Архітектура

Everybody knows Athens’ Acropolis, Paris’ Notre Dame or the Victory Column in Berlin – and nobody can imagine any of it without its impressive pillar constructions. Pillars always act as a symbol of grandeur and power but often they also have crucial functions in urban architecture. Thus, reduced on its raison d’être – pillars providing stability.

The richly illustrated book leads the reader into the midst of European metropolitan centers, on a path of discovering the base, shaft and capital in their purest form under balconies and roofs, over rivers and on city plazas. This collection of photographs documents the entire scope of pillar design from ancient to brand new, from fugal to pompously ornate, from functional to playful.

The volume is part of a series, which is focused not on prominent buildings at large but on ingenious and extraordinary details.

Windows serve as the eye of the house. They provide contact between the internal world of a building and the world outside – windows permit light, air and glances to move into the space but also establish a connection to the outer world for all people inside. Beside these functional values windows always act as distinctive elements of a building’s appearance and style. They are an important part of the architectural message a house is transmitting.

This copiously illustrated book presents a varied selection of windows from Europe’s architectural capitals from Amsterdam to Zurich. A plenitude of high-quality photographs reveals the intriguing diversity of style, proportions and color in European window design of all epochs and areas. They document the entire scope of window framing and glazing from ancient to brand new, from frugal to pompously ornate, from functional to playful.

The volume is part of a series, which is focused not on prominent buildings at large but on ingenious and extraordinary details.

About the Authors:

John Zukowsky is an architectural and design historian. He was curator of architecture at the Art Institute of Chicago from 1978 to 2004, and has since held several executive positions at institutions in Chicago, New York and Ohio. He has also been the recipient of honors from the American Institute of Architects and the republics of Austria and France.
Robbie Polley is an architectural illustrator. He has worked on many major architecture projects in the UK and internationally, from the New British Library to the Lisbon Expo.

Examines the influence of twentieth-century avant-garde movements on the contemporary architectural landscape through the work of “disruptors” such as Frank Gehry, Rem Koolhaas, and Zaha Hadid. With an irregular format designed by celebrated graphic designer Abbott Miller of Pentagram.

In Architecture Unbound, noted architecture critic Joseph Giovannini proposes that our current architectural landscape ultimately emerged from transgressive and progressive art movements that had roiled Europe before and after World War I. By the 1960s, social unrest and cultural disruption opened the way for investigations into an inventive, antiauthoritarian architecture. Explorations emerged in the 1970s, and built projects surfaced in the 1980s, taking digital form in the 1990s, with large-scale projects finally landing on the far side of the millennium.

Architecture Unbound traces all of these developments and influences, presenting an authoritative and illuminating history not only of the sources of contemporary currents in architecture but also of the twentieth-century avant-garde and the twenty-first-century digital revolution in form-making, and profiling the most influential practitioners and their most notable projects, including Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Bilbao and Walt Disney Concert Hall, Zaha Hadid’s Guangzhou Opera House, Daniel Libeskind’s master plan for the World Trade Center, Rem Koolhaas’s CCTV Tower, and Herzog and de Meuron’s Bird’s Nest Olympic Stadium in Beijing.

About the Author:

Joseph Giovannini is a practicing architect who has written on architecture and design for three decades for such publications as the New York Times, Architectural Record, Art in America, and Art Forum, and he has served as the architecture critic for New York magazine and the Los Angeles Herald Examiner.

A survey of the full breadth and complexity of Mexican art history, ranging widely across genres and offering new interpretations of painting, sculpture, architecture, prints and photographs

This new interpretive history of Mexican art and architecture from the Spanish Conquest to the early decades of the twenty-first century is the most comprehensive introduction to the subject in fifty years.

The author ranges widely across media and genres, offering new readings of paintings, murals, sculptures, buildings, prints and photographs. He interprets major works by such famous artists as Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, but also discusses less familiar figures who were equally important in the construction of national identity.

The story of Mexican art is set in its rich historical context by the book’s treatment of political and social change. The author draws on recent scholarship to examine crucial issues of race, class and gender, including an exploration of the work of indigenous artists during the colonial period, and of women artists in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Throughout, Oles shows how artists in Mexico participated in local and international developments, and highlights the important role played by Mexicans in the art world of the last five centuries.

Contents List:

Introduction • Chapter 1: Conquest and Negotiation 1520–1600 • Chapter 2: Art for the New Cities 1550–1700 • Chapter 3: Baroque Splendor under the Bourbons 1700–1810 • Chapter 4: From Neoclassicism to Romanticism 1750–1850 • Chapter 5: National Identity: History, Landscape, Citizens 1840–80 • Chapter 6: From the Porfiriato to the Revolution 1880–1920 • Chapter 7: From Revolution to Renaissance 1920–34 • Chapter 8: Political and Personal Dreams 1934–46 • Chapter 9: Construction and Rebellion 1946–72 • Chapter 10: From the Olympics to Neo-Mexicanism 1968–94 • Chapter 11: Contemporary Art

Now available in a new format, this lavishly illustrated volume explores Art Deco art and design from its origin to its present day influences.

The Art Deco style is so recognizable and widespread that its original influence on the culture in which it emerged has been all but lost in the clutter of imitation. This book draws our attention back to the birth of Art Deco — a period between two devastating world wars when industrialization was flourishing, interest in archaeology was peaking, and movements such as Cubism, Constructivism, Futurism, and Modernism were turning the art world on its head. Brilliantly designed to reflect the style it celebrates, Art Deco is filled with hundreds of examples of painting, architecture, interiors, jewellery, crafts, furniture, and fashion.

Author Norbert Wolf traces the chronology of the Art Deco style by looking at the politics and culture of Europe in the 1920s and early 1930s, and the artistic movements that paralleled its popularity. He follows Art Deco’s influence in Europe and its immigration to the Americas and Asia. Most importantly, this wide-ranging volume looks beyond the era of Art Deco’s origination to the present day. Pointing to the numerous revivals and contemporary echoes in painting and even literature, this beautiful volume demonstrates that Art Deco is alive and well today — often in forms where we least expect it.
