Schindler
Hailing from Vienna, Rudolph Michael Schindler (1887-1953) emigrated to Chicago in 1914, like his lifelong friend and rival Richard Neutra. Eventually hired by Frank Lloyd Wright to work in Los Angeles, Schindler took cues from notions found in Cubism and the International Style to shape his unique vision: a style he called "space architecture," combining geometrical shapes, bold lines, and materials such as wood and concrete, with space as a medium in its own right, one to be controlled just like color or mass.
This radical approach earned Schindler little recognition in his lifetime-but today, he is hailed as one of America's most important Modernist pioneers. Discover such key projects as the Wolfe House, nestled in a steep hillside; the tree house-like Falk Apartment Building; the Lovell Beach House, recognized as one of the foremost examples of the Modernist canon in America; the Schindler/Chace House, Schindler's most crucial work and his personal practice and home, which he shared with his family and that of Neutra.
From private homes to small commercial buildings, Schindler's groundbreaking designs heralded a new era of contemporary construction. This collection is complete with a map locating all of the architect's most renowned projects, detailed entries, floor plans, as well as crisp photography of each structure and its interiors.
New Nordic Houses
In a climate that ranges from cold, dark and unforgiving to endless sun and crystalline skies, the homes of the Nordic countries are lifted by ever-changing and dramatic natural light balanced by an intrinsic sense of warmth. Nordic architects today are as much informed by vernacular traditions and natural materials as their forebears, but the most recent generation of practitioners reflects a new appetite for spatial exploration and changing lifestyles.
Divided into four chapters - rural cabins, coastal retreats, town houses and country homes - this survey of over forty of Scandinavia's finest and most innovative houses features work by a broad spectrum of leading architects, such as Jon Danielsen Aarhus, Tham & Videgard, Snorre Stinessen, Reiulf Ramstad and Todd Saunders. Structured by terrain to reveal the full diversity of the landscape and its architectural challenges, the book is full of fresh thinking about living spaces that are at once universal and distinctively Nordic. From country houses complete with traditional Nordic fireplaces, saunas, window seats and verandas, to remote cabin hideaways and artist's studios, there are details and grand ideas that can be applied to residential design anywhere. A reference section includes an appendix of architectural plans.
Futbalové arény súčasnosti a budúcnosti
Hra v peknom prostredí je krajšia a lákavejšia. Platí to aj o tej futbalovej. Futbalové arény sú v súčasnosti už viac než štadióny. Predstavujú športovo-kultúrne stánky, komplexy, nevyhnutne prepojené s biznisom, ktoré by iba futbal neuživil. Potrebujú žiť 365 dní v roku.
Walls
For thousands of years, humans have built walls and assaulted them, admired walls and reviled them. Great Walls have appeared on nearly every continent, accompanying the rise of cities, nations, and empires. In Walls, David Frye uncovers a story that is more than just bricks and stone: he reveals the startling link between what we build and how we live, who we are and how we came to be.
It is nothing less than the story of civilization.
Stay Overnight
The adaptive reuse approach is gaining ground also in the hotel industry. The careful and respectful handling of the building fabric is as important in this process as the creative extension. Converting old structures is a great way to offer an authentic experience for guests, while also conserving land, reducing urban sprawl and preserving the originality of historic buildings. The featured architects show different possibilities how stations, warehouses, churches and offices can be coverted into hotels. Whether through striking contrast with the new creation or reinterpretation of the existing architecture - or indeed both together - all featured projects are defined by their respectful and thoughtful stance towards the sites they occupy and establish an enthralling relationship between the old and the new.
Gréckokatolícky chrám v Trebišove
Prijmite pozvanie nahliadnuť do útrob trebišovského gréckokatolíckeho chrámu optikou majstrovských fotografií a sprievodného textu tejto publikácie. Aby sme uprostred pluralitného a globalizovaného sveta pamätali na duchovné dedičstvo našich otcov a dedov, treba oceniť zámer autora sprístupniť nepoznanú krásu tohto chrámu širšej verejnosti. Veď v rýchlom tempe života sme dnes už pozbavení schopnosti obdivovať pravú krásu, ako odlesk pokornej, pracovitej a modliacej sa duše umelca. Krása je viac ako súzvuk farieb alebo tónov. Ona je vlastnou sestrou dobra a pravdy, teda atribútov samého Boha. Objekt chrámu v sebe skrýva okrem sakrálneho umenia predovšetkým duchovný rozmer. Preto nestačí chrám len obdivovať, ale je potrebné ho aj navštevovať a v jeho atmosfére harmonizovať svoje vnútro. Každý človek je v chráme vítaný, či už príde ako turista, alebo ako veriaci, len ak príde s dobrou vôľou a správnou túžbou.
Lázně za císaře pána
Album historických fotografií, ktoré vybral, upravil a textami doplnil fotograf a vlastník rodinnej zbierky starých fotografií Pavel Scheufler, predstavuje svet kúpeľov na sklonku monarchie, keď k liečivým prameňom mierili osobnosti z celej Európy, šľachta a aj sám cisár. Oni všetci, rovnako ako obyčajní ľudia, hľadali pri liečivých prameňoch nie iba zdravie, ale aj rozptýlenie a pohodu. Malé a menej známe kúpele v Čechách ponúkali tiché ústrania a pokoj. Naopak, prekrásne promenády, kaviarne a kasína v Karlových Varoch, Mariánskych a Františkových Lázňach pozývali na zábavu a nadväzovanie priateľstiev či romantických známostí. Pozorne to sledovali oči fotografov, ktorých snímky dnes poskytujú jedinečné svedectvo o tomto stratenom svete včerajška.

Seashaken Houses
An enthralling history of Britain's rock lighthouses, and the people who built and inhabited them
Lighthouses are enduring monuments to our relationship with the sea. They encapsulate a romantic vision of solitary homes amongst the waves, but their original purpose was much more noble, conceived as navigational gifts for the safety of all. Still today, we depend upon their guiding lights for the safe passage of ships. Nowhere is this truer than in the rock lighthouses of Great Britain and Ireland: twenty towers built between 1811 and 1904, so-called because they were constructed on desolate, slippery rock formations in the middle of the sea, rising, mirage-like, straight out of the waves, with lights shining at the their summits.
Seashaken Houses is a lyrical exploration of these magnificent, isolated sentinels, the ingenuity of those who conceived them, the people who risked their lives building and rebuilding them, those that inhabited their circular rooms, and the ways in which we value emblems of our history in a changing world.
White Houses
This survey presents the most striking, innovative and unusual white houses by contemporary architects spanning the globe from Asia to the Americas, showcasing inspirational residential projects by established and emerging talents, including Aires Mateus, Jakob + Macfarlane, Jurgen Mayer and Shinichi Ogawa. From radical new takes on traditional building forms in Latin America to state-of-the-art urban projects in Europe and Japan, each featured house employs the apparent simplicity of white to reflect light and accent materiality, pressing the frontiers of form to the point of abstraction.
A white house is also a statement, translating a desire to stand out, just as it may also create a neutral surface for expression. This stylish and timeless publication therefore celebrates a universal form for all people and lifestyles.
Ando - Complete Works 1975-Today
Discover the completely unique aesthetic of Tadao Ando, the only architect ever to have won the discipline's four most prestigious prizes: the Pritzker, Carlsberg, Praemium Imperiale, and Kyoto Prize.
Philippe Starck defines him as a "mystic in a country which is no longer mystic." Philip Drew calls his buildings "land art" as they "struggle to emerge from the earth." His designs have been described as haiku crafted from concrete, water, light, and space. But to Ando, true architecture is not expressed in metaphysics or beauty, but rather through space that embodies physical wisdom.
This thoroughly updated edition spans the breadth of his entire career, including such stunning new projects as the Shanghai Poly Theater and the Clark Center at the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Each project is profiled through photographs and architectural drawings to explore Ando's unprecedented use of concrete, wood, water, light, space, and natural forms. Based on the massive XXL monograph, this edition brings the architect's definitive career overview to an accessible format.
Hluboké město
Hluboké město
Pavel Kalina
Vyjde03.07.2019
„Přestože se v této knize mluví převážně o tom, jak města vypadala v minulosti,“ píše autor v úvodu, „skutečná otázka, kterou si klade, zní, jak město bude vypadat v nadcházejícím tisíciletí.“
Kniha se zabývá nepřeberným znakovým bohatstvím měst, vytvářejícím stabilní rámec životů jejich obyvtel. „Hluboké město“, které svou sémantickou hloubku často čerpá z imaginárních vztahů k antickému Římu, umožňuje maximum komunikace i sociálních interakcí. Evropská historická města k tomuto typu měst vesměs patří, ale vlivem sílícího turistického průmyslu a developerských projektů se jejich „hloubka“ vytrácí a těmto městům hrozí komunikační a sociální „plochost“. Kromě kapitol věnovaných Římu, Benátkám, Berlínu, Istanbulu, New Yorku, Praze a dalším městům kniha přináší i zhodnocení několika klíčových stavebních typů – nákupních center, stadionů, muzeí, knihoven a kostelů – a to právě z hlediska jejich schopnosti vytvářet, či naopak potlačovat historickou paměť.
Jak autor naznačuje, základem cesty k městu budoucnosti by mělo být neustálé a nesmírně složité vyvažování relativní chaotičnosti vznikání a vývoje měst na jedné straně a cílevědomé a pro města životně nutné integrace všech těchto procesů na straně druhé.

The Theatre of Work
The modern workplace has evolved from a dehumanized cubicle landscape to space designed for intelligent human life. While utility and amenity are vastly improved, wh at advances have been made in building truly creative communities that spark creativity, knowledge sharing and collaboration? Is the 21st century office performing at peak? Clive Wilkinson - The Theatre of Work proposes an intensified relationship between office users and the space they occupy. The new workspace should amplify and celebrate the activity of work and of human community, and in the process, becoming vital and compelling Theatre.
In defining this new landscape, the author examines global devel opments in workplace thinking, historical antecedents, the performance touch-points for the new office, and proposes seven humanistic principles that will inform a holistic design process that can bring this concept of Theatre to fruition. Each of these principles is demonstrated through case studies of the work of his renowned design studio, Clive Wilkinson Architects (CWA), with rich iconography, diagrammatic strategy and contextual ingenuity. The outcome of this process, with its multiple performative la yers, effectively promotes elevating a corporate brief of basic needs and goals to a profoundly human-centred presentation of `work as theatre' .
