Це перша книга, яка всебічно розглядає діапазон архітектурних досягнень ODA, від квартир до будівель та районів. Проєкти підкреслюють гуманістичну філософію, що прагне залучення громади, соціального зв'язку та, перш за все, інформування та розвитку.

Заснована у 2007 році Ераном Ченом, ODA прагне узгодити умови вертикального міського життя з якістю життя та зарекомендувала себе завдяки новаторським проєктам. Прагнучи змінити пріоритети міської архітектури, ставлячи людей на перше місце, ODA кидає виклик традиційним поглядам на житло, які з часом впливатимуть на життя в наших містах.

Сповнена відступів, вирізів та терас, будівля ODA незмінно має захопливий профіль, прагнучи бути скульптурною там, де важливо бути візуально захопливою, високо в небі, та більш простою там, де важливіше бути прямолінійною, на рівні вулиці. Форми будівель привертають увагу, але форми ніколи не бувають довільними чи надмірними. Деякі, як-от будинок 15 Renwick на Мангеттені, як зазначає Голдбергер, «… мають гарні манери та радше підкоряються вулиці, ніж демонструють свою форму; інші, як-от Bevel у Лонг-Айленд-Сіті, Квінзі…, більш вражаючі… але вони ніколи не виглядають такими надмірними, як форма заради форми».

З розділами, що переходять від квартири до будинку, від кварталу до району, та розворотом, який розкриває захопливий новий проект, призначений оживити горизонт Нью-Йорка, послання книги підкреслює фундаментальне розуміння ODA про те, що ніщо не існує ізольовано, а метою архітектури є не лише створення комфортних та візуально приємних місць для життя, а й створення спільноти.

Про авторів:

Пол Голдбергер є редактором-співробітником у Vanity Fair, обіймає кафедру дизайну та архітектури імені Джозефа Урбаніста в Новій школі, а в 1984 році був нагороджений Пулітцерівською премією.

Еран Чен є засновником та виконавчим директором ODA.

Ця книга демонструє унікальне бачення та роботу Оладжумоке Аденово, яку називають «зірковим архітектором Африки» та найвпливовішою жінкою-архітектором Африки.

Оладжумоке Аденово — відома нігерійська архітекторка, яка очолює власну фірму з архітектури та дизайну інтер'єрів AD Consulting, яку вона заснувала в Лагосі в 1994 році. Будучи обдарованою студенткою, у віці 14 років вона вступила до Університету Обафемі Аволово та закінчила його з відзнакою за спеціальністю «Архітектура» до 19 років, а потім отримала ступінь магістра наук з архітектури в 1991 році.

Глибокий інтерес Аденово до архітектури та дизайну виник під час її візитів до Європи та світу з батьками в дитинстві, а також під час проживання в кампусі Університету Обафемі Аволово в стародавньому місті Іле-Іфе в штаті Осун, Нігерія, де її батьки були професорами. Прийнявши глобальну перспективу з раннього віку, але міцно вкорінена у свою спадщину протягом усієї своєї кар'єри, вона має унікальну можливість безпосередньо розвивати передовий досвід сучасної африканської архітектури, який використовує знання та методи предків з самого континенту.

Дисертація Аденово «Нео-спадщина» передбачає нову структуру ідей, яка спирається на принципи дизайну африканської спадщини, що сприятиме міжнародним рішенням у галузі архітектури.

Про автора:

Оладжумоке Аденово — багаторазова лауреатка премій архітекторка, яку CNN та The Guardian назвали «африканським архітектором-зіркою». Вона має власну фірму архітектури та дизайну інтер'єрів AD Consulting у Лагосі та регулярно читає лекції з глобальної естетики, гендерних питань, розширення прав і можливостей жінок та африканського підприємницького лідерства.

Architect Olivier Dwek celebrates the twentieth anniversary of his firm with a new book highlighting his signature style of modern European luxury.

A virtuoso of volumes and a master of light, Brussels-based architect Olivier Dwek shapes buildings and interiors that are inhabited by a timeless aura. Fluid lines and varied perspectives define monumental structures, enhancing details and contemporary art pieces in both private and public spaces, all imbued with serene elegance.

Ranging from Greek vacation homes to Parisian townhouses, this volume celebrates the refined approach that marks Dwek's style while taking the reader on a journey across Europe and the world. Vibrant photographs showcase Dwek's fascination with textures and new uses for materials developed in collaboration with artists and artisans. His skilled use of light, his innate sense of symmetry, and his effortless merging of architectural elements with design details are all apparent in this volume. With texts by architecture expert Philip Jodidio, this printed journey through Dwek's buildings and interiors is bound to seduce architecture connoisseurs and curious spirits alike.

About the Authors:

Belgian-born architect Olivier Dwek founded he founded his namesake architecture firm in 2000, and has designed art galleries and cultural centers, renovated historical industrial spaces, and worked on projects for luxury brands. He is regularly featured in international publications such as Interior Design and AD Collector. Philip Jodidio is a specialist in modern architecture. As well as having held the post of editor-in-chief of the art magazine Connaissance des Arts for over twenty years, he is the author of over one hundred books on architecture and contemporary art.

The long-anticipated monograph on OMA New York by Shohei Shigematsu and Jason Long is sure to be the design and architecture book of the season. Presenting more than 20 radical architectural projects from a new generation of the firm, this mammoth volume is the first compendium by OMA, since Content and Rem Koolhaas’s S, M, L, XL.

Well into its fourth decade, the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), founded by Rem Koolhaas in 1975, remains one of the most influential and successful practices of its kind. OMA describes itself as “a firm operating within the traditional boundaries of architecture and urbanism that applies architectural thinking to domains beyond.” OMA New York, has grown from an American outpost to a full-fledged operation with its own attitudes, contributing to the evolution of the globally acclaimed office. Through a diversity of projects, the firm has transformed our understanding of the city and our evolving relationship with art, fashion, food, sustainability, and other quintessentially twenty-first-century preoccupations.

The works presented here elaborate on OMA’s philosophy even as they expand its portfolio geographically. Featured projects (led by partners Shohei Shigematsu and Jason Long) include residential skyscrapers in New York, Miami, and San Francisco, mixed-use developments in cities from Tokyo to Houston, and projects like 11th Street Bridge Park in the public realm, alongside more intimate spaces such as the studio for renowned Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang. Permanent structures, such as Milstein Hall at Cornell University, the new galleries of Quebec’s Musée National des Beaux-Arts, a cultural forum and neighborhood for Faena in Miami, and the expansion of museums such as the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo and the New Museum in Manhattan, contrast vividly with temporary interventions such as the Manus x Machina exhibition at the Met Costume Institute and the sculptural installation of soaring concrete columns for An Occupation of Loss.

In between projects are dialogues with leading policymakers, museum directors, artists, fashion designers, musicians, chefs, and curators — Christopher Hawthorne, Lisa Phillips and Massimiliano Gioni, Taryn Simon, Iris van Herpen, Virgil Abloh, David Byrne, Alice Waters, and Cecilia Alemani — who provide insight onto areas of the firm’s interests and preoccupations beyond the realm of architecture. 

About the Authors:

Shohei Shigematsu and Jason Long are partners at OMA, based out of the New York office. Virgil Abloh is an American fashion designer and founder of Off White. David Byrne is an American musician & artist. Alice Waters is an American chef and author.

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.

About the Authors:

Jane S. Day is an historian and preservationist and author of Rizzoli’s From Palm Beach to Shangri La: The Architecture of Marion Sims Wyeth.
The Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach is a private, nonprofit membership organization dedicated to the preservation of the architectural and cultural heritage of Palm Beach, Florida.

Choreographies of Light

Pitsou Kedem’s spatial arrangements evoke a continuing shift of perspective: A recurring element of the Tel Aviv architect’s buildings is the impressive double-height living room that creates a connection between levels. Guided by fundamental principles of minimalism, the studio was involved in a constant pursuit of purity in order to reveal the essence of a space. After years of simplifying materials to the extent of avoiding all distractions, the architects began to add layers of materials as well as spatial layers. This comprehensive publication retraces the past 20 years of the Studio’s practice. Alongside a photographic archive of its built history in Israel, it features Kedem’s drawings and studies of light perforations from his time at the AA School of Architecture, highlighting his fascination for light as the characterizing element that is at the core of his architectural language.

Pitsou Kedem Architects Studio was founded by Pitsou Kedem (*1970) after graduating from the AA Architectural Association School of Architecture in 2000. Operating for two decades, the studio has planned many projects in Israel, and more recently around the world, often characterized by a contrast between simple and clean outward masses, and complex and rich internal sections.

A celebration of new traditional buildings by a renowned classicist. In this monograph, the firm’s recent work is showcased, highlighting new residential, cultural, academic, and religious projects. Throughout the work, what stands out is the architectural virtuosity that marries the very best of classical architecture and modern design.

About the Author:

Demetri Porphyrios has taught at the Royal College of Art and the Architectural Association in London, and has been a visiting professor at Yale University. He is the recipient of the prestigious Ross Award and the Driehaus Prize.

At the pinnacle of his profession and powers, Christian de Portzamparc is a shining star in the firmament of high design.

Pritzker Prize–winning architect Christian de Portzamparc is renowned for bold yet artful architecture that is at once sensitive to its context while at the same time being novel, adventurous, and frequently exciting. One57, the soaring residential skyscraper in New York, with unparalleled views of Central Park, is perhaps his most famous building in the United States, but his work ranges widely across the globe, from an extraordinary handkerchief puff–shaped boutique for Christian Dior in Seoul to a low-winged arabesque of a building for the wine producer Cheval Blanc to a mysterious temple of the modern for Casarts in Casablanca. This volume, the first major comprehensive book on Portzamparc’s work in more than three decades, is a revelation and a comprehensive survey of the work of one of the world’s most innovative and exciting architects at the height of his powers.

About the Author:

Philip Jodidio has written more than fifty books on contemporary architecture, including monographs on Tadao Ando, Norman Foster, Richard Meier, Jean Nouvel, and Alvaro Siza. He was the editor-in-chief of Connaissance des Arts, the most widely distributed French art monthly, from 1980 to 2002. Christian de Portzamparc is an architect and urban planner. In 1994, he was awarded the Pritzker Prize, widely considered “architecture’s Nobel” and the profession’s highest honor.

Projects and Their Consequences presents fifteen key projects from leading architectural thinkers Reiser + Umemoto. Projects and Their Consequences traces thirty years of innovative, multidisciplinary investigations of form, structure, technique, and planning.

Projects include large-scale studies of infrastructure for the East River Corridor and Hudson Yards areas in Manhattan and the Alishan Railway in Taiwan, as well as schemes for cultural institutions including the New Museum, Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, and University of Applied Arts Vienna. Also included are thought-provoking “textual projects”: narrative works that blur the boundaries of art and architecture.

Projects and Their Consequences balances incisive interviews and essays with more than 400 strikingly original drawings, collages, and paintings. Large-format and beautifully designed, it is a necessary volume for architects and those interested in the intersection of architecture, art, and culture.

Architecture as Reflective Practice

This publication features projects that the partnership PROMONTORIO developed over the past 30 years. Together they constitute an impressive body of work for various places across Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the USA, ranging from city planning, to culture and education, heritage and conservation, commercial and mixed-use, in addition to hospitality and leisure. The idea of a reflective practice, set forth by PROMONTORIO, summons the ability to critically and ethically reflect on its own actions, while engaging in a process of continuous adaptation and learning. Perceived as a kind of "practicing school" for various generations in Portugal, the practice evolved, in both theory and practice, through the idea that deliberate reflection on experience is essential to cultivate a developmental insight on architecture.

Founded in Lisbon in 1990 by Paulo Martins Barata, João Luís Ferreira, Paulo Perloiro, Pedro Appleton and João Perloiro as an experimental practice, PROMONTORIO progressively grew into a multidisciplinary team of 60 architects, planners, landscape architects, interior designers, and graphic designers.

The first volume on the exciting work by one of the most cutting-edge architects and interior designers working today.

Founded in 2006, Rafael de Cárdenas’s firm Architecture at Large was created after a roundabout route to architecture. His experience as a menswear designer at Calvin Klein and a creative director at the special-effects production house Imaginary Forces led him to study architecture and blend his multidisciplinary background to create spaces that are artful and highly conceptual. He is known for his bold and eye-popping projects spanning commercial and residential interiors, art objects and furniture, and pop-ups.

With four thematically organized chapters treating his most stunning projects from a decade of work in vivid detail, this book is a must-have for those interested in contemporary spaces. From highly sculptural and geometric commercial interiors to some of the most sophisticated homes in Manhattan, de Cárdenas and his firm infuse their work with an energetic spirit that is less about a particular style than it is about a masterful shaping of atmospheres and moods. The book includes stunning photography alongside two insightful essays by thought leaders in architecture and art.

About the Authors:

Rafael de Cárdenas is a New York–based designer and architect. De Cárdenas has been named a Featured Designer for AD France Collector and to the Architectural Digest AD100 list. Felix Burrichter is the creator of PIN-UP, a biannual magazine for architectural entertainment. John Miller is an artist, writer, and musician based in New York and Berlin. Jesse Seegers is a spatial practitioner and associate editor of digital projects at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation.

Довгоочікувана монографія нещодавніх будинків від провідної каліфорнійської архітектурної та ландшафтної фірми, яка прославляє вишуканий сучасний спосіб життя та є вершиною Каліфорнійської мрії.

Residing with Nature представляє унікальні будинки, створені з чуттєвих матеріалів та драматично розташовані, щоб покращити краєвиди, сонячне світло та природу Каліфорнії, Невади та Колорадо. Грант Кіркпатрік та Дуан Тран з KAA Design діляться своїм процесом створення персонального середовища, яке адаптовано до унікального способу життя та обстановки кожного клієнта. Усі проекти демонструють динамічний зв'язок з природою, що поєднує інтер'єр та екстер'єр, надзвичайну увагу до майстерності, тривале використання місцевих матеріалів, вражаючий баланс між геометрією та примхливістю, а також захопливе відчуття левітації.

Приголомшливі будинки KAA Design є прикладом того, чому так багато людей вважають Каліфорнію зразком вишуканого сучасного життя. Їхні будинки натхненні раннім каліфорнійським модернізмом та азійськими традиціями, а також є шаною до роботи таких архітекторів, як Рудольф Шиндлер, який використовував вишукану палітру природних матеріалів. Стренд на Манхеттен-Біч піднімається з морської трави; Будиночок на дереві розташований серед масиву зрілих коркових дубів, рідкісних сосен Торрі та запашних південних магнолій, що відповідає давньому зв'язку клієнта з цим місцем та його бажанню унікального бачення. Простий, але вишуканий дизайн поєднує геотермальну енергію, підлогове опалення та охолодження, фотоелектричні енергетичні системи та сонячне нагрівання води. Кілька ракурсів кожного будинку та плану дають читачам натхнення та ідеї для мрій.
