Архітектура

Most architectural standards references contain thousands of pages of details, overwhelmingly more than architects need to know on any given day. 

The updated and revised edition of Architecture Reference & Specification contains vital information that's essential to planning and executing architectural projects of all shapes and sizes, all in a format that is small enough to carry anywhere. It distils the data provided in standard architectural volumes and is an easy-to-use reference for the most indispensable -- and most requested -- types of architectural information.

This grand opus assembles the people and the pieces at the heart of the Art Deco movement at each stage of its enduring appeal. The Art Deco Style is richly illustrated with the work of legendary designers and decorators Eileen Gray, Paul Iribe, Antoine Bourdelle, Armand-Albert Rateau and Jean Dunand, among others.   

Ever since its early 20th-century origins, Art Deco has fascinated and amused socialites, collectors and designers. Referred to at the time as moderne, the style largely took shape around a clientele of French fashion industry luminaries and wealthy international collectors. Art historians christened it during a second wave in the ’60s, while a third generation of afficionados entered the auction houses of the ’80s and ’90s, ready to invest in the most exquisite examples. Curated by art consultant and author Alastair Duncan, this detailed historical account is the gold-standard visual guide to the decorative arts.   

• Richly illustrated history of Art Deco
• Written by art consultant Alastair Duncan
• Designs by Eileen Gray, Jean Dunand and Antoine Bourdelle, among many others
• Featuring legendary Art Deco collectors such as Jacques Doucet, Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld
• Perfect for antiques collectors, as well as fans of art, art history and design

About the Author:

Alastair Duncan is an international consultant on 19th and 20th century decorative arts and was, for ten years, a specialist and consultant on the subject for Christie's New York. He is the author of Louis C. Tiffany - The Garden Museum Collection and the Paris Salons series, also published by ACC. He has written 36 other books on the decorative arts, as well as articles for magazines including Vogue, Connoisseur, The Magazine Antiques and House & Garden.

The well-judged use of classical details in a new home has an additional significance that cannot be underestimated. It is an expression of an informed personal choice and an aesthetic statement of faith in civilised values and an evocation of the delight in the human senses – light and touch, or the sensation of the warmth of sunlight falling on stone. This is true of all houses featured in this book.

In The Art of Classical Details, classically trained architect, Phillip Dodd, takes a close look at some of the finest examples of neo-Classical architecture around the world. Featuring essays written by a range of skilled contemporary classicists as well as projects by top UK and US Classical architects, the book is the definitive guide to the world of neo-Classical architectural detailing.

About the Author:

A native of Manchester, England, Phillip James Dodd attended the prestigious Prince of Wales' Institute of Architecture in London - where he was taught by many of the architects featured in this book. He received a Degree in Architecture from his hometown university, before moving to America, where he gained a Masters in Architecture from the University of Notre Dame. As a well-regarded expert on classical architecture and interiors, Phillip has worked for some of the most recognized residential architectural firms in America. He is a Fellow Emeritus at the Institute of Classical Architecture (ICA), and Classical America (CA), where from 2006 to 2009 he served as the jury coordinator for the annual Arthur Ross Awards.

Унікальний підхід до історії мистецтва через історію кольору та пігментів.

Чи знаєте ви, що ультрамарин, який мерехтить у центрі «Молочниці» Вермеєра, поєднує цей шедевр із зороастрійськими малюнками 6-го століття, знайденими на стінах печерних храмів у Баміані, Афганістан? Або що бурхливі хвилі, які виростають у небезпечній Великій хвилі Хокусая біля Канагави, завдячують своїм поглинаючим синім блиском алхіміку, який народився в замку Франкенштейна в 1673 році? І чи справді прерафаеліти були одержимі темно-коричневим відтінком, отриманим із подрібнених останків стародавніх мумій? (Спойлер: вони були.)

Винайдені доісторичними мешканцями печер і середньовічними фокусниками, хитрими шахраями та кмітливими вченими, кольори мистецтва розповідають власну захоплюючу історію. Понад десять захоплюючих розділів відома письменниця Келлі Гров’єр допомагає яскраво оживити цю історію, розкриваючи дивовижні передісторії пігментів, які визначають найвидатніші твори в історії мистецтва. Між цими розділами переплетена серія сюжетів, присвячених ключовим моментам еволюції теорії кольору – від одкровень епохи Просвітництва до радикалізму Баухаузу – тоді як репродукції ретельно відібраних творів мистецтва допомагають висвітлити повороти оповіді.

Історія кольору — це епічна сага про людську винахідливість і ненаситне бажання. Прочитайте цю книгу, і ви ніколи не дивитеся на твір мистецтва однаково.

Про автора:

Келлі Гров’є є автором статей для BBC Culture і автором кількох відомих досліджень мистецтва, зокрема 100 Works of Art That Will Define Our Age, Art Since 1989, та A New Way of Seeing: The History of Art in 57 Works, опублікованих Thames & Hudson. Його остання книга, On Line: Conversations with Sean Scully, заснована на розкриваючих бесідах з його близьким другом, всесвітньо відомим художником-абстракціоністом. Його твори публікувалися в Times Literary Supplement, The Independent, Sunday Times, Observer, RA Magazine і Wired. Його історія лондонської в’язниці Ньюгейт, The Gaol, була «Книгою тижня» BBC Radio 4. Він є співзасновником наукового журналу European Romantic Review.

Він є автором трьох поетичних збірок, у тому числі «The Lantern Cage», і був описаний рецензентами як «поет правди і краси» (The TLS) і «своєрідний Вільям Блейк для двадцять першого століття» (журнал «Планета»).

Келлі народилася в Гранд-Рапідс, штат Мічиган, і виросла в районі затоки Сан-Франциско. Він здобув освіту в Каліфорнійському університеті в Лос-Анджелесі та Оксфордському університеті, де отримав докторський ступінь як стипендіат Маршалла. Живе в Ірландії з дружиною та сином.

Для всіх, хто хоче добре жити у своєму саду, ось посібник зі створення стильних і зручних для життя просторів на відкритому повітрі – для розваг, ігор і відпочинку.

Окремі басейни завдяки пишним насадженням, спальні, що виходять на задній двір, бар біля печі на відкритому повітрі. Уродженець Каліфорнії та архітектор екстер’єру Скотт Шрейдер відомий тим, що створював привабливі кімнати просто неба для таких клієнтів, як Еллен ДеДженерес і Патрік Демпсі. У своїй першій книзі він розповідає про дванадцять прекрасних будинків, які створені для проживання та насолоди як продовження будинків, які вони оточують, багатих на комфорт істот. Шрейдер показує нам, як поєднати зовнішній ландшафт із внутрішнім декором; в результаті чого зовнішнє середовище природно, стильно та спокійно витікає з цього ядра. Він також надихає нас подумати про те, як ці відкриті простори будуть використовуватися, і заздалегідь спланувати способи, як нагодувати, зігріти та розважити нашу родину та гостей у них.

Між представленими садами, стилі яких коливаються від голлівудського регентства до сучасного марокканського, розміщені медитативні есе на такі теми, як сталий розвиток, спосіб життя та шляхи, де Шрейдер розмірковує про те, як сади постійно змінюються невеликими способами, змінюючи настрій зі світлом і погодою, різко змінюючи цикл пір року та плином років. Це сучасні шикарні сади та розважальні майданчики на відкритому повітрі, спеціально розроблені для приготування їжі, розваг, ігор і відпочинку.

Про авторів:

Ландшафтний дизайн Скотта Шредера заснований на інтуїтивній здатності підключатися до внутрішнього «серця» будинку; в результаті чого зовнішнє середовище природно, стильно та спокійно витікає з цього ядра. Ретельно враховуючи бажання своїх клієнтів, Скотт створює сади, розважальні зони на відкритому повітрі та розслаблюючу атмосферу, спеціально розроблену для тих, хто їх використовує.
Його широкі знання про дизайн і концепцію походять як від ступеня магістра ландшафтної архітектури, так і від бакалавра в галузі міського планування. Його проекти включають будинки, ранчо, маєтки та оздоровчі заклади в Лос-Анджелесі, Малібу, Монтесіто, Вайомінгу, на Гаваях і в Хорватії.

Take a walk around a park trodden by many but known by few. From Lancaster House, venue of famous speeches and summits, to 100 Piccadilly, the stage of an ongoing Soviet-themed reality experience, The Buildings of Green Park captures the unseen history of these well-travelled streets.

Green Park boasts a plethora of London landmarks, including Bridgewater House and the Canada Gates. The Buildings of Green Park gives each of these sites the attention they deserve, while also celebrating a multitude of overlooked buildings: those that are passed every day without comment from the guides. Local history, old photographs, paintings and floorplans offer a tantalising peek into the backstory behind these backdrops. Moving through the winter and into the spring, Andrew Jones’s crisp photography captures a London shaped by past, present and hopes for the future.

About the Author:

Andrew Jones’s Instagram takes us across sub-Saharan Africa, from the Democratic Republic of Congo to the Ivory Coast. For this project, he explores far closer to home. During the 2020 lockdown, Jones combined his outdoor exercise time with photographing buildings and monuments in his native Green Park. To preserve the character of this mid-Pandemic project, the pictures featured here have undergone minimal editing and the research is limited to the resources Jones had access to at the time. The result is an intriguing meld of highly localised travelogue and lockdown memento.

This is a book about four cities who were several times, and especially in connection with World War II forcedly put into completely new national contexts. This was affected by coercion from outside. The changes included genocide and forced displacement, but preserved built environment testifies past populations and national contexts. This book describes the urban environment in the four cities before World War II, and how the present population handles the memories of the past for future development.

In connection with World War II and its aftermaths, many of the four cities Chişinău, Černivci, Lviv and Wrocław residents were either killed or subject to forced migration beyond the new national borders. People settled in the city environment which still bore the traces of the earlier population and the earlier urban life that had been brutally put to an end.

Due to the continued Russian military aggression on the territory of Ukraine, this study takes on a new relevance.

A revised and updated edition of Sir John Summerson's classic book.

Derived from the principles of Greek and Roman architecture in antiquity, the classical style has long dominated the history of western architecture from the Renaissance to the present. Sir John Summerson’s timeless text, as relevant today as it was when first published, distils the visual language of architecture into its core classical elements, and illustrates that building throughout the ages express an awareness of the ‘grammar’ of style and its rules even if they vary, break or poetically contradict them. From the original edifices of Greece and Rome to the recapitulations and innovations of the Renaissance; the explosive rhetoric of the Baroque to the grave statements of Neo-classicism; and finally, the exuberant eclecticism of the Victorians and Edwardians to the 'stripped Neo-classicism' of some of the moderns; Summerson explains how every period has employed classical language to make their statement.

With a new introduction by academic and architectural historian Alan Powers, this introduction continues to be one of the defining texts on the subject and is essential reading for all students of architecture.

About the Author:
