Архітектура

Sergey Chernyshev (1881–1963), one of the founders of Soviet urban planning, deservedly occupies a special place among the leading Russian architects of the twentieth century. Already a respected architect before the Russian Revolution, his talent also gained recognition in the Soviet era. Chernyshev’s large-scale designs attracted widespread attention – from the 1935 Master Plan for the Reconstruction of Moscow to his work on the restoration of cities such as Kiev, Leningrad, Warsaw, and Berlin. Chernyshev’s designs have achieved global fame and recognition. Even in the dramatic years under the Stalin regime, Sergey Chernyshev sought to embody the concept of an “ideal society” in architecture and urban planning theories. He successfully implemented bold and innovative designs, at the same time managing to adhere to national architectural traditions and remain faithful to his own vision.

Современный интерьерный рынок переполнен решениями – от классических до концептуально-абстрактных, и это делает безумно сложной задачу создания чего-то пригодного для эксплуатации, но при этом небанального. Мастерская Эстрина справляется с этим великолепно: среди множества ее проектов нет ни одного, который не соответствовал бы своей функции с точностью до миллиметра, при этом оставаясь неповторимым. Такой эффект достигается благодаря тому, что в основе работы Мастерской лежит простой принцип: каждый проект должен, как человек, иметь свой собственный характер, отражающийся в каждой детали. Именно поэтому тщательной проработке подвергаются не только сама концепция объекта, но и материалы для его реализации. Если того требуют идея и характер, новый материал всегда можно изобрести. Самое большое достоинство Мастерской Эстрина – умение одинаково блистательно делать и пентхаузы, и бюджетные офисы. Это делает их привлекательными как для крупного и малого бизнеса, так и для частного заказчика. А это, согласитесь, дорогого стоит.

In 1994, when Chelsea Green published The Straw Bale House, the response from many people was a loud, "Huh?!"

Those days are gone. With more than 100,000 copies sold, and straw bale projects underway in most regions of North America, we've entered a new era. Even building-code officials and insurance companies now look favorably upon straw bale buildings, with their extraordinary energy efficiency and wise use of agricultural waste for construction materials.

Bergeron and Lacinski's new book Serious Straw Bale is the first to look carefully at the specific design considerations critical to success with a straw bale building in more extreme climates-where seasonal changes in temperature, precipitation, and humidity create special stresses that builders must understand and address. The authors draw upon years of experience with natural materials and experimental techniques, and present a compelling rationale for building with straw-one of nature's most resilient, available, and affordable byproducts.

For skeptics and true believers, this book will prove to be the latest word.

• Thorough explanations of how moisture and temperature affect buildings in seasonal climates, with descriptions of the unique capacities of straw and other natural materials to provide warmth, quiet, and comfort year-round.
• Comprehensive comparison of the two main approaches to straw bale construction: "Nebraska-style," where bales bear the weight of the roof, and framed structures, where bales provide insulation.
• Detailed advice-including many well-considered cautions-for contractors, owner-builders, and designers, following each stage of a bale-building process.

This is a second-generation straw bale book, for those seeking serious information to meet serious challenges while adventuring in the most fun form of construction to come along in several centuries.

Summer at the Serpentine. Ten years of temporary pavilions by top architects

Since 2000, the Serpentine Gallery in London’s Kensington Gardens has called on some of the world’s top architects to design summer pavilions – temporary structures that are erected next to the Gallery itself for a three-month period. The Serpentine, which was built in 1934 as a tea pavilion, opened in 1970 as a showplace for exhibitions of modern and contemporary artists ranging from Matthew Barney to Dan Flavin, Ellsworth Kelley, Louise Bourgeois or Rachel Whiteread.
The pavilions in the Programme that was conceived in 2000 by the Serpentine Director Julia Peyton-Jones, are the work of international architects or design teams who at the time of the Serpentine’s invitation have not completed a building in England. A maximum of six months from invitation to completion is allotted. The only architecture program of its type in the world, the Serpentine Gallery Pavilions attract up to 250,000 visitors each summer. The Serpentine Pavilion is regularly ranked in the top 5 most attended architecture and design exhibitions worldwide in The Art Newspaper’s annual survey of museums and galleries visitor figures. The architect Richard Rogers has stated, “The pavilions, erected for reatively little money, are unbelievably good. I coudn’t single one out that I have liked more than the others – they have all been masterpieces.”

The projects completed or envisaged include the work of

* Zaha Hadid, 2000
* Daniel Libeskind, 2001
* Toyo Ito, 2002
* Oscar Niemeyer, 2003
* MVRDV, 2004 (un-realised)
* Alvaro Siza and Eduardo Souto de Moura with Cecil Balmond, 2005
* Rem Koolhaas and Cecil Balmond, 2006
* Olafur Eliasson and Kjetil Thorsen, 2007
* Frank Gehry, 2008
* SANAA, 2009
* Jean Nouvel, 2010
* Other works such as Zaha Hadid's temporary 2006 installation Lilas are included in the book as well.

This book is the first to bring together all of the Serpentine Pavilions. Interviews of Serpentine Director Julia Peyton-Jones and Co-Director Hans Ulrich Obrist complete the description of the pavilions, illustrated by the original drawings by each architect and photos of the completed works.

Shadowfolds — це багате поєднання традиційних мотивів, виражених у сучасному стилі. Техніка, започаткована художником Крісом К. Палмером, створює візерунки з однієї нерозрізаної панелі тканини за допомогою простого триетапного процесу.

У Shadowfolds Джефф Рутцкі, сам досвідчений і пристрасний орігаміст, і Палмер пропонують детальну та захоплюючу інформацію про техніку та її походження як у мавританській плитці, так і в класичному японському орігамі. Палмер вперше зіткнувся з вишуканою мозаїкою Альгамбри і зацікавився тим, що навчився перекладати ці візерунки на складений папір. Він звернувся за натхненням до робіт японських майстрів орігамі Томоко Фюзе, Джун Маекава, Тосікадзу Кавасакі та Шузу Фудзімото, а також до великих американських орігамістів Роберта Ленга та Пітера Енгела.

Потім був перехід до роботи по сукну. Гнучка властивість тканини дозволяє складати складки для збільшення та надання розмірності, якої немає на плоскій поверхні; а напівпрозорість додає неповторної складності геометричним візерункам. Коли лінії у візерунку складаються як складки, отримані форми, утворені складками, стають частиною художнього вираження матеріалу.

Можливості використання Shadowfolds у дизайні безмежні. Деякі аплікації використовують світло, що просвічує тканину, інші демонструють багатство складок, які мають власну глибину. На додаток до пояснення трьох дуже простих кроків техніки, автори показують, як навіть новачки папки можуть створювати захоплюючі витвори текстильного мистецтва, а також передовий одяг, аксесуари та домашні меблі, що містять ці тривимірні прикраси. Вони також включають розділ візерунків, тканини та ресурси для рукоділля.

Designers have long used traditional Chinese elements to add a touch of the Orient to homes and corporate interiors. Now, Shangai Interiors reveals stunning ways to incorporate these elements more fully into room designs. Don't just put a Chinese symbol on a wall; make sure it is meaningful in the context of the room. Use the rich colors of Chinese art; introduce the forms that are part of Chinese calligraphy and interiors. Part modern art, part feng shui, the ideas in this book allow designers everywhere to capture the richness and majesty of the East.

John Liu, professor of art history at the Beijing University. He is a famous specialist in traditional Chinese art, and participates in a lot of publications about the use of the traditional Chinese style in the modern design of furniture and home interiors.

Once a fishing town nestled on the banks of the Yangtze River Delta on the east cost of China, Shanghai is now the country’s largest city and one of the world’s busiest ports. The city has been the cultural and economic center of eastern Asia for over a century and has become synonymous with all that is modern in China. This book adventures through Shanghai, giving readers a cross-section of the city’s loveliest and most exceptional interiors, such as a penthouse loft in a converted hardware factory with a rooftop greenhouse, controversial writer/superstar Mian Mian’s conceptual “art apartment,” the painstakingly restored “dream house” of a French archaeologist in the French Concession, and the sprawling, flamboyant apartment of art world diva Pearl Lam.

Nicholas Haslam is one of the world's finest interior designers, sought by rock stars, royalty and the aristocracy alike. His interiors have chutzpah and a touch of opulence that seduce you the moment you catch a glimpse. Rooms look glamorous and sexy, yet liveable, practical and, above all, flattering to their owner and their surroundings. He makes great use of the completely unexpected and is known for effects such as linen carpets, silver-papered ceilings, slashed leather curtains and Picasso-inspired fabric footstools. Sheer Opulence, with specially commissioned photography by David Montgomery, reveals Haslam's decorating secrets and instinctive approach to both classic and contemporary interiors in a visual diary with Haslam's own watercolour plans accompanying the stunning photographs of rooms around the world.

Master of innovation. Challenging accepted notions of architecture

Famed Japanese architect Shigeru Ban attended SCI-Arc in California and earned his degree at the Cooper Union School of Architecture in New York. With offices in Tokyo and Paris, Ban consistently challenges accepted notions of architecture, designing a house without walls, or an exhibition space made from paper tubes and shipping containers. This survey traces his entire career to date, showing clearly why he is one of the world’s most innovative and significant architects. Unlike many of his peers, Ban can create remarkable residences and still find time to design emergency relief housing for disaster areas from Kobe to New Orleans. Often using paper or cardboard tubes as a structural element, his designs give new meaning to the term "Paper Architect." His major completed works include the Furniture House at Lake Yamanaka, Japan, the Curtain Wall House in Tokyo, the Naked House in Kawagoe, Japan, the Japanese Pavilion at Hannover Expo 2000, the mobile Nomadic Museum, and his most recent masterpiece, the Centre Pompidou-Metz in France.

About the Series:
Every book in TASCHEN's Basic Architecture Series features:

• approximately 120 images, including photographs, sketches, drawings, and floor plans
• introductory essays exploring the architect's life and work, touching on family and background as well as collaborations with other architects
• the most important works presented in chronological order, with descriptions of client and/or architect wishes as well as construction problems and resolutions
• an appendix including a list of complete or selected works, biography, bibliography, and a map indicating the locations of the architect's most famous buildings

Master innovator: Challenging accepted notions of architecture

From emergency relief shelters to a cardboard cathedral and exhibition spaces in shipping containers, Pritzker-prize winning architect Shigeru Ban has made his name with his restlessly inventive response to material and situation, as much as with his humanitarian work at the sites of natural and man-made disasters.

In the spirit of three-dimensional poetry, Ban uses materials as an incorporated part of his design, selected not for their cutting-edge credentials but rather for their expressive ability, their capacity to convey the building’s overall concept. In particular, Ban has made regular use of paper tubing in projects as varied as the Japanese Pavilion at Expo 2000 and emergency shelters for Rwanda’s Byumba Refugee Camp.

This essential introduction, compiled with Ban’s own collaboration, presents every one of his projects to date to survey the full reach and importance of, in the words of the Pritzker Prize jury, a “committed teacher who is not only a role model for a younger generation but also an inspiration.”
