Big ideas for small buildings Over the years, talented architects have occasionally indulged themselves with the challenge of designing small but perfectly formed buildings. Today, with reduced budgets, many architects have turned in a more focused way to creating works that may be diminutive in their dimensions, but are definitely big when it comes to trendsetting ideas.
Taschen's new architecture series brings a unique perspective to world architecture, highlighting architectural trends by country. Each book features 15 to 20 architects - from the firmly established to the up-and-coming - with the focus on how they have contributed to very recent architecture in the chosen nation.
As soon as the first men bravely moved out of their protective caves, they surely built protective structures out of wood. The ultimate renewable resource for architecture is thus the oldest, but also the most modern of materials. Thanks to computer-driven design and manufacturing techniques, wood can be cut and carved in the most astonishing new ways. Such innovative contributors to the work published in this volume as the German professor Achim Menges are showing the way to the creation of complex, almost living wood structures.
Książka ma na celu ukazanie współczesnym Polakom obrazu miasta będącego niegdyś jedną z dwóch stolic dawnej Rzeczypospolitej Obojga Narodów - miasta owianego starą litewską mitologią i związanego z litewską państwowością, a będącego przy tym od wieków ważnym ośrodkiem kultury polskiej. Bieg historii ostatnich dwóch stuleci przyniósł wiele zmian, przywracając miastu rangę stolicy niepodległej Republiki Litewskiej.
