Copenhagen is not just the capital of Denmark, but also the international seat of cutting edge design by such modern masters as Arne Jacobsen, Jшrn Utzon and Verner Panton. All have left their indelible mark on the cityscape and the great tradition of bold and exceptional spaces continues. A number of highly important buildings have been erected in the last few years (the new library by Schmidt, Hammer & Lassen and the Opera House by Henning Larsens Tegnestue) and this guide provides the reader with a quick and handy reference to each and every one.

* Another of teNeues’ authoritative series of pocket guides to recent noteworthy architecture in cities around the world
* Includes color photographs and a site map for convenient use by tourists and professionals alike

Whilst Soviet modernist buildings in Georgia have ­enjoyed worldwide recognition for several decades, the art for architecture from that era – monumental decorative mosaics – still await discovery and appreciation from an international audience. Then, as now, these richly coloured mosaics were an independent, yet inextricable part of Georgia’s architecture: they ­underlined a building’s use, structured its façade, or merged into an elaborate whole. Today, how­ever, many of these works, which were far more than just state propaganda, are under threat of destruction. 

For the first time, this volume documents these unique remnants of Soviet history alongside their precise locations. Using vivid photos and detailed texts, Nini Palavandishvili and Lena Prents guide the reader through a diverse selection of mosaics that distinguish themselves from those of the other Soviet Republics. By drawing attention to this artistic legacy of a bygone era, and in the process revealing its beauty and cultural significance, the authors highlight the importance of protecting and preserving it for the future.

В то время как здания в стиле советского модернизма, расположенные в Грузии, являются признанными архитектурными достопримечательностями уже на протяжении нескольких десятилетий, примеры монументального искусства тех времен всё еще ждут того часа, когда широкая аудитория откроет их для себя и оценит по достоинству. Яркие, изумительные мозаики, украшающие многие здания, являются полноценными произведениями искусства, и в то же время – неотъемлемой частью архитектуры: они были призваны указывать на предназначение здания, определяли структуру его фасада или полностью покрывали его. В книге впервые задокументированы эти уникальные фрагменты советской истории искусства с указанием их точного географического положения. При помощи ярких фотографий и детальных описаний Нини Палавандишвили и Лена Пренц надеются привлечь внимание публики к художественному наследию. Они указывают на необходимость защищать и сохранять эти произведения искусства, которые представляют собой гораздо больше, чем просто элементы государственной пропаганды.

Europe-Bound. The top spots for absolute escapism

Through ancient wonders, world capitals, and tiny places with infectious personalities, Europe packs some serious travel punches. The world’s second-smallest continent makes up for size with its intricate cultures and abundant charms, boasting artistic masterpieces and architectural marvels as much as natural splendor.

A treasure trove of travel inspiration, this must-have guide profiles each hotel through postcard-ready photography as well as key information like directions, contact details, and reading inspiration for each destination.

La bell’Italia è per sempre. Legendary hotels and secret hideaways full of atmosphere

In Italy, art and life are entwined. This visual journey offers glimpses of rural landscapes, high culture, and divine food, all spied through the doorways and windows of the country’s most stunning hotels. Gorgeous photographs of hideaways and homesteads from Venice to Sicily offer fabulous accommodation suggestions for your next dolce vita getaway.

To travel through Italy is as close as one gets to being in paradise. For centuries, writers, artists, architects, and merchants have been drawn here, inspired by the beauty of Venice, Florence, Naples, and Rome. Countless books, paintings, poems, and sculptures are evidence of its undying appeal, and over the past 60 years, the country has become one of the world’s top travel and holiday destinations. The loveliness of Italy is, if not eternal, certainly enduring, and the easygoing and relaxed Italian lifestyle is still unrivaled.

Here, some of Italy’s most amazing landscapes and diverse regions are brought to life, like Tuscany, Umbria, the Amalfi Coast, and, no less magical, the Aeolian Islands off the coast of Sicily. In these mythical surroundings are legendary hotels full of atmosphere, where novels are set, movies are made, weddings are celebrated, and famous love stories consummated: Villa d’Este on Lake Como, the Pellicano Hotel in Porto Ercole, the Il San Pietro on the Amalfi Coast, and the Palazzo Margherita in Basilicata — o name just a few. Angelika Taschen also reveals where to find more secret and hidden jewels — from the Locanda Cipriani, a destination for food lovers on the island of Torcello, to the romantic Castello di Vicarello in Tuscany and the atmospheric Masseria Moroseta in Puglia.

From Cairo to Cape Town. In and out of Africa with National Geographic

Encompassing the best of National Geographic’s pioneering photographs of Africa, this is the definitive visual expedition through the world’s most captivating continent.

For over five generations, National Geographic magazine has dazzled and educated people with its incredible photographs and gripping stories from all corners of the earth. Inspired by our monumental Around the World in 125 Years, this volume curates around 200 captivating images sourced directly from the National Geographic historical archives, including 40 new photographs, that traverse the landscapes, history, cultures, and wildlife of Africa.

Our continental journey through amazing Africa ranges from evocative early black-and-white pictures to autochromes, from the golden age of Kodachromes to digital. Along the way, we fly over the misty volcanoes of Uganda in a 1950s plane; follow archaeologists into the cool, musky tombs of Egypt; gaze up at the gleaming skyscrapers of Zimbabwe; admire the ritual masks of the Chokwe tribesmen of Angola; get lost in a labyrinth of alleys and souks in Algeria’s old quarters; wonder at the fragile red-tufted flowers of South Africa’s Drakensberg mountains; trudge behind Kenyan farmers as they battle clouds of flying locusts; and gingerly spy mountain gorillas enjoying the Rwandan sunshine.

Long before the Travel Channel and Google Images, these images celebrated Africa’s spectacular landscapes, incredible wildlife, and diversity — but also reflect edgier stories that speak of rural hardship, environmental threats, and the lasting remnants of forced colonization. Leaving no stone unturned, this definitive voyage is in equal parts a breathtaking homage to an incomparable continent, and a unique tribute to the world’s most famous photography magazine.

Славутич – украинский провинциальный город к северу от Киева – во многом кажется принадлежащим другой эпохе. Город был построен после ядерной катастрофы, которая произошла в 1986 году на Чернобыльской АЭС, для переселения рабочих электростанции из загрязненной Припяти. Славутич – последний идеальный плановый город Советского Союза.

Однако тема Славутича весьма актуальна – особенно в период политического кризиса в Восточной Европе. Славутич является архитектурной манифестацией дружбы советских народов. Архитекторы восьми республик СССР участвовали в планировании и строительстве города. В результате, постмодернистская архитектура Славутича одновременно характеризуется социалистическими, советскими парадигмами и региональным воздействием Кавказа, Балтии и России. Кроме того, поиски последнего поколения советских архитекторов экологически устойчивой, удобной для жилья архитектуры, безусловно, актуальны и сегодня.

Архитектурный путеводитель по Славутичу документирует все районы и большинство зданий города, давая критический анализ уникальной поздней советской архитектуры и градостроительства в контексте Перестройки.

Slavutych, a Ukrainian provincial city north of Kyiv, seems in many respects to belong to a different era. Built after the Chornobyl nuclear disaster in 1986 to replace the contaminated dwellings of workers from the power plant, Slavutych is the last 'ideal' planned city of the Soviet Union.

However, the city is also highly topical - particularly in times of political crisis in Eastern Europe. Slavutych is an architectural manifestation of the Soviet people's friendship, with architects throughout the Soviet Union involved in its planning and construction. As a result, Slavutych's postmodernist architecture is both characterised by socialist, Soviet paradigms and regional influences from the Caucasus region, Baltic States and Russia. Furthermore, the search of the last Soviet generation of architects for an environmentally sustainable, habitable architecture is of course still relevant today.

The Architectural Guide Slavutych documents numerous buildings and all city districts, providing a critical analysis of unique late Soviet architecture and urban planning in the context of Perestroika.
