NatØ Narrative Architecture in Postmodern London
ISBN: 9781138674813 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Chronicling the last radical architectural group of the twentieth century NATO (Narrative Architecture Today) who emerged from the Architectural Association at the start of the 1980s, this book explores the group s work which echoed a wider artistic and literary culture that drew on the specific political, social and physical condition of 1980s London. It traces NATO s identification with a particular stream of post-punk, postmodern expression: a celebration of the abject, an aesthetic of entropy, and a do-it-yourself provisionality. NATO has most often been documented in reference to...

Obsolescence: An Architectural History
ISBN: 9780226478050 / Angielski / Miękka / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In our architectural pursuits, we often seem to be in search of something newer, grander, or more efficient--and this phenomenon is not novel. In the spring of 1910 hundreds of workers labored day and night to demolish the Gillender Building in New York, once the loftiest office tower in the world, in order to make way for a taller skyscraper. The New York Times puzzled over those who would sacrifice the thirteen-year-old structure, "as ruthlessly as though it were some ancient shack." In New York alone, the Gillender joined the original Grand Central Terminal, the Plaza Hotel, the...

Victor Pasmore: Towards a New Reality
ISBN: 9781848222083 / Angielski / Twarda / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Focusing on the period from 1930 to 1960, this outstanding publication considers the transition of Victor Pasmore (1908-1998) from one of Britain's leading figurative painters to one of its foremost exponents of abstract art. From Pasmore's own writings and those of his contemporaries, a fascinating picture emerges of the years in the late 1940s and early 1950s when lyrical landscapes - incorporating increasingly suggestive formal structures - were suddenly superseded by abstract paintings and collages and then by constructed reliefs. Seeking to explore these decades and later years, the...

Born in Sondrio, Italy, in 1891, Per Luigi Nervi was a pioneer in the engineering and architecture of reinforced concrete.

Drawing on the Nervi archives and a wealth of photographs and...

Car ownership increased as standards of living improved and Dublin, in common with other European cities, engaged in much soul-searching about what kind of city was needed for a car-owning population and whether this differed from the kind of city that people wanted. Cars offered greater accessibility and this, combined with changes in the nature of industry and, especially, in the nature of retailing, profoundly altered the relationship between Dubliners and the city center. A move to self-service...

What is the role of architecture if not to realize a shared vision of the "good life," a vision that in the age of architectural modernism shaped--and was shaped by--a range of ideas about the home? With The Good Life, Inaki Abalos serves as our guide for a tour of seven iconic twentieth-century homes that represent various concepts for living. Some of the homes were actually built, while others were merely planned, painted, or created as part of a film set. We see Mies van der Rohe's House with Three Patios, Martin Heidegger's cabin in the Black Forest, Picasso's Villa...
