Архітектура

This new title in the Modern Masters series is dedicated to the distinguished American architect and includes an introductory essay by Kenneth Frampton, one of the most prestigious names in the field of architecture history. This complete monograph presents 89 of Meier’s buildings, documenting the principal stages of Meier’s career in chronological order, from his early private homes and residential buildings—such as the two large complexes of Twin Parks, Bronx, New York and the Bronx Development Center—to recent major projects in the United States and in several European countries, including Italy. Among the well-known works in this volume are the Getty Center in Los Angeles, the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art and the church of Dives in Misericordia, Rome. In the early 1970s, Meier was one of the “New York Five,” an informal group of East Coast architects who shared a preference for new and original contributions to the modern tradition and shaped an alternative to the “gray” architecture that dominated highrise East Coast buildings at the time.

From the second half of the sixties the rise and consolidation, and more in general the creative career, of Richard Meier has been characterised by slow but steady reflection on modernity, its matrix and the possibility that it can be considered, even today, as a means of regeneration.
A positive obsession, marked by admirable persistence within an overall picture that is very heterogeneous and often confused.
This book attempts to clarify matters regarding the works and projects created over the last decade, mature works that also mark the definitive consecration of Meier as one of the masters of contemporary North American architecture and of the international scene in general.
These reflections on a modernism that is both solar and the conceptual child of abstract culture are superimposed on thoughts about contemporary cities and landscapes and easily lead us to many recent works such as the large complex of the Getty Center in Los Angeles or the museums for the Ara Pacis in Rome and contemporary art museum in Barcelona.
A project development that above all favours great public works creating the opportunity to give a definition to what imagining a collective space means and what a monument is in contemporary terms.
The recently church for the Jubilee in Rome, from this point of view, shows how it is still possible to unite considerations on the modernity of an architectural work with its deep relationship with the simplicity and emotion of form, light and material.

Born and raised in Vienna, Richard Neutra (1872-1970) came to America early in his career, settling in California. His influence on post-war architecture is undisputed, the sunny climate and rich landscape being particularly suited to his cool, sleek modern style. Neutra had a keen appreciation for the relationship between people and nature; his trademark plate glass walls and ceilings which turn into deep overhangs have the effect of connecting the indoors with the outdoors. Neutra's ability to incorporate technology, aesthetics, science, and nature into his designs him recognition as one of Modernist architecture`s greatest talents.

Перший том про інтер'єри та дизайн одного з найвпливовіших дизайнерів сучасності, що надає унікальний погляд на творче життя Ріка Оуенса та його дружини Мішель Ламі.

Ця книга задумана як глибокий погляд на творче, особисте та часто таємне життя Ріка Оуенса та його дружини, музи та соратниці Мішель Ламі. Відомий своїм стилем, який сам називає «гранж зустрічає гламур», Оуенс представив свою першу колекцію меблів у Парижі у 2007 році. Її швидко сприйняли як пряме продовження його підривної естетики з її сміливим поєднанням матеріалів, текстур та функціональності, доводячи, що його власний художній всесвіт простягається далеко за межі моди, до способу життя, який могли б прийняти його послідовники.

Rick Owens: Interiors розповідає про місце, де Оуенс почав займатися дизайном меблів як хобі, його культовий будинок і штаб-квартиру в Пале Бурбон, простір, де знаходяться меблі, які Оуенс розробляє з 2006 року. У ньому представлені стільці з рогів оленя та столи зі скам'янілої кори, а також робочі зони та спальні, що пропонують унікальний погляд на спосіб життя та роботу з дизайну інтер'єрів художника, який постійно розширює межі своїм особистим підходом до ремесла.

Чудово ілюстрована раніше неопублікованими фотографіями матеріалів та процесів, ця книга пропонує читачам унікальний погляд на дім і спосіб життя однієї з найвідоміших пар, що працюють у світі моди сьогодні.

Про автора:

Рік Оуенс — американський модельєр і лауреат Національної премії Cooper-Hewitt у галузі дизайну.

Before the advent of corporate communications and architectural uniformity, America's built environment was a free-form landscape of individual expression. Signs, artifacts, and even buildings ranged from playful to eccentric, from deliciously cartoonish to quasipsychedelic. Photographer John Margolies spent over three decades and drove more than 100,000 miles documenting these fascinating and endearingly artisanal examples of roadside advertising and fantasy structures, a fast-fading aspect of Americana.

This book brings together approximately 400 color photographs of Main Street signs, movie theaters, gas stations, fast food restaurants, motels, roadside attractions, miniature golf courses, dinosaurs, giant figures and animals, and fantasy coastal resorts. In an age when online shopping and mega-malls have reconfigured American consumerism, stripping away idiosyncracy in favor of a bland homogeneity, Margolies's elegiac 30-year survey reminds us of a more innocent unpredictable and colorful past.

History is the lens through which Robert A.M. Stern and his fifteen design partners envision an architecture for today. Robert A.M. Stern Architects: Buildings and Projects 2010–2014 is the seventh volume in a series that encompasses the breadth of the firm’s work since Stern’s earliest projects in the mid-1960s.

Emphasizing the output of the office over the past five years, this volume covers the most globalized period of practice so far. Featuring profiles of well over 100 designs built domestically and abroad, Robert A.M. Stern Architects: Buildings and Projects 2010–2014 includes significant projects in Asia, from China to India. In the United States, the firm’s educational, cultural, commercial, religious, and residential work continues to broaden its exploration of traditional and contemporary architectural expression.

This volume presents the firm’s continued influence on campuses across the United States, reflecting the position that education holds in its ethic, with new additions to Drexel University in Philadelphia, Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and the University of Colorado Boulder. The office also remains key to the ongoing development of its home in New York City, with new residential towers on the High Line and in Greenwich Village.

Designs for Living: The Houses of Robert A. M. Stern Architects

I think that all architecture comes from what went before. And how carefully one hews to precedent or how many liberties one takes, in my view, is part of a larger set of judgments as to what is, or could be called, “appropriate.” Appropriate from every point of view, especially from the site, the cultural expectations of a community and of the specific client. — Robert A. M. Stern

Central to the work of Robert A. M. Stern is a commitment to an architecture that reinterprets the past to serve contemporary life. This monograph, the fifth volume since Stern opened his practice in 1969, explores the application of this principle to a wide range of building types, including libraries, university buildings, cultural centers, offices, towers, and private residences.

Focused on the years 2004 through 2009, an exceptionally productive period for Stern’s firm, this volume includes designs for the Miami Beach, Jacksonville, and Clearwater Public Libraries in Florida, the vast Zubiarte retail complex in Bilbao, Spain, two new residential colleges at Yale University, the widely acclaimed 15 Central Park West condominium in New York, Comcast, a crystalline addition to the Philadelphia skyline, and the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas, Texas.

In a conversation with renowned architecture critic Paul Goldberger, Stern discusses the principles that have guided the firm since its inception, focusing on the collaborative nature of the work and the importance of precedent and context. He also describes his own role as an educator, as dean of the architecture school at Yale University, and his deep interest in the history of architecture, first awakened during his student days at Yale.

Designs for Living: The Houses of Robert A. M. Stern Architects

Robert A. M. Stern is dedicated to the synthesis of tradition and innovation. In more than thirty-five years of practice, he has produced a wide range of building types with a variety of stylistic influences, all inspired by the great legacy of American architecture. His firm, Robert A. M. Stern Architects, was first recognized for its distinguished houses, and residential design remains the cornerstone of the practice. This beautifully illustrated monograph - a companion to the best-selling Robert A. M. Stern: Houses - presents twenty-six of the firm's most memorable houses.

Located in diverse settings across North America - from a valley in Colorado with sweeping views of the Aspen mountains to a bluff overlooking Long Island Sound to an island off the coast of British Columbia - these remarkable houses reveal the architect's emphasis on the importance of context and his dedication to exploring the nature of space. Each house invokes the vernacular architectural heritage particular to its region while gracefully reflecting its unique natural surroundings. Whether they are Shingle Style "cottages" by the sea, colonial Georgian country estates, or elegant Regency designs, Stern's houses are unique both for their timelessness and their ability to evoke a conversation with the past - a dialogue he believes lies at the heart of architecture.

Приголомшлива колекція з дванадцяти визначних проектів Роберта Кайма, починаючи від Блумсбері до Багамських островів, від ірландської сільської місцевості до глибини Франції. Чудові, спеціально замовлені фотографії Тесси Трегер супроводжуються текстом, який поєднує в собі ґрунтовні описи рішень та викликів, пов'язаних з кожним проектом, з розповіддю про те, як цей найкультурніший з дизайнерів розвивав своє бачення. З передмовою Його Королівської Високості Принца Уельського, це вичерпна книга про Роберта Кайма, одного з найшанованіших та найвпливовіших англійських дизайнерів сучасності.

Про авторів:

Колишній учитель і давній друг Роберта Кайма, Алістер Ленглендс, тісно співпрацював з Робертом, його друзями та клієнтами, щоб запропонувати багату та нюансовану картину його досягнень як дизайнера.

Тесса Трегер — одна з видатних фотографів свого покоління і широко визнана тим, що підняла тему фотографічного натюрморту з їжею до статусу мистецтва. Тесса Трегер здобула освіту в Школі фотографії та образотворчого мистецтва Гілдфорда, а з 1960-х років працювала в студії Rossetti Studios у Челсі, Лондон. Вона особливо відома своїми натюрмортами, зробленими на великоформатні камери, багато з яких були опубліковані під час її тривалої співпраці з британським Vogue. Вона регулярно виставляється з 1978 року, а її роботи представлені в Національній портретній галереї, Музеї Вікторії та Альберта в Лондоні, Національній бібліотеці в Парижі та Метрополітен-музеї в Нью-Йорку. Її книга «Лабіринт садівника» була написана Патріком Кінмонтом і видана видавництвом Edward Booth-Clibborn Editions англійською, німецькою та голландською мовами. Книга Voices of the Vivarais, яка підтримала її персональну виставку в галереї Purdy Hicks у червні 2010 року, здобула премію «Фотографічна книга» на British Book Design and Production Awards 2010.

Over the last 10 years, Rome has initiated an extensive process of urban transformation involving important changes in both the city s centre and suburbs. The MenoèPiù competition proposes a system of new parks, squares, schools and buildings in the new periphery. With the participation of several architects from Italy and the rest of Europe, new urban settings and future architectures mark a strategy for the capital's transformation. This book presents 12 of the best projects, including 5+1AA, Labics, Ricci&Spaini, Actar/Nabito, Gianfriddo, Grafton, ecc.

Illustrated on nearly every page with color photographs, reproductions of art, drawings, or maps, this overview of Romanesque art and architecture is a visual feast of Western culture during the spread of Christianity, revealed here in hundreds of paintings, religious objects and sculpture, and buildings that have stood for nearly a thousand years. By the end of the first millennium, both Christianity and Roman architecture were established throughout Europe. As the empire collapsed and Rome withdrew, the architectural traditions left behind—most notably the round arch—were the foundation of what became essentially Christian architecture. Later classified as Romanesque, this style of art and building flourished with the expanding influence of Christianity and monastic culture through the mid-13th century. In sections that explore the evolution of the Romanesque in various regions, this book spotlights such buildings as the fanciful gingerbread collegiate cathedral of St. George in Limburg an der Lahn, Germany, and the picturesque pilgrims' bridge across the Somport in Puente de la Reina, France. Here too are apocalyptic visions in manuscript illuminations in Christian Spain, "tainted" as they were by Moorish influences, and a stunning cathedral-shaped reliquary from Cologne that is domed, gilded, and peopled with saints carved from walrus tusk.
