Indeks: Box: Architectural Solutions wit
Shipping containers are the most conspicuous symbol of the globalized world economy: 20 or 40 feet of pure steel reduced to the essentials. Their qualities make them increasingly popu¬lar among architects around the world. As robust, inexpensive and universally available standardized modules, they fill the smallest building plots, house temporary cultural institutions, or serve as individual modules for complex building structures. The “boxes” can be stacked, cut open, and linked, integrated into existing architecture, or incorporated into the interior design. This results in sophisticated design concepts and well-thought-out functional solutions.

The projects selected for this volume reflect the great variety of the still young container architecture sector and show the enormous creative potential inherent in this universal construction element.

A pictorial list of 50 spans, Graf's album exalts both famous and utterly obscure bridges. By including rope bridges in Nepal, and the newest suspension bridge giants in Japan and Denmark, the author underscores the commonality to any bridge's purpose: vaulting chasms and straits to link people and commerce. Florence's famous Ponte Vecchio, with the shops built onto its spans, expresses the idea literally, while other celebrated bridges do so symbolically, like the now-destroyed Stari Most in Mostar, Bosnia. Whatever a bridge's exact physical purpose, it also exudes a powerful aesthetic presence that Graf handsomely displays: the book's design faces a one-page historical description with a full-page photograph, with an oblong format enhancing the feeling of length.
This illustrated volume on "Plazzi of Rome" presents the magnificent residences of popes and nobles of the Eternal City in an extraordinarily comprehensive and vivid way. Each palazzo and villa is described within its art historical context. Brilliant photographs capture the atmosphere of these fine palaces and villas in their whole splendor. How tightly the histories of the Borghese, Farnese, Colonna, Corsini, and many other of the grand old Roman families are interwoven with the histories of their stately residences becomes evident in the effort they spent in the construction, decoration, and upkeep of the buildings.

Like in the past the towers of the cathedrals, sky scrapers became the defining features of cityscapes with the advent of the 20th century. Since the turn of the millennium they are again among the most prestigious and coveted architectural challenges. The design freedom of contours and the plastic volume of blobs have long since superseded the purely orthogonal towers of the past. Most current projects are being implemented in the Arab-Asian realm, such as the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the world's highest building.
Dostępność: na zamówienie In the decades since the advent of the shopping mall, shopping has become synonymous with entertainment and the retail store a key player in establishing brand identity. In a growing trend, high-profile architects are designing provocative storefronts and interiors that create an aura of exclusivity to draw in customers and attract media attention. New Retail examines this phenomenon with an overview of twenty-four of the most innovative retail spaces built around the world in recent years, designed by high-profile international architects as well as smaller cutting-edge firms.
Celem pracy jest próba określenia roli budowli sakralnych w kształtowaniu przestrzeni współczesnego miasta, ich związków kompozycyjnych z otoczeniem, a także w definiowaniu czytelnego i zrozumiałego języka form przestrzennych. Autorka zastanawia się, w jakim stopniu współczesne świątynie stanowią znak w miejskim pejzażu kulturowym, a także, czy kościół, jako uosobienie tradycji, może tolerować nowe formy, które wyrosły na gruncie jej negocjacji. Jako laboratorium badawcze do szczegółowych analiz autorka wybrała twórczość sakralną Witolda Cęckiewicza.
