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."

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).

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.
