human creations"

Research building is a very comprehensive architectural structure, and it must meet requirements on aspects of functional area, technical equipment, economic cost and law. They represent innovative means of production - that is why the design of research building is always changing.

According to the changes in the field of scientific research, the challenges faced by research architecture are how to make the high-tech equipments merged into the environment with better communication and how to integrate the institution itself into the atmosphere of communication and interaction through design. The former strictly functional organization is bound to be replaced by the beneficial communication cycle.

This book presents us that technical improvements are not necessarily the key to the design of great research buildings. The best research buildings position the researchers as the most creative agents in the process of scientific experiments. The building is not a machine which the scientists manipulate but a tooth at the macroscopic level. Meanwhile it is also a cultural construction with collaborative cohesion and creating imaginative.

This title succeeds in providing a platform for the communication between clients, designers and the supply sources of their material. It also includes 50 outstanding home designs complete with floor plans. In total it reflects the expanding aspiration and demand in China for designers to offer higher quality living environments.

At the end of the 20th century, the longevity of modern man and the lack of time of the younger population to take care of elderly people led to a profound analysis of the new environments and the search for a suitable habitat for the elderly. The new architectures and building technologies offer a wide range of specific solutions that help to improve the living conditions of the elderly. This book presents several models of architecture for the elderly, with details of schemes for geriatric homes, reception centres and special residential projects by architects from different countries as Toyo Ito, Mahler, Gunster & Füchs, MVRDU, Wiel Arets, Vicens and Ramos, Architecture Studio.

Citizens in retirement age are becoming an ever greater but also more active part of society.

Architects and designers have discovered that this requires a new way of thinking and detected nursing homes and senior citizens’ residences as a new area of professional interest. They apply creative concepts and intricate designs to increase the comfort and quality of life for the elderly.

The projects presented in this volume are outstanding examples of architectural and interior design solutions that meet the complex and special needs of senior citizens. It presents newly constructed and converted buildings that contradict the common perception of "old folks' homes". They show that it is possible to reconcile nursing and medical requirements with an attractive design, skillfully combining functionality and aesthetics.

The "home away from home" must be flexible and agile, prepared to accommodate any number of uses at any given time. Here, an international sampling of resort houses shows the very best solutions in the field: programs which are at once conducive to the feeling of "getting away from it all", while discretely covering the comforts and necessities (a second office, for example) that inevitably arise. A well-rounded presentation has been guaranteed by the inclusion of construction details, listings of materials and finishes (both inside and out), floor plans and sketches. All documentation has been provided by the designing studios, who thereby contribute their own proven expertise in this specialized field of architecture.

Feast your eyes. The art of hospitality design

Restaurants and bars offer architects and interior designers the opportunity to design for both style and entertainment. Aesthetics and function must come together to create ambiance and conviviality in a way that not only makes a bold first impression, but also secures a loyal following of regular customers. The Restaurant & Bar Design Awards — the world’s only awards dedicated to hospitality design — recognize the importance of this particular field, singling out the world’s most exceptional settings for eating and drinking. Each year, entries are submitted from all sectors, including hotels, offices, transport, industry, fine dining, education, sports and leisure, healthcare, government, aviation, cruise, and retail. A panel of top design, lifestyle, and hospitality professionals judges the entries.

Divided into five chapters — Americas, Asia, Australia, Europe, and Middle East -- the book features 100 highlights from the establishments put forward to the panel. Texts include chapter introductions by experts and judges such as Tony Chambers (editor-in-chief of Wallpaper*) and designer Karim Rashid, and a preface by the author and founder of the awards, Marco Rebora.

Entries include:
- Numerous photographs
- A fact sheet of location, architect/designer, cost, and size of build for each project
- A text describing the original briefing, the challenges involved, and their solutions
- Information about the architect and designer
