Die Avantgarde-Architektur der 20er Jahre wird heute fast ausschließlich mit dem Bauhaus oder Le Corbusier assoziiert. »Neues Bauen«, für konservative Zeitgenossen seinerzeit ein Schimpfwort, in seiner deutschen Sprachfassung jedoch bald international ein Begriff, beschränkte sich aber keineswegs nur auf die westlichen Metropolen. Nach der Oktoberrevolution von 1917 begann sich das junge sowjetische Rußland zu formieren und auch nach außen als radikal neu darzustellen. Neu waren schließlich auch die Bauaufgaben: Gewerkschaftshäuser und Arbeiterclubs, Kraftwerke und Fabriken, kollektive Wohnanlagen und Sanatorien für die Werktätigen, staatliche Großkaufhäuser, Partei- und Verwaltungsbauten, ein Mausoleum für Lenin… Nicht nur in Moskau und St. Petersburg, auch im fernen Baku (Aserbaidschan), in Sochi am Schwarzen Meer oder im ukrainischen Charkow hielt die Moderne Einzug mit Bauten aus Glas, Stahl und Beton. Utopie, Bauhaus-Ästhetik und russischer Konstruktivismus fanden sich hier in einem auch quantitativ einzigartigen Experiment, das damals weltweit Aufsehen erregte: Avantgarde pur. Wie in Deutschland endete dieses innovative Abenteuer Anfang der 30er Jahre, als die politische und akademische Reaktion die Führung in der Partei übernahm. Die Auflösung der UdSSR 1991 gab den letzten Zeugen dieses so kurzlebigen Aufbruchs in die Moderne schließlich den Rest. Bis auf wenige prominente Ausnahmen erst verunstaltet, dann vergessen und verwahrlost, wurde ein Viertel der noch existierenden Bauten in den letzten Jahren Opfer der Spekulation. Das Buch dokumentiert die Relikte dieser »verlorenen Avantgarde« in ebenso beeindruckenden wie ernüchternden Photographien, die der renommierte britische Architekturphotograph Richard Pare auf mehreren Reisen durch die ehemaligen Sowjetrepubliken in den 90er Jahren aufgenommen hat.

The elements of Neo-classical style are the elements that reflect Neo-classism in modern living space. It could be as big as a solid Roman column, and as small as a beautifully carved artefact. These decorative substances can evoke imagination, cast visual impact, and reach the very inner part of the audience. They are not necessarily ‘vintage’, but they do convey the preciseness, solemnity, and luxury of Neo-classism. Neo-classical elements present strict geometric patterns and are more or less hand carved, bringing the ambiance of solemn elegance and the ‘human’ factor into the interior. Therefore, Neoclassical style is given more consideration in today’s interior decorating industry.

Far-flung cultures have always been a source of inspiration for the exploration-minded Old Continent. Charmed by the exoticism of those distant styles, furniture designs and objets d"art, this decorative trend still exists today. Africa, Indonesia, Morocco, China, India and South America are lands that inspire the projects included in this book. Raffia rugs, natural fibre ornaments, leathers, hand-sewn baskets, Totem figures... just some of the objects that give personality to these projects.

Francesco Coppola has always been an architect with wide-ranging interests: from architecture to communication, graphic arts and design. His interdisciplinary approach has resulted in a diverse body of work that ranges from urban and private architecture to global communication projects for companies. His most recent projects include the M1 Headquarters Tower in Imola, Italy and two urban upgrade projects: La Citta di Toscanella, a residential complex and urban park, and a master plan for the Town of Castel Guelfo in Bologna.

Francesco Coppola: Eclecticism also explores Coppola's work as a design and brand consultant with some of the worlds leading ceramic companies and his wide portfolio of industrial and product design such as furniture, lamps, tiles, mosaics and patented new systems of prefabrication for homes and displays

Based on The Metropolitan Museum’s renowned collection, French Art Deco presents more than eighty masterpieces by forty-two designers.

Art Deco – the term conjures up jewels by Van Cleef & Arpels, glassware by Lalique, furniture by Ruhlmann – is best exemplified in the work shown at the exhibition that gave the style its name: the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, held in Paris in 1925. The exquisite craftsmanship and artistry of the objects displayed spoke to a sophisticated modernity, yet were rooted in past traditions.

Although it quickly spread to other countries, Art Deco found its most coherent expression in France, where a rich cultural heritage was embraced as the impetus for creating something new. The style drew on inspirations as diverse as fashion, avant-garde trends in the fine arts – such as Cubism and Fauvism – and a taste for the exotic, all of which converged in these exceptionally luxurious and innovative objects. While the contemporary practice of Art Deco ended with the Second World War, interest in it has not only endured to the present day but has also grown steadily.

Examples include Süe et Mare’s furniture from the 1925 Exposition; Dufy’s Cubist-inspired textiles; Dunand’s lacquered bedroom suite; Dupas’s monumental glass wall panels from the SS Normandie; and Fouquet’s spectacular dress ornament in the shape of a Chinese mask.

Jared Goss’s engaging text comprises a discussion of each object together with a biography of the designer who created it, and is enlivened by generous quotations from contemporary writings. The extensive introduction provides historical context and explores the origins and aesthetic of Art Deco.

Accompanying the text are sumptuous, atmospheric photographs of the objects themselves, making this not only one of the rare books on French Art Deco in English, but also an objet d’art in its own right.

Jared Goss is an independent scholar and former associate curator in the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Christiane de Nicolay-Mazery, a specialist in furniture and antiques at Christies and Honelon, invites her readers to enter the elegantly luxurious interiors of some of France's most exclusive abodes. From the classic taste of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to the creativity of the nineteenth century, she traces the path to the finesse of the twentieth century, which combines tradition and modernity.

The interiors portrayed in these nine exquisitely illustrated chapters pay tribute to the refinement of French taste, a savoir-faire that has been continually renewed. Classic hotels particuliers in the heart of Paris and romantic chateaux, as well as a surprising isba--a traditional rural log house in the Russian style - are but a few of the examples of the kinds of interiors that will inspire readers as they marvel over the art of French designers, including Madeleine Castaing, Hubert de Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, Jacques Grange, Francois Joseph Graff, and Pierre Berge.

Unlike most books on French style on the market, this book is not only a testimony to timeless French elegance, it is an invitation to discover a synthesis of contemporary and classic decor, in some of France's most exclusive residences, firsthand.

This comprehensive study of Gothic architecture traces the distinctively beautiful elements of Gothic style through the medieval churches of Europe. Gathered from a rare two-volume Victorian classic, over 700 meticulously rendered details and illustrations display every intricate aspect of Western culture's most magnificent ecclesiastical structures, including London's Westminster Abbey Church. The only edition of these antique architectural plates in print, this splendid book is a one-of-a-kind source of authentic Gothic design.

In page after fascinating page, this rich retrospective features the finest examples of medieval masonwork, woodwork, and metalwork dating back to the thirteenth century. Explore the soaring Gothic characteristics of vaulted ceilings, arched windows, flying buttresses, pointed spires, ornamental filials, and decorative panels, plus doorways, moldings, roofing, porches, door hinges, and other elaborate architectural elements.

Filled with fascinating insights into the creation of Gothic-style churches and cathedrals, this sweeping survey also provides lively observations of the medieval period.

Gothic art finds its roots in the powerful architecture of the cathedrals of northern France. It is a medieval art movement that evolved throughout Europe for more than 200 years. Leaving curved Roman forms behind, the architects started using flying buttresses and pointed arches to open cathedrals to daylight. A period of great economic and social change, the gothic era also saw the development of a new iconography celebrating the Holy Mary, in contrast to the fearful iconography of dark Roman times. Full of rich changes in all the different arts (architecture, sculpture, painting, etc.), Gothic art gave way to the Italian Renaissance and International Gothic.

Gothic art originated around 1140 in the Ile-de-France. Initially confined to the cathedrals and the most important abbeys of this region, it was soon regarded as a model for the rest of France and finally for Europe as a whole. This splendidly appointed volume, with nearly 800 color illustrations, describes the development of the Gothic aesthetic in all its diversity, from minutely detailed paintings to the magnificent cathedral of Notre-Dame at Reims. The book traces Gothic architecture from its initial flourishing, while individual essays then follow the formal development of Gothic architecture in England, in the Germanic countries, and in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and the rest of northern and eastern Europe. The text also describes late Gothic architecture in France and the Netherlands, with contributions on stained glass and gold work, and individual studies devoted to such themes as the Cathar heresy, the Papal Palace in Avignon, urban development, and technical knowledge.

Featuring breathtaking photographs of some of Scotland’s most remarkable and little-known houses, this book tells the story of how incomers adopted the North of Scotland as a recreational paradise and left an astonishing legacy of architecture and decoration inspired by the romanticized image of the Highlands.  Known as shooting lodges because they were designed principally to accommodate the parties of guests that flocked north for the annual sporting season, these houses range from Picturesque cottages ornées and Scotch Baronial castles to Arts and Crafts mansions and modern eco-lodges. While their designs respond to some of Britain’s wildest and most stirring landscapes, inside many were equipped with the latest domestic technology and boasted opulent decoration and furnishings from the smartest London and Parisian firms.  A good number survive little altered in their original state, and some are still owned by descendants of the families that built them.

Images from the famous Country Life Picture Library and specially commissioned photographs evoke the dramatic settings and arresting detail of these houses, making the book as appealing to decorators and architectural historians as it is to travelers and sportsmen.
