Renzo Piano Museums
Creating space for the display of works of art has intrigued Renzo Piano throughout his thirty-five years of architectural practice. Today he is acknowledged the pre-eminent designer in this field, entrusted with the collections of the most distinguished art institutions in the world. "Renzo Piano Museums" presents a portfolio of eighteen museum projects, beginning with the revolutionary Pompidou Center in Paris and continuing to the most current designs for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sarajevo. Featured are the Menil Collection in Houston, the Beyeler Foundation on the outskirts of Basel, Switzerland, the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, and the Morgan Library and Museum in New York. Lush color photographs and handsome presentation drawings and plans convey the form and detail of these extraordinary buildings. Complementing the visual presentation is an essay by Victoria Newhouse, which surveys Piano's museum work and places it in a historical context. In particular, she focuses on the key elements of Piano's aesthetic: natural light, transparency, and the piazza or gathering space. All were introduced at the Pompidou Center and continue to inform the designs.

American Art and Architecture
An accessible, concise, and beautifully written survey of American art and architecture from 1600 to the present.This new survey provides a complete history of American art and architecture from its seventeenth-century colonial beginnings to the latest installation and video work. Structured chronologically, the book defines the characteristics of the different periods and highlights the consistent forms, techniques, and styles that mark the art and architecture as distinctively American. Michael J. Lewis charts the ways in which American artists and architects both adopted and diverged from earlier European models to create an original visual language of their own. He also shows how that language in turn came to influence and eventually dominate art and architecture around the world.Professor Lewis integrates discussions of both buildings and works of visual art, revealing the shared social and aesthetic concerns that underlie the two. Vernacular, religious, secular, and corporate architecture appears alongside paintings, sculpture, photography, and new-media art. All the major American artists and works from the seventeenth century to today are included, such as epic history paintings by Benjamin West and John Singleton Copley, sublime landscapes by Thomas Cole, Albert Bierstadt, and Frederick Church, society portraits by John Singer Sargent, groundbreaking abstract expressionist and pop art by Jackson Pollock, Barnett Newman, and Andy Warhol, and challenging sculptural, installation, and video works from more recent years by Robert Gober, Fred Wilson, and Matthew Barney.In architecture, dozens of different building types are illustrated and discussed, from the earliest colonial houses and churches to the most spectacular modernist and postmodernist houses, stations, museums, and iconic skyscrapers. 275 illustrations, 175 in color

Designing Disorder
In 1970, Richard Sennett published the groundbreaking The Uses of Disorder, arguing that the ideal of a planned and ordered city was flawed. Fifty years later, Sennett returns to these still fertile ideas and, alongside campaigner and architect Pablo Sendra, sets out an agenda for the design and ethics of the Open City.
The public spaces of our cities are under siege from planners, privatisation and increased surveillance. Our streets are becoming ever more lifeless and ordered. What is to be done? Can disorder be designed? In this provocative essay Sendra and Sennett propose a reorganisation of how we think and plan the social life of our cities. 'Infrastructures of disorder' combine architecture, politics, urban planning and activism in order to develop places that nurture rather than stifle, bring together rather than divide up, remain open to change rather than closed off.

Supermrakodrapy
Mrakodrapy se zrodily před více než sto lety - od té doby se rozšířily po celém světě a dnes patří k nejtypičtějším budovám modernismu. V době svého vzniku představovaly naprosto nové pojetí, jehož základem bylo nakupit na sebe mnoho pater a při konstrukci využívat masově vyráběných panelů, které byly pro nový průmyslový věk typické. Ve skutečnosti však spojovaly archetypy paláce, věže a zvonice (ale také hory, kaňonu, rokle a stalaktitu), které někdy až výstředním způsobem kombinovaly s futuristickými prvky jako ze sci-fi filmů. V tomto ohledu jsou mrakodrapy vlastně současníky kinematografie - sedmého umění a desáté Múzy - a multimedií, jež v současné době představují její další vývojový stupeň. Není proto překvapením, že mrakodrapy, které tvoří přirozenou součást dnešní společnosti zábavy, komunikací a masové avantgardy, hrály již od svých prvopočátků důležitou roli i v oblasti kinematografie a multimédií. A jako kinematografie oslavila své sté výročí celou řadou nových zpracování starších filmů nebo jejich pokračováními, i nové supermrakodrapy, jež se v roli dominant spolupodílejí na vytváření panoramat dnešních měst a které bychom mohli označit za "nové obry", na sebe berou novou podobu. Dnes již nejsou výjimkou superstavby ve tvaru kuželů nebo plachet a přitom je nikdo nepovažuje za kýč. Jsou výstředními sny světových architektonických hvězd, jež nejsou svázány konvencemi běžných stavebních postupů, které přední stavitelské firmy proměňují pomocí moderních technologií ve skutečnost.

Living with Wood
Architects and designers use wood for construction because of its infinite applications for interior and exterior
design. At present, new planning criteria for housing means
that distinctive and ethical buildings can be constructed
using a great variety of woods, including recycled. Considered one of the best building materials due to its
versatility and thermo-acoustic insulating properties, wood
also has many other advantages like strong ecological
characteristics and a warm, bright appearance.
This book is a compilation of different construction types:
second homes; prefabricated houses; cabins; shelters; child
care centres; cafes, and more, which combine traditional
design with various contemporary styles. Examples from
Canada, Central Europe, the Mediterranean and Northern
Europe and Asia are shown in large format images and
drawings, along with explanatory texts focussed on the
use of wood.

Wood Houses
Wood has been a traditional construction material for centuries all over the world, as it still is in many places today. Now there is a growing interest in using wood in modern residential architecture. Architects today are drawn to it for a variety of reasons including its sustainability, versatility, economy, and natural beauty. As a result, this environmentally sustainable material is becoming increasingly significant in today’s domestic architecture. Wood, intrinsically beautiful in all of its forms, can be used in practically any part of the construction from a heavy structural frame to finely detailed cabinetry, and from flooring to roof shingles. These volumes document wood used in different buildings and constructions. Each house profile is illustrated with the architect’s own plans and elevations and also numerous full color interior and exterior photographs that highlight the natural appeal of wood.

Light Innovations
New construction techniques using steel, concrete and glass allowed buildings to benefit from natural light, and at night they were illuminated by light coming out through large windows. Today, artificial illumination is also a principal element for shop windows and advertising boards. One of the determining reasos for this progressive conquering of urban spaces throughout the 20th century has, without doubt, been the development of the communication era. Urban areas became endless screens for either projecting combiations of lights created as artistic concepts, or for illuminating exernal elements.
