Архітектура

An accessible primer to the most important architectural touchstones of our time by today’s leading architects and teachers of architecture.

For this volume, over forty internationally renowned architects and educators — from Peter Eisenman and the late Zaha Hadid to Rafael Moneo and Cesar Pelli — were asked to list the top 100 twentieth-century architectural projects they would teach to students. The contributors were encouraged to select built projects where formal, spatial, technological, and organizational concepts responded to dynamic historical, cultural, social, and political circumstances. The capacity of these buildings to resist, adapt, and invent new typologies solidifies their timeless relevance to future challenges.

The result is presented here in this unique volume: a master list of the top 100 “must-know” built works of architecture designed and completed between 1900 and 2000. Ranging from houses and apartment buildings to museums and buildings for education and government, the book offers a wealth of extraordinary works of design and construction and is an essential edition for anyone with an interest in architecture and design.

Кажуть, що 3D-друк революціонізує архітектуру: завдяки новим технологіям пластик, бетон або метал можна екструдувати в рідкому стані, а потім затвердіти до остаточної форми.

У цьому посібнику з будівництва та проектування архітектори та дослідники Костас Грігоріадіс та Гуань Лі представляють вичерпний, актуальний огляд теми.

Книга містить детальні тематичні дослідження будівель, надрукованих на 3D-принтері, матеріали, які можна використовувати у великомасштабному адитивному виробництві, а також розбивку відповідних рекомендацій щодо проектування, обмежень та досяжних розмірів будівництва. Окрім цього, основна увага приділяється екологічним аспектам методу, життєвому циклу матеріалів, придатних для 3D-друку, та втіленій енергії 3D-друку порівняно зі звичайним будівництвом будівель.

"Public art is one of the most important elements that define a city. Public installations echo the character and spirit of a time and place, and remind us all of the imperative need for creativity and imagination in our daily lives."
(Carole Feuerman)

Art has always made a substantial contribution to cultural identity. This impact is considerably enhanced when a work of art is created for a public place and takes on a space-defining function. Whatever the shape, size or medium, art in public, accessible to all, attracts attention. Its presence provokes thought, questions assumptions, expresses values, and adds new qualities to communities and cities.

In this volume, selected works introduce the history of public art over 4,500 years of historical eras and styles, including world-famous landmarks such as the Great Sphinx of Giza, the Trevi Fountain or the Statue of Liberty. The majority of art works presented here are from modern times, allowing an in-depth look at contemporary works by important artists like Alexander Calder, Nam June Paik, Jeff Koons, Eduardo Chillida or Ai Weiwei.

5000 Years of Tiles is the essential, single-volume colour compendium of tile art and production around the world, from ancient times to the present day.

Over 350 beautiful colour illustrations showcase an incredible range of tile arts, including the first fired roof tiles in ancient Greece in the third millennium BC, English medieval floor pavements from Clarendon Palace, figural tiles from China, richly patterned Iznik tiles from the Islamic world and stylized ceramic tiles of the Arts and Crafts movement.

Placing the tiles firmly in their historical and cultural context, this richly illustrated book highlights the continuity and diversity of tiles, examining how tile art in one time and place has inspired and rejuvenated those in others. The function and form of this versatile art is examined in stunning detail, from floors to roofs, stoves to bathrooms, cathedrals to metro stations to reveal a fascinating history of design, colour and decoration.

A sumptuous portrait comprising texts and images of the prestigious complex 565 Broome Soho in New York, designed by the Renzo Piano firm.

This volume is dedicated to the 565 Broome Street skyscraper, the first residential building conceived by Renzo Piano and designed by the Renzo Piano Building Workshop in the city of New York. Developed by Bizzi & Partners, the double tower occupies a corner space in the SoHo district, close to the Hudson River.

Rich and fascinating iconography and a text by Federico Bucci and Carol Willis describe the design, the main features of the building, and how it relates to the city and the light that surrounds it in a unique way.

The photographic selection is divided into thematic chapters, starting from the representation of the building’s urban context and then illustrating the different parts of the project, the formal and structural characteristics of the towers, and the interiors. It also describes the contemporary artwork by Susumu Shingu that occupies the space between the towers.

About the Authors:

Federico Bucci is Full Professor of History of Architecture at the Polytechnic of Milan, where he is also Delegate of the Rector for Cultural Policies, Rector of the Mantua Pole, and head of the UNESCO Chair. Carol Willis is the founder, director, and curator of the Skyscraper Museum. She is also adjunct associate professor of Urban Studies at Columbia University.

Перспективна дизайнерка інтер'єрів Кірстен Блажек, відома своєю зосередженістю на сталому розвитку та поєднанням вінтажних елементів із сучасними, ділиться натхненням для створення автентичного та комфортного дому.

Компанія Блажек, A 1000 X Better, застосовує цілісний підхід до дизайну, надаючи пріоритет індивідуальності, водночас наголошуючи на сталому розвитку, від перепрофілювання існуючих предметів та матеріалів до використання екологічно чистих продуктів. Її інтер'єри поєднують сучасні елементи дизайну з вінтажними предметами, що створює сучасну та теплу атмосферу.

У цій книзі Блажек розбиває свою філософію дизайну на розділи, які допомагають нам сформулювати те, що ми шукаємо, і показують, як ми можемо створювати комфортні, стильні та особисті простори: «Знайдіть свою унікальність», «Відображення себе» та «Кожен дім хоче бути почутим». Блажек розкриває свої улюблені інтер'єри, ділячись фундаментальними елементами дизайну: теорією кольору, нашаруванням текстури та візерунка, а також важливістю мистецтва та предметів, що мають особисте значення.

Результатом є низка інтер'єрів та стилів, що ілюструють, як ці елементи можуть бути перетворені на наші власні простори. Поєднання традиційного та сучасного дизайну від Блажек разом з персональними та індивідуальними штрихами призводить до створення привабливих та комфортних для життя просторів, до яких ми всі прагнемо.

Про авторів:

Кірстен Блажек запустила компанію A 1000 X Better з облаштування житла у 2014 році. Те, що починалося як проект, пов'язаний з пристрастю, швидко перетворилося на процвітаючий бізнес. AXB незабаром перетворилася на фірму з дизайну інтер'єрів для житлових та комерційних приміщень як на Західному, так і на Східному узбережжі.
