Káprázatos helyek, festői tájak, ámulatba ejtő épületek nemcsak a mesékben léteznek, hanem a valóságban is. Földünk csak egy aprócska bolygó az óriási világegyetemben, ugyanakkor varázslatosan egyedülálló, gazdagon bővelkedik izgalmas vidékekben, hangulatos településekben és a fizika törvényeivel dacoló építményekben.
A "Lenyűgöző nagyvilág"-sorozatunkkal egy olyan különleges utazáson vehet részt, ahol megismerheti az anyatermészet és az emberi kéz munkájának ámulatba ejtő alkotásait. Gyönyörködjön ezek szépségeiben, ismerje meg történelmüket és legendáikat, és hagyja, hogy a lélegzetelállító képek inspirálják és energiával töltsék fel.
The Mediterranean Home
With their understated beauty and holistic design, Mediterranean homes are a perennial source of inspiration. The Mediterranean Home has an ongoing influence on residential architecture and interior design: from classical to rural styles to more grounded spaces that interweave form and function. Blending the inside and the outside, bringing together traditional features with contemporary elements, Mediterranean houses connect with their environments and the local culture. The Mediterranean Home looks at architecture, at interior design, decoration and furniture, at how vegetation and rock provide both shade and colorful warmth. It showcases old buildings converted into modern homes in various regions and coastal hinterlands and celebrates the unique Mediterranean aesthetic that continues to inspire a sense of home and comfort around the globe.

Fenomén Jože Plečnik
Kniha Fenomén Jože Plečnik je už třetí publikací v řadě „Fenomén“ nakladatelství Grada. Její ambicí je představovat populárním způsobem významné architekty s českými kořeny nebo realizacemi na českém území. Zájemce právě dostává do ruky obrazově výpravnou publikaci o jednom z výjimečných zjevů evropské a také české, resp. československé architektury. Slovinec Jože Plečnik zanechal svou stopu ve Vídni a především v Lublani, kde dostal příležitost realizovat řadu architektonických děl ve městě, které bylo na konci 19. století silně poničeno rozsáhlým zemětřesením.
Zároveň je ovšem jeho vliv velmi viditelný i v Čechách, přesněji přímo v Praze. Setkání s prvním československým prezidentem Tomášem G. Masarykem, „zosnované“ Plečnikovým přítelem, architektem Janem Kotěrou, přineslo zásadní změny v koncepci přestavby Pražského hradu, který se tak znovu stal důstojným sídlem nové hlavy nového státu. Plečnik jako člověk silně věřící celoživotně pracoval na sakrálních stavbách ve Vídni i v Lublani, v Praze je pak jeho nepominutelnou stopou kostel Nejsvětějšího srdce Páně na Královských Vinohradech.
Těch „královských“ atributů je u této stavby ale více. Také o tom se dočtete v naší knize, doprovozené aktuálními i dobovými fotografiemi a především – jako v celé dosavadní ediční řadě – kresbami architekta a propagátora architektury Davida Vávry.

Soviet Playgrounds
A photographic survey of Soviet-era playgrounds found in former members of the USSR, such as Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.
Through five chapters containing more than 150 photographs, the book documents the mass-produced, yet diverse play equipment installed in the communal spaces of socialist-era housing estates, such as rocket slides and earth-shaped climbers, spaceships and animal-themed ladders, cosmic roundabouts and bizarre objects that would probably raise safety concerns nowadays.
From Riga to Dushanbe and all the way from Kyiv to Vladivostok, children dreamt of becoming cosmonauts, and enjoyed the many space-themed playscapes which had proliferated since the onset of the Cold War era. While some are still in use, others are slowly disappearing to make way for modern equipment, or, more recently, being destroyed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, becoming only a faint memory of a Soviet childhood.
Includes a foreword by the Ukrainian urban planner Mykola Gorokhov and informative maps of the playgrounds featured in every chapter. Pictures were taken by Zupagrafika, with contributions by local photographers.
Kandinsky: Incarnating Beauty
A teacher to Jacques Lacan, André Breton, and Albert Camus, Koj?ve defined art as the act of extracting the beautiful from objective reality. His poetic text, “The Concrete Paintings of Kandinsky,” endorses nonrepresentational art as uniquely manifesting beauty. Taking the paintings of his renowned uncle, Wassily Kandinsky, as his inspiration, Kojeve suggests that in creating (rather than replicating) beauty, the paintings are themselves complete universes as concrete as the natural world. Koj?ve’s text considers the utility and necessity of beauty in life, and ultimately poses the involuted question: What is beauty?
Including personal letters between Kandinsky and his nephew, this book further elaborates the unique relationship between artist and philosopher. An introduction by Boris Groys contextualizes Kojeve’s life and writings.
Ettore Sottsass
Phaidon's much-loved monograph on the legendary Italian designer and architect, Ettore Sottsass
The re-release of this highly acclaimed title demonstrates the continual fascination, from both fans and collectors, with the life and work of Italian architect and designer Ettore Sottsass. The designer's work is popular and influential in equal measure, from his designs for Olivetti (such as the striking, bright red, manual typewriter, the Valentine, with its ingenious carry-case) to the post-modern brilliance of the work of the Memphis Group, founded by Sottsass in Milan in 1980.
Packed with beautiful images taken from the extensive Sottsass archives and including drawings and sketches from the designer's countless sketchbooks, the book explores his entire career from the 1940s to the 2000s, covering everything from his architectural projects and product design to his ceramics, sculpture, and graphics.

Stempel - Tesař - Bažant family houses/rodinné domy
Úchvatné rodinné domy architektů Jána Stempela a Jana Jakuba Tesaře můžete nyní poznat zcela jinak. Jejich autoři vás vezmou na nevšední průzkum svých dosud nerealizovaných staveb.

Walter Gropius, An Illustrated Biography
A stunning visual biography of the life of Walter Gropius, founder of the Bauhaus, and one of the world's most influential architects

Homes for Our Time. Contemporary Houses around the World. Vol. 2
Climate, environment, history, and technology are transforming architecture worldwide. The second volume in the Homes for Our Time series documents this housing revolution. What role do homes play in our endangered world? How can they innovate?
In Sri Lanka, Palinda Kannangara created the Frame Holiday Structure on a budget of $ 40,000. Built from steel scaffolding, exposed brick, and wood floors, the house can be easily disassembled and moved, adapting to the reality of the nearby floodplain. Luciano Lerner Basso's Fortunata House in Brazil accommodates the surrounding nature: it was built around a tree of an endangered species and sits upon stilts so as not to disturb the forest floor. Miller Hull's Loom House near Seattle has been called "the world's most environmentally ambitious home renovation" because of its reliance on recycled materials and its efficient energy use.
Modern architectural history has been viewed primarily from a Western perspective and formed by men. More than 60 buildings from Vietnam, South Africa, India, China, and beyond-designed by men, women, and collectives-mark the end of this era. There is no longer a predominant style, and there probably never will be again. With photos by renowned architectural photographers, and precise descriptions as well as drawings from architectural offices, Philip Jodidio charts the diverse, sustainable architecture of the future. The private homes featured range from modest to extravagant. A beautiful house is always also a dream-and this book invites you to do just that.
