HIP DINING JAPAN
Dostępność:na zamowienie Hip Dining Japan showcases the most contemporary and hip restaurant designs in Japan. Reinterpreting the traditional spatial requirements of the Japanese dining space, the designers have created new ways to address these constraints as features. Often injected with a twist, some of the featured projects expound the private dining concept as fantasy structures integrated into the dining space, to create a sensational experience for the guests. Others mastered the art of applying über modern lighting in contrast to their Zen design sensibility, to enhance the encounter and dramatize the ambience.
CHARGED VOID: ARCHITECTURE
Dostępność:na zamowienie Alison and Peter Smithson, founders of Team X and authors of the classic Team X Primer, are among the most influential architects of the postwar decades. Their reevaluation of modernism shifted the focus of architecture and urbanism toward the particularities and uniqueness of human associations, urban patterns, and climatic conditions. Many of their ideas, both social (cluster and human association) and architectural (Brutalism, the nature of materials), profoundly influenced later generations of academics, students, and practitioners. As the social ideals of earlier times become an integral part of the reassessment of the built environment of recent years, the Smithsons continue to gain in significance.
CHARGED VOID: URBANISM
The Charged Void: Urbanism is the companion volume to The Charged Void: Architecture; the two together comprise the complete works of Alison and Peter Smithson. For the designers, architecture and urbanism were inseparable: buildings encapsulate urban ideas; urban systems are the means by which buildings function effectively.
