Architektúra Architecture
Svojou koncepciou i záberom unikátna výtvarno-odborná publikácia predstavuje kľúčové estetické princípy architektúry. Umelecké fotografie historickej a súčasnej architektúry na Slovensku a v Česku, doplnené kvalifikovaným sprievodným textom, umožňujú pochopenie abstraktných princípov a poodhaľujú tajomstvo prepojenia estetiky a funkcie architektonických diel. Fotograf Rastislav Bero, pôvodnou profesiou architekt, je živým príkladom symbiózy dvoch tvorivých prístupov pri hľadaní kritérií, ktoré podmieňujú vznik kultivovanej a kvalitnej architektúry. Jeho fotografie sú architektonické štúdie s charakteristickou vizuálnou poetikou. Vychádzajú zo zážitku vnímania celých komplexov, ale i detailov exteriéru a interiéru. Výtvarné chápanie priestoru, architektonický náhľad na architektúru, jej vyznenie, kompozíciu – všetky tieto hodnoty bude zreteľne vnímať aj čitateľ knihy, odborník či vnímavý obdivovateľ krásy. Stručné a výstižné texty autoriek S. Bašovej, B. Polomovej a A. Urlandovej z Fakulty architektúry STU charakterizuje spojenie odborného a prozaického štýlu. Úryvky z diela Citadela od A. de Saint-Exupéryho vhodne dotvárajú ducha diela. Prehľadný index poskytuje lokalizáciu objektov a mená autorov architektonických diel.

Raumplan a současná architektura / Raumplan and Contemporary Architecture
Kniha se tematicky zaměřuje na tvorbu Adolfa Loose v širších souvislostech, jež vedou až k současnému architektonickému dění. Jednotliví autoři a autorky mezinárodního kolektivu se soustředili jak na jeho ideje a tvorbu, tak na příklady přímých i méně zřejmých návazností na jeho dílo. Hlavním scelujícím prvkem je vazba k prostoru v architektuře, jenž se stal klíčovým bodem architektonického myšlení na konci 19. a na začátku 20. století. Kniha zahrnuje ukázky Loosovy tvorby, dále texty historiků architektury a architektů věnujících se Loosovu dílu dlouhodobě také teoreticky (Hermann Czech, Petr Domanický, Jana Laubová, Christopher Long, Dan Merta, Martina Mertová, Maria Szadkowska, Yoshio Sakurai, Filip Šenk, William Tozer) a praktikujících architektů, kteří s koncepty a idejemi architektonického prostoru pracují a dále je rozvíjejí (Alberto Campo Baeza, Sou Fujimoto, Momoyo Kaijima, Mauricio Pezo and Sofía von Ellrichshausen). Nová publikace, jejíž vznik inicioval spolek Architectura a vydal ji ve spolupráci se společností Akontext a Technickou univerzitou v Liberci, přímo navazuje na online výstavu konanou v omezené podobě v době lockdownu v Galerii Jaroslava Fragnera u příležitosti 150 let od narození Adolfa Loose (10. 12. 1870 v Brně – 23. 8. 1933 Kalksburg u Vídně). Grafiky se opět ujal sochař a grafik Jiří Příhoda.
En ten tulipán
Detektívny román En ten tulipán z roku 1955 vychádza prvý raz v slovenskom preklade, a hoci patrí k menej známym dielam Agathy Christie, milovníci tvorby legendárnej autorky si aj tentoraz prídu na svoje. Popri famóznom Herculovi Poirotovi v nej vystupuje aj detektívova výkonná, takmer dokonalá sekretárka slečna Lemonová.
A je to práve slečna Lemonová, kto upozorní Hercula Poirota na čudné udalosti v študentskom penzióne Tulipán na Hickory Road, ktorý spravuje jej sestra pani Hubbardová. Za normálnych okolností by drobné krádeže sotva vzbudili záujem slávneho detektíva. Keď si však prečíta bizarný zoznam ukradnutých a zničených vecí - vrátane stetoskopu, pudrenky, starých nohavíc, bonboniéry, rozstrihaného ruksaka a diamantového prsteňa, ktorý sa neskôr našiel v polievke -, musí blahoželať pani Hubbardovej k „jedinečnému a úžasnému rébusu“. Zoznam nedáva vôbec žiadny zmysel, no Poirotovi neschádza z mysle: Ak sú to len obyčajné krádeže a páchateľom je neškodný kleptoman, prečo sú potom obyvatelia penziónu takí vystrašení?

Green Architecture Today
For several decades the concepts of ecology and sustainability have generated influential currents of opinion in society, affecting all areas of our lives. Nowadays, no sensible person goes against the theory of global warming or the ever more pressing need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In the field of architecture, significant changes and developments are evolving.
However, experience tells us that we still have a way to go. The percentage of sustainable buildings is still very low compared to the increased volume of building projects all over the world. Much more participation is still required on the part of everyone involved - from architects and building contractors to manufacturers of materials and end customers.
This book gives this leading role to thirty selected international architects, all professionals who reveal the new trends in sustainable architecture and how they have contributed through their ideas to the basics of sustainable architecture.
Lacná kniha Breaking Ground - Architecture by Women (-50%)
A ground-breaking visual survey of architecture designed by women from the early twentieth century to the present day
'Would they still call me a diva if I were a man?' asked Zaha Hadid, challenging as she did so more than a century of stereotypes about female architects. In the same spirited approach, Breaking Ground is a pioneering visual manifesto of more than 200 incredible buildings designed by women all over the world. Featuring twentieth-century icons such as Julia Morgan, Eileen Gray and Lina Bo Bardi, and the best contemporary talent, from Kazuyo Sejima to Elizabeth Diller and Grafton Architects, this book is, above all else, a ground-breaking celebration of extraordinary architecture.

Lacná kniha Wood: Architecture&Design (-70%)
Wood has always been a strong contributing factor in the creation of interesting architecture. Because of its special physical characteristics, its many possibilities of application and combination with other construction materials, since human beings began building houses, wood has been one of the main building materials. In addition, because of the increasing sensitivity for the protection of resources, the ecological potential of wood as a renewable raw material wood has gained in significance. To build with wood has been for years and is still a trend topic, this volume is a road tour of contemporary wood architecture. The many possibilities for use of this natural building material are shown with texts, photos, facts and drawings, as well as the innovative construction techniques which have extended these possibilities.

25 Concepts in Modern Architecture
Designed to appeal to visual thinkers, 25 Concepts in Modern Architecture explores the fundamental ideas behind architectural design, through easy-to-follow sketches, drawings and succinct explanations.
Twenty-five concepts - each of which are key to architectural design thinking - are accessibly explained by examining twenty-five different masterworks of modern architecture. For example, the concept of 'movement' in architectural design is explained through a close look at a Le Corbusier building; 'transparency' is examined in Philip Johnson's seminal Glass House; 'asymmetry' is understood through the work of Zaha Hadid - and so on, through twenty-five core concepts and twenty-five of the most significant buildings of the modern era.
Taking a highly-visual approach, this simple yet visually-powerful guide is an essential companion in the design studio and to introductory courses in modern architecture, interior architecture, and interior design.
Understanding these concepts will provide a key to demystifying the greatest works in modern architectural history, inspire new ways to think about new design projects, and reveal how drawing and sketching are used as tools for the visual analysis of architecture.

Kortárs építészet Magyarországon Contemporary Architecture in Hungary
Az elmúlt századfordulótól Magyarország-szerte jelentős számban épültek olyan innovatív házak, amelyeknek szokatlan az anyaghasználatuk vagy eredeti módon reagálnak sajátos kotextusokra. Sok közülük már korábban nagy médiafigyelemben részesült vagy (nemzetközi) építészeti díjakat nyert, ugyanakkor akad közöttük kevésbé ismert, gyakran kisméretű épület illetve felújítás is, amelyet eddig nem igazán publikáltak sehol. A könyv szerzője, Emiel Lamers építész, a Piranesi és A10 magazinok tudósítója 2
1 épületet választott a 21. századból. Az épületfotókat kettő kivételével Bujnovszky Tamás készítette. A könyv betekintést nyújt a kortárs magyar építészetbe, új megvilágításba helyezve azt.
Since the turn of the last century, a considerable number
of new buildings have been realized all over Hungary. They are innovative, use unexpected materials or react to their specific context in an original way. Some of these buildings have already received some media attention or even won (international) architectural awards. But there are also less known, often small-scale buildings or refurbishments that have hardly been published until now. The author of this book, Emiel Lamers, architect and correspondent for Piranesi and A10 magazine, has selected 21 buildings of the 21st century. All the buildings, with the exception of two, have been photographed by Tamás Bujnovszky. The book will give you a new and inside view of contemporary architecture in Hungary.
