The Architecture of Happiness


From one of our greatest voices in modern philosophy, author of The Course of Love, The Consolations of Philosophy and The School of Life, The Architecture of Happiness explores the fascinating hidden links between the buildings we live in and our long-term wellbeing. 'Engaging and intelligent . . . Full of splendid ideas, happily and beautifully expressed' Independent What makes a house truly beautiful? Why are many new houses so ugly? Why do we argue so bitterly about sofas and pictures - and can differences of taste ever be satisfactorily resolved? To answer these questions and many more, de Botton looks at buildings across the world, from medieval wooden huts to modern skyscrapers; he examines sofas and cathedrals, tea sets and office complexes, and teases out a host of often surprising philosophical insights. The Architecture of Happiness will take you on a beguiling tour through the history and psychology of architecture and interior design, and will change the way you look at your home.

A Darabos utcától a St. Germain Avenue-ig


Valóságos irodalom- és színháztörténeti remekmű Csizmadia Éva legújabb kötete. Csokonai Vitéz Mihály életútja és a debreceni színjátszás megannyi szereplője mellett olyan irodalmi nagyságok kevésbé ismert történetei bukkannak fel, mint Ady Endre, Tóth Árpád vagy Dénes Zsófia. ... Folytatás ›› A sodró lendületű történetfüzér „főszereplője” az a Kertész Sándor, aki nem csupán a hazai színpadok ünnepelt művésze volt, hanem 1956-ot követően küzdelmes és fáradságos munkával Kanadában létrehozott egy magyar nyelvű társulatot is. Színházszervezői munkájára jellemző, hogy nemcsak a külföldre szakadt magyar művészek világát fogta egybe, hanem torontói színpadán gyakran voltak vendégek olyan nagyszerű magyarországi művészek is, mint Mezei Mária, Németh Marika, Sárdy János, Solti Bertalan, Latabár Kálmán, Bilicsi Tivadar és sokan mások. Az eredeti dokumentumokat, leveleket, fotókat bemutató kötet külön érdekessége, hogy tartalmazza azt a Csokonai Vitéz Mihály születésének kétszázadik évfordulója alkalmából elmondott Kertész Sándor-emlékbeszédet, amely még soha nem jelent meg magyarul, és igazi kultúr-, illetve irodalomtörténeti kuriózum. A(z) A Darabos utcától a St. Germain Avenue-ig (Könyv) szerzője Csizmadia Éva.

Extreme Minimalism


During many eras of architectural history, builders and architects aimed to construct buildings with pure shapes and clear geometry, while foregoing decorative elements. With the advent of Classical Modernity, minimalism has become a seminal architectural style. However, the approach of architects cannot be limited to Mies van der Roh s dogma of Less is more, but corresponds rather to Less is all you need . Based on a select range of contemporary buildings, this book examines the question of how compelling esthetic impressions and expressions can be achieved with reduced shapes. Representing various types of structures, the chosen examples are mostly based on the concept of a simple comprehensive overall shape, focus on a few main materials as means of expression, and are comparatively simple to implement. Despite, or perhaps due to, the consistently applied limitations, the results are extremely remarkable.

Karl Blossfeldt


A fascination for flora: Timeless photos in which plants become sculptures German photography pioneer Karl Blossfeldt (1865-1932) photographed plants so beautifully, and with such originality, that his work transcends the medium itself. Over more than 30 years, he took thousands of photographs, revealing a formally rigorous talent whose precision and dedication bridge the 19th- and 20th-century worlds of image making and bring a distinctly sculptural aspect to a firmly two-dimensional art form. Beautifully but starkly composed against plain cardboard backgrounds, Blossfeldt's images, relying on a northern light for their sense of volume, reveal nothing of the man but everything of themselves. They are still lifes, piercingly final statements on their subject, and have endured owing to their aesthetics and the ongoing fascination of students and photographers. Like their maker, they are quietly and lastingly effective.

Vision and Art: The Biology of Seeing


In Vision and Art, Harvard neurobiologist Margaret Livingstone demonstrates that how we see art depends ultimately on the cells in our eyes and our brains. In this new expanded edition Livingstone thoroughly updates this groundbreaking study with the latest findings gathered from her research, with 32 additional pages of new text and images, including 3 brand new chapters. She begins by offering a comprehensive account of the biology of vision, drawing on the history of science and her own cutting edge discoveries. She then turns to art and delves into the science underlying various phenomena in painting, using many examples from the mysterious allure of the Mona Lisa to the amazing atmospheric effects of the impressionists to illustrate her points. Along the way, she shows how similar effects can be used to enhance the impact of advertisements, and explores the different ways images look in paintings, in photographs, on TV, and on computer screens. Accompanying Livingstone's lively and lucid prose are many easy to understand charts and diagrams that clarify her points. Some of these illustrations are based on simple and elegant experiments that show us how the human visual system translates light into color. Others demonstrate how cells in the retina code information and send it to the brain. Still others shed light on how great painters devise techniques to fool the eye into seeing depth and movement. By skillfully bridging the space between science and art, Vision and Art will arm artists and designers with new techniques that they can use in their own craft and thrill any reader with an interest in the biology of human vision.

Punk a reggae v Babylonu


Rozhovor s frontmanem Brygady Kryzys není jen příběhem o hudbě, ale i dějinami Polska posledních třiceti let – od heroických osmdesátých let až po kapitalismus – z trochu jiné perspektivy. Neboť, jak říká Brylewski :„Vedli jsme úplně jiné životy než ostatní. Lišili jsme se i zevnějškem. Kariéra nám byla u prdele, studium, vojna a práce zrovna tak. To nám přidávalo na sebevědomí a bezprostřednosti“. Vypráví o situacích vážných, jako o brutálních střetnutích s oddíly bezpečnosti, i o těch groteskních. Paní z cenzury tak například v písňovém textu opravuje verš „tráva je spásou národa“ na „tráva je prokletím národa“. Je to kniha natruc době. O hudbě, která lidem otevírala oči. O člověku, který svému spoluhráči, který pochybuje o činnosti kapely, protože pořádná muzika je teprve Bach, dokáže odseknout: „Seru na Bacha! Dávno nežije, určitě měl taky své problémy.“ Knihu Punk a reggae v Babylonu vydává pražské nakladatelství SMRŠŤ k příležitosti 25.výročí dějů, které v roce 1989 převrátily osudy postupně všech východoevropských zemí.
