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. Bold pigments and vivid patterns come together in simple and rustic spaces, resulting in a way of living that is both invigorating and homely; an authentic Mexican style.
The dynamic writer and photographer duo Barbara and Rene Stoeltie have struck gold again-this time with a truly breathtaking look at Mexico's most remarkable abodes. Traveling far and wide, from Costa Careyes to the Yucatan Peninsula, this photographic journey will surprise, delight, and inspire you.
From the home of Constructivist architect Luis Barragan, a restored 16th-century hacienda, to a traditional Mayan thatched-roof dwelling, the contrast of styles within the pages of this book are testament to the country's vibrantly diverse palette of textures and hues. 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.
OMA NY: Search Term
Well into its fourth decade, the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), founded by Rem Koolhaas in 1975, remains one of the most influential and successful practices of its kind. OMA describes itself as a firm operating within the traditional boundaries of architecture and urbanism that applies architectural thinking to domains beyond. The firm s impact on the way we live is undeniable.
OMA has transformed our understanding of the city and our evolving relationship with art, shopping, sustainability, and other quintessentially twenty-first-century preoccupations. The works presented here elaborate on OMA s philosophy even as they expand its portfolio geographically. Featured projects (helmed by partners Shohei Shigematsu and Jason Long) include residential skyscrapers in New York and San Francisco, mixed-use developments in Tokyo and Fukuoka, and the master plans for Facebook s Menlo Park campus, alongside more intimate spaces such as the studio for renowned Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang.
Permanent structures, such as Milstein Hall at Cornell University, the new galleries of Quebec s Musee National des Beaux-Arts, the Japan flagship of Coach, and the expansion of the New Museum in Manhattan, contrast vividly with temporary interventions such as the Manus x Machina exhibition at the Met Costume Institute and the soaring concrete columns of An Occupation of Loss.
Architektura kreativního myšlení
Jak se malá holka z komunistického Československa, již nadchl film Skleněné peklo s Paulem Newmanem v roli architekta navrhujícího mrakodrapy, dostala na stáž do San Franciska? A jak se později prosadila v oblasti, která přála především mužům?
Světově proslulá architektka Eva Le Peutrec vám ve své knize prozradí, jak vás mohou složité situace posunout, jak vše zlé přetavit v něco pozitivního a především jak je důležité používat kreativní myšlení. To je jí jako architektce vlastní a během let nalezla recept, jak si je osvojit. Recept, díky kterému připravovala projekty v Číně, v Paříži nebo v Nové Kaledonii.
Autorka dává v krátkých kapitolách nahlédnout nejen za oponu vlastních kreativních procesů, ale také do své minulosti. Čtenářům tak kromě jiného prozradí, proč jsou pro ni důležité sny, a zároveň jim popíše, jak se jeden takový sen realizoval.
Managing Energy Use in Modern Buildings: Case Studies in Conservation Practice
This collection of ten case studies addresses the unique challenges surrounding the improvement of energy consumption and thermal comfort in modern buildings built between 1931 and 1969 and offers valuable lessons for other structures facing similar issues. These buildings, international in scope and diverse in type, style, and size, range from the Shulman House, a small residence in Los Angeles, to the TD Bank Tower, a skyscraper complex in Toronto, and from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, a cultural venue in Lisbon, to the Van Nelle Factory in Rotterdam, now an office building. Showing ingenuity and sensitivity, the case studies consider improvements to such systems as heating, cooling, lighting, ventilation, and controls. They provide examples that demonstrate best practices in conservation and show ways to reduce carbon footprints, minimize impacts to historic materials and features, and introduce renewable energy sources, in compliance with energy codes and green-building rating systems.
The Conserving Modern Heritage series, launched in 2019, is written by architects, engineers, conservators, scholars, and allied professionals. The books in this series provide well-vetted cased studies that address the challenges of conserving twentieth century heritage. "

China: The New Creative Power in Architecture
The building culture of China is currently one of the most innovative and most adventurous in the world because of the bold ways architects approach materials and genres as well as forms and functions. At the same time, it offers the opportunity to implement the most daring designs in the shortest possible time, as both the expertise and the necessary manpower are available. While technology and tradition play an important role, so do sustainability and ecological concepts aiming at achieving a harmonious interplay between the respective building and its surroundings. This volume features a wide range of typologies, styles, and locations that have one thing in common - their architects come from China and make the world stop and take notice of their work. The author presents the most important and interesting contemporary offices and designers and their most significant projects at home and abroad.
Cities of Power
In this brilliant, very original survey of the politics and meanings of urban landscapes, leading sociologist Göran Therborn offers a tour of the world’s major capital cities, and the forces that have shaped them. Through a global, historical lens, and with a thematic range extending from the mutations of modernist architecture to the contemporary return of urban revolutions, Therborn questions received assumptions about the source, manifestations and reach of urban power, combining perspectives on politics, sociology, urban planning, architecture, and urban iconography. With its unique systematic overview, from Washington DC and revolutionary Paris to the flamboyant twenty-first century capital of Kazakhstan, its wealth of urban observations from all the populated continents, and its sharp and multi-faceted analyses, Cities of Power forces us to rethink our urban future, as well as our historically shaped present.
Christo and Jeanne-Claude. L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped
1961, three years after meeting Jeanne-Claude in Paris, Christo made a study of a mammoth project that would wrap one of the city's most emblematic monuments. 60 years, 25,000 square meters of recyclable fabric, and 3,000 meters of rope later, the artists' vision finally came true. Discover their posthumous installation with this book gathering photography, drawings, and a history of the project's making. Like most of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's work, L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped is temporary and runs for 16 days from Saturday, September 18 to Sunday, October 3, 2021.
Carried out in close collaboration with the Centre des Monuments Nationaux, the historic structure is wrapped in recyclable polypropylene fabric in silvery blue and recyclable red rope. The project is the posthumous realisation of a long-held dream for Christo and Jeanne-Claude, who first drew up plans to wrap the Arc de Triomphe in 1961 while renting a small room near the monument. Published as a tribute to the late artists and their lifelong partnership, the book includes original sketches, technical data, and exclusive photography, creating a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the genesis of this prodigious artwork.
Brno na přelomu 19. a 20. století / Brno at the turn of the twentieth century
Brněnská secese vyrostla v mnohotvárný a současně celistvý fenomén doby. Objevná poznání jednotlivých uměleckých disciplin tvoří celek překvapivé obsažnosti a výtvarné síly. Jakoby navzájem souzněly verše Neumannovy Knihy lesů vod a strání s geniální hudbou Leoše Janáčka a zářivou barevností obrazů Joži Úprky. Mají společnou schopnost hlubokého poznání přírody, země, krajiny a lidí. Architektura je přirozenou součástí hnutí i samostatnou tvůrčí silou, která vytvořila příznivé prostředí a spolehlivý rámec doby a její kultury. Svým výtvarným úsilím a charakteristickým stylem směřovala secese k nalezení výrazové jistoty a vytvoření slohu jako hodnověrné formy kultury společnosti. F. X. Šalda ve stati Nová krása z roku 1903 označil secesi jako nejvyšší kulturní hodnotu. Jako jednotuumění a života, která je výrazem nutnosti a nikoliv spekulací.
Dne 28. 7. 1914 se lidé probudili do děsivého rána. Rakousko-Uhersko se ocitlo uprostřed rozsáhlého válečného konfliktu, který ničil hodnoty dosavadní společnosti. Secese, založená na ušlechtilých principech se ocitla na hraně závratně probíhajícího rozpadu společenského a kulturního. Teprve po čtyřech letech válečného běsnění přišel nový začátek, založený však na odlišných základech nové vývojové epochy.

Skrytá krása detailu
Kniha představuje širokou paletu originální výtvarné výzdoby pražských staveb, navržených významným architektem Osvaldem Polívkou (18591931) v období kolem roku 1900, tedy v éře pozdního historismu a secese. Polívka je znám jako spoluautor Obecního domu a projektant řady bankovních paláců v centru české metropole, byl rovněž tvůrcem tzv. Nové radnice na Mariánském náměstí. Méně už je známo, že spolupracoval také s řadou pražských stavitelů, jako byli např. Václav Havel nebo Antonín Novotný, na projektech průčelí činžovních domů.
Podrobná fotografi cká dokumentace Pavla Hrocha nás seznamuje s desítkami pozoruhodných detailů, z nichž mnohých si návštěvník Prahy při zběžné prohlídce nepovšimne.
Kniha představuje architekta Polívku a jeho nevšední tvorbu a poté podrobně dokumentuje celky i detaily výzdoby jeho pražských realizací z období 18911922. V Dodatcích nechybí soupis všech jeho staveb, curriculum vitae a slovníček jeho spolupracujících výtvarníků a architektů.

Kengo Kuma: Complete Works 1988-Today
After Tadao Ando, Toyo Ito, and Fumihiko Maki, Kengo Kuma has breathed renewed vigor and lightness into Japanese architecture. Departing from the modernist skyscraper of the 20th century, Kuma traveled through his native Japan to develop a truly sustainable approach, translating local craftsmanship and resources into site-specific, timely buildings. Informed by tradition, and with both feet firmly planted in the present, this "materialist" heralds a new tactile architecture marked by its engaging surfaces, innovative structures, and fluid forms, reconnecting people with the physicality of a house. Kuma's objective, above all else, is "just to respect the culture and environment of the place where I am working."
To this end, Kuma shaped the China Academy of Art's Folk Art Museum partially from discarded roof tiles; created a Chapel out of birch and moss in Nagano; and worked with local craftsmen to sculpt the V&A Dundee into a twisted, layered reflection of the Scottish coastal cliffs. With an extraordinary sensitivity for space, light, and texture, Kuma reveals unexpected qualities in materials, finding the weightlessness of stone in Chokkura Plaza and the softness of aluminum in the thatched roof of the Yangcheng Lake Tourist Transportation Center.
More recently, the architect brought his philosophy to the Japan National Stadium built for the Olympic Games, originally planned for 2020. Kuma has said the stadium could be "the catalyst that will transform Tokyo back from a concrete city. I want it to set an example that will help alter the direction of Japanese architectural design."
In this XXL-sized monograph with some 500 illustrations spanning photographs, sketches, and plans, Kuma guides us through his entire career to date, detailing milestone projects as well as ongoing works.
Soon also available as an Art Edition with a custom-built wooden slipcase and accompanied by a photogravure of a sketch by Kengo Kuma, signed by the artist and limited to 200 copies.
Living in Japan
So rich and unique is traditional Japanese architecture that it's nearly impossible to improve upon. Yet contemporary Japanese designers and architects keep finding fresh approaches to refurbish and take inspiration from the ways of old.

25 Concepts in Modern Architecture
Designed to appeal to visual thinkers, 25 Concepts in Modern Architecture explores the fundamental ideas behind architectural design, through easy-to-follow sketches, drawings and succinct explanations.
Twenty-five concepts - each of which are key to architectural design thinking - are accessibly explained by examining twenty-five different masterworks of modern architecture. For example, the concept of 'movement' in architectural design is explained through a close look at a Le Corbusier building; 'transparency' is examined in Philip Johnson's seminal Glass House; 'asymmetry' is understood through the work of Zaha Hadid - and so on, through twenty-five core concepts and twenty-five of the most significant buildings of the modern era.
Taking a highly-visual approach, this simple yet visually-powerful guide is an essential companion in the design studio and to introductory courses in modern architecture, interior architecture, and interior design.
Understanding these concepts will provide a key to demystifying the greatest works in modern architectural history, inspire new ways to think about new design projects, and reveal how drawing and sketching are used as tools for the visual analysis of architecture.

Airport Wayfinding
Airports are places with multi-layered identities that millions of people pass through and where cultures meet: On the one hand, the history and the design heritage of the particular country can be identified and local characteristics are intensified and reinforced almost stereotypically. On the other hand, airports represent hypermodern functional environments in which processes are internationally standardized and maximally efficient, with a strong emphasis on entertainment and consumption. Guidance systems navigate people through airports. The graphic language creates an image in the viewer’s head carrying the respective identity in its own compact form through color, fonts, and pictograms. The authors, both specialists in the field, decipher this identity and trace its emergence and evolution over the decades. From the perspective of information design, they examine and analyze the wayfinding systems of approximately 70 airports by aligning their identities and functions.
Opravy historických staveb
V poslední době se při opravách starých staveb setkávám stále častěji s názory na řešení dílčích problémů, které jsou mylné, stavbě neprospívají a mnohdy ani neodpovídají fyzikálním zákonům. Mnoho lidí opravuje své staré domy (leckdy svépomocí), a to je pole pro vznik a šíření laických řešení. Lidé se spíše poradí se sousedem nebo na sociálních sítích než s odborníkem.
Není to problém jen současnosti, už v 1. století po Kristu o tom psal klasik stavitelství a architektury Vitruvius:„… nikdo se nepokouší provádět doma nějaké jiné umění, např. ševcovské, valchářské nebo něco z ostatních, jež jsou snadnější, leda stavitelství…“ Proto jsem se rozhodl napsat knížku, ve které bych chtěl využít dlouholeté zkušenosti s opravami a obnovou starých staveb a pokusil se upozornit na mylné názory, se kterými se setkáváme. Věřím, že vám tato kniha pomůže vyvarovat se omylů, kterých jsem se dopouštěl (a možná stále dopouštím) i já. Jan Vinař
