Jindřich Halabala a Spojené uměleckoprůmyslové závody v Brně
Jindřich Halabala, od roku 1930 hlavní architekt Spojených UP závodů, měl zásadní vliv na formování výrobního programu společnosti, podílel se na vývoji výrobků, na reklamní i prodejní strategii. Jeho představa o kvalitě bydlení a nábytku, který má být tvarově elegantní, dokonale zpracovaný, bezchybně funkční, skladebný a variabilní, a přitom dostupný nejširším vrstvám obyvatelstva, zůstává inspirujícím a nadčasovým odkazem.
Druhé, rozšířené vydání publikace vychází po patnácti letech od vydání prvního, připraveného ke 100. výročí narození brněnského architekta, designéra a teoretika. Bohatě ilustrovaná publikace, oceněná v roce 2004 v soutěži Gloria musealis, je věnována jedné z nejzajímavějších osobností nábytkové tvorby meziválečného období a přináší první souhrnné zhodnocení jeho díla a činnosti Spojených UP závodů v Brně v období třicátých let 20. století.
V této době patřil podnik k největším a nejprogresivnějším nábytkovým továrnám v tehdejším Československu a výrobky nesoucí značku UP byly synonymem kvality a dobrého vkusu.

Brutalism
Brutalist architecture is ever-present in the British urban landscape, from car parks and bus garages to schools, universities and cultural centres, from the small college campus to vast residential mega-structures. Taken from the French phrase 'beton brut', meaning raw concrete, the name brutalism identified an emerging style of angular and sculptural form and rough, exposed industrial materials. The pioneering architects of the style such as Peter and Alison Smithson, Erno Goldfinger and the Owen Luder Partnership optimistically believed they were forging a new utopia.Their confidence is apparent in the uncompromising, bold, even bolshy buildings such as London's South Bank Centre, Hunstanton School, Preston bus station and Portsmouth's Tricorn Centre that came to define the architecture of the 1960s and 1970s. After decades of vilification, brutalism is today enjoying a resurgence of popularity and the original principles of the movement are being rediscovered and reappraised, although it still divides public opinion. This book is part of the Britain's Heritage series, which provides definitive introductions to the riches of Britain's past, and is the perfect way to get acquainted with brutalism in all its variety.
Cabins
Life in the Woods Creative cabin architecture, from California to Sapporo Ever since Henry David Thoreau's described his two years, two months, and two days of refuge existence at Walden Pond, Massachusetts, in Walden, or, Life in the Woods (1854), the idea of a cabin dwelling has seduced the modern psyche. In the past decade, as our material existence and environmental footprint has grown exponentially, architects around the globe have become particularly interested in the possibilities of the minimal, low-impact, and isolated abode.
This Bibliotheca Universalis edition of Cabins combines insightful text, rich photography, and bright, contemporary illustrations by Marie-Laure Cruschi to show how this particular architectural type presents special opportunities for creative thinking. In eschewing excess, the cabin limits actual spatial intrusion to the bare essentials of living requirements, while in responding to its typically rustic setting, it foregrounds eco-friendly solutions. The cabin comes to showcase some of the most inventive and forward-looking practice of contemporary architecture, with Renzo Piano, Terunobu Fujimori, Tom Kundig, and many fresh young professionals all embracing such distilled sanctuary spaces.
The book showcases the variety of cabins in use and geography. From an artist studio on the Suffolk coast in England to eco-home huts in the Western Ghats region of India, this collection is as exciting in its international reach as it is in its array of briefs, clients, and situations. Constant throughout, however, is architectural innovation, and an inspiring sense of contemplation and coexistence as people return to nature and to a less destructive model of being in the world. About the series:

Snarkitecture
The first monograph on Snarkitecture, a New York-based collaborative and innovative design studio with an introduction by Maria Cristina Didero
Fast becoming one of the world's most sought-after studios, Snarkitecture has designed installations, architecture, products, and furniture for a diverse range of clients including COS, Kith, Calvin Klein, the New Museum, Kartell, and Beats by Dr. Dre. This book presents more than 70 of their projects and investigates how its founders, artist Daniel Arsham and architect Alex Mustonen, work at the interface between their disciplines to come up with some of the most beguiling and fascinating designs seen in recent years.
Victor Horta
Victor Horta (1861–1947) is well known as the creator of Art Nouveau architecture. Following the design of the Hôtel Tassel, Brussels, in 1893, Horta produced more than 40 buildings during the following decade. This new book discusses the many influences on his designs, and his legacy. Detailed descriptions of 19 projects, including Edicule Lambeaux, Hôtel Autrique, Hôtel Max Hallet and the Brugmann Hospital, are illustrated with Horta’s original drawings and specially commissioned photographs by award-winning architectural photographer Alastair Carew-Cox. Included in this book are extensive photographs of Hôtel Solvay, one of Horta’s most important works; access to photographers had been denied for 20 years, but special access was granted to Alastair Carew-Cox in the summer of 2016 in recognition of his and Professor David Dernie’s significant contribution to the study of Horta.
Victor Horta: The Architect of Art Nouveau has been prepared in close collaboration with the Horta Museum, Brussels, ensuring that it is both accurate and up to date. It will appeal to anyone interested in Art Nouveau, one of the great aesthetic movements of the early 20th century. Its richly ornamental style of fluid lines based on natural forms expressed a desire to abandon the historical styles of the 19th century and to develop a language that was beautifully crafted and thoroughly contemporary, laying the foundations for the development of modernism in architecture and interior design.
The Spirit of the Bauhaus
‘Architects, sculptors, painters, we all must return to the crafts!’ declared the architect Walter Gropius in his Bauhaus manifesto. Founded as an art school in 1919 and forced to close in 1933 by the Nazis, the Bauhaus established itself as a major influence on 20th-century art and design that continues to this day.
The Bauhaus opened in Weimar, the progressive heart of Germany’s postwar republic. Under its first director, Walter Gropius, students were taught by some of the most celebrated artists of the time, including Paul Klee, Lyonel Feininger and Wassily Kandinsky. The school moved to Dessau in 1922, under its radical new director Hannes Meyer, and to Berlin in 1932 under architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. In 1933 the Gestapo forced the Bauhaus to close for the last time.
This volume uncovers the sources of inspiration that brought the Bauhaus into existence, from medieval cathedrals of Europe and Hokusai prints to William Morris and Arts and Crafts. Each of the various workshops and courses at the Bauhaus is explored in detail, illustrating the extraordinary wealth of experimentation in every field: ceramics, woodwork, metalwork, textiles, glass-painting, sculpture, mural, printing and binding, typography and publicity, theatre, architecture and photography.
This essential and accessible guide to the Bauhaus, its history and turbulent political context, provides the key to understanding why it is recognized as the most durable and influential source of modern ideas about art, design and craft.

Streets of New York
More than 60 million people visit New York City each year. Every single traveler experiences the city in a unique way. There is no such thing as one New York. Streets of New York is a New York photo book that celebrates the Big Apple's tremendous diversity by bringing together over 40 contemporary photographers and their multiple perspectives on this unique metropolis.
Often drawing on a strong social media presence, each photographer offers her or his personal take on New York's unparalleled vibrancy, impact, and allure, creating both a rich collection of city photography and street style, and a visual catalogue of New York travel inspirations. Photographs of world-renowned New York landmarks and attractions like the Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge, and World Trade Center Transportation Hub are interspersed with pictures of New York's hidden treasures, tucked-away Manhattan charms, and lesser known, but equally interesting New York City districts-all captured with a present-day attention to detail and a wide-eyed love for the City that Never Sleeps.
Exceptional Homes
Architectural mastery with handcrafted details, enhanced with all of today's modern conveniences, is on full display in the elegant residences of RALF SCHMITZ's extraordinary portfolio. Whether urban villas or townhouses, Wilhelminian style or Art Deco, glimpse refined classical architecture combined with state-of-the art finishes as you tour an array of luxury interiors in this opulent book.
Exceptional Homes shows a variety of distinctive, newly-constructed buildings and ultra-stylish homes in prime locations. The showroom apartments in Berlin, Dusseldorf, and Hamburg feature exquisite furnishings and tasteful color combinations that make them truly inspiring. Traditional architectural layouts are skillfully re-imagined and re-designed for modern living, allowing for light-flooded floor plans with harmonious room sequences to create beautiful, upscale home environments.
Even the common areas of the unique properties are splendidly accentuated- lavish lobbies and elaborate elevators make the mere arrival to a building or residence a memorable experience. Exclusive cooperative projects with prestigious interior design professionals, such as the Italian luxury label Bottega Veneta, demonstrate the exceptional standard upheld by this historic company. All structures are designed by renowned, highly sought-after architectural firms.
"Only value endures" is the guiding principle of the Schmitz family, the real estate developers for subdued luxury. This is precisely what the founder of the company mandated in 1864. Today, the company embodies the same values: developing and building high-quality residential estates on exclusive properties on the basis of a building culture that stands for architectural perfection.

Kostel Panny Marie na Pražském hradě
Kostel Panny Marie na Pražském hradě patřil k nejhledanějším památkám Čech již od druhé poloviny 19. století. Do bouřlivé názorové výměny nad jeho polohou a významem se postupně zapojili snad všichni přední znalci raného středověku. Mariánský svatostánek totiž naposledy zmiňuje tzv. Dalimilova kronika, jejíž vznik bývá zpravidla kladen nedlouho za rok 1300. O něco později kostel zanikl a jeho poloha upadla v zapomnění. Objevit se jej podařilo až výzkumem, který roku 1950 vedl Ivan Borkovský. Nevelký objekt zakončený apsidou o rozměrech zhruba 7,5 × 6 m byl však natolik poničen, že se jeho původní podoba i stavební vývoj vzpírají jednoznačné interpretaci. Osmička archeologů, historiků, lingvistů, religionistů a uměleckých historiků (Iva Adámková, Nora Berend, Jiří Dynda, Jan Frolík, Jana Maříková-Kubková, Dalibor Prix, Ivo Štefan a Martin Wihoda) se nyní zamýšlí nad možnostmi a mezemi výkladu a pokouší se provázat Borkovského objev s christianizací Čechů.

Isay Weinfeld
Bauhaus minimalism meets tasteful elegance. The Brazilian architect Isay Weinfeld designs houses and hotels in style. From one side of the globe to the other, Isay Weinfeld is one of the most sought-after architects. Weinfeld is inimitable in the realm of combining modern elegance with tropical lightness. Under his hand, lushly landscaped courtyards and long corridors open into wide spaces; a view of a pool or a dramatic indoor waterfall. The Brazilian architect's works are characterized by glass and concrete, dark wood shades and soft color accents; all elements of a special brand of distinguished restraint. Isay Weinfeld, a volume dedicated to an architect who rarely discusses his own work, shows the full range of homes and hotels designed for prominent artists, actors, filmmakers, and businessmen. Previously unpublished photographs visually describe his work and discussions of unique projects give insight into Weinfeld's fine set of skills.

The Master of Modern
Discoveries from the Julius Shulman vaults
The buildings burned in our memories, which to us represent the spirit of '50s and '60s architectural design, were those whose pictures were widely published in magazines and books; but what about those that got lost in the process, hardly or never appearing in publication?
The exchange of visual information is crucial to the development, evolution, and promotion of architectural movements. If a building is not widely seen, its photograph rarely or never published, it simply does not enter into architectural discourse. Many buildings photographed by Julius Shulman suffered this fate, their images falling into oblivion. With this book, TASCHEN brings them to light, paying homage to California Modernism in all its forms.
The abandoned files of Julius Shulman show us another side of Modernism that has stayed quiet for so many years. Bringing together nearly 200 forgotten masterpieces, Modernism Rediscovered pays tribute to these lesser known yet outstanding contributions to the modern architectural movement. It's like sneaking into a private history, into homes that have rarely been seen and hardly appreciated as of yet. About the series:

Building and Dwelling - Ethics for the City
In Building and Dwelling, Richard Sennett distils a lifetime's thinking and practical experience to explore the relationship between the good built environment and the good life. He argues for, and describes in rich detail, the idea of an open city, one in which people learn to manage complexity. He shows how the design of cities can enrich or diminish the everyday experience of those who dwell in them.
The book ranges widely - from London, Paris and Barcelona to Shanghai, Mumbai and Medellin in Colombia - and draws on classic thinkers such as Tocqueville, Heidegger, Max Weber, and Walter Benjamin. It also draws on Sennett's many decades as a practical planner himself, testing what works, what doesn't, and why. He shows what works ethically is often the most practical solution for cities' problems.
This is a humane and thrilling book, which allows us to think freshly about how we live in cities. The experience and wisdom of the author are visible on every page. His voice is distinctive and engaging. It should attract anyone interested in the physical circumstances of civilization.

Litomyšl
Město na řece Loučné má mnoho tváří. Je historická, ale i moderní. Význam historické Litomyšle byl ještě umocněn 1. prosince 1999, kdy byl zdejši zámek spolu s okolím na zámeckém návrší zapsán do Seznamu památek světového kulturního dědictví UNESCO. Zámecký areál, který spolu se sousedícím piaristickým kostelem a klášterem tvoří hlavní dominantu města, si uchoval své prostředí nezměněné od počátku 19. století a je jednou z nejvýznamnějších památek renesance u nás. Budova, stojící na místě gotického biskupského hradu ze 14. století, rozvíjí do monumentální podoby typ italského paláce s arkádovým dvorem, třemi nádvořími, třípatrovými klenutými arkádami, bohatě členěnými štíty a komíny. Interiéry zámku byly upraveny v pozdním baroku a raném klasicismu a doplněny bohatou malířskou výzdobou. Unikátně se z této doby dochovalo zámecké divadlo včetně souboru malovaných kulis a dekorací. K zámeckému areálu patří kromě parku i původně renesanční pivovar, který byl v první třetině 18. století barokně přestavěn Františkem Maxmiliánem Kaňkou, dále jízdárna, konírny a kočárovna. Město Litomyšl má ovšem ještě jinou pozoruhodnou prioritu, současnou architekturu. Raně novověké uměni a kultura se v něm setkávají s vysoce kvalitní současnou architekturou a uměním a vytvářejí tak přinejmenším ve středoevropském prostředí určitě ne tak obvyklý celek. Toto sepětí raného novověku i současnosti představuje a zdůrazňuje právě tato publikace. Autoři publikace Litomyšl (se spolutitulem) Zámecké návrší čele s editorem Prof. PhDr. Jiřím Kroupou přibližují čtenáři na 120 stánkách knihy historii a měnící se podoby města, hradu, zámku a celého zámeckého návrší s měnícími se majiteli. Klášterní projekty, jejich tvůrce, sochaře, malíře. Zámecké divadlo a další stavby. Na závěr potom pozoruhodnou proměnu města v posledních desetiletích. Texty jsou bohatě ilustrované historickými obrázky i současnými fotografiemi Jiřího Podrazila.
Eurotopians
How do we want to live? How shall we build? Where can we find ideas for the houses and cities of the future? Niklas Maak and Johanna Diehl focus their attention on these highly topical questions in their joint project “Eurotopians”. In times of change this volume casts its backward gaze on the work of European utopians in order to find visions for the present. During the 1960s and 1970s visionary architecture was created in Europe which raised fundamental questions about our current ideas of how we should live. Many of these buildings are in ruins and their architects forgotten – although they still live there. Maak visited them and created an “archaeology of the utopian”, which shows that important ideas for the world of tomorrow can be found in the ruins. Johanna Diehl has taken impressive photographs of great intensity. In the ruins of these utopias of the modern age she discovered pictures of revolutionary approaches to life which seem surprisingly topical.
