Natural Living by Design
The author of the acclaimed Living Well by Design now harnesses the power of design to create a healthy home that not only looks beautiful but also contributes to our quality of life
In her new book, internationally renowned design and style authority Melissa Penfold turns her attention from the basics of interior decorating to demonstrating what a powerful force design can be in boosting our physical and emotional well-being. Each chapter is devoted to an aspect of healthy, life-enhancing design, including "Ease," "Flow," "Light," "Nature," "Timelessness," and "Awe." All underscore the importance of introducing lots of natural light; using natural, non-toxic materials (clay plaster, timber, stone); incorporating nature into our homes, whether through views of the outside world or by filling our interior with plants; creating lots of storage (mess is stress); and recognizing the power that color has on our state of mind. Illustrating each chapter are photographs of beautiful rooms in homes around the world that embody the salutary properties of Natural Living by Design.
The World of Peter Dunham
A-list interior designer Peter Dunham's first book reveals his singular approach to colorful, pattern-filled interiors with world-class photography of never-before-seen projects.
Peter Dunham is a Los Angeles-based interior designer known for his bold use of color and pattern, sophisticated yet casual style, and a timeless feeling. The Wall Street Journal described his style as "Merchant Ivory Moderne" and "restraint with a kick." The World of Peter Dunham features a dozen of Dunham's most recent projects, ranging from chic New York City penthouses to sun-kissed California gems, as well as Dunham's own residences, including his Paris pied-a-terre. Each chapter's rich imagery illuminates a tenet of his design ethos - Color, Rhythm, Togetherness, Nature - along with the people and places that have shaped his unique point of view. Here is a dynamic mix of projects, many featuring Dunham's internationally acclaimed textiles, all presented in stunning photographs.
Dunham and his design team split their time between restoring older houses and collaborating with renowned architects on brand-new residences. Current projects include a modernist Marmol Radziner house overlooking the Pacific in Montecito, residences in Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Newport Beach, New York City, Dallas, Sag Harbor, Montana, and an iconic 1963 Horace Gifford house on Fire Island.
Contingent Agencies
Contingent Agencies is an artistic research project initiated by Alex Arteaga and Nikolaus Gansterer. It is dedicated to the dynamic relationship between human and nonhuman forces as conditions for the emergence of atmospheres. The cross-disciplinary investigation utilizes practices of notating, reflecting, showing, and sharing that are employed in different media and within different theoretical contexts such as phenomenology, enactivism, and new materialism. This book, which is supplemented by an extensive online archive, contains numerous research artifacts such as texts, drawings, photo series, diagrams, sound recordings, and video stills and is intended as an invitation to a wider community to participate in this investigation.

Richard Rogers on Modern Architecture
‘Thames & Hudson’s new, affordable, covetable ‘Pocket Perspectives’: beautifully illustrated essays by canonical writers’ Financial Times
A manifesto for the future of architectural practice and the necessity of good design to modern life, by renowned British architect Richard Rogers.
Written in what architect Richard Rogers regarded as a moment of crisis in modern architecture, this essay considers how the way we build – and live – might change for the better. Poor design, monotony and inhuman scale are, Roger argues, not the results of a lack of talent nor the failures of the Modern Movement, but of a surrender to exploitative economic systems and inconsiderate business interests.
Best known for his work on the Pompidou Centre in Paris, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg and the Lloyd's building and Millennium Dome in London, Rogers was perhaps the most original and inventive architect of his time, and was a frequent commentator on the contemporary scene. As a practitioner, he was in the best position possible to appreciate how economic forces can create – or frustrate – good design. A succinct summary of his design philosophies, Richard Rogers on Modern Architecture continues to be a powerful manifesto.

Prázdné domy - obytné a industriální
V již třetím díle knihy o prázdných, ale zajímavých domech se vydáme na další cestu za fascinujícími místy, která se mi podařilo navštívit a zdokumentovat. Tentokrát se zaměříme na obytné objekty, tedy vily, zámky a paláce, ale také na budovy, které dříve sloužily veřejnosti – od průmyslových staveb po kulturní centra. Příběhy těchto domů se neustále vyvíjejí, a zatímco některé z nich se stále nacházejí v dezolátním stavu, jiné už prošly rekonstrukcí a znovu ožily. Příkladem je zámek Nová Včelnice, který se prodával ve zcela zchátralé podobě – dokonce natolik, že se jeho správce propadl podlahou. V této knize naleznete unikátní fotografie zachycující proměnu těchto míst před a po rekonstrukci.
Kniha přináší zkrátka to nejlepší z databáze prázdných domů, doplněné o časové osy a bohatou fotodokumentaci.
Ukrainian Modernism
Ukraine's overlooked modernist buildings are under threat from development, decommunization and war. Photographer Dmytro Soloviov has crossed Ukraine documenting them to form the most comprehensive publication available on the subject.
What does Ukrainian Modernist architecture look like and why isn't it better-known in the west?
Photographer and architectural tour guide Dmytro Soloviov is fighting to preserve the disappearing modernist heritage of his native Ukraine.
These innovative buildings are an extraordinary blend of function, avant-garde aesthetics and ingenious design, but despite these qualities, they remain largely unrecognised. This is a result of several factors, including the stigma of belonging to the Soviet era, corruption, neglect, as well as the ongoing threat of destruction from both unscrupulous developers and war.
From masterpieces such as the Kyiv Crematorium and Salut Hotel, to previously undocumented examples like the Uzhhorod Airport Terminal and the Novoarkhanhelsk Police Station, Soloviov has traversed Ukraine photographing the exteriors and interiors of these important buildings and their monumental art (mosaics, stained glass and sculptures). While the nation's attention is consumed by more existential matters, he has documented the unique identity of one of the least catalogued periods of Soviet architecture, his images forming a singular record of an unexpected and rapidly disappearing legacy.
An introduction by renowned architecture critic Owen Hatherley, complete with historical images, cements these buildings in a cultural and political context. With over 120 examples across 240 pages, this publication is the most comprehensive available on the subject.
New Tiny Houses
New exciting and surprising design approaches how great living quality can be wonderfully made possible in small spaces.
A tiny house is much more than just a very small residence. It is a living concept that reflects the challenges of the future – from the fundamental question of how to finance the dream of home ownership to more complex considerations, such as whether doing without material luxury means more freedom, to social issues such as how we deal with our planet's resources.
This volume presents remarkable examples of masterfully implemented solutions for tiny houses. The designs of these micro-wonders show that even – or especially – well thought-out room concepts can be realized in the smallest of spaces, without sacrificing excellent design. Intelligent floor plans, multifunctional rooms and ingenious nesting of furnishing components create not only compact living spaces, but also unique habitats.
Wild Cities
Nature isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. But today the majority of the world’s population lives in some form of urban environment. And by 2050, two-thirds of humanity will live in towns and cities.
Studies have shown that a daily walk in the woods can improve our health and happiness, that those who can observe a natural scene through a hospital window will recover faster. The sound of birds, the smell of tree oils, the presence of free-flowing water – these are all vital to our wellbeing. So as the human footprint of brick, concrete and metal expands, how do we protect our connection to the natural world?
In Wild Cities, Chris Fitch leads us around the world in search of answers, visiting pioneering cities and meeting the people working at the forefront of this issue. From the tiny urban forests in Tokyo and the star-rich skies of Flagstaff, to the meandering river of Munich and lions prowling through gardens in Nairobi, this is a globe-spanning look at how to bring nature into the places we live – and how to create the wild cities of the future.
Koncept 09 - Strecha
KONCEPT č. 09 sa venuje téme strechy. Strecha pre architekta predstavuje výzvu spájať funkčnosť s estetikou, ochranu s eleganciou. Je to miesto, kde sa stretávajú technické znalosti s kreativitou, a zároveň finálny dotyk, ktorý budove dáva jej charakter a identitu. Slovenská strešná krajina je (niekedy až príliš) pestrá. Zameriame sa na to najnovšie uvažovanie o architektúre v kontexte histórie a predstavíme si opäť výber inšpiratívnych realizácií (nielen) k tejto téme.
Frank Lloyd Wright
A comprehensive monograph on Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the great masters of modern architecture
This comprehensive monograph on the renowned twentieth-century architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, explores both his major architectural designs and many of his minor projects in detail. Robert McCarter analyses Wright’s work chronologically, exploring each building’s spatial experience, material and tectonic character, and relationship to the landscape.
Now in a fully revised and updated new edition, this definitive account of the life and work of the modern master features an extensive selection of archival drawings, specially commissioned photographs, redrawn plans, and detailed drawings, as well as a complete list of Wright’s buildings and projects compiled by the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives.
CARTHA – Building Identity
Explores the role of architecture in forming identity in society through interviews with renowned scholars and a set of projects by international firms especially designed for this book.
In their new book, the international CARTHA network engages with the question of forming identity in society and the role that architecture plays in this process. Inspired by Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalytical approach, CARTHA’s members break down identity formation into four processes, which they explore in interviews. Maarten Delbeke, professor of history and theory of architecture at ETH Zurich, talks about assimilation, while Frederike Lausch, a researcher at TU Darmstadt’s Department of Architecture, discusses appropriation. Rob Krier, a Berlin- and Liguria-based architect and sculptor examines denial, and Jonathan Sergison, a London-based architect, reflects on reconciliation.
Together, these conversations set the overall conceptual frame for a new, speculative design methodology, which is put to test by international architecture firms: Made In (Switzerland), Sam Jacob Studio (Britain), Monadnock (Netherlands), Bruther (France / Switzerland), Bureau Spectacular (USA), Conen Sigl (Switzerland), and Studio Muoto (France) have been invited to submit a design for a new dwelling, drawing from projects inserted in their own conceptual, social, and physical contexts. CARTHA—Building Identities is a handbook for architectural design, beautifully illustrated through plans, sections, montages, and texts.
Klasický jazyk architektury
Klasická architektura je vizuální „jazyk“ a stejně jako každý jiný jazyk má svá gramatická pravidla. Všechny stavby vykazují povědomí o těchto pravidlech, i když je variují, porušují nebo popírají. Christopher Wren je popsal jako „latinu“ architektury a tato analogie je téměř přesná. Rozdíl je však v tom, že zatímco učení se latině je pomalé a obtížné, jazyk klasické architektury je relativně jednoduchý. Je to stále do značné míry způsob vyjadřování našeho městského prostředí, neboť klasická architektura byla až do poměrně nedávné doby běžným jazykem západního světa. Každý, koho architektura silně oslovuje, již pravděpodobně sám objevil něco z její gramatiky.
V této knize si autor klade za cíl co nejjednodušeji a nejnázorněji vyložit přesné gramatické fungování tohoto architektonického jazyka.
Nezabývá se ani tak jeho vývojem v Řecku a Římě, jako spíše jeho rozšířením a používáním ve staletích následujících po renesanci. Vysvětluje disciplínu „řádů“ a dramatické odchylky baroka a v poslední kapitole vztah mezi klasickou tradicí a dnešní „moderní“ architekturou.
New York, New York, New York
Michael Sorkin patří mezi nejpřímočařejší a nejbrilantnější autory píšící o architektuře. Ve svém souboru esejů What Goes Up, česky vydaném pod názvem New York, New York, New York, svižně a s humorem, ale přitom s hlubokým vhledem rozebírá procesy, které z jeho milovaného New Yorku udělaly město nablýskaných, ale vyprázdněných mrakodrapů a rostoucí nerovnosti. Rozkrývá zde podoby a praktiky těchto procesů od územního plánování a politických dohod až po jemné detaily architektonického designu a neváhá si přitom brát na paškál nejen developery, politiky a úředníky, ale i slavné starchitekty, jejichž stavby jsou někdy víc značkou než kvalitou. Není však jen kritikem, oceňuje město, které je budované zdola, v lidském měřítku a sestává z udržitelných, spravedlivých a živých sousedství, čímž navazuje na novinářku a aktivistku Jane Jacobs. Třebaže se Sorkinovy eseje zaměřují převážně na New York a byly napsány v letech 2010 až 2017, jsou přenositelné do dalších velkých měst i současnosti. Problémy, které glosuje, jako třeba gentrifikace, krize bydlení, monetizace veřejného prostoru, bezhlavě uplatňované zahušťování, stavění jen pro investice, urbanismus odvislý od automobilismu a mnohé další, jsou totiž dnes aktuálnější než kdy dříve.

Interwar
British architecture between the wars is most famous for the rise of modernism - the flat roofs, clean lines and concrete of the Isokon flats in Hampstead and the Penguin Pool at London Zoo - but the reality was far more diverse. As the modernists came of age and the traditionalists began to decline, there arose a rich variety of styles and tastes in Britain and across the empire, a variety that reflected the restless zeitgeist of the years before the Second World War.
At the time of his death in 2017, Gavin Stamp, one of Britain's leading architectural critics, was at work on a deeply considered account of British architecture in the interwar period, correcting what he saw as the skewed view of earlier historians who were unable to see past modernism. Beginning with a survey of the modern movement after the armistice, Interwar untangles the threads that link lesser-known movements like the Egyptian revival with the enduring popularity of the Tudorbethan, to chronicle one of Britain's most dynamic architectural periods. The result is more than an architectural history - it is the portrait of a changing nation.
As an account of the period that still shapes much of Britain's towns and cities, Gavin Stamp's final work is the definitive history of British architecture between the Great War and the Blitz.
Alfred Piffl. Architekt s dušou pamiatkara
Monografia Alfred Piffl / Architekt s dušou pamiatkara je exkluzívnym príspevkom ku komplexnému poznaniu osobného a odborného profilu výnimočnej osobnosti, akým nestor architektonického vzdelávania na Slovensku, prvý dekan Fakulty architektúry STU v Bratislave prof. Dr. Ing. arch. Alfred Piffl, CSc. (1907 – 1972 ) bol. V jeho všestrannom diele sa od počiatku prelínal architektonický, vedeckovýskumný, pedagogický a umelecký rozmer ako reflexia interdisciplinárneho prístupu k dejinám architektúry či záchrane architektonického dedičstva na území bývalého Československa.
Profesor Piffl zanechal po sebe mnohostranné a v mnohých ohľadoch stále nedocenené dielo, ktorý sa v najväčšej miere prejavil v rámci záchrany a rekonštrukcie Bratislavského hradu. A hoci sa neskôr stal obeťou totalitného režimu a jeho meno nadlho zapadlo nielen v súvislosti s obnovou Hradu do zabudnutia, jednako stál pri zrode a realizácii najrozsiahlejšej pamiatkarskej akcie na Slovensku vôbec. Práve v zápase o Bratislavský hrad sa naplno prejavili nielen jeho ľudské i odborné kvality, ale najmä mnohodimenzionálna komplexnosť architekta, pamiatkara, historika architektúry, pedagóga, archeológa, vedca bádateľa, ale i poeta či umelca, zachytávajúceho kresbou čaro okamihu či presnosť architektonického detailu. Tieto danosti ho predurčili na to, aby pamiatkam pri ich obnove neraz symbolicky vdýchol druhý život a pred budúcimi generáciami poodhalil tajomstvá ruín i archeologických nálezov.
Toto je priestor venovaný fascinujúcemu svetu stavebných diel, dizajnu a konštrukcie. Kategória kníh o architektúre vás zavedie do sveta, kde sa stretávajú funkčnosť, estetika a inovácia, aby vytvorili unikátne a pôsobivé stavby.
