Often described as Prince Charles's favourite architect, Quinlan Terry is at home in every traditional style, from Classical Greek to Roman, Gothic to Renaissance, and Baroque to Neo-classical. With intense new interest in classical design, there is a high demand for a compilation of Terry's work, a volume that showcases the ideas and creations of one of the world's most daring traditionalist designers.

At the pinnacle of his career — this year's winner of the Driehaus Prize, classical architecture's highest honour — Quinlan Terry is one of the most celebrated practitioners of the form and also perhaps the most radical.

Radical Classicism contains hundreds of lavish colour illustrations and thirty of Terry's designs, including staterooms at Downing Street #10, a library and residential building at Cambridge University, a cathedral in Essex, a church in Bishopsgate, four buildings in Williamsburg, Va., townhouses in London, and ten large country houses in England, Germany, and the U.S. Buildings featured include Juniper Hill in Buckinghamshire; Ionic Villa, Corinthian Villa, and Regency Villa in Regents Park, London; Abercrombie House in Kentucky; Latourette Farm, New Jersey; Highland Park House, Dallas, Texas.

This monograph offers an invaluable insight into the design and creation of one of the world's newest and truly international corporate complexes. Founded in Bolton, England in 1895 by J.W. Foster, Reebok's story is one of discovery and innovation, which has been continued into the 21st century with the creation of the World Headquarters of Reebok International Ltd. Designed by US architects NBBJ, the headquarters is located at 1895 J.W. Foster Boulevard in Canton, MA, on 42 acres of landscaped grounds. It includes four major buildings that are connected to a unique circular glass spine, designed to facilitate employee interaction and inspire creativity. The site also incorporates extensive indoor and outdoor athletic/fitness facilities, including a dramatic state-of-the-art fitness center. These facilities can be viewed from vantage points within the building, uniting employees with the sporting and fitness activities that define Reebok and inspire new product development.

"The array of buildings by Renzo Piano is staggering in scope and comprehensive in the diversity of scale, material, and form. He is truly an architect whose sensibilities represent the widest range of this and earlier centuries." Such was the description of Renzo Piano given by the Pritzker Prize jury citation as they bestowed the prestigious award on him in 1998.Whereas some architects have a signature style, what sets Piano apart is that he seeks simply to apply a coherent set of ideas to new projects in extraordinarily different ways. "One of the great beauties of architecture is that each time, it is like life starting all over again," Piano says. "Like a movie director doing a love story, a Western, or a murder mystery, a new world confronts an architect with each project." This explains why it takes more than a superficial glance to recognize Piano's fingerprints on such varied projects as the Pompidou Center in Paris (1971-77), the Kansai airport in Osaka, Japan (1990-94), and the Tjibaou Cultural Center in Nouméa, New Caledonia (1993-98). This stunning monograph, illustrated by photographs, sketches, and plans, covers Piano's career to date.

The updated publication includes new photographs of projects completed since the previous edition, such as his The New York Times Building in New York, the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern, Switzerland, The Morgan Library in New York, as well as some sneak peeks at his current projects, including the 66-story London Bridge Tower, which is set to be Europe's tallest building.

Volume 1 features numerous case studies including the Bari Sports Stadium in Italy and the first stages of the Kansai Airport International Terminal in Japan. Widely acclaimed on publication, the book includes an authoritative introductory essay as well as specially redrawn drawings and plans.

As Peter Buchanan has shown in the first three volumes of Renzo Piano’s complete works, he follows no fashions of form or theory, nor is he limited to a personal idiom. Instead he concerns himself with the specifics and potential of a particular situation and moment, meeting the challenges of the programme, pushing the limits of technology, but always responding sensitively to the topography or urban fabric of the building’s site. This fourth volume on Renzo Piano provides an illuminating study of the architect’s working method, in particular his regard for context, followed by a presentation of his projects from 1989 to 2000. These range from urban works such as the Potsdamer Platz masterplan in Berlin, a science museum in Amsterdam and high-rise towers in Rotterdam and Sydney, to the acclaimed Beyeler Foundation and the Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Centre in New Caledonia, which exemplifies the architect’s sensitivity to site and local tradition, combining traditional materials and techniques with those from the cutting edge of technology.

Микеланджело: Полное собрание произведений

Ein spektakulärer Überblick über die schönsten Museumsbauten des Pritzker-Preisträgers.

Pritzker-Preisträger Renzo Piano gilt als der führende Architekt für Museumsbauten, herausragende Kunstinstutionen weltweit haben ihm ihre Sammlungen anvertraut. 18 seiner Museumsentwürfe aus den letzten 35 Jahren stellt der großformatige Band anhand von atmosphärisch dichten Fotos und präzisen Architekturzeichnungen und Grundrissen vor.

Der Bogen spannt sich vom damals revolutionären Centre Pompidou (1977), bis hin zu noch nicht fertig gestellten Projekten, etwa dem Los Angeles County Museum of Art, dem Art Institute of Chicago (Eröffnung 2009) oder dem geplanten Museum für zeitgenössische Kunst in Sarajevo. Meilensteine der Museumsarchitektur werden ausführlich präsentiert: die Menil Collection in Houston, die Fondation Beyeler in Riehen bei Basel, das Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern, das Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas und die Erweiterung der Pierpoint Morgan Library in New York. Eine Einführung von Victoria Newhouse diskutiert zentrale Elemente von Pianos Ästhetik – natürliches Licht, Transparenz und die Piazza als öffentlicher Treffpunkt.

 

Richard Dattner & Partners Architects has created architecture in balance - realising its clients' highest aspirations while respecting shared social responsibilities and building within available resources. This architecture balances order and openness, building and context, permanence and flexibility, monumentality and human scale. Each building is considered to be in a conversation with its users and surroundings, responding to their needs in a dialogue of sensitivity and respect. The civil architecture of Richard Dattner aims to house, protect, nurture and ennoble this discourse of civilisation. Some of the projects included in this book are the New York Botanical Garden Discovery Center, Columbia University School of Social Work, Goodwill Games Swimming and Diving Complex, and the Estee Lauder Corporate Headquarters.

The first monograph on the work of Richard Gillette, a visionary designer whose elegant interiors are inspired by the works of the great artists of history.

Richard Gillette is one of America’s leading interior designers, lauded for his comprehensively conceived and exquisitely detailed rooms. A painter by training, his work draws inspiration from the great masters, ranging from artists of the ancient world and the luminaries of the Enlightenment to such familiar figures as Rembrandt, Millais, Klimt, Miro, de Chirico, and Braque, among others.

Richard Gillette: The Art of the Interior presents twenty of the best examples of his interiors. Although his style palette ranges widely, from Cubist Illusion to Victorian Minimal, Pre-Raphaelite Deco to Rococo, all of the apartments and homes featured share a common element: each design was inspired by a central and unifying piece of art that informs the space — a cubist painting by Picasso or Braque, a neo-realist piece by de Chirico, a Pre-Raphaelite masterpiece by Millais. Stunning colour photographs highlight the hallmarks of Gillette’s work — his exceptionally fine craftsmanship and painterly attention to surface and form, elements that contribute to making his interiors works of art in their own right.

A volume rich in sumptuous detail, Richard Gillette: The Art of the Interior is a sublime integration of aesthetics and form in the realized contemporary interior.

About the Author:

Richard Gillette is a New York-based interior designer and principal of Richard Gillette Designs. His work for an international clientele has appeared in publications such as Architectural Digest, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, and the New York Times, among many others.

Lightness in glass and white. On the 50th anniversary of Richard Meier’s firm, a complete retrospective

From his early days as one of the "New York Five," Richard Meier has been a central figure in contemporary architecture; this updated 2013 trade edition of the XL version is published in the occasion of the firm’s 50th anniversary. With the Getty Center and more recent buildings such as the Jubilee Church in Rome, Meier has established a reputation for expanded the horizons of contemporary American architecture while maintaining his rigorously rational approach to design and detailing. Known for carefully conceived grid plans and frequent use of white, Meier is a master of light, space, and volume, able to adapt his style to very different circumstances and locations.

The entire span of Meier’s career is included in this exceptional volume, newly updated for this edition and created in close collaboration with the architect, and the eminent graphic designer Massimo Vignelli. This spectacular monograph displays Meier’s work in unprecedented size and brilliance, and features a preface by the noted Spanish architect Alberto Campo Baeza.

Philip Jodidio (born 1954) studied art history and economics at Harvard, and edited Connaissance des Arts for over 20 years. His books include TASCHEN’s Architecture Now! series, and monographs on Tadao Ando, Norman Foster, Richard Meier, Jean Nouvel, and Zaha Hadid. He is internationally renowned as one of the most popular writers on the subject of architecture.

Richard Meier is one of the most renowned architects working today. His works are characterized by their rationalism, their rather detached purity, and their large expanses of reticulated forms masterfully articulating voids and solids. An architect obsessed with visual effects, Meier is known for such large-scale projects as the Getty Center in Los Angeles.

This oversize book, however, concentrates solely on Meier's residential works. Fourteen houses are featured through dramatic colour photos of both interior and exterior side by side with drawings, plans, and reflections of both the architect and his clients. A bibliography and a chronology of all of Meier's residential projects, both built and unbuilt, complete this visually stunning volume.

This oversized book presents 14 built American houses by one of the world's most influential and widely emulated architects. New colour interior and exterior photography, as well as drawings, plans, clients' personal reflections, and the architect's insight, accompany each house. With a chronology of all of Meier's built and unbuilt residential projects, this is a most beautiful and valuable reference for admirers of his work.

The third in a series of Rizzoli monographs on Richard Meier, this volume comprehensively documents the numerous and varied works created since 1992 by one of America's most important architects and a winner of the Pritzker Prize for Architecture.
