Книги по дизайну интерьеров

The architecture firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson believes that “the sensuality of place, the emotive qualities of materials, and the ability to give pleasure and insight, to comfort and to transport can produce humane and spirited architecture.” Whether designing corporate headquarters for Pixar Animation Studios, the Software Engineering Institute for Carnegie Mellon University, the new Apple Stores in New York, Chicago, and Tokyo, or the twelve wooded retreats shown in this book, the firm’s architecture is alive to the subtleties of place, man-made or natural, and to the rich possibilities of materials and the means of construction.

The houses in Arcadian Architecture are exquisitely crafted of wood and stone and other natural materials, and are all sited within beautiful wooded, mountainous, or lakeside locales, from New York State to Washington State, and from the woods of Connecticut to the mountains of Montana. One of the highlights of this book is that it publishes, for the first time, the extraordinary, huge, extremely private and secluded, residential complex in Washington State that was built for Bill and Melinda Gates. Each house is presented on at least thirty pages, and is depicted by sumptuous new color photography, richly detailed conceptual sketches, presentation drawings, and construction documents.

About the Author:

Oscar Riera Ojeda is the author of The New American House and Contemporary World Architects, and editor of several other volumes. Peter Bohlin is principal in the firm of Bohlin Cywinski Jackson. James Cutler, formerly with Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, now practices architecture in Washington State. Thomas Fisher is Dean of the College of Architecture at University of Minnesota, and former editor of Progressive Architecture magazine.

In two volumes (Vol. II will appear in September 2010) a few of the most beautiful, recently finished private homes are presented, from across the five continents and selected with a single common factor: the close relationship between architecture and nature.

These are architectural tours de force, situated in the most remove and breathtaking places in the world: in the middle of the desert in Phoenix (Arizona), in the mountains of Sun Valley (Idaho), on Yzerfontein beach (West coast of South Africa), on a magnificent golf course near Port Elizabeth.

Architecton Architectural Bureau, formed by Zusik Alexander Ivanovich and Ekaterina Seregina, has been the recipient of many major international awards.

With a close experience of the construction industry gained from Arksim a former Soviet-Chinese architecture and construction enterprise, the core operations of the practice have been wide and varied: hotels and vacation resorts complexes, commercial and public buildings, restaurants and private houses. Many of these completed projects are presented in this book and provide in the process of an up-to-date account of activities and achievements.

In our modern, high-tech society, traditional craftsmanship has increasingly had to give way to mass production. Synthetic materials have taken over from natural ones, and the world of construction in 2008 appears to revolve around efficiency, standardisation and cost optimisation.

However, a growing number of individuals are reacting against these tendencies by working to create authentic and personal living environments.

This new home-design philosophy has had an impact in many areas: a lot of distinctive old residences, farms, country houses and other homes are undergoing careful restoration; industrially manufactured furniture is being replaced by unique, handmade pieces; and preference is given to natural materials and finishes, rather than mass production.

Within this context, it is easy to see why valuable construction materials and pieces from the past are being reclaimed, restored and reintegrated into properties: these “architectural antiques” ensure that every home can have a unique cachet.

Whether it’s an 18th-century wooden floor, reclaimed Burgundy slabs, authentic handmade roof tiles and slates, antique fireplaces, or other historic features, these construction materials always offer the opportunity for every home project to have an authentic character, as is clearly illustrated by the many inspiring projects featured in this book.

Dealers in antique construction materials also occupy a very important place in these developments, convincingly demonstrating how their unique discoveries, often to be found in a variety of warehouses and showrooms, can be integrated into magnificent homes. The growing professionalism within this sector has in recent years ensured that an increasing number of architects, interior specialists and private individuals have been able to find materials that suit them perfectly within the ever-expanding assortment of architectural antiques.

Bernard De Clerck (1959) is one of the main Belgian architects of his generation. His designs testify to great respect for our rich architectural heritage: both in his new construction projects and his numerous renovations this ambassador for “Flemish Living” argues for a return to the traditional values in a contemporary context in which the comfort of living is central. Traditional craftsmanship, a historical approach, an exciting mix of old and new, a passion for weathered materials and details ... are characteristic for each architectural “story” by Bernard De Clerck.

Flanders is no more than a minuscule dot on the map of the world: a region that can easily be crossed in just a few hours, from the North Sea to the eastern border where Limburg meets the Netherlands and Germany.

Even so, Flanders has a rich architectural tradition and, for centuries, the most beautiful houses have been built here: the aristocratic mansions of Bruges and Ghent, the “maisons de maître” in Brussels, the high points of the Art Nouveau movement, the glorious castles and country houses, the beguinages and presbyteries, the smallholdings and residences of gentlemen-farmers...

Many examples of this architectural inheritance have now been knocked down to make way for more modern buildings. However, there is a growing respect for classic architecture and traditional craftsmanship. Recent years have seen the emergence of a new generation of architects and interior designers who are paying tribute to the rich architectural history and the fascinating mix of cultural influences to which the region of Flanders has always been exposed. Their creations reveal a synthesis of “classic” styles and, at the same time, add a new, contemporary spin: they have a great deal of admiration for the design of English, French and Italian country houses, but also draw inspiration from their Flemish inheritance.

So, the concept of Architecture and Interiors in Flanders represents an eclectic vision of design. In this book, the most striking creations of the leading “ambassadors” for classic architecture and interior design in Flanders are gathered together under one banner.

It is a diverse collection, yet there are many common threads running through it: the love of craftsmanship; the insistence on durable materials; the urge towards understated, elegant design, towards peace and serenity; the aim of realizing harmony with the surroundings, of achieving authenticity and purity of style.

This concept sees architecture, garden design and interior styling as inextricably linked; the disciplines influence each other and are incorporated into a balanced whole.

Refusing to follow the latest trend, these inspired architects and interior designers have created living environments for their clients that will have no trouble withstanding the test of time.

After an amazing abundance of colours and form in the 1960s, high-quality wall covers were increasingly substituted by the ubiquitous woodchip paper. In the meantime, though, wallpaper has evolved into one of the trend topics in materials. Traditional manufacturers are now employing renowned designers to create new patterns which are clearly inspired by current trends or even evolve into trend setters of their own right. This book explores wallpaper designs by individual designers and studios around the world. Patterns and textures are brought to life through a vast array of full-colour illustrations throughout.

Nach der unglaublichen Vielfalt an Farben und Formen in den 60er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde in den letzten Jahrzehnten die hochwertige Wandbekleidung von der allgegenwärtigen Raufaser-Tapete zurückgedrängt. Inzwischen ist Tapete zu einem der Trendthemen bei Materialien geworden. Traditionelle Hersteller engagieren namhafte Designer zur Gestaltung neuer Muster, die sich deutlich an aktuellen Trends orientieren oder gar selbst zu Trendsettern werden.

Les matériaux nous passionnent, nous les rencontrons partout, à chaque pas, nous les touchons, nous les sentons, ils font partie intégrale de notre vie. La série Architecture compact présente des matériaux qui ont leur charme à l'état brut mais qui produisent aussi des créations surprenantes quand ils sont traités et associés à d'autres éléments.

C’est à une étude pratique des escaliers en bois que nous convie Ephrem Longépé, entrepreneur en charpente, compagnon du devoir et Meilleur Ouvrier de France. Il nous livre l’expérience de toute une vie à travers une centaine de cas concrets avec description, plan, commentaires et photos. Pour chaque escalier, l’auteur décrit en détail le mode de construction et résout les problèmes techniques propres à chaque type d’ouvrage, du plus simple au plus complexe.

Ce livre concerne surtout les cas pratiques auxquels se frotte l’artisan dans son travail quotidien : même si l’auteur est capable de tracer les courbes les plus compliquées avec virtuosité, il décrit ici les modèles les plus fréquemment fabriqués de nos jours, généralement plus simples, mariant fréquemment le bois avec d’autres matériaux. 

Après une courte étude de l’escalier et de ses différentes parties, les conditions de réalisation à l’atelier sont décrites en détail. Puis viennent les études de cas concrets, depuis la simple échelle de meunier jusqu’à l’escalier monumental, en passant par les escaliers à l’anglaise, à limon central ou menant à une mezzanine.
Ce livre veut être le compagnon indispensable de l’artisan qui réalise des escaliers, que ce soit de manière exceptionnelle ou régulière. Paru en 1984 et constamment demandé, il a dû être réédité ce qui a permis de rajouter quelques cas concrets supplémentaires parmi les plus récentes réalisations de l’auteur.

Taking readers behind architecture’s facades and finishes, this charmingly illustrated book explores how some of the most important buildings in the world were constructed. Specially commissioned isometric drawings present the essential structural elements of the world’s masterpiece buildings that are not visible to the naked eye. These illustrations are displayed alongside plans, details, and photographs, all of which are clear and accessible, yet accurate and elegant enough to satisfy the most discerning eye.

This fascinating book explores the thinking and expertise behind architects’ designs and offers a means by which to better understand buildings already visited as well as those on the must-see list. Selections range from domestic structures such as Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater and skyscrapers such as the Chrysler Building, to iconic classics such as the Louvre and Barcelona’s famed Sagrada Familia Cathedral. The buildings have been chosen for their importance and interest, their role in the development of architectural thinking, and the structural secrets that intricate 3-D drawings can reveal.

Отрывок.

Aria d’Italia is a Tod’s brand project that represents the Italy of the present and future through the faces and voices of young talents.

Aria d’Italia celebrates the contemporary Italian lifestyle and its values, highlighting talent and passion for quality in every aspect of life, from the culinary world to art, from social life to the loving care of traditions. The book demonstrates a harmony of action and thought that transcends nationality and can be embraced by all. As artist Costanza Chia, one of the people involved in this research, says, “There is poetry in doing things calmly and carefully: this is the warm Italian touch.”

Exploring eight keywords including Joy, Boldness, Passion, and Heritage, Aria d’Italia tells the personal and professional stories of young artists, entrepreneurs, and artisans who represent the heart of the Italian identity, motivated by an ongoing quest for beauty. These protagonists have been photographed by Guido Taroni in their homes and in the places that best represent their origins.

The title Aria d’Italia is inspired by the eponymous magazine published between 1939 and 1941 by collector Daria Guarnati, which brought together impressive collaborators such as Giò Ponti. With avant-garde taste, Guarnati enhanced Italy’s artistic heritage in all its expressions, from graphics to literature, art to design — and launched the concept of Italian style.

By the time of the Paris exhibition of 1925 from which Art Deco took its name, the idea that an interior and its furnishings should form a complete design - a "total look" - dominated the thinking of both designers and their clients. Studios began to emerge to serve the needs of a design and style-conscious middle-class. This text displays the flourishing design ingenuity through contemporary photographs and illustrations of selected interiors complemented with modern photographs of individual pieces. It traces the sylistic evolution and dominant motifs of Deco, the triumph of the 1925 exhibition and the pure "high style" of the Paris ensembliers; the growth of Streamline Moderne offshoots in the US; the international revival of Deco as a decorative style for a new generation of post-modern designers; and the restoration of many Art Deco interiors to their original state.
