Monotowns
A photographic exploration of the Soviet monotowns (urban settlements erected around single industries in the hinterlands of the former USSR) - some thriving, others struggling to survive, still others partially abandoned. Through 9 chapters with over 130 photographs taken by Russian photographer Alexander Veryovkin, Monotowns captures the post-industrial landscapes and Soviet era architecture of the monogorods, extending from the Arctic Circle to the Russian Far East, such as Vorkuta, Norilsk, Mirny, Kirovsk, Tolyatti, Cherepovets, Magnitogorsk, Monchegorsk and Nikel, and the daily lives of their inhabitants. Includes informative texts providing a valuable insight into the urban development of the featured cities and a foreword by the architectural historian Konstantin Budarin.
1920-2020 Praha - Tokio
Publikace na 320 stranách představuje architekturu v průběhu celého století, od japonských staveb Jana Letzela, Bedřicha Feuersteina a zejména Antonína Raymonda, jenž je označován za jednoho ze zakladatelů moderní architektury v Japonsku, až po aktuální tvorbu mladé generace. Čtenáři se seznámí s ohlasy japonské tvorby u české avantgardy, vlivem vily Kacura v poválečném období, urbanistickým vývojem japonských velkoměst, utopickými vizemi superstruktur tyčících se nad městy ze šedesátých let, vztahem k umění nebo postojem k tradiční architektuře, regionalismu či udržitelnosti. Prostor je věnován také úspěšnému československému pavilonu na Expo 70 v Ósace, významu sklářského umění, reflexi japonských zahrad, ale rovněž estetice a architektuře čajového obřadu, památkové péči nebo specifickému pojetí prostoru ma. Vyjmenované tematické okruhy doprovází rovněž řada reprodukcí uměleckých děl a fotografií českých a japonských autorů. Čtenářsky zajímavé může být několik kapitol pojatých formou rozhovoru s architekty i teoretiky, například exkluzivní interview s Fudžimorim Terunobuem a Vladimírem Šlapetou.
Katalog k výstavě připravené v rámci oslav výročí 100 let vztahů mezi Japonskem a Českou republikou pod záštitou Tomáše Petříčka, ministra zahraničních věcí České republiky, a pod čestnou záštitou Velvyslanectví Japonska v ČR.

Chrám Matky Boží před Týnem
Monografie Chrám Matky Boží před Týnem v období středověku vznikla díky dlouholetému zájmu o tuto výjimečnou památku. Je založena především na zhodnocení významu architektonické skulptury chrámu a jejího dosahu v rámci pražského sochařství v období vrcholného a pozdního středověku.
Díky své mimořádné důležitosti na sebe tento staroměstský monument soustředil pozornost celé řady předních českých historiků a historiků umění. Kniha je věnována v hluboké úctě profesoru Jaromíru Homolkovi in memoriam, který se velmi výrazně zasloužil o poznání středověké podoby Týnského chrámu.

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.

Islamic Art and Architecture
Embracing over a thousand years of history and an area stretching from the Atlantic to the borders of India and China, this is an unrivalled synthesis of the arts of Islamic civilization. From the death of the Prophet Muhammad to the present day, Robert Hillenbrand traces the evolution of an extraordinary range of art forms, including architecture, calligraphy, book illumination, painting, ceramics, glassware, textiles and metalwork. New to this edition is a chapter ranging from c. 1700 to c. 1900, a period very often neglected in books on this subject. Hillenbrand explores how recent centuries, far from being a dark age, have seen incredible artistic ferment and creativity across the Islamic world. Full-colour illustrations of masterpieces of Islamic art and architecture - from Moorish Spain to contemporary Iran - show the far-reaching stylistic developments as well as the recurrent preoccupations that have shaped the arts of Islam since the seventh century.

Mass Housing
This major work provides the first comprehensive history of one of modernism's most defining and controversial architectural legacies: the 20th-century drive to provide 'homes for the people'. Vast programmes of mass housing - high-rise, low-rise, state-funded, and built in the modernist style - became a truly global phenomenon, leaving a legacy which has suffered waves of disillusionment in the West but which is now seeing a dramatic, 21st-century renaissance in the booming, crowded cities of East Asia.
Providing a global approach to the history of Modernist mass-housing production, this authoritative study combines architectural history with the broader social, political, cultural aspects of mass housing - particularly the 'mass' politics of power and state-building throughout the 20th century.
Exploring the relationship between built form, ideology, and political intervention, it shows how mass housing not only reflected the transnational ideals of the Modernist project, but also became a central legitimizing pillar of nation-states worldwide. In a compelling narrative which likens the spread of mass housing to a 'Hundred Years War' of successive campaigns and retreats, it traces the history around the globe from Europe via the USA, Soviet Union and a network of international outposts, to its ultimate, optimistic resurgence in China and the East - where it asks: Are we facing a new dawn for mass housing, or another 'great housing failure' in the making?

Vertical Living : Compact Architecture for Urban Spaces
Mass urbanization. Population growth. All happening faster than we can build for. As global populations are projected to shift to 80-90% urban in the next 30 years, architects are faced with a growing challenge: how to accommodate all this growth in limited space? At the same time, movements around downsizing and living with less are redefining how we live. Vertical Living explores the future of residential architecture in growing cities. The book looks at ingenious architectural solutions: impossibly skinny houses wedged into narrow plots, spacious homes built into neglected infill sites and comfortable homes created in tiny spaces. By combining inspirational projects, in-depth features and engaging profiles of architects around the world, Vertical Living will offer a new way of looking at how we live in the built environment.
Kaple Matky Boží
Když na sklonku roku 1349 dal Karel IV. norimberským měšťanům souhlas se zřízením velkého tržiště na místě dosavadního židovského ghetta, a nepřímo tak připustil následný pogrom, vymínil si, že na místě synagogy vznikne kaple zasvěcená Panně Marii. Tak se také stalo. Za deset let byla stavba hotová a v čele nového tržiště se skvělo její nádherné průčelí s bohatě zdobenou a třemi portály otevřenou předsíní. Sál naší Paní je dodnes jedním ze symbolů města Norimberku. Mnohé jej ale pojí i s českým prostředím. Vedle osoby fundátora, císaře a českého krále Karla IV., to jsou mnohé umělecké vazby a také badateli dosud opomíjený sbor mansionářů pražské katedrály, jimž byla svěřena duchovní správa norimberské kaple. Kniha představuje vůbec první uměnovědnou monografii stavby. Její první část má podobu průvodce uměnímilovného návštěvníka, druhá část zasazuje stavbu, její výzdobu a mobiliář do kontextu středověké liturgické praxe.
Raising the Roof
Historically, women architects were disappointingly absent in the news and at awards ceremonies, but now they are spearheading some of the most exciting and important projects in every corner of the globe. These profiles of fifty female architects bring to light some of those projects and highlight pioneering women architects. Each architect is introduced in double-page spreads that include a brief biography, an overview of her philosophy and vision, and stunning photographs of her most significant works. Interviews with several of the architects provide a global perspective on how women are changing the face of the world-including feminist icon, philanthropist, and Nigerian "starchitect" Olajumoke Adenowo; Tatiana Bilbao, who is leading the way in sustainable Mexican architecture; Rossana Hu, who is fighting to preserve Chinese village culture in her rapidly urbanizing country; and Elizabeth Diller, who created the High Line, one of New York City's most beloved public spaces, and helped redesign the city's Museum of Modern Art. This volume offers indisputable and inspiring evidence that the architectural profession is no longer just a man's game.

Nature Inside: Plants and Flowers in the Modern Interior
From ferns in 19th-century British parlors to contemporary "living walls" in commercial spaces, plants and flowers have long been incorporated into the design of public and private spaces. Spanning two centuries, Nature Inside explores the history and popularity of indoor plants, revealing the close relationship between architecture, interior design, and nature. Studying the international modern interior through the lens of plants in the human environment, author Penny Sparke attributes a degree of the interest in indoor plants to urbanization, and, more recently, the climate crisis, which serve as ongoing reminders that people must maintain a connection to, and respect for, the natural world. While architectural and interior design styles have evolved alongside the popularity of various plant species, the human need to bring nature indoors has remained constant.
