Tokhang je slovo ve filipínské Bisaya, které znamená přiblížit se a promluvit. Rovněž se stalo synonymem smrtící války Duterteovy administrativy s drogami. Fotograf Olof Jarlbro nás vezme do drogové války na ponuré vražedné scény kolem manilského metra. Tím ale Jarlbroova fotografie nekončí: místo toho se při hledání odpovědí setkává s příbuznými těch blízkých, kteří byli brutálně zabiti. Tokhang is a word in the Philippine Bisaya meaning to approach and talk. It also has become synonymous with the Duterte administrations deadly war against drugs. Photographer Olof Jarlbro takes us inside the drug war to the grim murder scenes around metro Manila. But Jarlbros photography doesnt end there : instead, in search of answers, he meets up with the relatives of those loved ones that have been brutally killed

Building is one of very few endeavours that are physically connected to the surface of the earth, fixed and enduring. Nevertheless, for centuries, especially in the West, we have considered ourselves separate and above nature, drifting away, defining our own systems and order, and using the ground as a nothing more than a passive foundation. Other times we sought connection, drawing on nature for ritual and religion, fortified protection, and ecological balance. This global compendium of nearly 1,400 pages brings architecture back in harmony with Earth's surface. For years, Bjarne Mastenbroek and his architectural firm, SeARCH, have delved into the relationship architecture has, had, and will have with its surroundings, seeing buildings as landscapes that fit into their site without dominating or disturbing it. For Dig It!, they have dug deep into the history of building culture and brought to light fascinating examples of this philosophy-some well known, some previously overlooked. From African churches chiseled from rock and Chinese villages dug into terrains to Parisian housing vibrantly overgrown and a villa built into the cliffs of Capri (famously featured in the film Le Mepris starring Brigitte Bardot), this book dissects structures from the past millennia. Part atlas, part encyclopedia, it highlights traditional vernacular practices, reconsiders all-time favorites, and celebrates contemporary examples across the globe. Designed by Mevis & Van Deursen, the extensive collection features analytical drawings from SeARCH and photo essays by Iwan Baan. Dig It! acknowledges an effort to reconnect architecture and landscape and merge building with ground. Separated into six chapters (or "strategies")-Bury, Embed, Absorb, Spiral, Carve, and Mimic-this remarkable survey reveals humanity's connection to the earth through building culture: clever and utterly relevant for the challenges that we have and will face in both urban and natural environments.

Well into its fourth decade, the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), founded by Rem Koolhaas in 1975, remains one of the most influential and successful practices of its kind. OMA describes itself as a firm operating within the traditional boundaries of architecture and urbanism that applies architectural thinking to domains beyond. The firm s impact on the way we live is undeniable. OMA has transformed our understanding of the city and our evolving relationship with art, shopping, sustainability, and other quintessentially twenty-first-century preoccupations. The works presented here elaborate on OMA s philosophy even as they expand its portfolio geographically. Featured projects (helmed by partners Shohei Shigematsu and Jason Long) include residential skyscrapers in New York and San Francisco, mixed-use developments in Tokyo and Fukuoka, and the master plans for Facebook s Menlo Park campus, alongside more intimate spaces such as the studio for renowned Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang. Permanent structures, such as Milstein Hall at Cornell University, the new galleries of Quebec s Musee National des Beaux-Arts, the Japan flagship of Coach, and the expansion of the New Museum in Manhattan, contrast vividly with temporary interventions such as the Manus x Machina exhibition at the Met Costume Institute and the soaring concrete columns of An Occupation of Loss.

"A 2019 decemberében a földi világra rászabadult vírusjárvány másfél évet kivett az életünkből, nekünk, szerencséseknek. Sokak számára nem adatott meg a túlélés, a járvány véget vetett életüknek. Kocsis András Sándor Németh Lászlót követve laboratóriumot csinált a lockdown által rákényszerített gályapadból, s míg a vírus pusztított, ő alkotott. A könyv, melybe összegyűjtötte a vírusjárvány alatt született Facebook-posztjait, lenyűgöző világra nyit ablakokat, rajtuk keresztül az irodalom, a zene, a képzőművészet, a politika óriásai néznek ránk, akik ugyanazokon az utakon járnak, mint a szerző, de Kocsis képei nélkül nem lennének ily közel, nem éreznénk úgy, mintha egyenesen hozzánk szólnának."

Jak se malá holka z komunistického Československa, již nadchl film Skleněné peklo s Paulem Newmanem v roli architekta navrhujícího mrakodrapy, dostala na stáž do San Franciska? A jak se později prosadila v oblasti, která přála především mužům? Světově proslulá architektka Eva Le Peutrec vám ve své knize prozradí, jak vás mohou složité situace posunout, jak vše zlé přetavit v něco pozitivního a především jak je důležité používat kreativní myšlení. To je jí jako architektce vlastní a během let nalezla recept, jak si je osvojit. Recept, díky kterému připravovala projekty v Číně, v Paříži nebo v Nové Kaledonii. Autorka dává v krátkých kapitolách nahlédnout nejen za oponu vlastních kreativních procesů, ale také do své minulosti. Čtenářům tak kromě jiného prozradí, proč jsou pro ni důležité sny, a zároveň jim popíše, jak se jeden takový sen realizoval.

This collection of ten case studies addresses the unique challenges surrounding the improvement of energy consumption and thermal comfort in modern buildings built between 1931 and 1969 and offers valuable lessons for other structures facing similar issues. These buildings, international in scope and diverse in type, style, and size, range from the Shulman House, a small residence in Los Angeles, to the TD Bank Tower, a skyscraper complex in Toronto, and from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, a cultural venue in Lisbon, to the Van Nelle Factory in Rotterdam, now an office building. Showing ingenuity and sensitivity, the case studies consider improvements to such systems as heating, cooling, lighting, ventilation, and controls. They provide examples that demonstrate best practices in conservation and show ways to reduce carbon footprints, minimize impacts to historic materials and features, and introduce renewable energy sources, in compliance with energy codes and green-building rating systems. The Conserving Modern Heritage series, launched in 2019, is written by architects, engineers, conservators, scholars, and allied professionals. The books in this series provide well-vetted cased studies that address the challenges of conserving twentieth century heritage. "

Roughly twenty-five years after Hokusai released his series of ukiyo-e prints depicting Japan's most recognisable symbol, Hiroshige took on the subject as well-a common practice among the era's printmakers. This volume features reproductions of the horizontal version of Hiroshige's woodblock series, first published in 1852, and which reveal a mature artist working at the height of his powers. In the background of each of the views Mount Fuji is featured under varying vantage points and changing lights, towering over sites of sublime beauty, often animated by a few characters living in harmony with nature. These exquisite fold-out plates are perfect for appreciating Hiroshige's eye for composition, his nontraditional use of line, and the subtle gradations of colour and mood. Viewers can also learn much about daily life and culture in 19th-century Japan through carefully applied detail and symbolism. In his introductory booklet, Jocelyn Bouquillard provides captions for each print, as well as an appreciation of the remarkable and painstaking process of woodblock printing. Packaged in an elegant slipcase, these volumes reflect the beautiful artistry and traditions that are embodied in the prints themselves.

In Soviet Seasons Kotov's photographs reveal unfamiliar aspects of the post-Soviet terrain. From snow-blanketed Siberia in winter, to the mountains of the Caucasus in summer, these images show how a once powerful, utopian landscape has been affected by the weight of nature itself. This uniquely broad perspective could only be achieved by a photographer such as Kotov. Singularly dedicated to exploring every corner of his country, Kotov often hitch-hikes across vast distances. On these journeys he chronicles not only the architectural achievements of the Soviet empire, but also its overlooked or simply undocumented constructions. Arseniy Kotov: 'In this book I reveal the beauty and diversity of this vast region, showing both cities and nature at different times of the year. I have travelled widely across Russia and its neighbouring countries, where I captured the landscape of post-Soviet cities and witnessed the seasonal changes.'

The authoritative portrait of the bestselling metal classic, with unseen photographs from the recording sessions and tours Following its release in August 1991, Metallica's landmark self-titled album--better known by fans as the Black Album--debuted at number one in ten countries and spent four consecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard 200. It has since become one of the bestselling albums of all time, selling more than 35 million copies worldwide, spawning numerous singles and earning various industry accolades, including a Grammy, MTV and American Music Awards. The tour that accompanied it was equally gargantuan, with the band clocking in nearly 300 shows in three years. Official photographer Ross Halfin was in the recording studio with the band and documented the tour that followed. Between 1991 and 1993, he shot thousands of film rolls of the hectic performing schedule and many unique portrait sessions, backstage documentary-style photography, rehearsals, interviews and band meetings. This official Metallica book features many previously unpublished images, with introductions by Ross Halfin, James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, Jason Newsted and Robert Trujillo. Printed with a metallic silver jacket with block-foil lettering, it is an epic celebration of one of rock's greatest creations. Ross Halfin is one of the world's leading photographers and has been photographing Metallica since 1984 and has traveled with the band to every continent and almost every country in the world, covering every aspect of the band's career: in the studio, backstage, on the road and at home. He has photographed almost every major artist and continues to work and travel as first choice photographer for the biggest bands in the world.

The Day May Break, photographed in Zimbabwe and Kenya in late 2020, is the first part of a global series portraying people and animals that have been impacted by environmental degradation and destruction. The people in the photos were all affected by climate change, displaced by cyclones and years-long droughts. Photographed at five sanctuaries, the animals were rescues that can never be re-wilded. As a result, it was safe for human strangers to be close to them, photographed so close to them, within the same frame. The fog on location is the unifying visual, as we increasingly find ourselves in a kind of limbo, a once-recognizable world now fading from view. However, in spite of their loss, these people and animals are the survivors. And therein lies possibility and hope.

A 90-second shoot with Stephen Fry in 1989 launched the career of Andy Gotts, photographer to the stars. Through grift and graft and raw, honed talent, Gotts has become one of the most in-demand celebrity photographers working the circuits of Hollywood, British media, and the music industry. Gotts's dramatic black-and-while style turns faces into artworks of shadow and light, while his colour portraits capture his subjects' ineffable humanity. For the first time Andy Gotts reveals the incredible depth of his archive, showing his most famous portraits and many rare images alongside. The book focuses on Andy's contact sheets, which reveal the process behind capturing the perfect image. Accompanying texts from Andy shed light on his craft and delve into the stories behind these captivating photographs. This really is the definitive, career spanning book, produced to the highest standards. The book also contains personal testaments from a cross-section of the celebrities who Gotts has worked with: Alan Cumming, Gene Simmons, Ian McKellen, Jeff Bridges, Kylie Minogue, Michael Caine, Peter Capaldi and Simon Pegg. Andy Gotts gathers the best and boldest portraits from Gotts's 30-year career: Adam Ant, Al Pacino, Alan Cumming, Alan Rickman, Alice Cooper, Annie Lennox, Anthony Hopkins, Boy George, Brad Pitt, Byran Ferry, Caine Boarder, Cate Blanchett, Charlize Theron, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Chris Martin, Christopher Lee, Christopher Walken, Claudia Schiffer, Clint Eastwood, Colin Firth, Daniel Craig, Dolly Parton, Eddie Redmayne, Elle Macpherson, Elton John, Elvis Costello, Emma Thompson, Erin O'Connor, Gene Simmons, George Clooney, Gillian Anderson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Halle Berry, Harrison Ford, Heath Ledger, Matt Damon, Hugh Grant, Jeff Bridges, Jeremy Irons, John Hurt, Johnny Depp, Jose Carreras, Judi Dench, Julia Roberts, Julian Assange, Julie Christie, Kate Moss, Kate Winslet, Kevin Kline, Kirk Douglas, Kylie Minogue, Lauren Bacall, Lester Piggott, Mads Mikkelsen, Malcolm McDowell, Mark Hamill, Matthew Broderick, Meryl Streep, Michael Lansdale, Mickey Rourke, the Monty Python members, Morgan Freeman, Naomi Campbell, Nicole Kidman, Oliva de Havilland, Olivia Colman, Orlando Bloom, Ozzy Osbourne, Paul Newman, Pele, Penelope Cruz, Pierce Brosnan, Quentin Crisp, Ralph Fiennes, Richard Dreyfuss, Richard Harris, Rita Ora, Robert De Niro, Rod Steiger, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, Sharon Stone, Sidney Poitier, Steven Tyler, Sting and Susan Sarandon. "Andy's contact-sheets give us what feels like a VIP pass to spend time with his subjects. We see their beauty, their flaws, charisma, humanity and even a glimpse into their thoughts and process. We see the person in these people and are touched by their being." Kylie Minogue "Above all Andy Gotts allows his subjects to shine through, untouched. His artistry does not come afterwards, in Photoshop and all the supposedly flattering trickery technology has taught us to expect. His skill is there in each frame, each moment, in the relationship he has built with his sitter, no matter how short a time they have shared, and the trust he has engendered in them because he is, quite simply, a good man. Anyone who encounters him can sense immediately his openness and kindness and I think this book is most of all a testament to those qualities." Alan Cumming "With this amazing book, you will see why Andy is as much a star as his subjects." Gene Simmons

Heroes: Women in Snowboarding is the product of two years' work by photographer Jerome Tanon, following some of the most dedicated female snowboarders around the world. It is a declaration of love, highlighting the culture, passion and dedication of female snowboarders. Though women's snowboarding has developed radically over the last decade, few photographs celebrate the champions of the sport. Over two winter seasons, Tanon travelled the world to meet several snowboarders, hear their stories and photograph them in the streets, the parks and the back-country. The sheer passion they put into their sport was instantly obvious. Shared here are personal stories and artworks by the snowboarders themselves.
