Architectural Theory: Pioneering Texts on Architecture from the Renaissance to Today
If you've ever wondered what goes through architects' minds when they design buildings, you'll be happy to know that there's no shortage of brilliant reading material to satisfy your curiosity. Wading through the archives at your local library may prove fruitful to your endeavor, but it won't give you the instant gratification that Architectural Theory will.
This book brings together all of the most important and influential essays about architecture written since the Renaissance, copiously illustrated and neatly organized chronologically by country. From Alberti and Palladio to Le Corbusier and Koolhaas, the best treatises by architecture's greatest masters are gathered here, each accompanied by an essay discussing its historical context and significance. This is the all-in-one, must-have book for anyone interested in what architects have to say about their craft.
The comprehensive overview that will help transform even the most uninformed novices into well-informed connoisseurs!
Deo gratias
V knize Deo gratias jde o spojení fotografických motivů z velehradské baziliky s krátkými texty Tomáše Josefa kardinála Špidlíka. Texty kardinála Špidlíka jsou vybrány z více jeho knih; jejich témata jsou filozofická, obecně lidská a samozřejmě teologická. Motivy pro výtvarné fotografie jsou volně inspirovány texty kardinála Špidlíka. Kniha je doplněna krátkým textem o historii velehradské baziliky a věcnými popisky k jednotlivým fotografiím.
Světlo a hmota
Kniha obsahuje čtyři soubory černobílých výtvarných fotografií a stejný počet textových zamyšlení, navzájem spojených stejnými tématy. Jsou to témata Tma a světlo, Řád a svoboda, Neviděné stavby a Hledání světla. Přestože fotografie a psané slovo jsou odlišné vyjadřovací prostředky, tvoří kniha jednotný celek. Při jejím vzniku byly fotografie volnou inspirací pro text, případně text volně inspiroval vznik fotografií. Text fotografie nekomentuje, obě formy jsou ve svém sdělení svébytné.
Logo Beginnings
Countless global brands, including Rolex, BMW, Louis Vuitton, and the New York Yankees, still use logos that were designed over 100 years ago. Yet there has never been a monograph devoted to the origins of logo design. In the second half of the 19th century, the trademark replaced traditional symbols such as the family coat of arms as a promotional and identifying symbol for companies. At first, the designs were often still figurative; only gradually did they develop into the abstract marks that have become fixtures in everyday life today.
Author Jens Müller, described as the “logo detective” by Wired magazine, examined historical trademark registers, international corporate archives, and early design publications to unearth more than 6,000 logos from 1870 to 1940. This unparalleled collection traces the development of modern trademarks and sheds light on forgotten designs and early versions of famous logos. The catalog is divided into four design categories: “Figurative,” “Form,” “Effect,” and “Typographical.” Each chapter is then systematically subdivided according to basic elements of design such as circle, line, overlap, and outline, thus offering a new perspective on design principles that are still relevant today.
Along with an extensive picture section, the book comprises an introduction by Jens Müller on the history of the trademark as well as a reproduction of the first comprehensive examination of modern corporate logos: the influential design pioneer F.H. Ehmcke’s (1878–1965) illustrated essay “Wahrzeichen?Warenzeichen” (Symbols?trademarks) from 1921. Also included are ten case studies of famous trademarks, including those of 3M, NBC, Shell, and Olivetti, and numerous rare images illustrating the?at times varied, at times consistent?developments in international logo design and the birth of the corporate identity. Logo Beginnings is not only a fundamental and inspiring graphic design manual but also an excellent read for anyone interested in social, cultural, and corporate history and the fascinating impact of trademarks. It is also the perfect complement to the TASCHEN classic Logo Modernism.

The Rolling Stones All the Songs Expanded Edition
An updated edition of the most comprehensive account of the Rolling Stones' work yet published, with the full story of every recording session, every album, and every single released during their nearly 60 year career.
The Rolling Stones have been recording and touring since 1963, selling more than 200 million records worldwide. While much is known about this iconic group, few books provide a comprehensive history of their time in the studio. In The Rolling Stones All the Songs, authors Margotin and Guesdon describe the origin of every song the band has released, details from the recording studio, what instruments were used, and behind-the-scenes stories of the great artists who contributed to their tracks.
Organized chronologically by album, this massive, 760-page hardcover begins with their 1963 eponymous debut album recorded over five days at the Regent Studio in London; through their collaboration with legendary producer Jimmy Miller in the ground-breaking albums from 1968 to 1973; to their later work with Don Was, who has produced every album since Voodoo Lounge. Packed with more than 500 photos, All the Songs is also filled with stories fans treasure, such as how the mobile studio the group pioneered was featured in Deep Purple's classic song "Smoke on the Water" or how Keith Richards used a cassette recording of an acoustic guitar to get the unique riff on "Street Fighting Man."
Nové milénium 2000- 2018
Nové milénium je autorskou studií pohybu architektonického myšlení po skončení postmodernismu a 20. století a nástupu nových architektonických paradigmat v novém miléniu. Pokud je 20. století charakterizováno jako století moderny a završení hierarchie stylů, začátek nového tisíciletí, globalizace a hlavně útok na Dvojčata (2001) rozvrátil jistotu nedávného konce bipolárního světa z minulého století a nastartoval nové paralelně se větvící hrozby a konflikty, které dnes radikálně mění nejen naši existenci, ale také architekturu. Publikace je pátráním po ztracených iluzích nových architektonických impulzů přes prizmata kultovních benátských architektonických výstav. Grafika Petr Babák.
The Magic Mirror of M.C. Escher - New Edition
"A woman once rang me up and said, 'Mr. Escher, I am absolutely crazy about your work. In your print Reptiles, you have given such a striking illustration of reincarnation.' I replied, 'Madame, if that's the way you see it, so be it.'" A fittingly sly comment from renowned Dutch graphic artist Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972), whose complex and ambiguous drawings continue to leave hasty interpretations far behind.
Long before the first computer-generated 3-D images, Escher was a master of the third dimension. His lithograph Magic Mirror dates as far back as 1946. By taking such a title for the book, mathematician Bruno Ernst stressed the enrapturing spell Escher's work invariably casts on those who see it. Ernst visited Escher every week for a year, systematically talking through his entire oeuvre with him. Their discussions resulted in a friendship that gave Ernst intimate access to the life and conceptual world of Escher. Ernst's account was meticulously scrutinized and made accurate by the artist himself.
Escher's work refuses to be pigeonholed. Scientific, psychological, or aesthetic criteria alone cannot do it justice. The questions remain: Why did he create the pictures? How did he construct them? What preliminary studies were necessary before achieving the final version? And how are his various creations interrelated? This updated and redesigned edition of a true classic-complete with biographical data, 250 illustrations, and a thorough breaking-down of each mathematical problem-offers answers to these and many other lingering mysteries, and is an authentic source text of the first order.
The Natural Cozy Cottage
Create a haven of coziness and calm that embraces you as you walk through the door with Chris Myers' effortless styling ideas and tips.
Taking a room-by-room approach, Chris describes the essentials of creating coziness from the colours to use, the textiles to incorporate, the decorative accessories and lighting to include and how to bring a sense of personality and uniqueness to your own space. Using natural, or pre-loved and re-purposed objects is an important element of this ethos. Wherever you live, in an urban apartment, town house, or country cottage, Chris will inspire you to bring comfort and happiness into your space whether by creating a welcoming wreath for the front door made from foraged items, kitchen curtains made from old vintage quilts, eco-friendly natural cleaning products, or lavender bags and scented candles…
Your home will become a sanctuary, a home for the soul surrounded by the things you love, a place you will long to return to at the end of the day and one that is kind to the planet too.
Design after Capitalism
How design can transcend the logics, structures, and subjectivities of capitalism: a framework, theoretical grounding, and practical principles.
The designed things, experiences, and symbols that we use to perceive, understand, and perform our everyday lives are much more than just props. They directly shape how we live. In Design after Capitalism, Matthew Wizinsky argues that the world of industrial capitalism that gave birth to modern design has been dramatically transformed. Design today needs to reorient itself toward deliberate transitions of everyday politics, social relations, and economies. Looking at design through the lens of political economy, Wizinsky calls for the field to transcend the logics, structures, and subjectivities of capitalism—to combine design entrepreneurship with social empowerment in order to facilitate new ways of producing those things, symbols, and experiences that make up everyday life.
After analyzing the parallel histories of capitalism and design, Wizinsky offers some historical examples of anticapitalist, noncapitalist, and postcapitalist models of design practice. These range from the British Arts and Crafts movement of the nineteenth century to contemporary practices of growing furniture or biotextiles and automated forms of production. Drawing on insights from sociology, philosophy, economics, political science, history, environmental and sustainability studies, and critical theory—fields not usually seen as central to design—he lays out core principles for postcapitalist design; offers strategies for applying these principles to the three layers of project, practice, and discipline; and provides a set of practical guidelines for designers to use as a starting point. The work of postcapitalist design can start today, Wizinsky says—with the next project.
Švýcarská rodina v Praze / Die Schweizerfamilie in Prag
Opera rakouského skladatele Josepha Weigla Die Schweizerfamilie (1809) se stala roku 1823 prvním operním představením v českém jazyce ve Stavovském divadle v Praze. Dvojjazyčná kniha, která vychází jako druhý svazek ediční řady Nota bene, se zabývá libretem Ignaze Franze Castelliho a jeho francouzskými inspiračními zdroji, německými a českými provedeními, interprety, recepcí v tisku a v korespondenci české vlastenecké společnosti a překladem Simeona Karla Macháčka Rodina švejcarská. Obsahuje edici německého a českého libreta.
Druhý svazek ediční řady Nota bene přináší pojednání o opeře Josepha Weigla Die Schweizerfamilie (1809), publikované v české a německé jazykové verzi. Soustředí se na libreto Ignaze Franze Castelliho z hlediska inspiračních zdrojů: od příběhu z Francie 18. století a jeho zpracování v pařížském vaudevillu autorů Sewrin a René de Chazet (1807) až k rakouské adaptaci na lyrickou operu.
Die Schweizerfamilie patřila k nejoblíbenějším operám své doby. Po Vídni byla provedena poprvé v Praze již roku 1809 a do roku 1848 tu dosáhla celkem 72 německých a českých představení. V dějinách českého divadla sehrála mimořádnou roli. Mírné pěvecké nároky sólových rolí přispěly k tomu, že právě tato opera byla vybrána roku 1823 k pokusu ukázat na profesionální scéně, že i český jazyk je vhodným nástrojem k opernímu zpěvu.
Kniha se zabývá německými a českými představeními, domácími i hostujícími interprety, recepcí v tisku v Praze, Vídni, Drážďanech a v Lipsku a ohlasy českého provedení v korespondenci české vlastenecké společnosti. Zvláštní pozornost je věnována překladu Simeona Karla Macháčka Rodina švejcarská.
Kniha obsahuje paralelní edici německého a českého libreta.
San Francisco. Portrait of a City
Starting with an early picture of a gang of badass gold prospectors who put this beautiful Northern California city on the map, this ambitious and immersive photographic history of San Francisco takes a winding tour through the city from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day.
Enjoy eye-catching views of the city's most enduring landmarks and symbols: the Golden Gate Bridge, Chinatown, the picturesque trams that wind up and down the famously steep hills, the popular waterfront, its beautiful bay, and its spectacular cityscapes and vistas. San Francisco's counterculture movements that shaped our collective consciousness are also featured prominently: the beats of North Beach, the hippies of Haight-Ashbury, the gay communities of Castro, and the Black Panthers of neighboring Oakland. Some of the city's most famous residents also make appearances: Robin Williams, The Grateful Dead, Angela Davis, Janis Joplin, Sylvester, and Allen Ginsberg, among others.
This book features hundreds of newly found images from dozens of archives including museums, universities, libraries, galleries, private collections, and historical societies, from 19th-century daguerreotypes to mid-century Kodachromes to 21st-century digital pictures. Master photographers include, among others: Stephen Shore, Imogen Cunningham, Fred Lyon, Steve Schapiro, Minor White, Dorothea Lange, Albert Watson, Robert Frank, Garry Winogrand, William Claxton, Fred Herzog, Ansel Adams, Jim Marshall, and many local shooters. Also includes introductory essays and captions by Bay Area-based author Richie Unterberger and a "Best of San Francisco" books, music, and movies section and biographies of the photographers. Tony Bennett famously sang, "I left my heart in San Francisco," and this meticulously researched and conceived portrait will equally inspire and make you fall in love with the spirit of the City by the Bay.
Little Book of Balenciaga
'Haute couture is like an orchestra, whose conductor is Balenciaga. We other couturiers are the musicians and we follow the direction he gives' - Christian Dior
The godfather of conceptual design, a master of shape, a true fashion game changer - all are accolades bestowed upon one of the most interesting, venerated and iconic couturiers of the twentieth century: Cristobal Balenciaga. His pureness of line, the comfort of his garments and innovative work with textiles, colour and volume made a huge impact on twentieth-century fashion, with creations such as the babydoll, balloon and sack dresses still influencing fashion today.
Through stunning images and captivating text, Little Book of Balenciaga depicts the work and life of Balenciaga the couturier. Fashion historian Emmanuelle Dirix examines his legacy both through tracing the Maison's artistic direction after his death, and the generations of designers influenced by the master himself.

Umění a kýč
„Milý Tomáši, píšeš mi melancholicky, že Tvoje knížka o kýči není „politically correct“, že postmodernismus již dávno smazal rozdíl mezi kýčem a uměním, že kýč se stal tak všudypřítomný, že odhalovat ho vypadá jako projev elitismu. Ano, je tomu přesně tak. Mluvit o kýči se stalo neslušné ve chvíli, kdy svět se stal kýčem. Všimni si, že Kafka píše o byrokracii v době, kdy byrokracie je ještě téměř nevinná. Ve chvíli, kdy pohltila zcela naše životy, stala se samozřejmá, a proto neviditelná. Jaromír John napsal román Výbušný zlotvor, kde vypráví o hrůze automobilu; ale v té době jich bylo v Praze velice málo. Chci tím říci toto: fenomén je rozpoznatelný v celé své hrůze jen v době, kdy ještě není rozšířen. Až se rozšíří, stane s čímsi „přirozeným“ (co známe od zrození, s čím počítáme, čemu se nedivíme). Jsme dnes obklopeni kýčem jako nikdy předtím: všude, v televizi, v novinách, v soukromém životě, v politice. I válka je už prezentována (jen se podívej, jak se píše o Sarajevu!) jako kýč. A právě proto, i když Tvá knížka nebude pochopena, je jí zapotřebí víc než kdy jindy. Tvůj Milan"
(Dopis Milana Kundery Tomáši Kulkovi z Paříže do Jeruzaléma)
Kniha studuje jednak specifickou estetickou kategorii kýče, jednak obecnou problematiku hodnocení uměleckého díla.

Lévi-Strauss a hudba
Lévi-Strauss a hudba, Nattiezova studie z roku 2008, představuje jednak souhrnný pohled na problematiku hudby v Lévi-Straussove díle, ale zároveň se na tomto muzikologickém pozadí kriticky vyrovnává s lévi-straussovskou antropologií jako takovou. Nattiez ukazuje, že hudba má v Lévi-Straussove strukturalistickém projektu význam zcela klíčový, neboť právě ona mu poskytuje model pro strukturální analýzu mýtu, tak jak bude rozvíjen zvláště v jeho čtyřsvazkovém souboru Mythologica. Nattiez si ovšem ohledně tohoto hudebního modelu klade mnoho podstatných otázek: mezi ně patří zejména problém srovnávání hudby a jazyka, jisté nesnáze spojené s Lévi-Straussovou metodologií, ale i některé nesrovnalosti týkající se Lévi-Straussovy interpretace konkrétních hudebních děl (především Wagnera). Díky tomu se tato zároveň kritická i obdivná monografie může stát také pozoruhodným a netradičním uvedením do Lévi-Straussovy strukturální antropologie jako takové.
