Dostępność: na zamówienie Essays by Germano Celant and Herzog & de Meuron. Introductions by Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli. Published by Fondazione Prada In the Aoyama district of Tokyo, a mixed-use neighborhood of low-rise buildings where not a square meter of land has been left unoccupied, the Swiss architecture team of Herzog & de Meuron has built a new store for Prada. In this chunky, silvery book, they meticulously illustrate the creative process that led to the realization of “a house and a plaza,” a tall and narrow kaleidoscope-like structure that houses a two-story retail space and multiple levels of offices, backed by an outdoor space for the public--a rarity in crowded Tokyo.
Drawings: The Motive Force...
Focusing on the creative and inventive significance of drawing for architecture, Drawings highlights the work of key contemporary figures who have, through their drawn work, affected the course of architectural thinking. Bringing this together is a chapter-by-chapter series of essays that broadly charts the forward movement and expansion of drawing iconography, techniques and methodologies. Thus it will move from such conditions as Victorian romanticism; Modernist heroics, Minimalism, Diagrams, the representation (and inspiration) of movement, technology and motive power; through to notions and examples of digital automatism.
The Power of Contemporary...
Since autumn 1996 the architectural debate in London has been noticeably accelerated by the sequence of lectures made possible by the generosity of Frank Lowe and the Lowe Group. It is the 96–99 Lowe Lecture diversity and vigour that marks them out from the usual series. London is an ideal place to absorb and respond to the continual waves of invention, questioning and inspiration offered by the architect concerned. The Bartlett School is now a recognised centre for experiment and analysis which provides a lively background for The Lowe Lectures and this book attempts to capture the ′hothouse′ feel of the lectures themselves.
