Architectural Styles
Gothic, Romanesque, Modernist, Metabolist... The variety of styles through architectural history can be bewildering. Whether it be a Gothic crocket or a simple Modernist join, this book illustrates all the key architectural styles from around the world using beautiful, specially commissioned drawings to identify key features and details.
It begins with the earliest styles of the ancient civilizations - Egypt, Greece and Rome - before travelling through Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque and into the modern world via the panoply of 19th century revivalist styles. Also covered is the traditional architecture of China, India, Japan and Pre-Columbian America. A final section gathers together key architectural elements from different periods - columns, towers, doorways, windows.
Filled with hundreds of drawings by an expert architectural illustrator, this book is ideal for anyone with a general interest in architecture as well as for students.
Gio Ponti
To study Gio Ponti's prolific body of work is to appreciate the clear, unifying vision behind a complex creative universe. A synthesis of the arts, his creations expand intuitively with the Italian grandeur and studied lightness that defined his iconic style. Ponti's rare capacity to move seamlessly between scales allowed him to approach the design of a teaspoon with the same conviction as he did an entire city. He was as much an architect and designer as he was a publisher, poet, and man. A treasure in its own regard, his contribution is also a distinctive landmark of Italy's mid-century Renaissance and the modernist values it sought to realize.
This new book is the most comprehensive account of Ponti's work to date, unprecedented in scale and scope. It tracks the development of his oeuvre over 6 decades, with 136 projects indexed and reproduced in high resolution, each object framed by the context in which Ponti had created it. Like windows onto his elusive life, unpublished materials and candid imagery create new dialogues between his famous masterpieces and his lesser-known feats. A rich layer of texts, featuring an extensive biographical essay by Stefano Casciani, was produced in close collaboration with the Gio Ponti Archives offering an intimate insight on his life's work. Materializing Ponti's core philosophy of modernity, this book presents architecture as a performing object, a "self-illuminating" stage for his humanistic art de vivre and boundless creativity.
High On... Scandinavian Architects
Scandinavian design is a movement characterised by simplicity, minimalism and functionality that emerged in the early 20th century, and subsequently flourished in the 1950s throughout the five Nordic countries: Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland.
Scandinavian designers are known especially for household goods including furniture, textiles, ceramics, lamps, and glass, but Scandinavian design has been extended to be an influential movement in architecture and industrial design.
High On...Scandinavian Architects presents twenty-eight architects from Scandinavia with their latest projects from the areas of residential, commercial and public buildings. Whether large or small, sharp-edged or soft, coarse or fine, the architecture depicted in this volume is characterised by the iconoclastic flair of Scandinavia.
Budapest katolikus templomépítészete a két világháború között
Fabó Beáta, a könyv szerzője így vall munkájáról: "Ránézünk egy emberre és valamilyen benyomásunk keletkezik róla, csinos, okos, buta, semmilyen, vagy van kisugárzása. Amikor elkezd beszélni magáról, megismerjük a hátterét, a gondolatait, feltárul a világ, amely egy kimondott szó mögött rejtőzik. Kiléphetünk a sztereotípiákból, és sokkal árnyaltabb képet kapunk róla, jót vagy rosszat, de gazdagot.
Így van ez a két világháború közötti templomépítészet világával is. Ha megismerjük a meg nem valósult gondolatokat, a finomságokat és főleg a miérteket, akkor sokkal közelebb kerülhet hozzánk ez a templomépítészeti korszak. Nem jobb vagy rosszabb lesz a képünk róla, hanem árnyaltabb, ezáltal szerethetőbb."
A kötet mögött hatalmas levéltári és egyéb forrásfeltáró munka áll. A levéltári iratanyag közelsége Fabó Beáta számára lehetővé tette eddig kevésbé vagy egyáltalán nem kutatott irategyüttesek szisztematikus átnézését. Munkájában kiemelten foglalkozik a születendő templomok tervezési hátterével, az épületek elhelyezésével, városképben elfoglalt szerepével, a tervező megválasztásával, a stílus és anyag választásának okaival, az elhúzódó döntések hátterével. A szerző egyik fő célja volt, hogy a nagyszámú terv-és képanyag egyesítve, egy helyen megtalálható legyen. A kitűzött célt sikerült elérni: a tartalmában és kivitelezésében is impozáns kötet átfogó képet ad a két világháború közötti katolikus templomépítészetről, alapmunkának fog számítani a korszak egyházi építészetének kutatásához.
The Great Builders
The Great Builders surveys the careers of forty great architects whose engineering skills were crucial to their success. Sixteen nationalities and seven centuries of architectural innovation make for a survey of spectacular scope and depth: from churches and fortresses to bridges and high-tech skyscrapers, it includes masterpieces from all over the world and covers 700 years of architectural history.
Here is Brunelleschi, who built the 'unbuildable' dome of Florence Cathedral; Sinan, a Christian engineer who became chief architect to the Ottoman court; Joseph Paxton, scribbling down a design for the Crystal Palace, London, on a piece of blotting paper; and James Bogardus, an early American evangelist of the opportunities offered by cast-iron architecture.
Rapid advances in industrial production inspired experiments with new materials and techniques, gradually allowing a whole new architecture to emerge: reinforced concrete, plate glass and steel were central to the creations of Le Corbusier, Auguste Perret and Mies van der Rohe, for instance; and, in the High-Tech architecture of the present day - represented by Norman Foster, Frank Gehry and Santiago Calatrava, among others - computer-aided design has seemingly tested the boundaries of the possible.
Introduction to Architectural Technology
Understanding the relationship between design and technology is critical to the understanding of architecture. This book clearly explains the core aspects of architectural technology: structural physics, structural elements and forms, heating, lighting, environmental control and computer modelling. The third edition includes six new case studies, more on structural types, new information on construction detailing, passive building principles and designing for different climatic conditions. This essential introduction to architecture will help students to integrate their design thinking with the appropriate structural and environmental solutions.
The Architecture of Yemen and Its Reconstruction
First published in 2007, The Architecture of Yemen was the first book to offer an in-depth investigation into the characteristic architecture of country and the result of nearly two decades of research. This new, revised edition includes drawings, documentation and information on the building and reconstruction projects carried out from 2008 to 2014 at locations in Hadrumat and Dawan. Moving beyond the major cities, Salma Samar Damluji explores the architecture of regions that could be said to be the last strongholds of traditional Arab architecture. The Architecture of Yemen and its Reconstruction features a wealth of insights from both the master builders and home owners and contains photographs and surveyed drawings of many locations that are now extremely difficult to visit. It also examines in detail building techniques and methods little known outside of Yemen and includes well-known UNESCO World Heritage Sites as well as remarkable buildings from less-visited areas. Praise for The Architecture of Yemen Historians, planners and architects will find much useful detail in The Architecture of Yemen and the general reader much charm in the beguiling photos. In addition, those concerned by the rash of more recent and hasty development will find some hope for the inspiration of a new generation of master builders in Yemen and the Gulf.

Britains 100 Best Railway Stations
Discover the architectural gems that are Britain's 100 Best Railway Stations in this Sunday Times top 10 bestseller
'This is a cracker . . . a beautiful book' Chris Evans
It is the scene for our hopeful beginnings and our intended ends, and the timeless experiences of coming and going, meeting, greeting and parting. It is an institution with its own rituals and priests, and a long-neglected aspect of Britain's architecture. And yet so little do we look at the railway station.
Simon Jenkins has travelled the length and breadth of Great Britain, from Waterloo to Wemyss Bay, Betws-y-Coed to Beverley, to select his hundred best railway stations. Blending his usual insight and authority with his personal reflections and experiences - including his founding the Railway Heritage Trust - the foremost expert on our national heritage deftly reveals the history, geography, design and significance of each of these glories.
Beautifully illustrated with colour photographs throughout, this joyous exploration of our social history shows the station's role in the national imagination; champions the engineers, architects and rival companies that made them possible; and tells the story behind the triumphs and follies of these very British creations. These are the marvellous, often undersung places that link our nation, celebrated like never before.
'However spectacular the book's photographs, it's the author's prowess as a phrase-maker that keeps you turning the pages' The Times
'An uplifting exploration of our social history' Guardian

Deset knih o architektuře, 4. vydání
Legendární Vitruviův spis O architektuře je jediným zachovaným dílem svého druhu z římské odborné literatury. Římský architekt Vitruvius jím vytvořil základní učebnici antické architektury, v níž encyklopedicky, jak bylo v jeho době zvykem, shrnul všechny potřebné a používané znalosti a poznatky z oboru technických věd. Svůj obor pojal jako soubor tří disciplin: architektury jako stavebního umění, stavební techniky a mechaniky. Probírá postupně všechna témata a problémy, s nimiž se podle jeho zkušeností musí architekt jeho doby vypořádat: výběr místa pro stavbu, její orientaci a dispozici opírá o hygienické důvody a znalost fyziologie člověka a zároveň o poznatky z meteorologie a klimatologie; do nauky o stavebních materiálech zahrnuje výklad geologie, mineralogie a botaniky; ke stavbě vodovodů vyžaduje vědomosti z půdoznalství a hydrologie; stavbu divadel podmiňuje znalostmi akustiky a hudební teorie; estetiku architektury odvozuje od rozboru stavby lidského těla a zákonů optiky; jako stavitel, který umí stavět, neváhá zevrubně vyložit způsoby bourání, zejména pro účel války; v rámci rekonstrukce strojů popisuje všechna známá a používaná zařízení až po stavbu hodin a vodních varhan; pro organizaci života a práce shrnuje dobové znalosti o času a astronomii.
Vitruviův spis je jedinečnou encyklopedií starověkého vědění a sehrál nesmírně důležitou roli v dějinách evropské kultury. Byl uznávanou praktickou příručkou ve středověku a vysokého ocenění se mu dostalo za renesance. Stal se učebnicí stavitelství a architektury řeckého a římského období a dalekosáhle ovlivnil vývoj evropské architektury až do nového věku.
Building for Hope
Marwa al Sabouni was a little-known architect, living in battle-ravaged Homs, unable to practice her profession as the buildings and the lives around her and across Syria were reduced to rubble. Rather than flee her country, like so many of her compatriots, she remained, committed to the belief that the multilayered and multifaceted society she grew up in was worth rebuilding. She turned her fierce intelligence to chronicling how her city and country were undone through decades of architectural mismanagement and mistakes.
The result was The Battle for Home. Published in 2016, the book and her story attracted the attention of international news media and received critical acclaim around the world. She became a TED fellow; some suggested she be nominated for architecture's highest honour, the Pritzker Prize.
Until the book was published, al Sabouni had rarely travelled outside of her native country, but The Battle for Home gained her invitations to speak to audiences, institutes and experts across the world. Her travels, combined with her deep understanding of the Middle Eastern heritage and values, provided al Sabouni with insights into a wide range of cities, which informed her views on how cities best work, how they might fail, and what can be done to enrich and harmonize the lives of all their inhabitants. This is a rich journey, drawing together several narratives: her personal observations of some of the world's most fascinating cities, from Detroit to Helsinki, from Bristol to Amsterdam; the lessons that Western societies might learn from Islamic culture; and philosophical reflections, drawing on a range of thinkers, on how our personal and communal spaces can provide the basic foundations for happiness. Through this rich tapestry of personal experience, unblinking perspective, and unsettling insight, al Sabouni offers the reader real-world solutions - and hope - for how the conditions for enduring peace might be created in an increasingly polarizing world.
