Building Community
This is the first survey in many years to explore contemporary apartments not as raw canvases for interior decoration but as a building type of growing significance. An introduction presents the history of multiple-occupancy housing through its most innovative 20th-century exemplars, from the urbane blocks of Auguste Perret and Henri Sauvage in Paris, to the landscaped housing estates of Weimar Germany and the visionary schemes of Le Corbusier. The heart of the book features 38 recent and ongoing projects, designed by leading international studios and rising talents. Buildings range from social housing and micro apartments to 'vertical villages', megastructures and luxury high-rises. Each project is considered for the way in which it enriches the lives of residents and the city, and is shown through drawings and photographs, taken from the street and within. The book also includes interviews with such contemporary masters of apartment design as Michael Maltzan, Lorcan O'Herlihy, Edouard Francois and Bjarke Ingels.As our cities grow more crowded, it is critical that we produce large-scale buildings that enhance the lives of their inhabitants, their surroundings and the urban environment as a whole. Building Community offers dozens of proven successes to designers and apartment-dwellers.

Space Works
A comprehensive guide to designing, decorating and furnishing your home. Every room in the house presents its own specific challenges as well as presenting a plethora of choices when it comes to choosing important (and expensive) elements such as flooring and lighting. Whether it's a stylish but practical kitchen floor or plenty of hardworking bedroom storage, in Space Works hard-working expert advice is on hand from Caroline Clifton-Mogg, Joanna Simmons and Rebecca Tanqueray. Every room is discussed in detail and the topics covered range from galley kitchens and bedroom lighting to choosing sanitary ware for bathrooms and creating children's work spaces for homework and crafting. Each chapter approaches planning and designing a hardworking and successful space, tackles the practicalities of the subject and provides a wealth of inspiration when it comes to making those tricky decorative decisions.
Gropius
Walter Gropius (1883-1969) set out to build for the future. As the founding director of the Bauhaus, the Berlin-born architect had an inestimable influence on our aesthetic environment, championing a bold new hybrid of light, geometry, and industrial design, as dazzling today as it was a century ago.In this essential architect introduction, we survey the evolution and influence of a 20th-century visionary with 20 of his most significant projects, from the Bauhaus Building in Dessau, Germany to the Chicago Tribune Tower and Harvard University Graduate Center, completed after Gropius' exodus to the United States in 1937. We explore his role both as an architectural practitioner, and as a writer and educator, not only as a Bauhaus pioneer, but also, along with Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, as a leading proponent of the International Style.
Breuer
In 1956, TIME magazine called him one of the defining "form-givers of the 20th century." Today, Marcel Breuer (1902-1981) remains a locus classicus of modernism for architects and designers alike. As a Bauhaus pioneer, even his earliest work was marked by a material restraint; the balance of texture, color, and shape; and a symbiosis of local and global, big and small, rough and smooth.In this essential introductory monograph, we survey Breuer's complete career through some of his most influential projects and ideas, from his landmark tubular furniture to the MoMA Research House to his innovation of "binuclear" housing, splitting living and sleeping areas into separate wings. Along the way, we follow Hungarian-born Breuer's journey to international acclaim, with featured projects from Germany, France, England, Switzerland, and across the United States contributing to his global status as a modernist maestro.
Stavby a architekti pohledem Zdeňka Lukeše 2
Kniha je již druhý výběr z textů věnovaných architektuře, které autor Zdeněk Lukeš publikoval v sobotní příloze Orientace v Lidových novinách, tentokrát většinou v letech 2013–2016. Na rozdíl od předchozího svazku obsahuje i stavby mimo naše území.
Nejprve se setkáme s řadou známých i méně známých osobností domácí scény a jejich stavbami v Praze a dalších městech. Záměrem je upozornit na mnohá architektonická díla z období zhruba posledních 100 let, která si zaslouží naši péči či památkovou ochranu, neboť dokumentují myšlení a tvůrčí elán našich předchůdců.
Ve druhé části autor představuje budovy a jejich tvůrce v řadě zemí – v Lotyšsku, Portugalsku, ve Španělsku, v Dánsku, ve Slovinsku, v Chorvatsku, ve Velké Británii, v Izraeli, USA, Itálii, Polsku, Rakousku, Německu nebo Irsku. Upozorňuje také na vazby světových tvůrců k našemu území nebo vliv jejich tvorby na české projektanty.

Built on Bones
Imagine you are a hunter-gatherer some 15,000 years ago. You've got a choice - carry on foraging, or plant a few seeds and move to one of those new-fangled settlements down the valley. What you won't know is that urban life is short and riddled with dozens of new diseases; your children will be shorter and sicklier than you are, they'll be plagued with gum disease, and stand a decent chance of a violent death at the point of a spear. Why would anyone choose this? This is one of the many intriguing questions tackled by Brenna Hassett in Built on Bones. Using research on skeletal remains from around the world, this book explores the history of humanity's experiment with the metropolis, and looks at why our ancestors chose city life, and why they have largely stuck to it. It explains the diseases, the deaths and the many other misadventures that we have unwittingly unleashed upon ourselves throughout the metropolitan past, and as the world becomes increasingly urbanised, what we can look forward to in the future. Telling the tale of shifts in human growth and health that have occurred as we transitioned from a mobile to a largely settled species.Built on Bones offers an accessible insight into a critical but relatively unheralded aspect of the human story: our recent evolution.
The glass of the architects: Vienna 1900-1937
The second catalog dedicated to international developments in twentieth- century glass, after Glass from Finland in the Bischofberger Collection.
Published in collaboration with the MAK Vienna and LE STANZE DEL VETRO on the occasion of the exhibition in Venice, this volume presents over 300 works from the collection of the MAK Austrian Museum of Applied Arts/Contemporary Art in Vienna and private collections. It focuses, for the first time, on the history of glassmaking in Austria from 1900 to 1937, a period spanning the last decades of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the First Republic.
In the early twentieth century, a group of young architects, designers, and fine arts and architecture students developed a special interest in the process of glassmaking. They paved the way to the first pioneering developments in twentieth-century glass production as they gained a thorough understanding of the material. The collaboration between architects and designers created the style of Viennese glass, found in new projects such as the Wiener Werkstätte or the Austrian Werkbund.

Dream Cities : Seven Urban Ideas That Shape the World
Beginning as a lightbulb flicker or a sketch on a napkin, the landmarks and sights of our public spaces that we now associate with the vast and impersonal reaches of history all began as living ideas in the minds of spirited dreamers. In this book, Wade Graham explores the visionary works that have set the blueprint for contemporary built spaces. From the utopian superblocks of Le Corbusier to the agrarian revivalism of Frank Lloyd Wright, Wade crafts profiles of the singular individuals who have come to define the places most of us live in.
The Japanese House Reinvented
Japanese houses today have to contend with unique factors that condition their design, from tiny plots in crowded urban contexts to ever-present seismic threats. These challenges encourage their architects to explore alternating ideas of stability and ephemerality in various ways, resulting in spaces that are as fascinating as they are idiosyncratic. Their formal innovation and attention to materials, technology and measures to coax in light and air while maintaining domestic privacy make them cutting-edge residences that suggest new ways of being at home. Contemporary Japanese architecture has emerged as a substantial force on the international scene ever since Kenzo Tange won the Pritzker Prize in 1987. This overview of 50 recent houses powerfully demonstrates Japan's enduring commitment to design innovation.
Kőházak
A Föld különböző tájain sokféle építőanyagot használtak, de mindenhol a szilárd kő volt a legfontosabb évezredeken át. A kő minden korban az állandóság és a biztonság szimbóluma volt - s ezzel együtt az emberi lét másik fontos részének, a hitnek, az örökkévalóságnak a jelképe is.
A kő mint építőanyag a római idők óta jelen van a Kárpát-medencében és végigkíséri a történelmünket. A mai napig meglepően sok kőház van hazánkban. A kötet áttekinti a magyarországi kőépítkezés történetét, ismerteti a kőfajtákat, a kőszerkezeteket és a kőből épült lakóházak jellemzőit. Külön fejezet foglalkozik a házak korszerűsítésével, ezért a könyv hasznos segítség a kőház-tulajdonosoknak, de a felújításukkal foglalkozó szakembereknek is.
Automat na výstavu
První monografie pavilonu ČSSR na Expo 67 vychází k příležitosti stejnojmenné výstavy v Chebu. Martin Bernátek, Vladimíra Büngerová, Daniela Kramerová, Henrieta Moravčíková, Terezie Nekvindová, Martin Strakoš a Marta Sylvestrová se v ní zaměřili na kritické zhodnocení československé účasti z hlediska problematiky výstavnictví, architektury, audiovizuálních exponátů nebo otázky česko-slovenských vztahů.
Světová výstava v Montrealu v roce 1967 byla druhou z trojice poválečných prezentací Československa na světových výstavách a navázala na iniciační moment Expo 58 v Bruselu. Expo 67, specifickým formátem mezi uměním, architekturou a uměleckým řemeslem, předznamenává dnešní podobu výstavního provozu svou internacionalizací, spektakularitou, masovostí a silným ukotvením v politickém, ekonomickém a společenském pozadí. Název Automat na výstavu evokuje výraznou atrakci československého pavilonu interaktivní biograf Kinoautomat, i dobovou víru v automatizaci jako symbol moderního světa. Především ale slouží jako metafora pro situaci, v níž naše montrealská účast vznikala: Expo 67 se ve své době stalo v Československu jakýmsi měřítkem pro kvalitní provedení výstavnických expozic, bylo však i známkou rutinérského přístupu vedoucího k rozmělnění.
Kostel svatého Jakuba v Brně
Kostel svatého Jakuba v Brně se od dob konce 2. světové války zásadně odlišuje od ostatních gotických kostelů v Evropě velkou intenzitou bílého světla, protože jeho barevné vitráže v oknech nebyly po jejich zničení již obnoveny. Interiér plný světla tak dává vyniknout jeho čistým gotickým liniím. Fotografie v této publikaci umožní čtenáři vnímat vyjímečnou krásu prosvětleného kostela, která ještě více vyniká po nedávné památkové obnově celého interiéru kostela. Prostřednictvím textu získáte základní informace o významné brněnské památce a o jejím složitém stavebním vývoji. Celek publikace Vás přesvědčí o kráse tohoto liturgického prostoru a jeho působení na člověka.
Slavné stavby Damase Deworezkého a Jana Sedláčka v jižních Čechách
Tato publikace mladé historičky umění Josefíny Frýbové představuje tvorbu dvou knížecích architektů a je připomínkou 200 let od narození třeboňského rodáka Damase Deworezkého (* 1816) a 100 let od úmrtí rodáka z moravských Napajedel, architekta a spisovatele Jana Sedláčka († 1916). Má podtitul Průvodce stavbami knížecích architektů a chtěla by prostřednictvím jejich staveb provést čtenáře po jižních Čechách a demonstrovat jedinečnost „schwarzenberského stavebního slohu“. V knížecí architektonické kanceláři, jejímiž významnými představiteli byli oba tito architekti a stavitelé, vznikalo mnoho projektů, od hospodářských staveb, sýpek, stodol, hájoven, ale i pivovarů, lihovarů nebo škol, po farní kostely či panská sídla. Provede na téměř 70 stránkách této útlé publikace zámeckými stavbami, zejména zámkem na Hluboké, mnohými kostely, schwarzenberskou hrobkou v Domaníně u Třeboně i hospodářskými stavbami, jimž vévodí Dvůr Vondrov u Hluboké nad Vltavou. Čtenář zde najde mnohé nové a zajímavé informace a obrazový doprovod. A také dost možná nové typy na architoulky po jedinečných jižních Čechách.
