Архітектура

On discovering a garage, a workshop or an old warehouse in which to live and very often to work and be creative, artists and professionals or less conventional spirits found their own space, open and bare, which they adapted to their personal needs.

Featuring the work of some of the world’s most prestigious architects, this book shows diverse examples of how the concept of the loft has been installed in our perception as a place to live.

Тім Стріт-Портер, давній мешканець Лос-Анджелеса та відомий фотограф, пропонує цей масштабний огляд найкращих історичних та сучасних будинків Лос-Анджелеса, які мають величезний резонанс для сучасного дизайну інтер'єру.

Видання «Street-Porter» з Лос-Анджелеса вже понад двадцять п'ять років фіксує архітектуру та інтер'єри цього мегаполісу. Ця приголомшлива колекція натхненних будинків починається з огляду на минуле, який включає приклади культових будинків, натхненних голлівудськими кінофантазіями, модерністських резиденцій таких світил, як Джон Лотнер, та будинків у стилі деконструктивізму Френка Гері. У центрі книги представлені сучасні перспективні будинки, розділені на дві частини: «Життя з мистецтвом та дизайном» та «Модерн Лос-Анджелеса». Антиквар Джоел Чен майстерно поєднує привабливу колекцію старовинних меблів та китайських предметів, тоді як будинок дизайнера інтер'єрів Жана-Луї Денуа виблискує позолоченим дзеркалом Тоні Дюкетта та люстрою з черепашки. Ще однією тенденцією є реставрація модерністських будинків з індивідуальним підходом. Переробка художницею Мері Везерфорд свого будинку, спроектованого А. Квінсі Джонсом, у співпраці з дизайнером Олівером Фертом має вражаючу помаранчеву спальню. Освітлюючи драматичні житлові простори Лос-Анджелеса, що поєднують інтер'єр та екстер'єр, ця книга є обов'язковою для шанувальників архітектури та дизайну.

A visually stunning and beautifully written celebration of park life around the world.

Parks are an absolutely essential part of modern life. From the author who brought you Lido, here are 50 of the world’s greatest parks – but not just a list of the examples we already know. Yes, we’ll tell you about those storied greats such as Central Park in New York and Phoenix Park in Dublin, but we’ll also take you to the Philippines, to Australia, to provincial Britain and around the world to show you the most historic and the most interesting, the newest and most cutting-edge that mix the best of nature and architecture. We’ll explore what you can find there, who goes there, why they are important, and how parks respond to their environments, including ones over a road, on old rail lines or in Berlin’s former airport. Examples include:

- Freeway Park, Seattle, USA: a bizarre and brilliant brutalist park over a motorway.
- Ibirapuera Park, São Paulo, Brazil: this one contains amazing galleries and theatres.
- Holyrood Park, Edinburgh, UK: mountains within a city.
- Adelaide’s parks, Australia: unique in that the entire city centre is enclosed by parks.

and many, many more. Illustrated with glorious photographs throughout, this book is a fascinating record of the world’s most interesting and innovative parks, and the people who use them – you’ll want to visit them all.

The first book to feature the precisely detailed, sumptuous architecture of Stanhope Gate, one of the finest firms working in the classical style anywhere.

Alireza Sagharchi, principal of Stanhope Gate Architecture, is one of the world's leading classical architects, whose projects are dazzling in their scale and accomplishment -- many of which, until now, have been unpublished and little seen. From a European Palladian villa to a country house in Scotland, Sagharchi's work is a testament to the virtues of traditional planning and design as married to an informed and inspired vision that embraces the wisdom of the past, of classicism and vernacular traditions, while establishing harmony with the needs of contemporary living.

Classicism at Home, richly detailed with new photography, meticulous drawings, and beautifully written text, features Sagharchi's work around the world, from a residence in Kensington Gardens, London, a chic eco-resort on the Danube, and a rural hunting lodge to an elegantly appointed courtyard house by the sea.

The practice works within diverse styles and the tradition of the local to create stylistically unique buildings that fit their context. The book features both exteriors and interiors, as well as exquisitely manicured gardens.

Household organization is complicated, and the basic steps to attaining rooms which are uncluttered yet have everything within arm’s reach usually lie in choosing good storage options. All resources come into play when conceiving and designing functional and versatile rooms that adapt to their inhabitants and lend a coherent decor to the whole, all to one’s personal taste.

This book explores various storage solutions for apartments of different sizes. It is structured from the lowest to the highest available surface, and they all have aspects in common: the style of each house, the space available, the entrance of light and how to take advantage of it, and finally the color.

У своїй третій книзі Cocoon: Creating Homes with Heart Алі Гіт запрошує читача створити домашній затишок, зосереджений на людському дотику, як протиотруту від нашого швидкоплинного, технологічно керованого сучасного світу. Цей спосіб декорування — це набагато більше, ніж просто зовнішній вигляд чи стиль, це цілісний підхід, який спирається на всі наші почуття, а не лише на візуальні, і більш значуще пов’язує нас із собою та навколишнім середовищем. У минулому створення затишку полягало в оформленні кількох ключових кімнат, тепер же йдеться про те, які відчуття викликає в нас увесь будинок.

Кокон — це не ізоляція чи замкненість і не обов’язково означає відхід від мережі — це просто повернення до наших емоцій та творчості, щоб задовольнити нашу потребу в комфорті та диві. Поділена на три інформативні розділи: «Кокон», «Відчуття» та «Життя», книга досліджує домівки 13 творчих людей з усього світу, включаючи архітекторів, антикварів, виробників меблів та художників у Великій Британії, Франції, Іспанії, Італії та Австралії. З усім, від невеликих міських затишних куточків до просторих острівних затишних куточків, Cocoon втілює дизайнерський підхід, який промовляє до серця.

Modern maximalist designer Philip Mitchell reveals his talent for blending collections, family heirlooms, contemporary art, and accessories in visually creative environments that are brimming with personality, color, authenticity, and warmth.

The elegant, clean classicism of Philip Mitchell’s style is on full display in these homes, where he masterfully incorporates a wide-ranging mix of antiques, vintage collectibles, and contemporary pieces — everything from inherited furniture collections to modern art — in rooms that are filled with memories and warmth. As a master of what he calls modern maximalism, Mitchell embraces the challenge of taking wonderful things that a homeowner already has and making more of them. Once Mitchell has established a connecting thread among a variety of disparate pieces — whether through finish, material, scale, color, texture, or line — he starts the process of building the relationships that bring a space to life.

Brilliant photographs take readers on in-depth tours of nine homes, ranging from an elegant Upper East Side pied-à-terre to a classic cottage on the water in Nova Scotia. Mitchell’s personal narrative in elegant text enlightens, while his takeaways accompanying each home help readers understand how to blend new and old, mix colors and patterns, and fill a home with an eclectic mix that is truly their own.

The last decade has witnessed major changes in the design of higher education institutions, keeping pace with the demands of broadening curricula, changing student expectations and the increasing importance of technology on campuses. New pathways forged in scientific research present a particularly exciting challenge to architects, who have responded with unprecedented and inventive laboratories and workspaces. Furthermore, the widespread introduction of additional departments and courses demands a corresponding growing diversity in the buildings in which they are housed. The resulting flood of new publications to be stored and accessed has led to the emergence of numerous new libraries.

Projects from around the globe are showcased in this volume, representing functional and stylistic diversity across this exciting and increasingly international field. These campuses set themselves apart as pioneering and inspirational, both architecturally and for those who live, work and study in them.

This memo-game is based on a very special concept: the colors follow the format used in Johannes Itten’s color theory: red for a square, blue for a circle, yellow for a triangle, orange for a trapezium, green for a spherical triangle, and purple for an ellipse. The colors are shown with the corresponding form, which increases their specific impression.

Furthermore, each color is present in six different nuances; this increases the perception of the color tones and supports the creative process of finding new names to specify the individual forms. As the cards are turned over new color contrasts are revealed; these can also be used to intensify knowledge of color theory. Thus, these cards must not just be used for playing the memo-game, they can also be used for inspiration and for experimenting with different color combinations, series and tones.

As far back as the earliest Greek temples, color has been an integral part of architecture but also one of its least understood elements.

Color theory is rarely taught in architecture schools, leaving architects to puzzle out the hows and whys of which colors to select and how they interact, complement, or clash. Color for Architects is profusely illustrated and provides a clear, concise primer on color for designers of every kind.

This latest volume in our Architecture Briefs series combines the theoretical and practical, providing the basics on which to build a fuller mastery of this essential component of design. A wealth of built examples, exercises, and activities allows students to apply their learning of color to real-world situations.

Color plays a significant role in design. It can make a design work more impressive, appealing and distinctive. For designer, it means the basic skill in combing colors.

This book includes basic color theories that help readers gain a better understanding of color. It also delves into the psychology of color, along with color associations and applications in commercial designs. Featuring referential color schemes and creative projects with color codes as well as color talk, this is an essential manual of great practicality and inspiration.
