Shigeru Ban: Updated version
From a house without walls to exhibition spaces in shipping containers, Shigeru Ban has constantly challenged architectural rule and expectation. In the age of the “starchitect,” he has also demonstrated an unremitting altruism in his practice: Over the course of his esteemed career, his inventive, elegant designs have been applied as much to private commissions as to humanitarian relief work at the sites of natural and man-made disasters around the world, from Kobe to New Orleans. For the Pritzer Prize jury, which chose Ban as its 2014 winner, the architect manifests “total curiosity and commitment; endless innovation; an infallible eye; an acute sensibility.
Oscar Niemeyer
The man who built the future. Seven decades of work from the Brazilian visionary. Now over 100 years old, Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer is still practicing - over seven decades since one of his first projects, a 1936 collaboration with Lucio Costa and Le Corbusier. A technical pioneer and one of the 20th century's most important architects, Niemeyer has designed close to 700 realized and unrealized buildings and, most notably, was the architect for the principal monuments in Brasilia, his homeland's futuristic capital city and his undisputed major masterpiece. The "New York Times" wrote on the occasion of his 100th anniversary: "In the 1940s, '50s and '60s he established himself as one of Modernism's greatest luminaries.

RENZO PIANO 1966-2005 - XXL
Dostępność: na zamówienie "The array of buildings by Renzo Piano is staggering in scope and comprehensive in the diversity of scale, material, and form. He is truly an architect whose sensibilities represent the widest range of this and earlier centuries."

Whereas some architects have a signature style, what sets Piano apart is that he seeks simply to apply a coherent set of ideas to new projects in extraordinarily different ways.

ARCHITECTURE NOW! HOUSES
Może być wiele charakterystycznych różnic w projektowaniu domów, ale fakt fundamentalnej idei schronienia pozostaje niezmienny od wieków. Życie i śmierć wchodzą w architekturę na przykładzie przestrzeni każdego budynku mieszkalnego, od dawnych jaskiń do wielkich zamków. Dom jest wyznacznikiem jego aktualnej cywilizacji, społeczeństwa, jego zamożności, ale najbardziej - inteligencji. W zależności od architekta i jego klienta, dom może stać się tą architekturą, która zwróci na siebie uwagę setek milionów ludzi, może akceptować regulacje urbanistyczne lub z nimi kontrastować. Może także wzbijać się w powietrze lub być schowanym głeboko w ziemi.
