Adding. Extending. Transforming. Upgrade breathes new life in forgotten architecture

Upgrade explores architectural and design concepts that seek to enhance and repurpose our surroundings. From slight changes to complete renovations, the spectrum of possibilities is vast. Extensions upon a rooftop. Factories turned into relaxing retreats. Wood additions contrast with antique brick exteriors. Through engaging anecdotes and inspiriting images, Upgrade provides vibrant exemplars and enthusiasm for revamping existing spaces.

Repurposing the unused; a dilapidated barn, a raddled townhome, a historical and fading building façade – these can all be starting points for stunning and inspiring homes. Upgrade displays transformations: be it sheds into playrooms, a garage to a guesthouse, or an alpine hut into a holiday getaway. Hidden in the walls of old structures are possibilities and inspirations that can be realized with any budget; charm and character become the criteria for titivating a residence.

Upgrade offers projects that succeed in finding the balance between the traditional and the modern. Architects share their experiences, motivations, and approaches. Before-and-after photos illustrate the metamorphoses. This is a volume for all who desire a new perspective, for those that prefer to preserve rather than to demolish. What are ruins to some become another’s architectural playground.

Найкраще у вертикальній архітектурі від неймовірно струнких будинків на вузьких ділянках до мистецтва просторого дизайну в компактних заповненнях

Епоха переїзду в передмістя добігає кінця. Натомість зростає рух міських жителів, які шукають грандіозних архітектурних рішень у найменших просторах. Стрункі, стрункі та високі споруди височіють на обмеженій території, пропонуючи інноваційні рішення для світу з постійно зростаючою урбанізацією.

Vertical Living – це знайомство з ідеями архітектури та інтер’єру, які використовують майстерний, розумний дизайн, щоб підкорити компактне життя, де є простір. Оскільки ми продовжуємо очікувати більше наших квартир і будинків, для майбутнього наших міських просторів необхідні несподівані підходи.

Цей том розповідає про багатовікову історію Вілли Бальбіано, чудового архітектурного шедевра, ретельно відреставрованого Жаком Гарсією.

Зі свого видного розташування на озері Комо, Вілла Бальбіано випромінює величний шарм, що символізує найвеличніший розділ в історії великих вілл цього ідилічного італійського регіону. Кожен наступний власник привносив у віллу нову пишноту через добудови, нові фрески та статуї, а також дедалі більші та розкішні сади. Історія вілли досягла свого апогею наприкінці вісімнадцятого століття, коли освічений кардинал Анджело Марія Дуріні, як господар будинку, перетворив Віллу Бальбіано на тигель філософії та мистецтва, обрамлений архетипними римськими лініями вілли.

Сьогодні шановний архітектор інтер'єрів Жак Гарсія провів кропітку реставраційну роботу, яка поєднує вражаючий масив дорогоцінних матеріалів та колекцію картин світового класу та антикварних меблів на тлі оригінального дизайну, який був прихований протягом століть. Чудова нова реставрація відкриває новий сезон у житті вілли в одному з найгламурніших місць світу.

____________

Розташована в тіні Альп в Озерному краї Італії, Вілла Бальбіано завжди була абсолютним ідеалом вишуканого життя.

Цей романтичний архітектурний шедевр шістнадцятого століття розташований на озері Комо, одному з найгламурніших місць світу та місці культури та насолоди протягом понад двох тисяч років. Після виняткового реставраційного проекту під керівництвом всесвітньо відомого декоратора Жака Гарсії, Вілла Бальбіано та її сади стали яскравішими, ніж будь-коли.

A stunning collection of photographs celebrating the excellence of the Italian Renaissance period through palaces and gardens built between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.

The book illustrates nine locations of extraordinary artistic and architectural interest, conceived by prominent Italian families and dynasties as urban villas or country houses centered around the pursuit of entertainment and leisure. These lavishly decorated and frescoed palaces are adorned with handcrafted furniture and works of art and surrounded by gardens that retain their original layout to this day -- a very rare feature.

An historical text introduces each property, giving an overview of its origins. The villas have been specially photographed for this book by Dario Fusaro, with views of both the palace interiors and their grounds, as well as the gardens, glimpses of the halls, details of the furnishings, and a focus on the frescoes, where still preserved. Explanatory text offers insights on the most interesting frescoes, such as those of Veronese at Villa Barbaro. For the first time, Fusaro also employs a drone with the purpose of capturing the architectural structure and elements of each Italian Renaissance garden, from above and as a whole.

This all-access volume is essential for fans and readers interested in Italian art, for those who love to travel through Italy in search of places of artistic interest, and for those seeking out green tourist destinations.

A celebration of Britain's diverse housing styles throughout the twentieth century and beyond.

This illuminating book is a fascinating insight into Britain’s built heritage and the diverse housing styles of the twentieth century. Redesigned and updated in a brand-new edition, it showcases 100 houses, from throughout the 20th century and stretching into the 21st, that represent the range of architectural styles throughout the years and show how housing has adapted to suit urban life. Each house is accompanied by stunning photography and texts written by leading architectural critics and design historians, including Gavin Stamp, Elain Harwood, Barnabas Calder, Alan Powers and Gillian Darley.

From specially commissioned architect-designed houses for private individuals to housing built for increased workforces, each of the 100 houses brings a different design style or historical story. There are houses built as part of garden cities, semi-detached suburban dwellings, housing estates, eco-houses, almshouses, converted factories and affordable post-war homes. Architectural styles encompass mock Tudor, modernist, Arts and Crafts and brutalism, and featured architects include Giles Gilbert Scott, Walter Gropius, Edwin Lutyens, Powell and Moya and David Chipperfield.

The book also contains essays that explore the social and political aspects of housing design in Britain over the last 100 years, looking at the impact the world wars had on housing, exploring domestic technology and building materials and discovering how the modern house came about. This compelling book gives a glimpse into the wonderful housing Britain has to offer and is a must-have for all fans of design history and architecture.

Захоплива історія відродження стародавнього італійського замку та його незмінного способу життя.

Коли Шарлотта Гортон та її родина британської богеми виявили покинутий тосканський замок, вони й гадки не мали, що перетворять його на яскраве, сучасне місце. Розташований на пересіченій місцевості гори Аміата, замок Потентіно був напівзруйнованим: дахи обвалилися, не було ні водопроводу, ні електрики. Після виснажливого процесу придбання його у 24 різних власників вони взялися за реставрацію споруди XI століття.

У цій захопливій розповіді про перетворення замку на сучасну оду італійським традиціям фотографії покійного британського модного фотографа Майкла Вуллі демонструють власність, а текст Шарлотти занурюється в реставрацію та життя в Потентіно. Від вражаючого склепінчастого вхідного холу до зоряного стельового фрески, інтер'єри обов'язково порадують. Читачі також дізнаються про технічні деталі, такі як переробка матеріалів, фарбування та бюрократична документація. Розділ, присвячений землі — разом із виноградником та оливковими гаями — демонструє філософію самодостатності Шарлотти. Ця книга обов'язкова для тих, хто цікавиться італійською архітектурою та тосканським способом життя, або для тих, хто мріє відновити замок у Тоскані.

Readers will respond to the warm and sophisticated work of Hugh and Simon Jacobsen, whose style of architecture and interiors might best be described as American modern vernacular — the place where traditional comfort and modern design meet.

Hugh Newell Jacobsen, the legendary architect and late co-founder with his son, Simon, of Jacobsen Architecture, once said “the best house is polite to her neighbors and never shouts.” This statement is a key to the philosophy of the firm, whose houses are suffused with a kind of quiet sophistication that mingle elegant, subtle modernism, with respect for local vernacular traditions. Low-key on the outside, on the inside these houses offer dancing symphonies in white. Unmarked by moldings, walls and ceilings express simple volumetric forms composed of solid planes and voids, while, upon floors of burnished wood or travertine, furniture, much of it designed by the firm, allows for serene repose and practical, unfussy use. Featured here are exemplars of the firm, from Harbor Hill — a cluster of 12 small structures, appearing at first as a group of smallish shingled Nantucket cottages, that reveals itself as a single serene residence overlooking Nantucket Harbor — to Windsor, a Florida Colonial abstraction in Vero Beach. Featuring inviting interiors, exteriors, and gardens, the book is an expression of eloquent design.

About the Authors:

Simon Jacobsen is a founding partner of Jacobsen Architecture. The recipient of many prestigious awards in architecture and design, he is an inductee of Architectural Digest’s AD100. 

Paul Goldberger is contributing editor at Vanity Fair, former architecture critic for The New Yorker, and holds the Joseph Urban Chair in Design and Architecture at The New School. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Distinguished Criticism in 1984 for his work with the New York Times.
