Kolejna publikacja z serii "Ocalić od zapomnienia" prezentuje tradycyjne formy budownictwa ludowego. W ciągu ostatnich dziesięcioleci z krajobrazu Polski zaczęły gwałtownie znikać drewniane budynki wiejskie kryte strzechą. Do chwili obecnej budownictwo ludowe przetrwało jedynie w formie szczątkowej, a jego zasoby kurczą się z każdym rokiem. Zniknęły prawie zupełnie wiatraki, młyny, kuźnie i karczmy, które kiedyś stanowiły nieodłączny element zabudowy wiejskiej. Książka ukazuje właśnie te odchodzące z krajobrazu polskiej wsi obiekty architektury ludowej. Zawarty w niej bogaty materiał ilustracyjny prezentuje w większości zasoby budownictwa ludowego, które możemy podziwiać w muzeach etnograficznych na wolnym powietrzu.

A przecież każdy z nich ma swoją duszę i niepowtarzalny charakter, kształtowany pieczołowicie na przestrzeni lat.
The work of Erich Mendelsohn (1887-1953) is extraordinarily open-minded in its attitude to material and planning, as a result of his completely original form of architectural thinking. Mendelsohn`s genius lay in the fact that he was not influenced by his predecessors; rather, his imagination sprung from an entirely personal place, refusing to borrow from any existing artistic forms or styles. He became famous with the Einsteinturm in Potsdam (the supreme masterpiece of architectural expressionism, one of the most heretical and revolutionary works in history), the Hat Factory in Luckenwalde, and the Schocken Department Store in Stuttgart. To this day, Mendelsohn`s methods remain stimulating and provocative and his work begs to be (re)discovered.
PAŁAC W WARSZAWIE autorstwa Waldemara Baraniewskiego jest to nowa publikacja w serii wydawniczej “Warszawa” – monografia Placu Defilad oraz Pałacu Kultury i Nauki.

Dostępność: na zamówienie Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto (1898-1976), the most important Finnish architect of the twentieth century, was also one of the most noteworthy modern furniture designers. His bentwood Paimio Chair is regarded along with comparable seating furniture by Marcel Breuer, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Charles Eames as one of the incunabula of twentieth-century design. His complete system of furniture-including stools, chairs, armchairs and a tea trolley with oversized wheels, all characterised by curving lines-was considered exemplary and acquired by the New York Museum of Modern Art as early as 1938.
