The first exploration of the two decorators who worked closely with Christian Dior and translated the spirit of the New Look into interior design

Dior and His Decorators is the first work on the two interior designers most closely associated with Christian Dior. Like the unabashedly luxurious fashions of Dior’s New Look, which debuted in 1947, the interior designs of Victor Grandpierre and Georges Geffroy infused a war-weary world with a sumptuous new aesthetic — a melding of the refined traditions of the past with a wholly modern sense of elegance. Author Maureen Footer recounts the lives and work of this influential trio, illustrated with a trove of evocative vintage photographs. Grandpierre designed Dior’s first couture house, creating not only the elegantly restrained look of the salons but also the template for the Dior brand, including typeface, logo, and packaging. Both Grandpierre and Geffroy (who worked independently) designed the interior of Dior’s townhouse. After the couturier’s untimely death in 1957, Grandpierre and Geffroy went on to design salons for other couturiers, as well as homes for the likes of Yves Saint Laurent, Marcel Rochas, Gloria Guinness, Daisy Fellowes, and Maria Callas.

The first book by AD 100 designer Emily Summers, featuring interiors that celebrate a new idea of American modernism.

Weaving mid-century Continental furniture and modern art by the likes of Frank Stella and Jasper Johns into important American homes, Summers has created a vast collection of cohesive, covetable interiors notable for their streamlined beauty. From a contemporary city penthouse to a 1940s ranch, from Summers' Round House, to her 60s Palm Springs getaway, the homes featured range in period and style, but all will serve as inspiration to readers looking to decorate in a Modernist tradition. Summers shares her building blocks of a great modernist house: how the interior should reflect its setting; how to combine fine art with design; why the interior and architecture must be linked; how to build collections; how to modernize traditional houses; and how to restore existing modernist houses. This is essential reading for fans of modernism and minimalism.

Inspiring Role Models for a Younger Generation of Women Architects

Making women in architecture visible — that is the goal of Diversity in Architecture e. V. (DIVIA). Celebrating its debut in 2023, its international award for women architects and urban planners aims to help achieve this goal. Following the announcement of 27 nominees, selected by an international Advisory Board with experts form the six continents, a high-profile jury has chosen the five finalists: May al-Ibrashy, Marta Maccaglia, Noella Nibakuze, Katherine Clarke & Liza Fior and Tosin Oshinowo. Each of them is a pioneer in her field and an embodiment of DIVIA’s philosophy, inspired by trailblazing architect Lina Bo Bardi that “architecture is a social discipline.” This catalogue retraces their paths and portrays their work. In conversation with them we learn about what drives them, the obstacles they have face(d) along the way, and the opportunities that lie in female leadership. This publication is a tribute to their cultural engagement, ethics, and deep sense of community — it is a recognition of their efforts to create environments that positively affect others and celebrates them as role models for the next generation of female architects.

DIVIA — Diversity in Architecture e. V. was founded by Ursula Schwitalla and Christiane Fath in 2021. The platform’s aim is to increase the visibility of women in architecture and urban planning and to promote equality.

В останні роки перспективні види вийшли на перший план у сфері ландшафтної архітектури. Вони стали візитівкою будь-якого нового дизайн-проекту, часто затьмарюючи план як головний графічний посередник ідей. Перспективи передають сплановані простори на відміну від будь-яких інших ортографічних архітектурних проекцій, легко поєднуючись із способами бачення та сприйняття людини. Проте ми настільки звикли бачити їх, що більше не вивчаємо їхні основні повідомлення.

У цьому посібнику розглядається історія цих багатогранних зображень та їхня сила формувати наші очікування та мислення. Рухаючись хронологічно від епохи Відродження до наших днів, книга описує їх еволюцію та розбирає мотиви, що стоять за їх створенням. Він також містить чіткі практичні вказівки щодо створення переконливих зображень для різноманітної аудиторії.

У цій книзі наведено численні історичні та сучасні приклади, які підкреслюють незмінну важливість перспективи в професійній практиці.

Основні тематичні напрямки включають:
_ Вступ до термінології: основи та принципи
_Побудова та складання ракурсів
_Передача повідомлень: ландшафт як середовище для ідей
_ Незмінні теми краси, піднесеного та трепету
_Майбутнє перспективних поглядів

Комплексний вступ до поєднання традиційних технік малювання з автоматизованим проектуванням

У той час як малювання від руки повертається на курси дизайну в усьому світі, ця вітальна публікація відзначає найкращі аспекти традиційних технік, включаючи їх у сучасні методи цифрового дизайну. Він знову розповідає про важливість навчитися «бачити вручну», візуалізувати великомасштабні схеми проектування та пояснювати їх за допомогою малюнків перед використанням цифрових інструментів, які є настільки важливими для ефективних та економічно ефективних будівельних рішень.

Поєднуючи традиційні методи креслення з технікою візуалізації CAD, Drawing for Landscape Architecture веде практиків від першого враження про ділянку, через концепцію та схематичний дизайн і презентацію для клієнта до будівництва та креслень сайту, до двох прикладів, які показують кінцевий результат. Це нове розширене видання містить нову главу про зв’язок між ландшафтним дизайном та архітектурою, а також добірку оновлених творів мистецтва.

Список вмісту:

1. Поглинання ландшафту • 2. Малюнок на місці • 3. Ідеї для малювання • 4. Креслення плану, фасаду та розрізу • 5. Ізометричні малюнки • 6. Перспективи • 7. Креслення грошей • 8. Креслення деталей будівництва • 9. Виконана робота: практичні приклади
