RENZO PIANO 1966-2005 - XXL
Dostępność: na zamówienie "The array of buildings by Renzo Piano is staggering in scope and comprehensive in the diversity of scale, material, and form. He is truly an architect whose sensibilities represent the widest range of this and earlier centuries." Such was the description of Renzo Piano given by the Pritzker Prize jury citation as they bestowed the prestigious award on him in 1998. Whereas some architects have a signature style, what sets Piano apart is that he seeks simply to apply a coherent set of ideas to new projects in extraordinarily different ways.

House with a View
Dostępność: na zamówienie The increasing popularity of chalets in alpine and semi-alpine areas makes this publication a timely reminder that traditional housing is constantly evolving. This book, by internationally acclaimed architecture writer Philip Jodidio, examines the myriad forms of the modern chalet. More than just the traditional abode for the Swiss mountain lifestyle or the kitsch restaurant or retail complex, many architects have re-invigorated the chalet to respond to modern aesthetic and sustainability requirements.

It also explores how the recent economic downturn has led to fewer large-scale projects, but has also stimulated creative thinking, as architects find new ways to work imaginatively inside budget constraints. Large-scale works include the futuristic Chinese Central TV Tower in Beijing (OMA) and the Burj Khalifa (SOM)

100 HOUSES FOR 100 ARCHITECTS
Największym wyzwaniem podczas projektowania domów jest zachowanie odpowiedniej równowagi między estetyką a indywidualnymi wymaganiami użytkowników. Choć ważne jest utrzymanie i wdrożenie wizji i stylu architekta, odbiorca-klient musi czuć się tu jak u siebie. Szczególnie ciekawe zatem wydaje się prześledzenie właśnie tych domów, które architekci tworzą sami dla siebie. Przyjmując wówczas zasadę, że domy są odzwiercieldeniem osobowości mieszkańców, domy architektów zdają się pełnić funkcję swoistej autobiografii. Lokalizacja, rozplanowanie, styl, oświetlenie, wystrój wnętrza, meble-każdy szczegół nadaje barwę danej historii.

ARCHITECTURE NOW! HOUSES
Może być wiele charakterystycznych różnic w projektowaniu domów, ale fakt fundamentalnej idei schronienia pozostaje niezmienny od wieków. Życie i śmierć wchodzą w architekturę na przykładzie przestrzeni każdego budynku mieszkalnego, od dawnych jaskiń do wielkich zamków. Dom jest wyznacznikiem jego aktualnej cywilizacji, społeczeństwa, jego zamożności, ale najbardziej - inteligencji. W zależności od architekta i jego klienta, dom może stać się tą architekturą, która zwróci na siebie uwagę setek milionów ludzi, może akceptować regulacje urbanistyczne lub z nimi kontrastować. Może także wzbijać się w powietrze lub być schowanym głeboko w ziemi.
ARCHITECTURE: NATURE
ARCHITECTURE NOW! GREEN...
These days, green is the name of the game. There has never been so much interest in the ecological impact of buildings as there is today. This is not a negligible fact in the struggle to control pollution and in the search for responsible "sustainable" methods of construction.
