A comprehensive monograph of acclaimed design studio Neri&Hu's work

Founded by Lyndon Neri and Rosanna Hu in Shanghai, Neri&Hu is Asia’s leading architecture and design studio. Since 2004, the practice has applied a global design language and sensibility to a broad range of localities in China and across Asia, and increasingly in Western countries. Their international outlook, seen in a critically acclaimed body of work that ranges from furniture design to urban planning, historic restoration projects to gleaming new buildings, has made Neri&Hu one of the most influential and watched architecture firms in the world.

This monograph captures the studio’s work at the height of their powers and with an increasingly diverse portfolio of projects. From the Aranya Art Centre in Hebei to the Suzhou Chapel to the Kimpton Da An Hotel in Taipei, the works presented here – chosen in close collaboration with the architects – reveal a design philosophy that is influenced by Asian traditions but alive to changing conditions, exhibiting an attention to detail that understands the universal importance of human experience in all built environments.

Neri&Hu’s work offers unexpected and intriguing solutions to age-old challenges, refreshed with a 21stcentury mindset, providing a new design humanism against the shifting planes of global culture.

The New Old House presents 18 private historic homes, from North America to Europe, and traces the ingenious ways architects have revitalized and refreshed them for a new generation

Most of the renovations occurred in the last decade, but all of the homes have origins reaching back into the past, in some cases hundreds of years. Projects and firms featured include Greenwich House, Allan Greenberg; Longbranch, Jim Olson; Astley Castle, Witherford Watson Mann; Hunsett Mill, Acme; Cotswolds House, Richard Found; plus more than a dozen others. These projects address such timely factors as sustainability, multiculturalism, preservation, and style, and demonstrate the unique beauty and elegance that comes from the interweaving of modernity and history.

New Paris Style gives a fresh look into the homes of the most exciting creative talents in Paris – individuals from the music, fashion, design, film and art worlds.

The twenty-seven properties photographed exclusively for the book are ranged across the city’s grooviest, on-the-edge arrondissements – from the elevated bohemianism of the Left Bank to the trendy Marais and the edgier Belleville and 13th – and reflect the cosmopolitan melting pot that influences Paris’s design trends.

Homes include those of creative director Jean-Christophe Aumas, interior designers Pierre Yovanovitch and Florence Baudoux, fashion designer Corrado de Biase, jewelry designer Martha Bedoya, antiques dealer Florence Lopez, product designers Ora-Ïto and Victoria Wilmotte, illustrator Jean-Philippe Delhomme and actor and singer Marc Lavoine.

Ця унікальна фотокнига пропонує вражаючі портрети нью-йоркських барів після закриття.

«Фотографії нью-йоркських барів на світанку, зроблені Деніелом Рутом, – це ідеальне поєднання краси та меланхолії. У них усе ідеально». – Роз Част, карикатурист New Yorker.

Майже щодня Деніел Рут вирушає перед сходом сонця блукати вулицями Мангеттена зі своєю камерою. У ці порівняно тихі години все місто має інше обличчя, але Рута особливо захоплюють пейзажі, які можна побачити з вікон його барів. Порожні та освітлені дивним поєднанням штучного світла – неоновою рекламою пива, червоними знаками EXIT, однією лампочкою над касою – вони мають більш тихий та таємничий вигляд, ніж у метушливі вечірні години. Тим не менш, кожен з них – чи то дайв-бар, спорт-бар чи бар-ресторан – все ще передає індивідуальний характер, неповторну індивідуальність.

New York Bars at Dawn представляють близько 200 найпереконливіших барних портретів Рута, починаючи від відомих закладів, таких як Balthazar, McSorley's та Stonewall Inn, і закінчуючи безіменними дайв-барами та постом Американського легіону. Передмова Розі Шаап, авторки книги «П'ючи з чоловіками», показує нам, наскільки багато фотографії Рута розкривають про барну культуру, а післямова історика мистецтва Сюзан Беттгер досліджує їхні естетичні якості. Це буде важлива книга для всіх, хто цікавиться нічним життям, інтер'єрами чи міською фотографією.

Про автора:

Деніел Рут — художній фотограф і керівник дизайнерської фірми The Root Group. Його передсвітанкові фотографії Манхеттена привернули віддану увагу серед барменів та інших працівників нічної зміни, і були представлені на NY1. Рут живе в Нижньому Іст-Сайді та дуже рано встає. Розі Шаап — авторка книг «П'ючи з чоловіками» та «Стати сомельє», а також частий автор New York Times. Сюзан Беттгер — історик мистецтва та критикиня, авторка книги Spiral: The Passions of Robert Smithson.

Дивовижний архів пам'ятних речей Транспортного управління Нью-Йорка пропонує унікальний погляд на минуле міста.

Книга New York City Transit Authority: Objects виникла як фотографічний експеримент. У 2011 році нью-йоркський фотограф Браян Келлі почав документувати колекції використаних MetroCards у своїй бруклінській студії, розташовуючи їх у різні сітки з метою вдосконалення освітлення зображення. Його брат запропонував зробити сітки цікавішими, знайшовши інші типи карток. Вичерпавши пошуки викинутих MetroCards на багатьох із 472 станцій метро міста, Келлі звернувся до eBay за новими знахідками.

Онлайн-кроляча нора дала йому прискорений курс з історії транспорту Нью-Йорка. Він виявив жетони, що датуються 1860 роком, корінець квитка 1885 року, коли проїзд поїздом через Бруклінський міст коштував три центи, а також латки, сірникові коробки, жетони, розклади руху, значки та знаки, опублікувавши свої фотографії цих знахідок у Tumblr та Instagram. Шість років потому багато співробітників MTA слідкують за його проєктом та підтримують його, іноді звертаючись до нього з інформацією та порадами щодо рідкісних предметів. У міру зростання колекції Келлі усвідомив, що не існує порівнянних цифрових архівів, які б документували еволюцію транспорту міста.

New York City Transit Authority: Objects містить понад 400 артефактів, пов'язаних з нью-йоркським метро, ​​зібраних та задокументованих фотографом Браяном Келлі.

Келлі почав колекціонувати квитки MTA MetroCards у 2011 році, і його швидко захопили інші об'єкти, пов'язані з метро. Цей каталог є першим у своєму роді — він представляє раніше незібраний архів одноденних документів, починаючи з 1850-х років.

A striking visual homage of New York by leading interiors photographer Simon Upton

Foreword by Rupert Thomas

In his first book, renowned interiors photographer Simon Upton turns his camera on one of his most-loved destinations in this personal exploration of fashionable homes in New York City. Urbane and characterful, New York Interiors unveils the photographer’s favorite interior projects from the city, among them the homes of Aerin Lauder, Hamish Bowles, Stephen Sills, Michael S. Smith, Steven Gambrel, and Cynthia Frank, intertwined with atmospheric images of the metropolis and its most stylish residents.

Presented in two halves—City and Getaway—the book showcases city living from uptown to downtown, as well as the chic retreats of the Hamptons and other exclusive weekend destinations where New Yorkers head to relax.

Residences featured here show New York living of the moment: homes that defy traditional definition but which are nevertheless rooted in the historic ground of the city.

What does a home look like in twenty-first-century New York? While the city’s name alone brings to mind very specific ideas — the Fifth Avenue penthouse, with its elegant moldings and crystal chandeliers; the SoHo loft, with its bright spaces and air of bohemian ease; the Brooklyn brownstone, with its fireplaces, parquet floors, and lush backyards—the truth is, New York today is much more than this, and the potential for variety in ways of living is, now more than ever, virtually limitless. As a result, in the twenty-first century, the combined design professions enjoy an unprecedented menu of prospective solutions, whether based upon respect for a classically inflected New York past, an emphatic denial of such a tradition, or, most often, some hybrid response that often yields the best innovation possible.

New York Living celebrates this vast potential while exploring contemporary apartments and town houses throughout the city, ranging beyond Manhattan into the outer boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx, and back to the center, Manhattan, which continues to climb ever higher in its reach toward the sky.

About the Authors:

Paul Gunther is the executive director of the Gracie Mansion Conservancy, former president of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art, and former vice president of institutional advancement and director of development at the New-York Historical Society. Gay Giordano is a writer based in New York.

Design authority Wendy Moonan takes the reader on a tour of some of New York City's finest residential rooms -- past and present.

The selection of interiors is about the "wow" factor -- New York residential spaces that elicit gasps of pleasure and surprise when first seen. Some are very grand, others sparingly modern or eclectic. All are exceptional and, Moonan promises, unforgettable. Groundbreaking rooms include Brooke Astor's elegant library by Albert Hadley; Gloria Vanderbilt's sublime patchwork bedroom; Donald Judd's dramatically spare art-filled loft; Adolfo's opulent and magnificently red entrance hall; a Peter Marino-designed penthouse with sweeping midtown views; and Jamie Drake's stunning dining room for the mayor's residence, Gracie Mansion. Other illustrious interior designers and architects represented in the book include Mario Buatta, Robert Couturier, Albert Hadley, Denning & Fourcade, Mark Hampton, Philip Johnson, Charlotte Moss, Thomas O'Brien, Paul Rudolph, Bunny Williams, and Steven Gambrel.

New York is the epicenter of interior-design innovations. Residents embrace myriad styles -- from pure period historicism to bracing modernity. Moonan investigates the city's best residential spaces and presents them here, a book for the libraries of design lovers and professionals in the field.
