Cesty k novému stavebnímu slohu
Stavbou prvního Goetheana založil Rudolf Steiner nový stavební sloh, nový, převratný směr architektury. V přednáškách vysvětluje jeho principy, které vycházejí z naléhavých potřeb současné epochy ve vývoji lidstva, a ukazuje též zákonitosti vývoje architektury jako takové. Kromě toho si všímá umění reliéfu, estetických zákonů forem a prožívání vnitřní síly barev. Kniha je vybavena řadou fotografií dokumentujících vznik organické anthroposofické architektury.
Zóna setkávání
V Česku, podobně jako v ostatních evropských zemích, stoupají požadavky na kvalitu veřejných prostranství a uličních prostorů. Uplatňování zón setkávání (sdílených prostorů) může být v řadě případů optimální reakcí na požadavky aplikace principů trvale udržitelné mobility a podpory pěší dopravy. Zóna setkávání (sdílený prostor) je urbanisticko-dopravní koncept založený na využívání prostoru ulice či veřejného prostranství všemi módy funkčního využití a dopravy. Jejich zavádění má za cíl především návrat k původnímu vnímání ulice jako prostoru pro veřejný život obyvatel, nikoli jako prvku dopravní infrastruktury. Pomáhá vytvářet podmínky pro vyváženost společenské, ekonomické, pobytové i dopravní funkce uličního prostoru. Úspěšné příklady ze zahraničí dokazují, že realizací zón setkávání dochází ke snížení rychlosti a zklidnění motorové dopravy, zvýšení bezpečnosti všech uživatelů prostoru, zvýšení efektivity využití uličního prostoru, zvýšení úrovně socializace a komunitní aktivity, zvýšení atraktivity ulice jako veřejného prostranství, zlepšení životního prostředí, oživení parteru a k podpoře lokální ekonomiky. Přestože přínosy zón setkávání (sdílených prostorů) jsou v praxi ověřené mnoha úspěšnými zahraničními realizacemi, v českém prostředí dosud neexistují. Umožněním jejich systematické realizace ve vhodných lokalitách může dojít ke zvýšení bezpečnosti provozu, podpoře udržitelné městské mobility a zvýšení kvality života obyvatel měst a obcí. Tato publikace přináší komplexní pohled na problematiku zón setkávání (sdílených prostorů), jejich urbanistický i dopravně-inženýrský kontext. Obsahuje výsledky rozsáhlé rešerše právních norem, technických norem a příkladů dobré praxe ve vybraných evropských zemích, popis situace v Česku i shrnutí zásad navrhování a projektování zón setkávání (sdílených prostorů).

It features wonderfully engaging stories and anecdotes about Pawson's work with such clients as Bruce Chatwin, Calvin Klein, Karl Lagerfeld, Shiro Kuramata, Martha Stewart, and many more. The book features documents, photography and ephemera, including never-seen-before images from Pawson's personal and professional archives - richly illustrated, this is the ultimate book on John Pawson.
Julius Shulman. Modernism Rediscovered
The buildings burned in our memories, which to us represent the spirit of ’50s and ’60s architectural design, were those whose pictures were widely published in magazines and books; but what about those that got lost in the process, hardly or never appearing in publication?
The exchange of visual information is crucial to the development, evolution, and promotion of architectural movements. If a building is not widely seen, its photograph rarely or never published, it simply does not enter into architectural discourse. Many buildings photographed by Julius Shulman suffered this fate, their images falling into oblivion. With this book, TASCHEN brings them to light, paying homage to California Modernism in all its forms.
The abandoned files of Julius Shulman show us another side of Modernism that has stayed quiet for so many years. Bringing together nearly 300 forgotten masterpieces, Modernism Rediscovered pays tribute to these lesser known yet outstanding contributions to the modern architectural movement. It’s like sneaking into a private history, into homes that have rarely been seen and hardly appreciated as of yet.
The Brutalists
An unprecedented survey of more than 250 architects who continue to define one of the most polarizing yet celebrated of styles
Brutalist architecture inspires a passionate response, be it adulation or contempt. There is no disputing, however, that the style produces some of the world’s most breathtaking buildings. This landmark volume documents the movement as never before, by profiling the architects behind the style.
Featuring more than 250 historic and contemporary architects (organised alphabetically) along with specially selected examples of their work, this book includes international icons alongside those who are less well known or who have for too long been neglected, providing a unique record of this influential global architecture movement. The book includes 350 stunning images of more than 200 iconic Brutalist buildings, alongside fresh and surprising masterworks from 1936 to the present day, creating the ultimate companion to the Brutalist masters.

Krása českých hřbitovů - Pod křídly andělů
Básník Filip Skoumal o své fotografické prvotině říká:
„Když jsme šli s matkou v roce 2021 zapálit svíčku tátovi na Nový židovský hřbitov Olšany, při krásné cestě podél stromů mne okouzlily půvabné stíny a židovské hrobky, které jsem si začal fotit. Byl jsem fascinován neviditelnou něhou a klidem, které na mě v těchto místech v onom chladném podzimu působily. Od té doby objíždím další a další české hřbitovy, na kterých hledám klid, inspiraci, ale i romantiku. To vše jako básník potřebuji k životu.“
Brutalist Paris
Brutalist Paris is the first thoroughly researched, English language study of Parisian brutalist architecture. It constructs a unique photographic record of over 50 buildings across Paris and brings a new interpretation of brutalism in the French context. The book is the result of many journeys, from the Parisian centre to its outer peripheries, and situates brutalism within the broader social, political and cultural context of Paris. It describes brutalism's successes and failures in Paris, from an architecture of monumental urban form to intricately crafted living spaces; from valued, historic monuments to abandoned ruins
Warehouse Home
A global overview of the most contemporary and ingenious - and comfortable - former light-industrial spaces transformed into stylish modern residences.
The love of warehouse buildings - often in attractive waterside locations - has become a global phenomenon, from London to New York, from Sydney to Florence. Drawing on her own experience of living in a Grade II listed mill, Sophie Bush has amassed a wealth of knowledge, contacts and understanding about which ingredients make a building fit for contemporary habitation.
Warehouse Home is the ultimate resource for everything from how best to preserve and complement original architectural features to style ideas for adapting vintage and reclaimed pieces for modern living. The book has a practical structure, broken down into two key sections. 'Architectural Features' looks at how to make the most of a space while retaining its features, such as exposed brickwork, concrete floors and mezzanines.
It also draws on examples of former industrial buildings across the world that have been renovated to create distinctive homes and workspaces, each selected for the originality or intelligence of its design. 'Decorative Details' provides tips on how to recreate the warehouse aesthetic in any home, from repurposing pallets and breeze blocks as furniture to transforming exhaust cones into unique lighting fixtures. A reference section includes ideas on where to source everything from furniture to finishes.
Small Houses
A Small House is a tribute to the endless artistic inventiveness of architects and ingenuity of perception of the familiar and known concepts. It is also a conscious pivot towards sustainability and reduction of impact on the environment as well as a daring attitude of change in lifestyle. As humanity faces inevitable pressures such as climate change, an increase in population, and strain on resources, these solutions are helping shape what the world may look like in the future.Whether in the dense urban areas of Tokyo, the wilderness of Australia, the woods of Canada, or a rooftop in Ecuador, this is the world of Small Houses. The one common point they share, is that they all have an area of no more than 100 square meters. Spanning 25 countries such as Brazil, Hungary, South Korea, Netherlands, USA, Japan, and Australia, described here there are houses designed by 57 architects, including Takeshi Hosaka's Love2 House, Aranza de Arino's Casa Tiny, and the work of Jakub Szczesny, Charles Pictet, Lada Hršak, BIG, and Fran Silvestre, among others. This is a journey not only through recent evolutions in architectural design and creativity, but it is also a step toward a more sustainable world.
Where Architects Stay at the Baltic Sea
The Baltic Sea has gained rapidly in importance as a travel destination in recent years. More and more people appreciate the diversity found among urban designer hubs, sleepy and cozy villages, and ever-changing coastal strips. The new volume in the series on design retreats shows destinations away from mass tourism with a focus around the Great Belt.
Both an architectural and a travel guide, this volume offers inspiration and promises to fulfill the longing for peace, solitude and variety - for holidays spent at a farmstead on the dyke, above the sea on a crane, or in a fancy loft in Copenhagen. The common denominators among all accommodations presented here are a convincing design and a special location by the Baltic Sea.

Slow Living
The concept of slow living translates architecturally into interior spaces that slow down the frenetic pace of modern life, whether at the seaside, in a country village or in the middle of a big city. They seek wellbeing in everyday life; they favour observation, enjoyment, reflection and calm. The interiors of these homes are an alternative to the urgency of modern life and are oriented towards simplicity, conscious consumption and the natural rhythm of things.
This book presents a selection of the work by architects and interior designers from around the world who seek through their work to create environments for an unhurried life.
Living in Tuscany. 40th Ed.
Under the burning Tuscan sun roll marvelous hills, vineyards, and olive groves-all postcard-perfect landscapes nestling centuries-old towns, rural villas, and contadino farmhouses. We've tracked down the best examples of such havens to paint a warm-hued picture of the look and feel of Tuscan living. Follow in Michelangelo's footsteps to the Eremo Santa Maria Maddalena, a medieval hermitage nestled in the steep Arezzo hillside. Take a dip in the California-style pool of Roberto Budini Gattai, the architect who turned a modest winegrower's house into a dazzling homage to David Hockney. Cool down in the tiled bedrooms of the Villa Villoresi, where, legend has it, Dante's wife took refuge during the poet's exile in the early 14th century. This collection gathers the region's most remarkable homes and interiors, complete with insightful captions and enthralling double spreads. Across contemporary architecture and traditional craftsmanship, minimal earthenware and decadent furniture, we discover all the natural tones and sun-kissed textures of Tuscany.
Living in Provence. 40th Ed.
Nestled in the south of France, bordering the Mediterranean Sea, is a land renowned for its lavender fields, fine cuisine, golden sun, and dreamy landscapes. The region of Provence has inspired such masters as Alphonse Daudet and Vincent van Gogh. So enthralled was Paul Cézanne by the Mont Sainte-Victoire that he immortalized it in a series of paintings. We enter his Provence studio, which still looks the same as it did over a century ago, as well as the house where Frédéric Mistral, 1904 Nobel Prize winner, lived and wrote. We also admire the wrought-iron staircase and embroidered curtains of the Hotel Nord-Pinus in Arles, which hosted the likes of Napoleon III, Jean Cocteau, and Picasso. Across picturesque villages perched atop rocky hillsides, quaint gardens filled with olive trees and the heady scent of lavender, tiled rooftop terraces and warm, ochre tones: this book gathers the region's most remarkable homes and interiors and paints a gorgeous picture of Provençal living.
Reclaimed
Bricks can be cleaned, timber hardens with age and metal develops a pleasing patina without deteriorating, making them all perfect for reuse. Yet every day more building materials are being manufactured from virgin resources. This inspiring book focuses on contemporary homes made with reused components or materials that might once have been considered waste. Divided into four key categories - brick, timber, metal and a range of materials constituted from waste - every home showcases design ingenuity and award-winning architecture.
Featuring 24 unique houses and apartments, from a barn-inspired house made entirely with reclaimed bricks to a semi-detached Edwardian with recycled benchtops and cabinets made from plastic chopping boards and bottle tops, every project shows what can be achieved with creativity and flair as clever design becomes more closely aligned with ethics and sustainability.
With advice on how to source existing resources and support a circular economy, Reclaimed is a valuable guide for anyone planning to build or renovate a stylish new home.
