Архітектура

Розкішний палац задоволення для відпочинку та розваг, Палаццо Те – шедевр художника епохи Відродження, дизайнера та архітектора Джуліо Романо, найдосвідченішого та найулюбленішого з усіх учнів Рафаеля.

Побудований для Федеріко II Гонзаги, герцога Мантуанського, між 1525 і 1536 роками, інтер'єри Палаццо прикрашені вражаючими фресками на теми з античних міфів. Вони зображують багатообразні сцени та обманливі фантазії, зображують богів та героїв, вигадані мармурові статуї та портрети улюблених чистокровних коней герцога.

Від еротичних сцен Кімнати Псіхеї до знаменитої Кімнати Велетнів, заснованої на перемозі титанів богами Олімпу, ідеал Високого Відродження класичної гармонії та балансу замінюється захопливими ілюзіоністичними техніками, із зображеннями велетнів, падіння кладки та блискавок богів, що наповнюють уяву відвідувача.

Уго Баццотті проводить читача залами, внутрішніми дворами та садами, що складають цей вишуканий шедевр маньєристичного декору, пояснюючи його історію, винахідливість і універсальність його творця.

Explore the pleasures of life in the homes and gardens of the legendary tropical island of Palm Beach

From charming bungalows to sleek minimalist houses and apartments to restorations of iconic Mediterranean Revival residences to a garden dotted with oversized insect sculptures, the homes showcased in Palm Beach Living are as distinctive as they are representative of the ever-evolving design trends on the nation’s most exclusive barrier island. Some of the homes incorporate the exuberant colors of the island’s flora; others opt for a soothing, more neutral palette to contrast with the surrounding landscape. All embrace indoor-outdoor living, and each reflects the unique aesthetic of the owner, realized with the help of renowned architects, superb landscape designers, and such world-class interior designers as Tom Scheerer, Peter Marino, Mark D. Sikes and Meg Braff. Guided by native Palm Beacher Jennifer Ash Rudick, with photographs by Nick Mele, "a modern-day Slim Aarons," readers are granted an intimate look at the best in tropical living.

About the Authors:

Jennifer Ash Rudick is an award-winning American interiors and architectural photographer. Her work appears in Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, Milieu, Coastal Living, Galerie, and House & Home. Her books include Beachside- Windsor Architecture and Design. She divides her time between Kilmovee, Ireland & Palm Beach, Florida, USA.

Nick Mele is a lifestyle, fashion, commercial, and interiors photographer who Veranda magazine called “a modern-day Slim Aarons.” He is the photographer of A Newport Summer and his work has been featured in many print and online publications, including Town & Country, the New York Times, Avenue, Quest, Architectural Digest, Vogue, and Vanity Fair. Among his commercial clients are Ralph Lauren, Sam Edelman, J. McLaughlin, and Lilly Pulitzer. He divides his time between Newport, Rhode Island, in summer and Palm Beach in winter.

Palm Beach style is the expression of elegance and romance everywhere evident in this paradise and epitomized in the lives and work of architect John Volk and artist-preservationist Jane Volk.

Together they conjured up much of the magic that now makes the place. The book explores this unique chemistry and the dazzling homes that are the result.

John Volk was one of the “big five” architects of Palm Beach. It was here, during his sixty years of practice, that he was commissioned to design over 2,000 projects, among them the Royal Poinciana Plaza as well as additions and renovations to the Everglades Club. This book is about the Volks, and the part they played in conjuring the spell with which Palm Beach continues to enchant.

Palm Beach, among other things, is its architecture. Red tile roofs and cast stone columns hint of the Mediterranean. Evidence of inspirations from Spain and Morocco abound. After the economic collapse of 1929, the classical architectural orders began to appear on columns and porticos. The Bermuda style and Modernism made an appearance later. Yet there is no one style exclusively associated Volk; here he perfected many styles and his architectural legacy can be found on almost every street.

While this book honors John Volk’s architecture and his enormous impact, it also celebrates Jane Volk’s contribution to Palm Beach and her devotion to protecting the town and its historic character.

This classic volume, now available at a lower price, showcases jet-set homes designed by the likes of Neutra, Frey, Lautner, and others. Palm Springs is famous as a mecca for the international jet set. But the city has also attracted its share of eccentrics and mavericks who have left an architectural legacy that remains unsurpassed for its originality and international influence. This book examines the impact that architects and designers have had on the desert oasis, primarily from the 1940s to the 1960s. Palm Springs Modern features examples of midcentury modernism at its most glamorous, some of them the residences of prominent figures who commissioned weekend getaways in the desert, including Frank Sinatra, Walter Annenberg, and Raymond Loewy. Adéle Cygelman’s insightful text, a foreword by architectural historian Joseph Rosa, contemporary color photography by David Glomb, and the celebrated archival black-and-white work of Julius Shulman all capture the distinctly modern allure of America’s famed desert playground.

About the Authors:

Adéle Cygelman worked as an editor at Architectural Digest for twelve years. Joseph Rosa is the director of the University of Michigan Museum of Art. David Glomb’s photography has appeared in House & Garden, Architectural Digest, and House Beautiful, among other publications.

Paying homage to the seminal mid-century modern architecture of Palm Springs, this luxurious book showcases historic jet-set homes designed by legendary talents such as Richard Neutra, Albert Frey, and Paul Williams, as well as private residences by today’s leading tastemakers.

Since Gary Cooper built one of the first modernist houses in Palm Springs in the 1930s, this desert oasis has entranced Hollywood. A mecca for the international jet set that lured Frank Sinatra, Walter Annenberg, and others, Palm Springs came into its own architecturally as a haven for visionary modernists such as Richard Neutra, who were practicing the International Style in Los Angeles. The architectural legacy remains unsurpassed for its originality and influence, and recently many of the city’s modernist residential treasures have been restored.

In original new photography, Palm Springs captures the allure of this famed modernist destination. The book profiles outstanding examples such as the Annenberg Estate, the Ford House, and the Kaufmann House, shown in their splendor, as well as today’s restorations by top interior designers such as Martyn Lawrence Bullard and fashion designer Trina Turk. A resource section provides modernist furnishing stores and other points of interest.

About the Authors:

Architecture and design photographer Tim Street-Porter has authored and photographed many books, including L.A. Modern. He is a contributor to lifestyle and design magazines. Fashion and housewares designer Trina Turk has a modernist getaway, “Ship of the Desert,” in Palm Springs.

Patina style imbues Giannetti client homes in a variety of architectural styles.

Steve Giannetti's architectural designs springboard from his image of ultimate beauty -- a place where modern, classical and industrial elements merge to create a unique style with a modern sense of space and emotion drawn from history. His materials palette consists of wood, metal, and stone. His color palette is a chalky patina. Twelve varied homes -- ranging from a modern desert glass box and a beachfront contemporary to a historic East Coast farmhouse and a Provencal-style home in California -- show how Steve has used these themes to solve unique architectural challenges. Steve has collaborated with his wife, Brooke, as well as other designers on the various interiors.

About the Authors:

Steve Giannetti is an architect and Brooke Giannetti is a designer. They are the owners of Giannetti Home, a full-service architecture, interior, and landscape design firm as well as a home furnishings, clothing, and antiques store. Their work has been featured in numerous national magazines, newspapers and books, including Veranda, Luxe, Millieu, Country Home, and the New York Times.

Over a career spanning six decades, architect Paul Revere Williams came to define what gracious living looked like for the Hollywood elite. Williams mastered an array of architectural idioms — including American Colonial, Spanish Mediterranean, English Tudor, French Normandy, Art Deco, and, of course, the California ranch style — to create the sophisticated yet understated showplaces that are featured here in all new full-color photography.

Among the most celebrated architects of his generation, Williams was also the first African-American member of the American Institute of Architects, and he was deeply involved in the black community in Los Angeles and in African-American affairs nationally. Williams moved among many worlds, and with celebrity clients such as Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, Tyrone Power, and Barbara Stanwyck, as well as clients who made Hollywood run behind the scenes, not to mention members of Los Angeles high society, Williams left his mark in the city’s most glamorous and exclusive enclaves — Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Bel Air, and the Hollywood Hills.

Paul R. Williams: Classic Hollywood Style is a dazzling tour of this prolific architect’s most spectacular houses, by his granddaughter Karen Hudson, with a special focus on their roles not only as places for high living but also as venues for world-class entertaining.

About the Author:

Karen E. Hudson is Paul Williams’ granddaughter, an owner of one of his homes, and the author of Paul R. Williams Architect. A third-generation Angeleno, she chronicles the African-American experience in Los Angeles in writings and photographs.
