Čtvrtý rozměr architektury
Texty obsažené v této knize si nekladou za cíl objevit jedinou pravdu o čase v architektuře a prostorových vztazích, které ji formují. Jsou to úvahy, které by snad mohly naznačit některé vztahy a vazby prostoru a času, na které je, podle mého názoru, dobré myslet při tvorbě nových staveb. V překotném životě tvůrčího architekta na ně nebývá vždy čas ani síla.
Ale pokud si troufáme posouvat se kupředu v evolučním vývoji světa, musíme se občas vracet k jeho základním atributům. A hledat jejich podstatu a výklad pro momentální čas, v němž budoucí dílo teprve vzniká.
Tato publikace by si považovala za čest, kdyby mohla být byť jen pomůckou, která pomůže otevřít určitou v ní popsanou oblast myšlení.
Je určena architektům, studentům, developerům, a hlavně všem, kteří rádi myslí.
Samozřejmě svůj vlastní výklad problému si musí každý tvůrce ujasnit sám.

Nomadic Homes
Nomadic homes come in all shapes and sizes. They are for the wealthy and the poor, the trendy and the out-of-luck. Changing one’s place of residence is an endeavor that is as old as humanity, for reasons of season, or, more recently, to better occupy leisure time.
Written and edited by Philip Jodidio, this volume with illustrations by Russ Gray contains some of the most remarkable examples of homes on the move. Starting with totally revamped Airstream mobile homes, and going on to spectacular moveable vacation houses of the Epic Retreats “pop-up boutique hotel” in Wales, this book doesn’t stop moving, surveying the best in campers and tents, and going on to extravagant marine dwellings like BIG’s Urban Rigger, or the Manta Underwater Room in Zanzibar. At the other end of the spectrum, we find refugee housing for those forced into a life on the move, including shelters designed by the Pritzker Prize–winning architect Shigeru Ban.
What we discover throughout is that the nomadic spirit of our hunter-gatherer ancestors is very much alive in the modern world. Where architecture has often sought stability and thus the lack of movement, modernity has brought a sense of the finite, and a good deal of modesty about posterity and longevity. What more contemporary thought could there be than to seek nothing so much as to move, to grow perhaps, but always to move. “A good traveler,” said the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu “has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.” As this book ably shows, it is the journey that counts.

Praha secesní
Na přelomu 19. a 20. století prochází Praha zásadní proměnou: stává se opět reprezentačním centrem života českého národa a vyrůstá ve velkoměsto s požadavky modernosti, jež se ovšem neobejde bez rozsáhlejší asanace pražského Starého Města. Vedle staveb v historizujících slozích začínají vznikat veřejné budovy, hotely, restaurace, pavilony a obytné domy podle principů „nového stylu“ – secese. V dekorativním secesním stylu, který získal sympatie i svým francouzským původem, bylo přestavěno hlavní pražské nádraží, výraznou secesní dominantou se stala reprezentační stavba české pražské majority Obecní dům, zpřístupněný počátkem roku 1912.
Současně se v moderní pražské architektuře otevřela její další významná kapitola – kubismus. Komentátorem formování moderní Prahy se stal vynikající, všeobecně respektovaný historik umění Petr Wittlich. Jeho pojímání secese nejen jako stylu, ale i hnutí získávajícího prostor pro rozvoj individuální umělecké kreativity, přivádí čtenáře ke vnímání širších souvislostí proměn Prahy na přelomu století.
Města zdí
Kniha Anny Beaty Háblové pojednává o obchodních centrech, jejich architektonickém vývoji, ale i o roli, jakou hrají v životě současné společnosti i v rámci urbanistické struktury města. Fundovaný a poučený výklad se zde kombinuje s velmi čtivou formou, doplněnou vtipnými ilustracemi. Při vší odlehčenosti textu však publikace Města zdí jasně poukazuje na závažnost problému, který obchodní centra vnesla do městského organismu a městského života. Obchodní centrum není jen jedním z mnoha stavebních typů, ale je fenoménem, na němž lze odhalit mnohé podstatné rysy současné civilizace. Autorčina kritika nákupních center však není jednostranná ¬– chápe, že obchodní centra jsou a budou součástí našeho urbánního prostředí a je třeba hledat formy, jak je lze koncipovat vstřícněji vůči okolní městské tkáni.
Garden City
How far can we expand the concept of `urban nature'? How would it make us feel? And how is it going to transform our cities - and, eventually, ourselves? Garden City captures the growing global movement among contemporary architects for biodesigning buildings less as skin and bodies - structure and facade - and more as living entities, capable of being ecologically autonomous, horticulturally productive and ultimately pleasing to our day-to-day lifestyles. It presents more than 100 (mostly completed) projects, a life-affirming range of buildings and design ideas that can be applied to new buildings and those needing rehabilitation. From office buildings that incorporate urban farms and exchange the CO2 produced by humans for food and oxygen produced by plants, to lightweight systems for growing gardens on vertical surfaces; from `tree houses' the size of city blocks to civic buildings that are `plugged into' existing water-management systems - there are rich and often unexpected ideas for every inquiring designer.
The future of our urban architecture is biologically alert, naturally self-sustaining and alive. Garden City is this future's first manifesto.
Take A Bath
An oasis within the home: contemporary bathroom design that can be simultaneously luxurious and functional. Where can you start your morning routine and unwind and relax at the end of a long day? The Bathroom. It can be a sanctuary within one's own four walls or a place to pause before rushing out of the door. From the utilitarian to the luxurious and from the Victorian-influenced to the modern, these rooms are also showcases from stunning design. Whether looking for resourceful solutions for a guest bathroom or rich details to add to a decadent master bath, one is sure to find inspiration within the pages of Take a Bath. Examples from large firms and smaller designers pair with conversations with those who create the practical and splendid spaces.
Gio Ponti
Inventing Modernity The godfather of Italian design Italian architect and designer Gio Ponti (1891-1979) is difficult to pin down. With an extraordinarily prolific output and eclectic style, his oeuvre remains one of the most diverse and groundbreaking in design history. Trained initially in architecture, Ponti soon moved into industrial and interior design, experimenting with ceramics, silverware, and glass. Ponti's key works are spread throughout this extensive overview, including structures of all kinds, from small residential dwellings to high-rise buildings, schools, and office blocks. The home was one of Ponti's recurring interests and central areas of innovation. His talent for total design--a careful consideration of both interior and exterior space--is charted in the glossy reproductions, floor plans, and drawings featured in this edition. Ponti's colorful, carefree, and elegant spaces blended an expressive neoclassicism with emerging modernist sensibility. The founder and nearly lifelong editor of domus magazine never ceased to develop and reinvent his style. From the Denver Art Museum to his collection of churches, from bespoke homeware to the symbol of modern Milan, the Pirelli Tower, this monograph provides an introduction to Ponti's exuberant creativity and illustrious career. "Pure architecture is a crystal. When it is pure, it is clear like a crystal--magic, closed, exclusive, autonomous, unsullied, absolute, conclusive like a crystal. Architecture refuses unfinished shapes... Architecture begins and ends. Architecture stands." -- Gio Ponti
100 Contemporary Wood Buildings
Timberland The wooden structures of the 21st century Not so very long ago, some might have considered wood a material of the past, long since replaced by more modern components such as concrete and steel. The truth is radically different. Bolstered by new manufacturing techniques and ecological benefits, wood has seen a fabulous resurgence in contemporary construction. This Bibliotheca Universalis edition explores how architects around the world have created and invented with this elementary material. Featuring follies, very large buildings, and ambitious urban renewal schemes, it celebrates the diverse deployment of wood by architects around the world. We see how wood can at once transform urban spaces, as in the Metropol Parasol in Seville by Jurgen Mayer H., and allow for sensitive interventions in natural environments, such as at the Termas Geometricas Hot Springs Complex in Pucon, Chile, by German del Sol. True to all TASCHEN architecture titles, the book pays tribute to many emerging international talents as well as to such renowned figures as Tadao Ando to Renzo Piano. It celebrates each architect's vision and innovation, as well as investigating the techniques, trends, and principles that have informed their work with wood. It examines the computer guided milling that has allowed for novel new forms, the responsible harvesting that allows wood to align with our environmental concerns, and, above all, wood's enduring appeal to our senses and psyche, comforting hectic modern lives with a sense of Arcadian simplicity.About the series: Bibliotheca Universalis-- Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe at an unbeatable, democratic price!Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, the name TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible, open-minded publishing. Bibliotheca Universalis brings together nearly 100 of our all-time favorite titles in a neat new format so you can curate your own affordable library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia.Bookworm's delight -- never bore, always excite!
Saarinen
Sculptural Structures Eero Saarinen's new dimensions The creator of the ubiquitous Knoll "Tulip" chairs and tables, Eero Saarinen (1910-1961) was one of the 20th century's most prominent space shapers, merging dynamic forms with a modernist sensibility across architecture and design. Among Saarinen's greatest accomplishments are Washington D.C.'s Dulles International Airport, the very sculptural and fluid TWA terminal at JFK Airport in New York, and the 630 ft. (192 m) high Gateway Arch of St. Louis, Missouri, each of them defining structures of postwar America. Catenary curves were present in many of his structural designs. During his long association with Knoll, Saarinen's other famous furniture pieces included the "Grasshopper" lounge chair and the "Womb" settee. Married to Aline Bernstein Saarinen, a well-known critic of art and architecture, Saarinen also collaborated with Charles Eames, with whom he designed his first prize-winning chair. With rich illustration tracing his life and career, this architecture introduction follows Saarinen from his studies to training to his most prestigious projects, and explores how each of his designs brought a new dimension to the modernist landscape.
Na konci cesty - Krematórium v Bratislave - At the End of the Road The Bratislava Crematorium
Kniha sa podrobne zaoberá mimoriadnym architektonickým dielom - bratislavským krematóriom. Postavili ho pred pol storočím (1968) za neobyčajne priaznivej súhry okolností, no predchádzal tomu dlhý zápas o jeho zriadenie, ktorého počiatky siahajú až do roku 1889. Preto kniha približuje aj históriu moderného kremačného hnutia v Európe so zreteľom na dlhý zápas mesta Bratislava o krematórium, ďalej sa zaoberá domácimi a zahraničnými architektonickými podnetmi, ktoré ovplyvnili architektúru objektu. Okrem príbehu samotnej budovy a urnového hája, v ktorom stojí, sa dočítate o tvorivej dráhe autora budovy, architekta Ferdinanda Milučkého, príslušníka prvej povojnovej slovenskej architektonickej generácie, ale aj súvislostiach vzniku pozoruhodných výtvarných diel z areálu krematória - sôch od troch špičkových slovenských výtvarníkov. Text Matúša Dullu v slovenčine a angličtine sprevádzajú umelecké fotografie Olje Triašky Stefanović. Snímky citlivo zachytávajú premeny krematória a prostredia, v ktorom sa nachádza, počas jednotlivých ročných období. Publikácia vychádza pri príležitosti päťdesiateho výročia vzniku prvého slovenského krematória.

Dutch Interior Design by Leonie Hendrikse & Jeroen Stock
Maximum inspiration: striking photography, moodboards, and customized interiors
A unique coffee table book that provides profound insights into the world of finer living
Experience the look and feel of flexible, contemporary Dutch interior design
Like British pop music, Italian food, and German Cars, Dutch interior design is evolving into a trademark with its own quality seal. Leonie Hendrikse and Jeroen Stock are becoming the archetype of this new mastery in design. Under the Stock Interiors label, they fuse the Dutch interior design creed: joyful experimentation unbound by convention with their own unique touch. The imaginative designs created at Stock Interiors center on the idea that memories are the colorful foundation of our lives. Their passion is learning about the homeowner’s personality and memories, and translating them into an interior design that fits like a glove. You will fall in love with the featured homes and apartments that immediately embrace you with a wonderfully homey ambiance. Dutch Interior Design introduces you to the sumptuous designs of Leonie Hendrikse and Jeroen Stock with beautiful photography and incisive commentary. Superstar saxophone player and Stock Interiors customer, Candy Dulfer, compares their artistry to her own, saying “Great music is like a jigsaw puzzle: oddly-shaped interlocking pieces form a unique composition. Open this book to discover that the creations of Stock are just like a beautifully-composed song.”
LEONIE HENDRIKSE and JEROEN STOCK founded their interior design company in 2005. It all started with just the two of them in a small workshop in Amsterdam, and over the years has grown into a dedicated and hardworking team. With a roster of discerning international clients, Stock Interiors has earned its place in the design world, with an office now located in the beautiful historical Barnaart Building in the heart of Haarlem.
