THE GRAND TOUR
Architect Harry Seidler has spent more than 50 years traveling the globe, extensively photographing the peak achievements in architecture from 3000 B.C. to the present day. Thanks to sound advice given to him early on by his photographer brother Marcell ("Only use Leica cameras and Kodachrome film, which is archival"), Seidler's hobby quickly developed into a passion and, finally, an impressive archive of world architecture.

JAPANESE GARDENS
The Japanese garden, like all gardens, is more than mere nature; it is nature crafted by man. It needs the hands of the designer to give it meaning. The Japanese garden belongs to the realm of architecture; at its best, it is nature as art. The phases of its history document the constant redefinition of man's position within and towards nature. Its changing forms respond both to socio-economic developments and to religious and philosophical trends, and thereby reflect the spiritual climate in which its architecture was conceived.
ARCHITECTURE NOW! 2

LE CORBUSIER
ALVAR AALTO
A compact overview of one of the world's greatest architects "Modern architecture does not mean using immature new materials; the main thing is to work with materials towards a more human line." — Alvar Aalto Finnish architect Alvar Aalto (1898–1976) was strongly influenced by both the landscape of his native country, as well as the political struggle over Finland's place within European culture. After early neoclassical buildings, Aalto turned to ideas based on Functionalism, subsequently moving toward more organic structures, with brick and wood replacing plaster and steel. In addition to designing buildings, furniture, lamps, and glass objects with his wife Aino, he painted and was an avid traveler.
GAUDI - THE COMPLETE BUILDINGS
Anyone who visits Barcelona today will come across the works of Antoni Gaudí—the architect who has attracted art-lovers from all over the world to Spain. It was here, in the capital of Catalonia, that the famous master of architecture produced nearly all of his works, including villas for the well-to-do bourgeoisie, the expansive Güell Park (which today is open to the public), and the famous church designed in honour of the Holy Family—a project which was begun over 100 years ago and has yet to be completed. Antoni Gaudí's life was full of contradictions.
FANTASY WORLDS
One day, Ferdinand Cheval, a French postman, came across a stone atHauterives near Lyon, and was fascinated by its strange, evocative shape.He spent the next three decades collecting stones, shells, and fossils,and used them to build the Palais idéal.
O'Keeffe
Flowers in the desert Sensuality and color fuse with nature The art of American painter Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) is splendid with color and laden with hidden sensuality. O'Keeffe's fame was largely earned by her large-format flower pictures that have assured her an unusual place in the annals of art, between realist and abstract. Our Basic Art Series study traces the idiosyncratic of O'Keeffe's career, and numerous illustrations document the most important periods in her lengthy life in art.
BAUHAUS 1919-1933
WORLD ARCHITECTURE....
An aesthetic founded on the sheer thrill of pushing to the limits of technical and economic viability "Modern architecture is not a new branch of an old tree - it is an altogether new shoot rising beside the old roots." .
SAARINEN
Each age must create its own architecture out of its own technology and one which is expressive of its own Zeitgeist - the spirit of the time." — Eero Saarinen Eero Saarinen (1910-1961) was one of the 20th century's great visionaries, both in the fields of furniture design (he created the ubiquitous Knoll "Tulip" chairs and tables, for example) and in architecture. Among his greatest accomplishments are monuments that shaped architecture in postwar America and became icons in themselves: Washington D.C.'s Dulles International Airport, the very sculptural and fluid TWA terminal at JFK Airport in New York, and the 630 ft (192m) high Gateway Arch of St. Louis, Missouri. Marrying curves and dynamic forms with a Modernist aesthetic, he brought a whole new dimension to architecture.
NEW YORK INTERIORS
Dostępność:na zamowienie It's a classic thing we've all heard: "New York is great to visit, but I wouldn`t want to live there."

The Hell's Angel who sleeps next to a coffin, the painter who makes art from trash, the woman who's brought Provence to Downtown, the couple who live in the Brooklyn of the 19th century— "typical" New Yorkers` homes are presented alongside those of its glitterati (such as Leo Castelli, Wolfgang Joop, Isabella Rossellini and Steven Spielberg).
