UNSTUDIO
UN Studio, które założyli holenderscy architekci, Ben van Berkel i Caroline Bos, tworzy przestrzenie zaskakujące swą innowacyjnością. Jednak nie przekształca ono form zapożyczonych z modernizmu, lecz czerpie z bogactwa wyobraźni epoki cyfrowej. Wykorzystywane przez UN Studio, najnowsze technologie komputerowe pozwalają mu zerwać z hierachizacją oraz linearnym cyklem procesu projektowania. Wykreowana przez to biuro architektura to wynik przyjętej strategii projektowania, polegającej na stałych, powtarzających się powrotach do wybranych motywów przewodnich zw. "design models."

LE CORBUSIER AND THE...
Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier dominated twentieth-century architecture much the way Picasso dominated painting. His outstanding achievements, his vision of a harmonious machine civilization, his paintings, drawings, sculpture, architecture, city planning, and writing together compose a portrait of the architect as "protean creator." Le Corbusier and the Continual Revolution in Architecture is a fascinating study of this genius.

HOFFMANN
Wpływ austriackiego architekta oraz projektanta Josefa Hoffmanna (1870-1956) jest wyjątkowy: przez ponad 60 lat prowadził on estetyczny dialog z modernizmem, Stylem Międzynarodowym oraz Art Deco. Jednak jego prace popadły prawie w zapomnienie. Dopiero w latach 80. odkryli je postmoderniści. Teraz ich znaczenie trudno zakwestionować. Jako projektant Hoffmann był jednym z czołowych artystów związanych z kręgiem Warsztatów Wiedeńskich (Wiener Werkstätte).

FREY ALBERT
In 1930, when Albert Frey (1903-1998) came to the US from his native Switzerland, he brought the influence of his mentor, Le Corbusier, with him. The innovative Aluminaire House that he developed together with A. L. Kocher was exhibited in 1932 by Henry-Russell Hitchcock and Philip Johnson in the legendary show in the Museum of Modern Art in New York “The International Style: Architecture since 1922” as one of the very few American examples of the movement.

EILEEN GRAY
Dostępność:dostępny Though her work has often been overshadowed by that of her peers such as Le Corbusier and Marcel Breuer, Irish designer, lacquer-artist, and architect Eileen Gray (1878-1976) is now widely recognized as a designer of great talent and individuality. She first excelled in the exacting craft of lacquer, creating screens, panels, furniture, and objects of technical virtuosity and poetic strength. Eileen Gray then developed an interest in architecture, designing two houses, "E-1027" (completed 1929) and "Tempe a Pailla" (completed 1934) in the south of France, which are seminal examples of the spirit of the Modern movement. This book analyses and illustrates the full range of her furniture, interiors, and completed architectural projects.
COUNTERPOINT LIBESKIND

In an enormous variety of projects around the world—major cultural institutions, convention centers, universities, hotels, commercial centers, and residential work—he has manifested his commitment to expanding the horizons of architecture and urbanism.

7500 gates for Central Park In February 2005, Christo and Jeanne-Claude will complete a monumental work of art in New York City's Central Park.

Seen from the buildings surrounding the park, The Gates will look like a golden, flowing river, while those walking through them will experience the ambience of a fluid, golden ceiling.
