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.

Alvar & Aino Aalto Design...
Dostępność: na zamówienie Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto (1898-1976), the most important Finnish architect of the twentieth century, was also one of the most noteworthy modern furniture designers. His bentwood Paimio Chair is regarded along with comparable seating furniture by Marcel Breuer, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Charles Eames as one of the incunabula of twentieth-century design. His complete system of furniture-including stools, chairs, armchairs and a tea trolley with oversized wheels, all characterised by curving lines-was considered exemplary and acquired by the New York Museum of Modern Art as early as 1938.

YES IS MORE
YES IS MORE is the first monograph of its kind devoted exclusively to the trailblazing practice of BIG, a Copenhagenbased group of architects, designers and thinkers operating within the fields of architecture, urbanism, research and development. Unlike a classic architectural monograph, this book is more of a manifesto of popular culture, in which BIG s methods, means, processes and approach to the concept of architecture are revealed as being as unconventional, unexpected and result-producing as the world in which it exists, continually reaffirming its mission with a resounding YES.

ANDREA PALLADIO
ANDO MASAO FURUYAMA
Opublikowana nakładem wydawnictwa Taschen w serii „Basic Architecture Series” monografia japońskiego architekta Tadao Ando, którego francuski designer Philippe Starck nazwał „mistykiem z kraju, który już nie jest mistyczny”. Drew Philip nazwał jego budynki sztuką &bqduo;land artu”, które „walczą, by wynurzyć się z ziemi”. Jako jedyny Ando zdobył cztery najbardziej prestiżowe, architektoniczne nagrody: Pritzkera, Carlsberga, Praemium Imperiale oraz Kyoto Prize. Ten jeden z najwybitniejszych, żyjących architektów, łącząc wpływy tradycji japońskiej z duchem modernizmu dopracował się unikalnej estetyki swych budynków, w których łączył beton, drewno, wodę, światło, siłę przestrzeni oraz przyrody.
