Książka pt. "Jan Szpakowicz. Przestrzeń elementarna" to pierwsza, monograficzna publikacja jest poświęcona postaci Jana Szpakowicza - architekta nieznanego szerszej publiczności, który jednak ma na koncie szereg ciekawych projektów zarówno zrealizowanych, jak i niezrealizowanych.
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.
Architectural detailing makes a building unique, and an architect outstanding. Detail in Contemporary Residential Architecture provides analysis of both the technical and the aesthetic importance of details in the development of contemporary residential architecture. Featuring many of the world's most highly acclaimed architects, the book presents more than 50 of the most recently completed and influential house designs. For each house there are colour photographs, plans of every floor, sections and elevations as well as numerous construction details.
This book provides an in-depth study of the design and construction processes behind 25 leading contemporary buildings. Covering a broad range of international projects, the book illustrates the working methods and creative concerns of both long-established and emerging international architects. Every stage of each project is included, from the demands of the original brief, through early sketches and design development to investigation of building regulations and collaboration with engineers, contractors, builders and clients. Each project is presented through an explanatory overview, sketches, details, CAD renderings, models and construction shots, all captioned in great technical detail.
While computers have facilitated and enriched the ways in which architects can develop and present their ideas, there is also a growing lack of skills in other forms of image-making that was traditionally furnished through training in drawing and sketching. This book focuses on the exciting possibilities for representing the built environment with all the techniques – both ancient and modern – that are now available. Students today need to learn the following skills: how to draw using a range of media, the basic rules of making effective spatial images, how to read a drawing, and how to express ideas through appropriate media and forms of communication.
Architekturę sakralną XX wieku cechowała niespotykana wcześniej różnorodność formuł artystycznych. Przyczyną takiego stanu rzeczy było pojawienie się na przełomie XIX i XX wieku nowych idei teologicznych i koncepcji artystycznych, które pozostawały w sprzeczności z bardziej tradycyjnymi ujęciami. Jednym z ważnych zjawisk ideowych, które naruszyły dotychczasowe podstawy budownictwa kościołów, było wystąpienie wśród teologów tezy o pozytywnym sensie zjawiska desakralizacji.
Pięknie wydana i bogato ilustrowana książka jest pierwszym, a zarazem kompletnym opracowaniem unikatowego w skali europejskiej zjawiska, jakim są dwory śląskie. Prezentowana w niej jest bogata dokumentacja fotograficzna ukazująca stan obecny obiektów, ikonografia w postaci m.in. rysunków F.B.Wernera i B. Mannfelda, rycin F.G.Endlera czy T. Blatterbauera, fotografie archiwalne, a także rzuty wszystkich budynków oraz zachowane elementy wystroju. Redaktorem naukowym książki jest kustosz Muzeum Architektury, pani Beata Fekecz-Tomaszewska.
