Libraries Architecture
In the past decade, the increasing requirements of the multimedia world have substantially increased the demands placed on libraries. They have gone through a transformation from introverted collections of bookish knowledge to globally networked information administrators and communication brokers. Today, public and academic libraries have to offer their users constantly advancing digital search possibilities coupled with enough spaces for concentrated reading.
Architects have to approach library projects from multiple perspectives. Whether new buildings, conversions or extensions, this book shows the diversity of the design and building tasks in order to comply with the very latest technology requirements and cultural demands within a library space.
Adolf Loos
The must-have monograph on one of modern architecture's most influential figures, long a rarity and now available in an expanded and updated edition
Viennese architect Adolf Loos was influential among his fellow early modernists not only for his radical designs but for his controversial ideology and famously militant opposition to ornament. Loos approached architecture from a primarily utilitarian perspective: he believed that interiors should be designed according to function, taking full advantage of the size and space of a building.
In this definitive monograph, a true labor of love, architect Ralf Bock seeks to reveal the sensuality of Loos' interior designs, focusing on his sincere belief in the evolution of tradition. The book explores 30 existing projects from Loos' oeuvre, documented in 160 full-color images by the celebrated French photographer Phillippe Ruault. Along with materials from the Loos archive at the Albertina Museum Vienna, these photographs and Bock's commentary provide a new interpretation of Loos' work and encourage the reintroduction of his ideology into the contemporary architectural conversation. Profiles of Loos' original clients and interviews with people who currently inhabit his designs round out this unique publication.
Adolf Loos (1870-1933) was a radical figure in his time: his critique of the Vienna Secession and advocacy for utilitarian design greatly influenced the less ornamental approaches to architecture among subsequent modernist designers. He studied briefly at Dresden University of Technology and delivered his famous lecture "Ornament and Crime" at the Academic Association for Literature and Music in 1910. His most recognizable building is the multipurpose Looshaus at Michaelerplatz in Vienna, characterized by the numerous window boxes on the building's façade.
Come Together: The Architecture of Multigenerational Living
Multiple generations of the same family living under one roof is not a new idea. But what is new is the way architects around the world are re-embracing this form of living, back by increasingly popular demand. While the 20th century experience emphasized a single-family home for the nuclear family and bachelor pads, we are now seeing more tiers of the family unit choosing to live together. Come Together explores the why, the what, the where and, perhaps most importantly, the how of the homes that succeed to be livable for all generational tiers - with designs that are not only architecturally stunning, but balancing private and communal spaces to come together.
Slavné vily českých prezidentů
Osobnosti českých, respektive československých prezidentů, počínaje Masarykem a konče Zemanem, jsou natolik odlišné, že se snad ani nechce věřit v nějaké příbuzné genetické kořeny. Jejich politické životopisy jsou dostatečně známy, méně se však literatura věnuje tomu, jací byli v soukromí, když se nemuseli stylizovat a neviděly je oči národa. S tím samozřejmě souvisí i místa KDE žili, jaké bylo jejich rodinné zázemí. Václav Junek si získal čtenáře už předchozí publikací Slavné vily slavných. Tato kniha na ni volně navazuje jen s tím rozdílem, že vniká do soukromí československých a českých prezidentů. Činí tak s autorovou schopností vyhmátnout ze soukromého života mužů, kteří tvořili naše dějiny, to podstatné. Čtivě tak představuje prezidenty a jejich rodiny ve chvílích, kdy se nemusejí stylizovat.
Velünk omló történelem
Hazánk ezer csodája mellett a kastélyromok földje. Ezerszám álltak hajdanán büszke kastélyok a történelmi Magyarországon, több száz került viharos történelmünk miatt végveszélybe, és legalább ennyi lett a földdel egyenlővé. Elpusztult és romos kastélyoknak állít emléket a könyv legalább száz egykori magyar nemesi rezidencia képével és több száz említésével a történelmi Magyarország területéről. Számba veszi a hajdani úri lakok építéstörténetét, és megismertet minket egykori tulajdonosaival.
A kastélyok pusztulása gyakran krimibe illő történet, amelynek pontos részleteit az idők során sem tisztázódtak. Mai napig nem tudjuk, hogyan és miért lobbant lángra, és égett porig az alcsúti, egykori Habsburg-kastély, a Pollack Mihály tervezte épület hazánk egyik legjelentősebb klasszicista magánépülete volt. A tragédia idején is találgatták, vajon ki gyújtotta fel a rédei Esterházy-kastély évszázados faszerkezetét, amelynek fazsindelyeit a barokk épület iránti tiszteletből féltő gonddal őrizte meg egykori tulajdonosa, gróf Esterházy Pál.

Cabin Fever : Enchanting Cabins, Shacks, and Hideaways
Nestled in thriving woodlands, overlooking bodies of water, or even exposed to the elements on a mountain's peak, architects are contending to create high-impact spaces on a small scale. Cabin Fever takes a broad look at remote retreats designed to make the most of their natural surroundings and illustrates why the call of the wild is louder than ever. A desire to escape the commotion of the city without sacrificing creature comforts is something felt by many; especially in today's interconnected world. Featuring rustic timber cabins on stilts, mirrored pods in the woods, and otherworldly off-grid getaways, Cabin Fever showcases a new wave of modern hideaways, all remotely positioned and away from the hustle and bustle.
Alexander Calder: Minimal Maximal
Few artists are able to work successfully on both large and small scales, but throughout his career Calder brilliantly moved from the miniature to the monumental and back again. This publication focuses on the enormous stabiles he created mostly for public places, as well as his elegant hanging mobiles in sheet metal, miniature standing mobiles, and chess sets, shedding light on the social and performative aspects of his work. Essays explore how Calder approached the effects of kinetics and space, solidity and transparency, stasis and activity, volume and void. The book also looks at how Calder's small-scale sculptures echoed the public spectacle of his larger pieces, creating a "private drama" that encouraged direct participation. Whatever the size, Calder's works employed movement and interaction in unpredictable ways, and this enlightening book helps readers appreciate the important continuity of his oeuvre.

Historická a současná architektura
Existuje rozdíl mezi historickou a současnou architekturou? Historická architektura je často vnímána jako samostatná, uzavřená etapa výstavby, ke které máme jako společnost poněkud ambivalentní vztah. Považujeme ji za součást kulturního dědictví, jejíž ochranu a obnovu svěřujeme specialistům, zároveň její ochranu často vnímáme jako překážku dalšího rozvoje a uplatnění současných požadavků na užívání domů. Mnozí v ní nehledají příležitost ani inspiraci, namísto její obnovy volí jednodušší cestu k současným, často mnohem méně osobitým a kvalitním formám. Tato kniha je stručným shrnutím zkušeností z přípravy a realizace téměř stovky projektů rekonstrukcí, obnovy a dostaveb památkově chráněných staveb, souborů a území, převážně na půdorysu Pražské památkové rezervace a v památkových zónách nebo areálech ve středních Čechách. Je příspěvkem k dialogu o hledání podstaty, kvality a hodnot architektury jako takové, bez ohledu na to, v které době byla vytvořena. Ostatně, také termín historická architektura je podle autora relativní. Pravděpodobně každý architekt se totiž dožije toho, že jeho práce, kdysi současná a aktuální, je posuzována měřítkem času a srovnávána se stavbami o mnoho staršími i mladšími.

Piano. Complete Works 1966-Today
Renzo Piano rose to international prominence with his co-design of the Pompidou Center in Paris, described by The New York Times as a building that "turned the architecture world upside down." Since then, he has continued to craft such iconic cultural spaces as the Modern Wing of the Art Institute of Chicago and, more recently, the Whitney Museum of American Art, an asymmetric nine-story structure in Manhattan's Meatpacking District with both indoor and outdoor galleries. In London, the Piano touch has also transformed the skyline with the Shard.
At the age of 84, the Italian maestro retains all of his enthusiasm and kindness-and his recent roster is more impressive than ever. As he confided to the author, "I think at a certain age, one can discover that there is what the French call the 'fil rouge,' a kind of red thread that relates one building to another over time. In my case, I believe it is about lightness and the art of building." From freshly built museums in Athens and Santander; ongoing works in Lisbon, London, Toronto, and Geneva; to such humanitarian projects as the Emergency Children's Surgical Hospital in Entebbe, Uganda, and the Children's Hospice in Bologna, Italy, Piano's career is a thrilling journey through the beauty and very essence of architecture.
Based on the massive XXL monograph, this widely updated edition brings the architect's definitive career overview to an accessible format and is illustrated by photographs, sketches, and plans.
Living in Mexico. 40th Ed
South of the border, rich colors and woven textiles form a unique design aesthetic, crafted by the union of local Aztec and Mayan cultures and Spanish influences.

With many new images, some never published before, prepare to be transported to the heart of lush and eclectic Mexico.
Architecture at the Heart of the Home
Increasingly, domestic architecture has sought to enhance everyday life by providing resonant settings that reflect the human need for comfort, safety and connection. A house has walls and ceilings, and perhaps a garden, but beyond that, there is always that one part of a home that becomes a place of belonging, around which people gather.
Architecture at the Heart of the Home showcases those special places and features that make a residence unique. Of course, there are kitchen and dining areas, but a home's heart can also be the physical link between the interior and the exterior, a view, a particular room, or even an architectural feature: a pool that reflects the sky overhead, windows that frame a panoramic vista, or a building's position in the landscape.
The projects in this book are not necessarily grand in scale, but all reveal extraordinary settings that fill the heart with joy and the soul with happiness - the places where memories are made.
Still Lives
Noted photographer Leslie Williamson s latest book presents the homes and studios from a group of renowned artists, ranging from Barbara Hepworth to Joan Miro. Documented in her inimitable atmospheric style, the images capture how these artists lived and worked. Williamson s images reveal not only these artists creative process as viewed through their studios, but also shows how they manifested their creativity in the stylish interiors and the personal touches in the spaces they called home. The spaces featured range from Vanessa Bell s proto shabby chic home Charleston in southern England to Andrew Wyeth s Yankee-chic farmhouse in Pennsylvania. Taken together, Still Lives is a must-have document to inspire and illuminate for art lovers, interiors enthusiasts, and the cultured reader.
Dig it! Building Bound to the Ground
Building is one of very few endeavours that are physically connected to the surface of the earth, fixed and enduring. Nevertheless, for centuries, especially in the West, we have considered ourselves separate and above nature, drifting away, defining our own systems and order, and using the ground as a nothing more than a passive foundation. Other times we sought connection, drawing on nature for ritual and religion, fortified protection, and ecological balance.
This global compendium of nearly 1,400 pages brings architecture back in harmony with Earth's surface. For years, Bjarne Mastenbroek and his architectural firm, SeARCH, have delved into the relationship architecture has, had, and will have with its surroundings, seeing buildings as landscapes that fit into their site without dominating or disturbing it. For Dig It!, they have dug deep into the history of building culture and brought to light fascinating examples of this philosophy-some well known, some previously overlooked.
From African churches chiseled from rock and Chinese villages dug into terrains to Parisian housing vibrantly overgrown and a villa built into the cliffs of Capri (famously featured in the film Le Mepris starring Brigitte Bardot), this book dissects structures from the past millennia. Part atlas, part encyclopedia, it highlights traditional vernacular practices, reconsiders all-time favorites, and celebrates contemporary examples across the globe. Designed by Mevis & Van Deursen, the extensive collection features analytical drawings from SeARCH and photo essays by Iwan Baan.
Dig It! acknowledges an effort to reconnect architecture and landscape and merge building with ground. Separated into six chapters (or "strategies")-Bury, Embed, Absorb, Spiral, Carve, and Mimic-this remarkable survey reveals humanity's connection to the earth through building culture: clever and utterly relevant for the challenges that we have and will face in both urban and natural environments.
