SHIGERU BAN: COMPLETE WORKS...
Every building ever realized by the renowned Japanese master Limited to 200 numbered copies, delivered in a clamshell box and each signed by the architect, this Art Edition features a special cover custom made by Shigeru Ban, with a hand-crafted mesh of polished African Samba wood (Triplochiton scleroxylon), inspired by the roof design of the new Centre Pompidou-Metz. Shigeru Ban (b. Tokyo, 1957) attended SciArc in California and earned his degree at the Cooper Union School of Architecture in New York. Based in Tokyo and Paris, Ban consistently challenges accepted notions of architecture, designing a house without walls, or an exhibition space made from paper tubes and shipping containers.

NEUTRA, COMPLETE WORKS
The quintessential California Modernist Richard Neutra and his search for modern architecture "[...] the definitive volume on the Viennese-born architect." - Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Originally from Vienna, Richard Neutra came to America early in his career, settling in California. His influence on post-war architecture is undisputed, the sunny climate and rich landscape being particularly suited to his cool, sleek modern style. Neutra had a keen appreciation for the relationship between people and nature; his trademark plate glass walls and ceilings which turn into deep overhangs have the effect of connecting the indoors with the outdoors.
CALATRAVA SANTIAGO (PL)
"Bez wzglęgu na to, jak wyrafinowaną matematyką i inzynierią posługuje się w swej pracy Santiago Calatrava, kierują nim sztuka i uczucie, dzięki którym tworzy dzieła wykraczające daleko poza trywialne obliczenia rozkładu sił i naprężeń" - Philip Jodidio Santiago Calatrava to nie tylko jeden z najbardziej wybitnych architektów na świecie, ale także świetny inżynier i jednocześnie artysta. Ze swoimi projektami, takimi jak stadiony olimpijskie w Atenach (rok 2004), stacja kolejowa w Liège (Belgia), osiągnął on bardzo wysoki poziom architektury i kontynuuje tę passę do dzisiaj.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh
Dostępność: na zamówienie Charles Rennie Mackintosh (Glasgow 1868-Londres 1928), Scottish architect and designer, had a great influence on twentieth century architecture and decoration. He graduated from the Glasgow School of Art but soon abandoned the affected Victorian style to embrace one based on simplicity and geometrical shapes. The project for the Glasgow School of Art (1897-1899) established his reputation. This rationalist building juxtaposes long, delicate curves against its rectangular structure; it was extended by adding a library (1907-1909).
