This sleek monograph documents the design and construction of a new wing in one of the world’s finest museums. Founded in 1870, Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts is not just an impressive museum — it is also housed in one of America’s most distinguished buildings. When it was time to add an extension to accommodate the museum’s holdings, Foster + Partners conceived of a brilliant strategy, one that reinforced the logic of the original Beaux-Arts footprint while adding a few neo-modernist twists such as the insertion of a freestanding glazed structure between the building’s two principal spaces.
Zawierająca pięćdziesiąt najważniejszych projektów Franka Gehry'ego, ta bogata monografia przedstawia pełny zakres prac architekta z ostatnich sześciu dekad. Ta książka, ułożona chronologicznie, przedstawia historię kariery Gehry'ego, od jego wczesnych projektów mieszkaniowych po obiekty publiczne i kulturalne, na których obecnie koncentruje się jego studio. Książka bada ewolucję twórczości Gehry'ego oraz to, jak nieustannie przyjmował innowacje formalne, technologiczne i konstrukcyjne, podczas gdy jego praktyka nigdy nie odeszła od jego wizji. Analizuje jego prace w kontekście środowiska miejskiego, pokazując, jak Gehry nieustannie stara się rzucić wyzwanie idei miasta, tworząc miejskie budynki, które reagują na otoczenie bez ich trywializacji.

Piano, virtuoso The wide-ranging career of the master architect Some architects have a signature style. What sets Piano apart is that he applies his coherent set of ideas in extraordinarily different ways. It takes more than a quick glance to see his touch on such individual structures as the Pompidou Center, The New York Times Building in New York, and his 72-story London Bridge Tower.
Philippe Starck describes him as a “mystic in a country which is no longer mystic.” Philip Drew calls his buildings “land art” as they “struggle to emerge from the earth.” He is the only architect to have won the discipline’s four most prestigious prizes: the Pritzker, Carlsberg, Praemium Imperiale, and Kyoto Prize. This thoroughly updated 2014 edition of the Ando monograph celebrates the completely unique aethetic of one of the world's most acclaimed architects. Spanning his entire career, including such stunning new projects as the Hansol Museum in South Korea and Teatrino in Venice, Italy, it explores his unprecedented use of concrete, wood, water, light, space, and natural forms.
Piranesi's fantastic worlds The great 18th century architectural artist and master engraver "Piranesi was as savage as Salvator Rosa, fierce as Michelangelo, and exuberant as Rubens… he has imagined scenes that would startle geometry and exhaust the Indies to realize."
