It showcases a fascinating direction in graphic design, forged by a collision of technology, typography and trends which is creating new and exciting results.

Tapio Wirkkala at Venini
The latest installment in Skira's superb glass series explores the Finnish designer's work for Venini
This substantial overview explores Finnish designer and sculptor Tapio Wirkkala (1915-85) and his output for the famous Murano glass company Venini. Creator of the Finlandia vodka bottle and designer for companies such as Ittala, Wirkkala's activities with Venini represented a transitional phase in his versatile career and had a profound influence on the Murano glassmaking industry. Most famous of his works for Venini are his particolored bottles: clean, simple forms distinguished by seamless transitions in solid color. This was achieved with the incalmo technique, an ancient glassblowing method promoted by Wirkkala. He often combined this with the mezzafiligrana and murrine techniques for which Murano glass is famed.
The latest in Skira's essential series on Italian glassmaking, Tapio Wirkkala at Venini covers all of Wirkkala's Venini output in more than 500 color images and detailed descriptions of his work.

A Second Life For Buildings
Transforming existing architecture and assigning to it a new use for which it was not originally conceived entails an exhaustive process of historical, technical and functional exploration.
The crucial component of such interventions, often on disused buildings, is sustainability and can be summed up in this clear and concise maxim: ""the greenest building is the one that is already built"".
Through projects of various scales, often surprising but always sensitive to the historical context in which they are situated, this book illustrates the fascinating process of reconversion of built architecture.

Založenie a aktivity Združenia fotografov amatérov YMCA (Youn Menss Christian Association) a Fotoskupiny KSTL Bratislava (Klub slovenských lyžiarov a turistov) sa viažu najmä na obdobie 30. 40. rokov 20. storočia. Reprezentujú tvorivý potenciál slovenských fotoamatérov v medzivojnovom období prvej Československej republiky, ale aj inštitúcií Svazu československých fotografov amatérov v Prahe, medzinárodnej organizácie YMCA (YMCA Slovensko) a národnej organizácie Klubu slovenských turistov a lyžiarov. Z hľadiska vývoja a histórie slovenskej fotografie opisuje publikácia dôležité obdobie konštituovania organizačnej štruktúry hnutia fotoamatérov zakladanie prvých fotoklubov v rámci Československa, kryštalizáciu hnutia v rámci Slovenska, realizáciu výstav, mapových okruhov, kurzov, tvorivých výletov, participácií na medzinárodných súťažiach, výstavách a iných aktivitách súvisiacich s organizovanou činnosťou fotoamatérov. Knižná publikácia dokumentuje cez príbeh inštitúcií aj príbehy jednotlivcov osobností, ktoré vychovalo prostredie amatérskej fotografie. Mená ako Miloš Dohnány, Viliam Malík, Ladislav Kožehuba, František Král, Jaroslav Horák, sú fenoménom Československej amatérskej fotografie 30. rokov, zároveň svojimi progresívnymi názormi v rámci fotografickej tvorby prekročili hranice amatérskej fotografie. Súčasná história slovenskej fotografie ich zaradila medzi významných autorov dejín slovenskej fotografie.
Čítanie v mysli režiséra (Romana Poláka)
Monografia Dagmar Inštitorisovej Čítanie v mysli režiséra (Romana Poláka) je analyticko-interpretačným pohľadom do divadelnej, televíznej, filmovej a rozhlasovej tvorby, pedagogickej činnosti, teoretického myslenia o divadle a občianskych postojov jedného z najvýznamnejších slovenských divadelných režisérov, veľmi oceňovanom doma i v zahraničí (Krištáľové krídlo, Dosky, Cena Nadácie Tatrabanky za umenie, Cena Akadémie divadelných tvorcov, Cena The Guardian Critics Choise Edinburgh a i.).
Mnohé z Polákových divadelných činoherných inscenácií či už v Slovenskom komornom divadle Martin, Divadle ASTORKA Korzo´90 alebo v Slovenskom národnom divadle Bratislava patria do zlatého fondu slovenskej divadelnej kultúry a stali sa kultovými ako martinský Baal (1989) či Dotyky a spojenia (1988) a astokársky Les (1997).
Hlavnou tematickou líniou monografie je odkrývanie kompozičných postupov, prostredníctvom ktorých R. Polák vytvára mizanscény (kapitoly: Réžia ako res contextum, Réžia ako mizanscéna, Réžia ako res ideum, Francúzska dramatická klasika, Ruská prozaická a dramatická klasika, Diskurz rodiny, Slovenská prozaická a dramatická klasika Réžia ako res politicum, Televízna, filmová a rozhlasová tvorba a Réžia ako res scholarum.)
Niektoré z podkapitol sa zaoberajú aj jeho scenáristickou a divadelno-dramatickou tvorbou, inscenáciami v amatérskom divadle, spoluprácou s dramatikom Karolom Horákom a filmovým herectvom.
Osobitosťou monografie sú vsuvky vo forme úryvkov z Polákovej divadelnej, televíznej a básnickej tvorby, ktoré ho prestavujú v menej známej polohe.
Monografia obsahuje tiež 205 inscenačných fotografií z takmer všetkých jeho inscenácií doma a v zahraničí, v prílohe na DVD sú rozsiahle Súpisy nielen jeho umeleckých, ale aj odborných a vedeckých prác a ohlasov na ne, audiovizuálne a audiálne ukážky napríklad z prípravy inscenácií Les, Ruské denníky (2019), Scény zo života režiséra (Ingmara Bergmana) (2021), jeho teatrologické práce, významné rozhovory atď.
Twenty Five Thousand Days of Memories
Architekt, profesor a autor mnoha odborných publikací M. Rajniš se rozhodl sepsat vzpomínky ze svého života plného cestování, netradičních zvratů, úspěchů i pádů. Jako buřič a provokatér, který si celý život razí svojí cestu, chce čtenáři ukázat, že i člověk, nýmand, kterého málem strčili do pomocné školy, může žít bezvadný život. Přál bych si, aby se čtenář při mým vyprávění odvázal, začal mluvit slangem a vychutnal si krásně vyslovený český nadávky, který se skví jako pralinka na dortu.
Prof. Ing. arch. Martin Rajniš (* 16. května 1944, Praha) je český architekt a urbanista, spoluzakladatel České komory architektů, několika architektonických kanceláří a zakladatel ateliéru Huť Architektury. Jako pedagog působil na VŠUP v Praze a na Technické univerzitě v Liberci. Je známý především jako autor nové Poštovny na Sněžce nebo Majáku a muzea Járy Cimrmana v Jizerských horách. Věnuje se experimentální architektuře a vztahu architektury k přírodě a k lidské společnosti.
Martin Rajniš o knize Skutečně mám dobrou paměť a už řadu let mě připadalo potřebný podělit se o příběhy, který jsem za posledních 70 let zažil. Osud mi do cesty přihrál milý stvoření, Magdu (Křížkovou) Šebestovou, která mý košatý zhruba, 100 hodinový vyprávění převedla do 900 stran textu, z kterejch posléze vznikl na 120 stranách týhle knihy koncentrovanej elixír toho, podle nás, nejlepšího. Myslím, že čtenáře budou bavit i krásný fotky, mimo jiný i z mejch četnejch exotických cest, kterých tam bude víc než stovka. Dílo se jmenuje 25 344 dnů vzpomínek, což vystihuje 71 let mého života, během něhož jsem toho zažil skutečně hodně dětství ve staré Praze s nejrůznějšími výchovnými experimenty svého otce, časy chudoby a vzdoru proti bolševikovi, byl jsem dvanáctkrát v kriminále. Strávil jsem čtyři roky na moři, přeplul na malé lodi s jednou krásnou holkou Atlantik. Projezdil jsem stovky tisíc kilometrů po pouštích, divočinách, pralesech, projel jsem horní toky Amazonky, byl jsem v nejzapadlejších koutech Nové Guiney. Ale zároveň jsem řídil jako architekt velké ateliéry a rukama mi prošlo ve stavebních nákladech skoro 14 miliard korun. Zažil jsem Paříž coby bezdomovec i jako nositel světové ceny za architekturu
Spolupráce s Magdou (Křížkovou) Šebestovou Magdu jsem poznal koncem sedmdesátých let, když jsme v době třeskutýho bolševizmu dělali pavilon na výstavu do Kanady já jako mladej architekt a ona jako hosteska. Pamatoval jsem si ji ještě z doby, kdy jako malá holka zpívala s Jiřím Suchým v Semaforu. Potom jsme se dlouhý roky neviděli a až při rozhovoru pro Xantypu kterej se mnou přišla udělat,jsem si uvědomil, jak se umí ptát, jak se umí bezvadně tvářit a hlavně jak skvěle umí psát tak jsem jí nabídl, že bychom spolu mohli zkusit to moje vzpomínání napsat a ona, zaplať pánbůh, kývla...

Female View (Bilingual edition)
Female View puts the focus on women fashion photography. Although this medium has been shaped by female photographers for decades, a large number of publications or exhibitions have focused primarily on the male gaze of the female body. Numerous female fashion photographers worked for influential magazines such as Harper's Bazaar or Vogue, thus shaping the style of their time. Using exemplary positions, this book traces the transformation of the photographic image from the 1930s to the present day: from the fashion magazine to the showroom and the coffee table book to videos and digital self-staging in social media today.
On display will be works by: Lillian Bassman, Sibylle Bergemann, Petra F. Collins, Corinne Day, Cass Bird, Madame d'Ora, Charlotte March, Ute Mahler, Sarah Moon, Amber Pinkerton, Regina Relang, Alice Springs (June Newton), Bettina Rheims, Ellen von Unwerth, and Yva.
Why Patti Smith Matters
Patti Smith arrived in New York City at the end of the Age of Aquarius in search of work and purpose. Through her poetry, her songs, her unapologetic vocal power, and her very presence as a woman fronting a rock band, she kicked open a door that countless others walked through. No other musician has better embodied the "nothing-to-hide" rawness of punk, nor has any other done more to nurture a place in society for misfits of every stripe.
Why Patti Smith Matters is the first book about the iconic artist written by a woman. The veteran music journalist Caryn Rose contextualizes Smith's creative work, her influence, and her wide-ranging and still- evolving impact on rock and roll, visual art, and the written word. Rose goes deep into Smith's oeuvre, from her first album, Horses, to acclaimed memoirs operating at a surprising remove from her music. The portrait of a ceaseless inventor, Why Patti Smith Matters rescues punk's poet laureate from "strong woman" cliches. Of course Smith is strong. She is also a nuanced thinker. A maker of beautiful and challenging things. A transformative artist who has not simply entertained but also empowered millions.

Their images are accompanied by quotes, stories and anecdotes to inspire the reader, simultaneously broadening their photographic knowledge and creative perspectives.
Putting aside preconceived ideas and the competitive pressures of picture-perfect Instagram posts, the book rewires our relationship to photographic practice as one to be experienced as unconditionally joyful and rewarding. Sophie Howarth's insightful and soothing texts work as a guide to both a mindful approach to photography, and a photographic approach to meditation. Offered in a highly affordable and pocketable format, this will be the must-have companion for anyone seeking the spiritual benefits of creative practice and a more mindful approach to engaging with their world through photography.
Tak nějak to bylo a tak nějak to je
Miroslav Masák patří ke klíčovým osobnostem české architektury i života české společnosti druhé poloviny 20. století. Jeho před několika lety vydané knižní vzpomínky sklidily velký úspěch u čtenářů napříč generacemi, proto nyní vycházejí v rozšířené podobě. Jejich autor navazuje na své vyprávění a pokračuje v něm až do současnosti. Osobní vzpomínky architekta, spoluzakladatele libereckého Sialu a jeho unikátní Školky, vysokoškolského profesora, bývalého poradce prezidenta Václava Havla a zejména člověka pevného charakteru a přirozené noblesy jsou zasazeny do širokého rámce společenských i kulturních událostí a stávají se tak poutavou a osobitou kronikou naší společnosti.
K jeho nejdůležitějším pracím na poli architektury patří pavilon F na Libereckém výstavišti, obchodní dům Máj v Praze, obchodní středisko Ještěd v Liberci či rekonstrukce Veletržního paláce pro Národní galerii.
Vo Trong Nghia: Building Nature
A career-spanning, slipcased monograph in two volumes presenting the work of one of Asia's most thoughtful and innovative architects.
With rising populations around the world and the pressures of looming climatic catastrophe, the work of Vo Trong Nghia is a call for architecture to transform itself from a source of pollution to a reason for hope. Nor is this idea anecdotal: the World Green Building Council estimates that 39% of energy-related carbon emissions can be attributed to buildings. An awareness of architecture's responsibilities has permeated the profession in the developed world, while new ideas and solutions are coming from places where these issues are most acute.
Following a long recovery from decades of war, Vietnam has emerged as one of the most exciting centres of design Asia - led largely by the work of Vo Trong Nghia, born one year after the end of the Vietnam War, whose work has gained an international following. As a student in Japan, he studied under the minimalist architect Hiroshi Naito and encountered the work of the Colombian architect Simon Velez, a proponent of bamboo architecture with its large spans and high, voluminous spaces - the ideas and teachings of both were to have a profound influence on his own designs.
The buildings of Vo Trong Nghia Architects, established in Ho Chi Minh City in 2006, make clear reference to these sources and influences of the past, and to Vo's own adherence to the Five Precepts of Buddhist teaching. The architect's two main themes - green architecture and bamboo as a building material - form the basis of this two-volume celebration of his work. From the Wind and Water Bar, his first foray into bamboo as a building material, to resort complexes, art installations and his game-changing series of residences, House for Trees, Vo Trong Nighia: Building Nature proves that green architecture creates local relevance, beauty and elegance in its own right.
Příběhy českých písní
Píseň je krása, radost a útěcha. Je příběhem, který odkrývá události života od kolébky až ke konci bytí. Poznejte ho a zpívejte, ať už v nejstarších písních duchovních, milostných, vojenských, pracovních, či v rozmarných kramářských a později trampských melodiích. Znějí nádherně dodnes, stejně jako ty nesmrtelné Osvobozeného divadla a Semaforu.
Flamingo
Rarely does a bird mesmerise us as much as the flamingo: Graceful, elegant and decked out in colourful plumage, it has evolved into a trendy bird with a cult following in recent years. And no one can give us a better understanding of this animal than Claudio Contreras Koob: A biologist and photographer, he has had a special relationship with the flamingos of his native Mexico since childhood. At a young age, he would disappear for hours into the swamps and mangrove forests of the Yucatan Peninsula to discover the local flora and fauna, where he encountered for the first time the breathtaking display a flamingo colony presents during mating season. Since that day, his love for nature, and especially flamingos, has been unwavering.
With over 120 spectacular photographs, this book offers a glimpse into the behaviour and life of a flamingo colony as never seen before. It is the result of over 20 years of a passion that combines biology and photography.
Text in English, German and Spanish.
Little Book of Valentino
To have a colour named after you is one of the highest accolades in fashion. Valentino Garavani is one such icon. Since the founding of the House of Valentino in 1950s Rome, Garavani has been celebrated for the desirability of his designs.
His stunning gowns in his signature Valentino Red have been sought after by the jet set for over half a century, and still signify the very epitome of red carpet glamour. Little Book of Valentino tells the story of this most elegant of brands. Beginning with Garavani's initiation into the world of haute couture in 1950s Paris, progressing through the glittering social scene of 1970s New York and Valentino's domination of Hollywood from the 1980s to the present day, images of every dazzling era are beautifully reproduced alongside text exploring the significance of each stunning piece.
The Musical Human
165 million years ago saw the birth of rhythm. 66 million years ago came the first melody. 40 thousand years ago Homo sapiens created the first musical instrument. Today music fills our lives. How we have created, performed and listened to music throughout history has defined what our species is and how we understand who we are. Yet it is an overlooked part of our origin story. The Musical Human takes us on an exhilarating journey across the ages - from Bach to BTS and back - to explore the vibrant relationship between music and the human species. With insights from a wealth of disciplines, world-leading musicologist Michael Spitzer renders a global history of music on the widest possible canvas, from global history to our everyday lives, from insects to apes, humans to artificial intelligence.
