The Philosophy of Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again
ISBN: 9780156717205 / Angielski / Miękka / 1977 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A loosely formed autobiography by Andy Warhol, told with his trademark blend of irony and detachment In The Philosophy of Andy Warhol--which, with the subtitle "(From A to B and Back Again)," is less a memoir than a collection of riffs and reflections--he talks about love, sex, food, beauty, fame, work, money, and success; about New York, America, and his childhood in McKeesport, Pennsylvania; about his good times and bad in New York, the explosion of his career in the sixties, and his life among celebrities.

ISBN: 9780192801609 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What do we mean when we call a work of art "beautiful"? How have artists responded to changing notions of the beautiful? Which works of art have been called beautiful, and why? Fundamental and intriguing questions to artists and art lovers, but ones that are all too often ignored in discussions of art today.
Elizabeth Prettejohn argues that we simply cannot afford to ignore these questions. Charting over two hundred years of western art, she illuminates the vital relationship between our changing notions of beauty and specific works of art, from the works of Kauffman to Whistler, Ingres...

Architecture: A Very Short Introduction
ISBN: 9780192801791 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. This highly original and sophisticated look at architecture helps us to understand the cultural significance of the buildings that surround us. It avoids the traditional style-spotting approach and instead gives us an idea of what it is about buildings that moves us, and what it is that makes them important artistically and culturally. The book begins by looking at how architecture acquires meaning through tradition, and concludes with the exoticism of the recent avant-garde period. Illustrations of particular buildings help to anchor the general points with specific examples, from ancient...

Twentieth Century Design
ISBN: 9780192842046 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The most famous designs of the twentieth century are not those in museums, but in the marketplace. The Coca-Cola bottle and McDonald's logo are known the world over and may tell us more about our culture than a narrowly-defined canon of classics. One of the world's foremost design historians, Jonathan Woodham takes a fresh look at the wider issues of design and industrial culture throughout Europe, Scandinavia, North America, and the Far East. Drawing on the most up-to-date scholarship, he explores themes such as national identity, the "Americanization" of ideology and business methods, the...

Early Medieval Architecture
ISBN: 9780192842237 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The early middle ages were an exciting period in the history of European architecture, culminating in the development of the Romanesque style. Major architectural innovations were made during this time including the medieval castle, the church spire, and the monastic cloister. By avoiding the traditional emphasis on chronological development, Roger Stalley provides a radically new approach to the subject, exploring issues and themes rather than sequences and dates. In addition to analysing the language of the Romanesque, the book examines the engineering achievements of the builders, focusing...

Landscape and Western Art
ISBN: 9780192842336 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What is landscape? How does it differ from "land?" Does landscape always imply something to be pictured, a scene? When and why did we begin to cherish images of nature? What is "nature?" Is it everything that isn't art, or artifact? By addressing these and many other questions, Landscape and Western Art explores the myriad ideas and images of the natural world in Western art since the Renaissance.
Implying that land is the raw material, and that art is created by turning land into landscape, which then becomes art, author Malcolm Andrews takes the reader on a thematic tour of the...

The Timeless Way of Building
ISBN: 9780195024029 / Angielski / Twarda / 1979 / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The theory of architecture implicit in our world today, Christopher Alexander believes, is bankrupt. More and more people are aware that something is deeply wrong. Yet the power of present-day ideas is so great that many feel uncomfortable, even afraid, to say openly that they dislike what is happening, because they are afraid to seem foolish, afraid perhaps that they will be laughed at.
Now, at last, there is a coherent theory which describes in modern terms an architecture as ancient as human society itself. The Timeless Way of Building is the introductory volume in the...

A New Theory of Urban Design
ISBN: 9780195037531 / Angielski / Twarda / 1987 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The venerable cities of the past, such as Venice or Amsterdam, convey a feeling of wholeness, an organic unity that surfaces in every detail, large and small, in restaurants, shops, public gardens, even in balconies and ornaments. But this sense of wholeness is lacking in modern urban design, with architects absorbed in problems of individual structures, and city planners preoccupied with local ordinances, it is almost impossible to achieve.
In this groundbreaking volume, architect and planner Christopher Alexander presents a new theory of urban design which attempts to recapture the...

Chemical contaminants and other forms of indoor pollution have recently raised serious concern among occupational and environmental health workers, architects and engineers, and the Environmental Protection Agency and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

ISBN: 9780195044751 / Angielski / Twarda / 1988 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The antebellum era and the close of the 19th century frame a period of great agricultural expansion. During this time, farmhouse plans designed by rural men and women regularly appeared in the flourishing Northern farm journals. This book analyzes these vital indicators of the work patterns, social interactions, and cultural values of the farm families of the time. Examining several hundred owner-designed plans, McMurry shows the ingenious ways in which "progressive" rural Americans designed farmhouses in keeping with their visions of a dynamic, reformed rural culture. From designs for...

Native American Architecture
ISBN: 9780195066654 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 431 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For many people, Native American architecture calls to mind the wigwam, tipi, iglu, and pueblo. Yet the richly diverse building traditions of Native Americans encompass much more, including specific structures for sleeping, working, worshipping, meditating, playing, dancing, lounging, giving birth, decision-making, cleansing, storing and preparing food, caring for animals, and honoring the dead. In effect, the architecture covers all facets of Indian life.

Nineteenth-Century Mormon Architecture and City Planning
ISBN: 9780195075052 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book is the first comprehensive study of Mormon architecture. It centers on the doctrine of Zion which led to over 500 planned settlements in Missouri, Illinois, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Canada, and Mexico. This doctrine also led to a hierarchy of building types from temples and tabernacles to meetinghouses and tithing offices. Their built environment stands as a monument to a unique utopian society that not only survived but continues to flourish where others have become historical or cultural curiosities. Hamilton's account, augmented by...

Geology and Settlement: Greco-Roman Patterns
ISBN: 9780195083248 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This study explains the Greco-Roman urban form as it relates to the geological basis at selected sites in the Mediterranean basin. Each of the sites--Argos, Delphi, Ephesus, and Syracuse among them--has manifested in its physical form the geology on which it stood and from which it was made.
"By demonstrating the dependence of a group of cities on its geological base," the author writes, "the study forces us to examine more closely the ecology of human settlement, not as a set of theories but as a set of practical constraints..." Exacting attention will be given to local geology (types of... This study explains the Greco-Roman urban form as it relates to the geological basis at selected sites in the Mediterranean basin.
