Through a wealth of case studies, it shows how designers exploit the two- and three-dimensional qualities of CD packaging to create unique, collectable items. It explores not only the traditional elements of design--image, illustration, typography, and packaging--but also innovative materials. Case studies look at how artwork is selected, created, and applied to CD packages; how designers make the most of the standard dimensions for CD packages; and at the use of special formats, unusual materials, slipcases, etc.

Niezastąpiona encyklopedia architektury W przeciwieństwie do większości encyklopedii architektonicznych, koncentrujących się głównie na budynkach i ich planach a nie na twórcach, The A-Z of Modern Architecture skupia się właśnie na postaciach projektantów, przejrzyście prezentując ich dokonania. Każda część, poświęcona danemu architektowi, zawiera jego portret, cytat, krótką notę biograficzną oraz opis najważniejszych prac. Ponadto zarysowuje tło historyczne. Wśród ilustracji liczne są rysunki, fotografie oraz rzuty budynków. Książka prezentuje nie tylko sylwetki pojedynczych twórców lecz także zespoły projektantów, zjawiska i style w architekturze począwszy od XVIII skończywszy na wieku XXI. The A-Z of Modern Architecture jest niezastąpionym źródłem wiedzy zarówno dla projektantów, studentów oraz miłośników architektury.

Though her work has often been overshadowed by that of her peers such as Le Corbusier and Marcel Breuer, Irish designer, lacquer-artist, and architect Eileen Gray (1878-1976) is now widely recognized as a designer of great talent and individuality. She first excelled in the exacting craft of lacquer, creating screens, panels, furniture, and objects of technical virtuosity and poetic strength. Eileen Gray then developed an interest in architecture, designing two houses, "E-1027" (completed 1929) and "Tempe a Pailla" (completed 1934) in the south of France, which are seminal examples of the spirit of the Modern movement. This book analyses and illustrates the full range of her furniture, interiors, and completed architectural projects. This is the reprint of the edition of 1993.

Poradnik zawiera ogólne warunki umów oraz umowy o roboty budowlane (dzieło), prace pro-jektowe w budownictwie, zastępczy nadzór inwestorski. Jest to zbiór dokumentów określających zasady prawne, techniczne i ekonomiczne warunków umów dotyczących realizacji przedsięwzięć budowlanych. Poradnik ma na celu ujednolicenie nazewnictwa w treści umowy poprzez stosowanie wyrażeń jednoznacznych (stąd powołania na PN), zagwarantowanie czytelności, kompleksowości i przejrzystości umów przez wyłączenie z ich treści ogólnych warunków umów, przybliżenie stronom ocen prawnych umów dokonanych przez sądy powszechne. Niniejsze opracowanie stanowi skondensowane omówienie ważnych postanowień umów opartych na obowiązujących przepisach, a także orzecznictwie sądowym. Poradnik zawiera przykłady i wzorce praktyczne. Wydając ten poradnik, Autor i Wydawca pragną przyczynić się do wzbogacenia problematyki umów budowlanych na rynku polskim, mając na względzie dobro wspólne wykonawców i inwestorów. Istniejące wzorce niemieckie VOB oraz europejskie wskazówki FIDIC w tym zakresie są nieodpowiednie, przez to mało przydatne do naszych polskich warunków.

Dostępność: na zamówienie If this is architecture for the gods, the gods must be groaning. Not to say that this big, handsome paperback look at more than 40 recent faith-centered architectural projects around the U.S.--complete with full-color photographs, plans, and excellent annotations--doesn't make it amply and diversely clear that there has been a boom in America in recent years in the building of churches, synagogues, mosques, and nondenominational chapels. And certainly not to say that architects aren't finding all sorts of clever ways to update religious iconography for modern times, or combine traditional and contemporary architectural styles under one roof--be it deeply pitched, in the style of the classic country church (like the new St. James Episcopal Church in Fairhope, AL, whose heart-redwood boards, painted bone-white, evoke the region's charming Gulf Coast carpenter-Gothic style), or domed (like Skidmore Owings & Merrill's high-profile Islamic Cultural Center, the first mosque for New York City's sizable Muslim population, skewed on its site to face Mecca, as required by Muslim law, and complete with its own dramatic, postmodern minaret of square, terra-cotta-colored panels).

Dostępność: na zamówienie The German Design Award is the country's highest distinction in the field of design. It is generally known as the Prize of Prizes because no other design award sets such strict criteria on its entries. A company can only enter the competition for the Design Award if its product has already been awarded a national or international design prize. For 2010 more than 1,200 nominated entries were received in approximately equal number for the prize's two categories. Out of these, the jury awarded 45 winners: 23 from product and 22 from communication design. This ratio is a testament that that each prize was duly earned. In addition to documenting the competition and the winners, German Design Award 2010 also contains an evaluation of the current influences on design by the German Design Council, one of the world's leading competence centers for communication and know-how transfer in the design field. This detailed report, with a rich selection of images, puts recent design developments into context. It explains how the various design currents are related to each other and how they are expected to evolve over the next few years. With its almost 700 pages, German Design Award 2010 is an opulent collection of outstanding state-of-the-art solutions in product and communication design. The book not only provides insight into the work of current leaders in the field, but through its selection of winning design ideas, it also anticipates which challenges design will face in the future.

More than any of their contemporaries, Swiss architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron are challenging the boundaries between architecture and art. Natural History explores that challenge, examining how the work of this formidable pair has drawn upon the art of both past and present, and brought architecture into dialogue with the art of our time. Echoing an encyclopedia, this publication reflects the natural history museum structure of the exhibition which it accompanies, organized by the Canadian Centre for Architecture. Models and projects by Herzog & de Meuron, as well as by other artists, are structured around six thematic portfolios that suggest an evolutionary history of the architects' work: Appropriation & Reconstruction, Transformation & Alienation, Stacking & Compression, Imprints & Moulds, Interlocking Spaces, and Beauty & Atmosphere. Each section is introduced with a statement from Herzog, and more than 20 artists, scholars, and architects have contributed essays, including Carrie Asman, Georges Didi-Huberman, Kurt W. Forster, Boris Groys, Ulrike Meyer Stump, Peggy Phelan, Thomas Ruff, Rebecca Schneider, Adolf Max Vogt, and Jeff Wall. A building is a building. It cannot be read like a book; it doesn't have any credits, subtitles or labels like pictures in a gallery. In that sense, we are absolutely anti-representational. The strength of our buildings is the immediate, visceral impact they have on a visitor. --Jacques Herzog Edited by Philip Ursprung. Contributions by Fernando Romero, Carrie Asman, Boris Groys, Gernot Bohme, Jeff Wall, Thomas Ruff, Alfred Richterich, Adolph Max Vogt, Alejandro Zaera-Polo, Reinhold Hohl, Petros Koumoutsakos, Albert Lutz, Christian Muoeix, Hurzeler, Catherine, Rebecca Schneider and Remy Zaugg. Foreword by Phyllis Lambert. Introduction by Kurt W. Forster.
