Дизайн

Цвет является одним из важнейших выразительных средств архитектуры – он создает настроение и оказывает воздействие на наше восприятие. Однако он способен воздействовать не только на эмоциональном, но и на рациональном уровне: заложенные в здании цветовые коды могут апеллировать к культурной памяти или актуальным модным тенденциям, нести в себе не только явные или завуалированные смысловые послания, но и мгновенно считываемую невербальную информацию. Цветовое решение почти всегда субъективно (и как бы необязательно) – для него не существует утвержденных стандартов или предписаний, оно не заложено в функциональной программе здания. Однако именно цвет зачастую придает проекту неповторимость и законченность, благодаря ему даже ординарную по форме постройку можно превратить в произведение искусства. Работая с цветом, архитектор проявляется как художник. И в его распоряжении сегодня огромная палитра красок и материалов – от традиционных до самых современных. Полихромность в архитектуре уходит корнями в древность и имеет такую же долгую историю, как сама архитектура. Однако эта линия развития никогда не была непрерывной. И если в интерьерах цвет на протяжении многих эпох присутствовал неизменно, то во внешнем облике, на фасадах зданий, он то появлялся, то исчезал – иногда очень надолго. Такие перепады, с периодами полного изгнания цвета, можно наблюдать и в недавнем прошлом – в истории архитектуры ХХ века они случались неоднократно. Чтобы убедиться в этом, достаточно бросить взгляд из окна или посмотреть вокруг. Окружающая нас городская среда и есть эта история. Преимущественно монохромная. Тому, как за счет цвета можно нарушить эту монотонность, – созданию притягивающих взгляд, узнаваемых и запоминающихся архитектурных акцентов и градостроительных доминант, многообразию возможностей в использовании цвета в современной архитектуре и посвящен этот номер SPEECH:Наряду с рассмотрением основных современных тенденций, в журнале по традиции анализируется исторический опыт обращения с цветом как в русском, так и в западно-европейском зодчестве, а на примере опыта Голландии и Испании показываются возможности создания за счет цвета эстетически и эмоционально продуманной, комфортабельной городской среды.

В номере опубликованы интервью со звездами мировой архитектуры – Уильямом Олсопом (William Alsop), Матиасом Зауербрухом и Луизой Хаттон

Журнал speech: артикулирует актуальные темы и позиции в современной архитектуре, раскрывая их с разных сторон – с точки зрения теории и практики, истории и современности, на основе зарубежного и российского материала и опыта, сопоставляя глобальные тенденции и локальные особенности.

Каждый номер журнала speech: полностью посвящен одной теме, раскрывая ее в разных ракурсах. Выбор темы связан с той частью профессии архитектора, которая дает основания считать ее искусством, а не только частью торговли квадратными метрами. speech: предоставляет возможность прямого высказывания российским и зарубежным архитекторам, культурологам, критикам и историкам архитектуры, экспертам в самых разных связанных с архитектурой областях.

Серия картин «Городской туман»

This is the only book you’ll need to learn the craft and art of upholstery from start to finish. With clear instructions illustrated by more than 900 step-by-step photographs, the five projects included here are designed to teach all of the techniques and skills you need to reupholster any piece of furniture to suit your own taste and style.

Nowadays stage designs reach proportions that by far exceed the classical definition of a stage as we know it from theatre.

Modern stage environments require increasingly more effort in terms of architecture and technology. For example LED screens of all shapes and sizes are becoming more important than ever, especially in the field of concert or television productions. Those two fields, as well as musical, concert, opera and theatre productions, are documented in this volume photographed by Ralph Larmann. Among the 30 top productions are

• Disney's Lion King
• Tosca in the Snow
• Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium
• Robbie Williams - Close Encounters
• Echo 2007
• Pop Idol 2006 - Finals
• SkyArena Frankfurt. 

All the projects provide a look behind the scenes and detailed insight into the complex stage constructions. Besides this, a short text gives some background information about the place and time of the production, the making of and the responsible creatives as well as involved enterprises and institutions.

New product presentation needs and the ever-growing importance companies give to attending trade shows and exhibitions has generated a new brand of architecture whose capacity for innovation has drawn some of the world’s top architects and designers. When it comes time to conceive ideas for show stands, these individuals bring to the table a new perspective to combine sales strategy and architectural creativity.

"We have to replace beauty, which is a cultural concept, with goodness, which is a humanist concept." – Philippe Starck

Philippe Starck wants to bring love and happiness into your life by designing objects, environments, and appliances that will brighten your days. He spent his childhood under his father's drawing boards, sawing, cutting, gluing, and sanding, dismantling bikes, motorcycles and other objects. Several years and several prototypes later, he has changed life at the French presidential palace, the Italians have asked him to renew the notion of furniture, and he has turned the Royalton and Paramount in New York into the first classics of the new hotel world.

Starck's overwhelming international success and cult-star status are proof that people everywhere are receptive to his kindhearted philosophy and distinctive aesthetic sensibility. The democratic design projects that he has undertaken with Target (USA) and j/ii (Japan), as well as the TASCHEN bookshops in Paris and Los Angeles and the Bon restaurant chain, are among the projects included in this volume that traces the entire career of today's foremost design superhero.

The designer:
Philippe Starck is an internationally acclaimed French creator, designer and architect. This untiring and rebellious citizen of the world, who considers it his duty to share his ethical and subversive vision of a fairer planet, creates unconventional objects whose purpose is to be “good” before being beautiful. Most of his designs have become cult objects, and his hotels are timeless icons that have added a new dimension to the global cityscape. An enthusiastic advocate of sustainability, this visionary recently developed the revolutionary concept of “democratic ecology” by creating affordable wind turbines for the home, soon to be followed by innovative wooden prefabricated ecological houses and solar boats. He himself lives, with his wife Jasmine, mostly on airplanes, and in Paris, Burano, and on his oyster farm in the southwest of France.

A love letter to the cinema from the House of Dior, featuring legendary screen actresses in signature Dior.

Embraced by Hollywood and the iconic women who are its stars, the fashions of Christian Dior have been worn by the likes of Marlene Dietrich in Stage Fright, Lauren Bacall in How to Marry a Millionaire, Ava Gardner, Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor and, more recently, Charlize Theron, Penélope Cruz, and Nicole Kidman.

Well before the successes that were to propel Dior to the forefront of the fashion world, the master couturier put his talent to work as a costume designer for the cinema, collaborating with renowned filmmakers and creating timeless ensembles for legendary actresses. Following the untimely death of the designer, the House of Dior’s involvement with the cinema continued, from 1958 to the present, with more than fifty films featuring the stars of the silver screen dressed in signature Dior.

Combining fashion photography and rarely seen and never before published behind-the-scenes photographs, this gorgeously produced volume showcases Dior’s creations for film and the movie stars who brought them to life, and is a must for those who aspire to high style.

During his more than forty years as a film historian, Ira M. Resnick amassed a superb collection of more than 2,000 vintage movie posters and 1,500 stills. They were never shared with the public until Starstruck: Vintage Movie Posters from Classic Hollywood was published in 2010. This remarkable volume features the best of Resnick’s collection, with vivid reproductions of 250 posters and 40 stills from 1912-1962, Hollywood's golden age.

Ira M. Resnick founded the Motion Picture Arts Gallery in Manhattan — the first gallery exclusively devoted to the art of the movies. A renowned institution amongst movie poster collectors, the gallery is now located just outside of New York City in East Rutherford, NJ. A respected figure in the NYC film community, Resnick served as chairman of the board of the Film Society of Lincoln Center from 1999 to 2005. A one-of-a-kind art book, STARSTRUCK combines cinematic history, a guide to poster collecting, firsthand account, and dramatic full-colour artwork — a blend of genres that is unlike any other movie poster book. Resnick offers entertaining anecdotes about how he managed to acquire such stellar examples of movie poster art, as well as historical information about the stars and films shown on the pieces he collected. Bonus material includes a list of Resnick’s fifty favourite one-sheets, advice for the movie poster collector, and a glossary of terms and poster sizes.

A must-have book for every collector and film buff, STARSTRUCK offers a beautifully illustrated, personal tour of a bygone age of the motion picture advertising industry.
