New Swiss Architecture
Established on the global stage by the international success and influence of architects such as Peter Zumthor and Herzog & de Meuron, today's generation of architects in Switzerland draws on the country's distinctive landscape of alpine peaks, crystalline lakes and efficient cities, and fuses traditional Swiss materials with new high-tech tools and innovative construction methods. New Swiss Architecture documents fifty of the most important buildings of the last decade through architectural photographs that highlight their exceptional detail, attention to context and material experimentation. Because of their isolated locations, many of these buildings are little known, despite having been designed by leading architects, including Christ & Gantenbein, Gigon/Guyer, Valerio Olgiati, Charles Pictet, Richter Dahl Rocha and Diener & Diener. The book is presented in two sections: the first comprises a photographic portfolio of projects organized into themes: Alpine, Infrastructural, Recreational, Rural, Suburban, Urban. The second section describes each of the featured buildings through drawings, plans and concise texts.
Le Corbusier
Born Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, Le Corbusier (1887-1965) adopted his famous pseudonym after publishing his ideas in the review L'Esprit Nouveau in 1920. The few buildings he was able to design during the 1920s, when he also spent much of his time painting and writing, brought him to the forefront of modern architecture. But it was not until after World War II that his epoch-making buildings were constructed, such as the Unite d'Habitation apartment complex in Marseilles, and the chapel of Notre Dame du Haut in Ronchamp.
Vanek
V keramickej tvorbe do architektúry sa Vanek sústredí predovšetkým na monumentálny reliéf, celoplošne pokrývajúci stenu, Jeho monumentálne reliéfy sebavedome vstupujú do architektonického priestoru. Vanek v priebehu desaťročí dosahuje výnimočnú kvalitu pôsobenia svojích diel v architektonickom priestore. Plasticita, farebnosť, odvážne spájanie motívov, prelínanie abstrakcie so symbolizmom vyčleňujú jeho diela z radikálne prevažujúcej produkcie monumentálnych diel. Nič podobné nebolo vytvorené.
Blob - Round Shapes, Fluid Forms
The term "Blob Architecture" was first used in 1995 by Greg Lynn to describe biomorphic buildings, whose complex forms were created with the help of computers. Initially only used to describe organic, rounded objects "Blobitecture" today comprises and inspires many variations: from the classic, computer-generated blob to the experimenting with new, sprawling shapes, up to the combination with deconstructive elements or parametric architecture. On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of blob architecture, this volume features the best contemporary projects and provides an extensive survey of current developments. Buildings from all around the world are presented, created by famous architects and promising newcomers and ranging from large-scale projects to temporary installations. They all have one thing in common even after twenty years blob architecture remains as freshly interesting and promising as ever."
Urbex.cz
Svědectví o kráse zániku, která se skrývá na dosah našich všedních kroků. K jejímu objevování je však třeba najít odvahu. Fotografická publikace mapuje jeden z nejprogresivnějších fenoménů dneška - urbex, tedy průzkum moderních ruin. Dosud nezveřejněné snímky, umocněné reportážními texty, přibližují místa nahánějící hrůzu i hypnotizující svou dekadentní estetikou. Strhující cesta napříč Českou republikou, okořeněná výletem do zahraničí. "To, co jsem spatřil, mě nadchlo - zašlé zkumavky, lahvičky s různobarevným obsahem, zaprášené přístroje na odstřeďování tekutin, pipety, skleněné misky a kahany. A to vše se nacházelo ukryté za zdí jen pár metrů od rušné ulice, po které dennodenně procházejí nic netušící chodci," říká autor fotografií s přezdívkou DiverZant.
Tafofil
Vstupte s námi do mystického světa tajuplných hřbitovů. Průvodcem vám bude tafofil (řecky taphos znamená hrob). Člověk, který se toulá po hřbitovech s fotoaparátem a v zajetí kouzla, které chápe jen on. Podle zásad moderních objevitelů si neodnáší nic než fotky, které jako by viděly víc, než oči běžného návštěvníka. Teď máte i vy šanci projít se po tichých místech plných historie, osudů a tajemného šeptání těch, kteří tu byli před námi. Od pražských Olšan po neznámá místa kdesi u hranic. Navštívíme hroby křesťanské i židovské a pokusíme se spojit s jejich tajemstvím.

Aalto
Finnish architect Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) was strongly influenced by both the landscape of his native country, as well as the political struggle over Finland's place within European culture. After early neoclassical buildings, Aalto turned to ideas based on Functionalism, subsequently moving toward more organic structures, with brick and wood replacing plaster and steel. In addition to designing buildings, furniture, lamps, and glass objects with his wife Aino, he painted and was an avid traveler. A firm believer that buildings have a crucial role in shaping society, Aalto once said, "The duty of the architect is to give life a more sensitive structure."
Steven Holl
Comprehensive monograph on one of America's greatest living architects by award-winning author and architecture critic Robert McCarter. This in-depth monograph is devoted to one of the leading United States architects on the contemporary scene: Steven Holl (b.1947). Richly illustrated with hundreds of colour photographs and Holl's own watercolours, the book introduces the artist's personality and works, and the studio he founded in 1976, Steven Holl architects. Holl studied architecture at the University of Washington at Seattle, and later in Rome and at the Architectural Association in London. He has worked both in the United States and in Europe, and a great deal in the East, especially in Japan. His most important designs, outstanding in their respect for the cultural and historical environment in which they are set, include the Makuhari residential complex in Japan, the St. Ignatius chapel at the University of Seattle, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki and the extension of the Cranbrook Institute of Science at Bloomfield Hills in Michigan. A professor at the Graduate School of Architecture of Columbia University, Holl has held courses and given lectures in several other institutions in the United States. He has won many awards, including the Arnold W Brunner prize for architecture in 1990, and the Alvar Aalto medal in 1998. Robert McCarter has known and taught with Holl for over 30 years and provides an authoritative and personal examination of Holl and his work. A must-own book for architects as well as for students of the discipline. Richly illustrated with hundreds of colour photographs and Holl's own watercolours.
Tři cesty za architekturou
Kam nás osobitý architekt a spisovatel David Vávra svými kresbami v knize zavede? Podnikneme s ním cestu za základy naší kultury – do Řecka, cestu do země zaslíbené – do Izraele a nakonec cestu za zázrakem nové civilizace Latinské Ameriky. Originální kresby vznikly nejen během autorových soukromých výletů, ale především během natáčení televizního seriálu Šumné stopy. Nejedná se však pouze o obrazovou knihu. Každá kresba je doprovázena stručnými a hutnými popisky a některé kresby jsou doplněny drobným veršem, v němž je koncentrována celá podstata architektonického historického zastavení.
Home

In Home, she will, for the first time, open up about her love of home design and style. DeGeneres believes, "You don't have to have money to have good taste," and she plans to share her secrets and design ideas, with advice on how to get high-end looks on a mid-level budget. DeGeneres, who describes her real-estate and renovating adventures over the last twenty-five years as "an education," has long been passionate about design. "I think I wanted to be an interior designer when I was thirteen," DeGeneres said. Full of hundreds of beautiful photographs of seven of her own homes, as well as places she visits for inspiration, this book will be a treasure trove of beautiful rooms and hundreds of ideas and tips on putting together the home you've always wanted.
Wright
Widely thought to be the greatest American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) was a true pioneer, both artistically and technically. At a time when reinforced concrete and steel were considered industrial building materials, Wright boldly made use of them to build private homes. His prairie house concept - that of a low, sprawling home based upon a simple L or T figure - was the driving force behind some of his most famous houses and became a model for rural architecture across America. Wright's designs for office and public buildings were equally groundbreaking and unique. From Fallingwater to New York's Guggenheim Museum, his works are among the most famous in the history of architecture.
Archi-Graphic - An Infographic Look at Architecture
This informative and engaging book uses inventive and visually stunning infographics to take an unusual look at architecture in a way that would not be possible with words and images. Through a variety of different infographics it compares, for example, the range of materials and colours used by different architects, the relative locations of their buildings, who influenced who, and which architects are the most discussed. It also approaches architecture from more unconventional angles with spreads that show the kinds of architecture favoured by dictators, the networks of love affairs that architects got entangled in, and the defining facial features of famous architects. Irreverent and entertaining, this book will appeal to all those with an interest in architecture or infographics.
Working in Style
Gone are the times when offices were either huge factory-like spaces or tiny cell structures that were unimaginatively designed. Nowadays, they represent the identity of a corporation while also offering an inspiring workplace at the same time. Office design has developed into a complex discipline, which always tries to find new solutions to meet the needs of employees working in a diverse environment while supporting their motivation and productivity. This volume shows examples from around the world that not only incorporate the defining characteristics of an employer but also apply the latest findings of workplace research. The results are veritable office landscapes, ranging from the creatively designed work space of a start-up via a multi-functional subdivided office without fixed work stations, to elaborately equipped and prestigious office spaces. All projects contribute to understanding the future of office life.
Jutaku Japanese Houses
Quirky, surprising and entertaining - with more than 400 houses, Jutaku is architecture at the speed of Japan. Frenetic. Pulsating. Disorienting. Japan's contemporary culture is constantly in flux. In stark contrast to the centuries old imperial architecture of Kyoto, recent Japanese architectural practices have ushered in an era of continuous experimentation. With 500 houses, one house per page, one image per house, Jutaku: Japanese Houses is a fast-paced, "quick hit" shock to the system that shines a Harajuku-bright neon light on the sheer volume, variety and novelty of contemporary Japanese residential architecture. Featuring the work of many of Japan's most famous architects including Shigeru Ban, Sou Fujimoto, Toyo Ito, Kengo Kuma, Jun Igarishi, Shuhei Endo and dozens of up and coming and completely unknown young architects, Jutaku is organized geographically taking readers on a bullet train journey across Japan's architectural landscape. Essential reading for architects, designers and fans of contemporary Japanese culture.
