Монографии и сборники работ известных архитекторов

Born and educated in Germany, Walter Gropius (1883-1969) belongs to the select group of architects that massively influenced the international development of modern architecture. As the founding director of the Bauhaus, Gropius made inestimable contributions to his field, to the point that knowing his work is crucial to understanding Modernism. His early buildings, such Fagus Boot-Last Factory and the Bauhaus Building in Dessau, with their use of glass and industrial features, are still indispensable points of reference. After his emigration to the United States, he influenced the education of architects there and became, along with Mies van der Rohe, a leading proponent of the International Style.

GSD Platform 2 provides a sampling of the most salient research and design explorations undertaken at the Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) during the 2008-2009 academic year. Organized thematically, the publication identifies underlying congruencies among studio work, theses, research, lectures, conferences, and writings to unfold some of the many critical ideas and interests currently being explored in the School. Ranging in scope from detailed material fabrication to large-scale territorial and infrastructural strategies, the work spans a broad and diverse set of geographies and scenarios. In documenting this work, the publication archives and disseminates the rich intellectual momentum of the GSD.

Rizzoli's second monograph on this distinguished New York firm follows Gwathmey Siegel: Buildings and Projects 1982-1992. The sequel presents the exquisite residential work for which the firm is so justifiably renowned--from private apartments in Manhattan to homes in Switzerland and California. Also shown are cultural and institutional works, notably, the U.S. Mission to the United Nations and the International Center of Photography, both in New York, and numerous other campus and museum projects across the United States. The volume also covers the firm's recent corporate work, including the David Geffen Foundation Building in Los Angeles.

Audacious futurism. The forward-thinking work of a singular architect

Zaha Hadid is a wildly controversial architect, who for many years built almost nothing, despite her designs winning prizes and critical acclaim. Some even said her work was unbuildable. Yet over the past decade she has completed numerous structures including the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati (which the New York Times called ’’the most important new building in America since the Cold War’’), the MAXXI Museum in Rome, the Guangzhou Opera House, her first completed project in China, and the London Aquatics Center for the 2012 Olympics. Today, Hadid is firmly established among the élite of world architecture, her audacious and futuristic designs as well as her sense for style and fashion having catapulted her to international fame.

Building the future now. The iconic work of a singular architect

Zaha Hadid is a wildly controversial architect whose work remained largely unbuilt for years, despite awards and critical acclaim. Yet in the past decade, Hadid has risen to fame and completed numerous structures like the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati, the Glasgow Riverside Museum, and the Eli & Edythe Broad Art Museum in Michigan

With her audacious, futuristic designs, Zaha Hadid now ranks among the global elite in a notoriously male-dominated industry. In the past decade, Hadid has transformed skylines and captured imaginations with such prestigious projects as the MAXXI in Rome, the Guangzhou Opera House in China, and the London Aquatics Centre, designed for the 2012 Olympic Games... With her audacious, futuristic designs, Hadid now ranks among the elite of world architecture.

Born in Baghdad and educated in London, where her practice is based, Hadid has designed radical architecture for over 30 years. This massive TASCHEN monograph, now available in a specially updated and more accessible edition, covers her complete works to date. The New National Stadium of Japan — venue of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, and the Serpentine Sackler Gallery in London are both published for the first time. This volume shows the evolution of Hadid’s career — comprising buildings and furniture and interior designs — with in-depth texts, spectacular photos, and her own drawings.

Haigo Shen & Partners' (HSP) works in architecture and planning have had a major impact on the development of modern architecture in the postwar era of Taiwan. Haigo Shen has also contributed heavily to the future of architecture in Taiwan by the establishment, in 1998, of the Haigo Shen Architectural Education Foundation. A vast number of international architects have worked in partnership with Haigo Shen on large-scale, important works such as the Taipei World Trade Center Exhibition and Convention Centers, Taipei Main Station, Grand Hyatt Hotel, Taipei, the Museum of Prehistory, and the Museum of Marine Biology & Aquarium. These projects, and many more, are presented in this fine monograph that documents the evolution of an important architectural firm.

During its first decade, Harrison Design Associates has become a leader in the field of classical and traditional design. With offices in Georgia and California, its projects range in style from Mission Revival to magnificent Beaux-Arts Classicism.

This volume is a detailed exploration of the firm's works to date. With rich colour photographs, site renderings and plans, the reader visually tours the featured homes and shares the beauty of life in well-designed spaces. The variety of materials and sites will delight all who are interested in architecture.

A comprehensive survey of the work of a master of mid- to late-twentieth-century modernist design. Over the course of a career spanning more than five decades, Australian architect Harry Seidler embarked upon a long series of dramatically innovative and sculptural houses with a rare sensitivity to site, space, and structure. And while these soaring, inspiring houses have been the source of Seidler's fame within architectural circles, this book gives a complete view of this modern master's body of work for the first time. Seidler is now widely acknowledged as a leading member of the postwar generation of modernists and one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century in the southern hemisphere. With commissions not only in Australia but also in Austria, France, Israel, Italy, Mexico, and Hong Kong since establishing his own practice in Sydney in 1948, his work has influenced the course of modernist design into the twenty-first century.

Seit 25 Jahren fuhren Hubert Hermann und Francois Valentiny ihre Buros in Wien und Luxemburg. Was sie verbindet, ist eine gemeinsame Haltung, die sie uber die Jahre im verbalen und entwerferischen Gedankenaustausch prazisieren. Was sie trennt ist der Standort: Hier die Grostadt Wien, dort das kleine, landlich gepragte Luxemburg. Daher auch die unterschiedlichen Aufgaben - vom Gerateschuppen zum Reprasentativbau, vom Einfamilienhaus zur urbanen Wohnanlage. Die vorliegende Monografie ist thematisch aufgebaut: Baukunstlerisch sind ihre Arbeiten vergleichbar, im subjektiven Ausdruck allerdings differenziert gelost. Ihre Architektur bietet uns ein Erlebnis, das nicht entlang zeitgeistiger Trends verlauft: hier geht es um einen individuellen Beitrag zur aktuellen Architekturdiskussion. Und es geht um "Codes" - um die Verarbeitung und Anwendung historischer, kontextueller, architekturtheoretischer, kunstlerischer Elemente und ihre Transformation in zeitgenossische, nutzerorientierte Architektur.

The influence of the Austrian architect and designer Josef Hoffmann (1870-1956) is extraordinary: for a period of over 60 years he kept up an aesthetic dialog with Modernism, the International Style, and Art Deco. Before being rediscovered in the 1980s by the Post-Modernists, his work was nearly forgotten; now his importance is unquestioned. As a designer he was one of the leading proponents of the Wiener Werkstätte, with its close connection to the Arts and Crafts movement. As an architect, he built the first modern buildings in Europe, such as the Purkersdorf Sanatorium (1904) and the Palais Stoclet (1905-1911). Traversing several styles and schools during his lifetime, his work shows a consistent Formalism. He abandoned Functionalism long before it became obsolete. In a historic sense, Hoffmann was doubly avant-garde: in both the rise and fall of Modernism.
