Indeks: BREUER
In 1956, Time magazine called him one of the “form-givers of the 20th century“: with his invention of steel-tube furniture, Marcel Breuer (1902-1981) has made his mark in the history of design at the tender age of 23. He started his architectural career as one of the Bauhaus’s most influential architects with the 1932 Harnischmacher House.

He started his architectural career as one of the Bauhaus’s most influential architects with the 1932 Harnischmacher House. Even Breuer’s earliest work was marked by the search for a symbiosis between local and global, big and small, smooth and rough. His sparse use of materials emphasized the balance among textures, colors, and shapes. In 1943, he conceived the “binuclear” house concept—the splitting of living and sleeping areas into separate wings—which he first applied to the Geller House I (1944-1946), and which would attain great popularity. After designing the UNESCO headquarters in Paris (1953-1958), reinforced concrete, with its formal plasticity und structural elasticity, continued to give monumental character to buildings such as the Abbey and Campus of St. John’s University in Minnesota (1953-1961), the IBM Research Center in France (1960-1962), and the Whitney Museum of American Art (1963-1966) in New York City. With his keen sense of proportion, shape, and material, Breuer is one of the most important Modernists and is still very much central in the discussion of contemporary architecture.
W ostatnich kilku dekadach zainteresowanie małymi domami gwałtownie wzrosło. To reakcja na zmianę kilku czynników – zmniejszenia rodziny, większej gęstości zaludnienia, wzrostu cen nieruchomości i zmiany wymagań mieszkańców. Małe domy to doskonałe rozwiązanie dla zapracowanych profesjonalistów, małżeństw bez dzieci i singli. Koncepcje XIX i XX wieku, w których znaczenie i prestiż właściciela były określane przez wielkość jego domu odchodzą do lamusa. Małe domy postawiły nowe wymagania architektom. Wiele firm i marek tworzy rozwiązania i produkty dedykowane zwartym przestrzeniom
Zajmuje się ona zachowaniem materiałów w konstrukcjach obciążonych w sposób powodujący przekroczenie granicy sprężystości i powstanie naprężeń i odkształceń plastycznych. Rozpatrywane pojęcia obejmują więc zakres problemów objętych teorią plastyczności.
Książka stanowi zapis myśli projektowej znanego architekta Romualda Loeglera. Dzięki niej czytelnik będzie mógł się zetknąc z wartościami i metodami pracy, którym autor jest wierny od początku swojej pracy zawodowej, i które – definiując i porządkując jego warsztat – pozwalają mu na odkrywanie wciąż nowych rozwiązań. Na kolejnych stronach pracy odkrywamy drogi poszukiwania formy domów jednorodzinnych w Krakowie i Łodzi, budynku wielorodzinnego zrealizowanego w Berlinie, kościoła św. Jadwigi w Krakowie, domu pogrzebowego „Brama do Miasta Zmarłych” w Krakowie–Batowicach oraz licznych zespołów urbanistycznych.

Contemporary Japanese architecture has, over half a century, achieved world-wide recognition not only for its highly innovative, often futuristic qualities, but also for its sensitive response to Japan’s cultural and physical context in the challenging setting of its increasingly urbanized environment. Today it is admired perhaps as much as its traditional counterpart, with which it often maintains a meaningful dialog. Botond Bognar’s Architectural Guide Japan introduces over 700 of the most prominent examples of this fertile architecture, while outlining its development since the mid-19th century until the present in a concise historical essay.
Content Superkilen in Copenhagen, Denmark (Topotek 1, BIG, Superflex) Benidorm Waterfront, Spain (OAB - Carlos Ferrater & Xavier Martí) London 2012 Olympic Park, United Kingdom (LDA Design, Hargreaves Associates) Gardens by the Bay in Singapore (Grant Associates) National September 11 Memorial in New York, USA (Handel Architects) Landscape architecture is comprised of a wide and multifaceted range of very diverse outdoor space designs – that can be stern or playful, shrill or romantic, straightforward or low-key. As their main ‘building materials’ are trees and shrubs, flowers and grass, landscape architecture projects are in a constant state of flux.
Though Louis Isidore Kahn (1901–1974) started his career late in his life, the few projects he was able to undertake were realized to perfection. With the Jonas Salk Institute in La Jolla, California (1959–1965) Kahn created a workspace with superb functional and aesthetic qualities; the institute`s Minimalist elements radiate a sense of eternal beauty.
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.
