Peter Zumthor Therme Vals

Therme Vals, the spa complex built in the Swiss Alps by celebrated architect Peter Zumthor, became an icon of contemporary architecture soon after its opening in 1996. Inspired by the spa s majestic surroundings, Zumthor built the structure on the sharp grade of an Alpine mountain slope with grass-topped roofs to mimic Swiss meadows, captured here in a series of sumptuous images. Peter Zumthor Therme Vals, the only book-length study of this singular building, features the architect s own original sketches and plans for its design as well as Helene Binet s striking photographs of the...

Gottfried Böhm
ISBN: 9783936314199 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1986, when Gottfried Bohm won the Pritzker Prize, the award was only a few years old, but it was already regarded as the greatest international accolade in architecture. Bohm, the first and only German ever to receive the prize, was honored by the Pritzker committee in part for his work from the 1950s and 60s, which was almost exclusively devoted to the construction and reconstruction of churches. Bohm's Pilgrimage Church in Neviges, Germany (1964-68), for example, is a crystalline ecclesiastical building modeled in exposed concrete, and a beautiful example of Bohm's virtuosity. In Bohm's...

Schweger Assoziierte Architekten: Bauten und Projekte/ Buildings and Projects 1999-2005
ISBN: 9783936314427 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The architect Peter P. Schweger has called his work -a critical continuation of Modernism, - by which he adapts those principles with sensitivity to specific environments and historical context. This approach has earned him and his firm a slew of commissions and international prizes, from a restaurant in Hanover's Baroque Herrenhauser Gardens, its shape alluding to the garden's hedges but with a contrasting frosted-glass facade, to a redesign of the German Bundesrat plenary chamber in Berlin, the transparent ceiling signifying democratic openness (while solar panels save energy). He even...

ISBN: 9783936314441 / Angielski / Twarda / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Kisho Kurokawa's international projects have grown in size along with his reputation. Nearly five decades of geometrically elegant buildings, from celebrated recent ones like the Kuala Lumpur International Airport and an addition to the Van Gogh Museum, have established him as one of the field's foremost practitioners and thinkers. A co-founder in the 1960s of the influential Metabolism movement in Japan, which promoted adaptable structures, Kurokawa has recently articulated his theory of Symbiosis, in which he examines the contemporary shift from machine-age values to more organic...

Transiträume / Transit Spaces
ISBN: 9783936314809 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. If we think of "transit areas" as airport lounges, train-station waiting rooms and subways--spaces always in temporary use, and inherently associated with flexibility and mobility--"Transit Areas" suggests that more and more cities now match that description. These case studies cover urban transformations in Eastern Europe since the fall of the Iron Curtain.

Die anderen Städte/The other cities. IBA Stadtumbau 2010 / Die anderen Städte - The other Cities: IBA Stadtumbau 2010: Profilierung von Städten /Urban Distinctiveness
ISBN: 9783936314823 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ever increasingly, Western cities are affected by international competition for business and exurban competition for residential life. Some have fortified themselves by developing unmistakable profiles--brands and business communities based on specific economic expertise. IBA Urban Redevelopment 2010, an innovative project established by Saxony-Anhalt in the face of urban attrition there, here turns its attention to political approaches for promoting those distinctive urban identities, taking as examples communities such as Magdeburg, Newcastle, Lutherstadt, Wittenberg and Santiago de...

Archäologie der Moderne / Archaeology of Modernism: Sanierung Bauhaus Dessau / Renovation Bauhaus Dessau
ISBN: 9783936314830 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the process of renovating Walter Gropius's seminal 1926 Bauhaus building in Dessau, Germany, which was added to UNESCO's World Heritage list in 1996, architectural plans were unearthed among sheaves of long-forgotten paperwork, door handles discovered in the basement and original windows found in a greenhouse. This icon of Modernism and brick-and-mortar manifesto of Bauhaus ideas has always been regarded as a revolution in twentieth century architecture--not merely as the formal, architectonic expression of Modernist ideals, but as a laboratory for the technical innovations in building...

Die anderen Städte/The other cities. IBA Stadtumbau 2010 / Die anderen Städte - The other Cities: IBA Stadtumbau 2010 : Instrumente /Instruments
ISBN: 9783936314861 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Los Angeles and New York are ever more crammed with domestic and international migrants; Hartford, St. Louis, Gary, Baltimore and Flint are ever lonelier. This pattern of growth in urban supercenters and flight from midland cities is not just an American phenomenon. The pioneering German project "IBA Urban Redevelopment 2010" begins from the premise that our present methods of urban planning will prove inadequate for the long-term demands of shrinking cities. How can new instruments be developed? What disciplines should be involved? The fifth IBA title on this topic presents the current tools...

ISBN: 9783936314878 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What role should a city's historic architecture play in its future? In areas facing demographic shifts towards lower populations and, in a vicious cycle, economic slowdown--in the European and American heartlands--the question is crucial. And any answer requires innovative methods of preservation for monuments and historic buildings, beyond the current standards. Ideas for the reevaluation of structures at hand, for subsequent discourse, and for preservation itself are illustrated here with cases from the European cities of Quedlinburg, Halle-Neustadt, Le Havre, Ljubljana and Novi Beograd....

The new urban elite live a lifestyle that benefits from and heavily depends on the service economy, a development with potential consequences for architecture and urban planning.

ISBN: 9783936314946 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cell phones, automatic teller machines and the Internet have incontrovertibly become part of our daily lives, indistinguishable from other components of our habitual everyday activity. Life does not seem to have been fundamentally changed by these hi-tech, information-giving tools of convenience--or has it? Have we, unawares, become accustomed to a new way of living? And how can designers make creative use of these new digital possibilities? This publication of the Fourth International Bauhaus Kolleg--a year-long thematic graduate session run by the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation--offers...

Should an attempt be made to continue the traditions of Bauhaus? What role do modern principles play in today's architecture? What can be expected from alternative approaches such as manipulation or an entirely new design? These and other questions are examined here--through numerous black and white images and two DVDs--in order to continue the debate concerning the Director's House that was destroyed during the Second World War.

ISBN: 9783936314984 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When the public coffers are low, the burden for social policy and urban planning falls more to citizens, and community apathy or simply lack of involvement can have dire consequences. Addressing this globally crucial issue is the second volume in a series from the International Building Exhibition (IBA), an initiative helmed by the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation--housed in Walter Gropius's former studio--and exploring urban redevelopment in a number of German cities. The aim is that these pilot programs will provide practical models for worldwide urban research and design by 2010. Here, both local...

Barcelona Pavillon /Barcelona Pavilion: Mies van der Rohe und Kolbe Architektur und Plastik /Architecture and Schulpture
ISBN: 9783939633068 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mies van der Rohe's famous and often-reproduced Barcelona Pavilion, built for the 1928 World's Fair--then demolished in 1930 and reconstructed as a permanent installation in 1986--was an important building in the history of modern architecture. Known for its simple form and extravagant materials, such as marble and travertine, the Pavilion stood on a large podium alongside a pool. With its perpendicular planes that seemed to shoot out into three-dimensional space, it was considered an instant milestone for both architecture and design. (Mies created his famous Barcelona Chair to go inside of...

The Architect Hugh Stubbins: Fifties American Modernism in Berlin
ISBN: 9783939633242 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The American architect Hugh Stubbins (1912-2006), who began his career as Walter Gropius's assistant at Harvard, saw his field as all-encompassing and his work as modest within it: -I think of architecture not as individual buildings but as the whole fabric of our physical environment. Architecture is the man-made world in its totality...It is seldom, if ever, that one can design the whole fabric.- Any disappointment Stubbins felt with the human inability to oversee -the man-made world in its totality, - he channeled into becoming one of the most important international architects of post-war...
