Frank Lloyd Wright is not only synonymous with architecture, his name is also synonymous with the American house in the twentieth century. In particular, his residential work has been the subject of continuing interest and controversy.

Wright's Fallingwater (1935), the seminal masterpiece perched over a waterfall deep in the Pennsylvania highlands, is perhaps the best-known private house in the history of the world. In fact, Wright's houses-from his Prairie-style Robie House (1906) in Chicago, to the Storer (1923) and Freeman (1923) houses in Los Angeles, and Taliesen West (1937) in the Arizona desert-are all touchstones of modern architecture.

For the first time, all 289 extant houses are shown here in exquisite colour photographs. Along with Weintraub's stunning photos and a selection of floor plans and archival images, the book includes text and essays by several leading Wright scholars.

Frank Lloyd Wright: The Houses is an event of great importance and a major contribution to the literature on this titan of modern architecture.

An invitation into the evocative, human-scaled, and artful interiors designed by Wright.

Frank Lloyd Wright: The Rooms presents the warm interior spaces and exceptional design work of this beloved American master. Wright was an early proponent of "total design." Unsatisfied with what was available in designing a given space or home, he invented what was needed, developing a language of architectural detail and styling that is unique and which extended to the tables, bookcases, easy chairs, sofas, and cabinets; to rugs and murals; to stonework; to stained glass "light screens," which served as windows, doors, and room partitions; and lighting. This approach was manifested distinctly in each of his residential projects. This book offers the reader an immersion into this work by means of extraordinary artful detail in intimately explored rooms and spaces. From the Oak Park Home and Studio in Illinois to the majestically appointed Darwin D. Martin House with its abundance of art glass, including Wright’s famous "Tree of Life" and "Wisteria" designs, this luxurious volume ranges over the whole of Wright’s oeuvre. It highlights a number of Wright masterpieces, including Hollyhock House, the mysterious Aztec-like home and arts complex built on a hill in Los Angeles; the Dana House, with its luminous "butterfly" transom glass; and the fabled living room at Fallingwater.

An in-depth look inside Olana, one of America's greatest estates, which was designed and built by Frederic Church, the most renowned of the Hudson River School painters.

Frederic Church, the leader of the much-loved group of artists known as the Hudson River School, made his name as a painter of monumental landscapes in the mid-1800s, helping to develop our vision of landscape and shaping the cultural identity of America. He applied his artistic talent to the house and property that he named Olana, known today as Olana State Historic Site and located in the heart of the beautiful Hudson River Valley.

The 250-acre naturalistic landscape surrounding the house is a work of art in itself, and the magnificent views beyond Olana were an essential part of Church's composition, which he carefully designed with an artist's eye to the property's 360-degree views of neighboring hills, valleys, the Hudson River, and distant mountains. Church was an observer of the cosmos, and Olana, set in the center of the Hudson River Valley, was his laboratory of observation of all of nature. Spectacular photography by Larry Lederman of Olana, its landscape and house, inside and out, illustrates one of Church's greatest works of art. The images, many taken especially for this book, have been shot in all seasons and all weather, and include panoramic and aerial views, sunsets, detail shots of both the house and landscape, as well as interior views of the house. Essays will delve into Church and his inspirations and motivations, illuminating not only the estate he built but also his work as an artist.

Оновлене видання класики Rizzoli до 200-річчя від дня народження цього видатного американського ландшафтного дизайнера.

Ландшафтний архітектор, містобудівник і творчий геній, який змінив американський ландшафт, Фредерік Ло Олмстед був людиною пристрасного бачення та прагнення. Він визначив професію ландшафтної архітектури та створив найвидатніші ландшафти Америки, багато з яких чудово проілюстровані тут, зокрема Центральний парк Нью-Йорка, Проспект-парк Брукліна, територію Капітолію США та маєток Білтмор. Протягом чудової сорокалітньої кар’єри, яка почалася в середині 1800-х років, Олмстед створив перші великі міські парки та паркові системи в цій країні, а також широко впливові приміські житлові громади. Він був ключовою фігурою в русі за створення мальовничих резервацій і національних парків, таких як Ніагарський водоспад, Йосеміті та Єллоустоун, і він зробив внесок у проектування багатьох академічних містечок, у тому числі Стенфордського університету.

Це оновлене видання класики Ріццолі, присвячене 200-річчю від дня народження цього видатного американського ландшафтного дизайнера, містить всебічне уявлення про людину та його творчість і включає нові фотографії шедеврів Олмстеда, парки Central and Prospect, а також новий вступ і нову заключну главу автора, яка розглядає постійний вплив Олмстеда.

The doors of centuries-old French chateaux are thrown wide open in this sumptuous photographic cross-country tour. Readers will gain entry to a stunning array of stylish private homes within beautiful restored buildings, each one representing very different approaches to décor and preservation.

When she discovered that nearly half of France’s 44,000 heritage sites were chateaux in various states of repair, Catherine Scotto embarked on a journey to find out who, exactly, lived in these medieval fortresses and, more importantly, what they were like on the inside. From Normandy to Provence and everywhere in between the owners of these chateaux — including decorators, antique dealers, artists, and collectors — represent the epitome of French culture and taste. Each chateau is presented in double-page full-color spreads that feature alluring interiors and information about the hosts and their design journeys. There’s something for everyone here — whether it’s homes where simplicity and minimalism reign, rooms as exuberantly busy as a 17th-century tapestry, or interiors transformed by surprising, era-bending feats. Morel’s breathtaking, naturally lit photographs of generous kitchens, cozy drawing rooms, spacious bedrooms, ingeniously imagined bathrooms, and intriguing hallways and stairwells offer endless inspiration, while Scotto’s engaging text gives readers a feel for the kinds of people who take on such a daunting yet satisfying challenge of restoring a historic building.

This new series about the diversity of regional interior design starts with two titles, this one about French interiors. The volume opens the doors to the inner worlds of this country to reflect on the private and the public realms. French Interior Design is showing the similarities as well as the differences between the French regions in terms of the interior styles. The typical is preserved and blended with the contemporary. The book is a compilation of interior inspiration, from classic to contemporary looks.

Homes, pool houses, and gardens in paradise by the great architect Marion Sims Wyeth — progenitor of the fabled Palm Beach style and designer of Doris Duke’s legendary Hawaiian retreat, Shangri La — are featured here in the first in-depth book to consider his most alluring creations.

Beauty and elegance mingle with extravagance in the Palm Beach style of architect Marion Sims Wyeth, a kind of home design that takes the standard fixtures of paradise — palm trees, ebullient fountains, glistening pools and gardens, views of the sea — and mixes them with a dash of the exotic — a Moorish-style balcony or doorway, Venetian archways, fanciful courtyards in the Spanish style, and spiraling staircases in stone and iron.

Featured here are the legendary abodes of Marjorie Merriweather Post and Doris Duke — Mar-a-Lago and Shangri La, respectively — as well as the less well known but equally spectacular Hogarcito and La Claridad, to name but a few. For those unfamiliar with these dream palaces, intimate homes of repose and reflection, for the enjoyment of life and the living of it, the book serves at once as a revelation and an inspiration.

Elegant rusticity meets unpretentious luxury in the work of this award-winning architecture firm.

Howard Backen, principal of the architecture firm Backen, Gillam & Kroeger, is at the center of a popular movement in home design that emphasizes elegant simplicity and embraces the rustic charm of natural materials.

This volume, the first on his work and that of the firm, is an artful exploration of this aesthetic, featuring farmhouses in the Napa Valley, hilltop homes, seaside retreats, and lakeside hideaways. Throughout the work, a sense of intimacy, warmth, and informality pervades. Natural materials, such as wood, stone, and brick, form the foundations, walls, and ceilings of these subtly luxurious spaces, while nature itself plays a considered role that is at once complementary and also intricately conjoined with the work.

Sensitive, alluring, and wonderfully resonant with the suggestion of invitation, the work of Backen, Gillam & Kroeger is both thrilling to the eye and restorative to the soul.

New challenges on a global scale have forced a rethinking about the way homes and communities are designed. Future Homes provides an engaging and in-depth analysis of possible solutions, providing hope for the future. Broadly speaking these challenges came in three ways: environmental, social, and economic. The challenges posed by climate change demand urgent consideration and response. But a change in methodology and the ingenious employment of technological advances offers solutions to these challenges. This book provides important examples of ways to meet the global challenges by using innovative concepts and practices, leading to a transformation of how residences will appear in the years to come.

With sustainability as an overarching strategy for future retooling and design of our homes, it’s worth taking a look at the new challenges we face and the ways they can be approached by stakeholders such as urban planners, architects, designers, builders, and individuals considering building their own home.

Унікальне дослідження тісного зв'язку між мистецтвом та дизайном, що досліджується через історичні та сучасні дизайни тканин Liberty, де авангардне мистецтво впливало на барвисті геометричні колекції протягом понад півстоліття.

Liberty відомий на міжнародному рівні своїми тканинами, особливо квітковими візерунками, але також має довгу історію розробки сміливих геометричних дизайнів. Багато з них були натхненні авангардним мистецтвом початку 20-го століття, зокрема італійськими футуристами – такими художниками, як Джакомо Балла та Умберто Боччоні – та їхніми англійськими сучасниками-вортисти, включаючи Крістофера Невінсона та Едварда Водсвортса.

Напередодні 150-річчя Liberty, шановний кутюр'є та дизайнер інтер'єрів Федеріко Форке створив вражаючу нову лінійку тканин – колекцію FuturLiberty – яка переносить творчу спадщину Liberty у нашу епоху.

Футуристичне та вортистичне мистецтво, що лежить в основі нових дизайнів, досліджують фахівці Естер Коен та Річард Корк, а архівістка Анна Бурума досліджує багату історію авангардного дизайну Liberty. Висвітлюючи процес створення колекції FuturLiberty, це надзвичайно візуальне дослідження також показує, як мистецтво може впливати на дизайн, роблячи його сучасним, актуальним та захопливим.

Бурхливе оспівування зеленого кольору — у природі, мистецтві, інтер'єрах та дизайні.

Зелений колір — як вода: він скрізь, і ми не можемо жити без нього. Зелений — це колір природи та довкілля. Зелений — це життя. Дизайнер інтер'єрів та гуру стилю Карлос Мота так захоплюється зеленим, що присвятив йому цілу книгу. G: Forever Green оспівує колір у всіх його різноманітних проявах: у природі, їжі, моді, ювелірних виробах, мистецтві, інтер'єрах та архітектурі.

Від блискучих візерунків на крилах метелика до пір'я грудей тропічного птаха, від величезного яблука Магрітта до парчевої драпіровки на фоні портрета Гольбейна, від листяної альтанки до листяних шпалер, від селадону до лісового, смарагдового, кислотного, лаймового та келлі — різноманітність вражає. Ілюстрована власними фотографіями Моти, зробленими під час його подорожей світом, а також знімками відомих фотографів, книга G: Forever Green представляє кімнати відомих дизайнерів, серед яких Келлі Вірстлер, Алессандра Бранка, Марк Д. Сайкс, Роберт Кутюр'є, Герт Вур'янс та Нікі Хаслам.

Цей приголомшливий том, чудово виконаний із зеленим металевим краєм, є свідченням сили зеленого кольору заспокоювати, надихати та хвилювати.

Lauded by FT’s How to Spend It as “one of the world’s best antique and vintage furniture stores,” Galerie Half offers a stylish blend of twentieth-century design, European antiques, and eclectic rarities.

A favorite purveyor to the Los Angeles design cognoscenti, Galerie Half is imbued with a sense of timeless imperfection. Pieces from disparate design traditions converge seamlessly in a single room: a bleached Gustavian daybed is flanked by a Roman statue, a Venetian mirror reflects African masks, and a rustic farmhouse table is framed by caned chairs. Galerie Half is talented at constructing such diverse compositions. A vivid hue can create synchronicity between the timeworn patina of a glazed terracotta planter and the softened leather of an Advocat and Press chair by Le Corbusier–Pierre Jeanneret. A monochromatic palette of contrasting textures can ground a room, creating harmony between luxurious and humble materials, or signed and anonymous designs. Similarly, complementary shapes can provide balance — the horizontal stripes on a Finnish floor lamp echo those in Marcel Breuer’s 1932 armchair, and the seductive curve of Carlo Mollino’s Suora lamp mimics that of Rick Owens’s marble stool. The genius of Galerie Half and the celebrity homes that they have appointed lies in this artful curation of individual elements with soul.

The transcendent gallery is a haven for Los Angeles interior designers and star Hollywood clientele, including Ellen DeGeneres, Amanda and Jason Bateman, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham.

A spectacular global survey of the new buildings merging architecture and nature to transform our cities for a sustainable future.

Concrete horizons, urban sprawl, high-density living: never have our cities and their buildings been in greater need of greening. Yet what’s required is more than an occasional vertical garden or living roof. Featuring seventy projects from around the world – some built, some ongoing, some from the future – Garden City looks at the increasingly inventive ways in which architects and designers are incorporating nature into the built environment, transforming the city for the benefit of all.

From office buildings that incorporate urban farms and exchange the CO2 produced by humans for food and oxygen produced by plants, to lightweight systems for growing gardens on vertical surfaces; from ‘tree houses’ the size of city blocks to civic buildings that are ‘plugged into’ existing water-management systems – there are rich and often unexpected ideas for every inquiring designer.

The future of our urban architecture is biologically alert, naturally self-sustaining and alive. Garden City is this future’s first manifesto.
