Los Angeles to także znakomity reportaż o przestrzeni kontrastów, gdzie sąsiadują ze sobą centra ubóstwa i zamożne zamknięte osiedla, bezdomni i celebryci, apokaliptyczne pogorzeliska i bajeczne plaże, przeludnienie i samotność. Dzięki siedmiu lekcjom Baldwina możemy choć trochę zrozumieć miasto, które każdego dnia wymyśla siebie na nowo.
This book on the Pritzker Prize-winning architect Tadao Ando explores his recent work, which embodies principles of sustainability, site sensitivity, and craftsmanship. Entirely self-educated, Tadao Ando is considered Japan’s leading architect and his sublime buildings are located all over the world. This book profiles ninety of Ando’s projects across the globe from the mid 1990s to today, including museums, convention centers, factories, shrines, residences, and corporate headquarters. Each building is beautifully photographed and is accompanied by drawings, sketches, plans, materials from the architect’s own studio, and in-depth commentary. In addition, Ando has written an enlightening essay on his work.
The latest in this successful series, this book features around 150 of the most important buildings in the history of world architecture - from the pyramids and Parthenon to some of the most significant works by recent architects. The buildings are organized by type - from places of worship and public buildings to houses - and are divided into nine chapters, each with an informative introduction that surveys the history of that type. For each building there are numerous, accurate scale drawings showing a combination of floor plans, elevations and sections as appropriate, all specially redrawn for this book.
