Architect: The Pritzker...
The Pritzker Prize is the most prestigious international prize for architecture. Awarded annually to a living architect by an independent jury of experts, its purpose is ‘to honour a living architect whose built work demonstrates a combination of those qualities of talent, vision and commitment, which has produced consistent and significant contributions to humanity and the built environment through the art of architecture.’ Architect is the first book to document what the Pritzker Prize laureates have said and written about their field, with a selection of their major built works, seen in more than 700 images.

ART DECO ARCHITECTURE
Art Deco buildings, with their highly ornate façades and dramatic forms, are a vital part of our surroundings. This wide-ranging exploration of Art Deco architectural design embraces many different times and places in its summary of the movement’s origins, development and influence. Various types of architecture were termed Art Deco, and their antecedents might include Arts and Crafts, fin-de-siècle Vienna, Cubism, Expressionism and the Bauhaus.
ART DECO COMPLETE
Sumptuously illustrated with over 1,000 illustrations and written by one of the world’s leading experts, Art Deco Complete will be the definitive work on the subject for many years to come. In the most comprehensive account of the decorative arts of the Art Deco period ever assembled, Alastair Duncan celebrates the rich variety of form and diverse international roots that have made it a perennial favourite of collectors and a constant source of inspiration for designers. Straddling two World Wars and the Great Depression, ushering in the Jazz Age and the era of the automobile and skyscraper, and shaping everything from the Golden Gate Bridge to the humble desk lamp, the story of Art Deco is the story of our modern world.
ART DECO INTERIORS
ART DECO INTERIORS Decoration and Design Classics of the 1920s and 1930s By the time of the great Paris Exhibition of 1925, the idea that an interior and its furnishing should form a complete design - a 'total look' - dominated the thinking of both designers and their sophisticated clients. In the later 1920s and 1930s, whole studios were established, notably in France and the United States, to serve the needs of a design- and style-conscious middle class intent on showing off its newly refined taste for things modern and exotic: the richly lacquered screen, the tubular steel chair, the vivid geometric carpet.

Fields addressed include architecture, glass and lighting, ceramics, gardens, and furniture, and detailed studies of specific Arts and Crafts pieces are presented alongside more than 300 meticulously researched images.

Julia Klimi's stunning photographs of domestic interiors, specially taken over a period of several years, capture the quintessential Greek style, while pointing out rich regional variations.
AT HOME IN TURKEY
Dostępność:na zamowienie A spectacular transformation is taking place in Turkey … … its rich and varied traditions of design and decoration are being invigorated and modernized in a way that celebrates and builds upon traditions rather than destroying them. Travelling through the seasons to the four corners of Turkey, from Istanbul to the Aegean and Cappadocia, the celebrated photographer Solvi dos Santos has captured the soul of the Turkish home. The range of the homes shown is as varied as the homeowners; from fashion designers and architects to artists, vintners and authors.
AVANT GARDENERS
AVANT GARDNERS 50 Visionaries of the Contemporary Landscape‘… this is the most important book of the year for me, thoughtful (Richardson always is), beautifully produced and taking its readers into much unfamiliar territory – The Independent With over 100 projects, this book is an encyclopaedic look at the cutting edge in garden design and offers an inspirational archive for practitioners and enthusiasts. Contemporary garden design has embraced the latest thinking in science and materials, architecture and product design – redefining the border between nature and the man-made. One indication of the rise in popularity – and controversy – of these gardens has been the growing number of conceptual garden festivals, which have become the premier international showcases for new ideas.

BAWA - THE SRI LANKA GARDENS
Dostępność:na zamowienie Geoffrey Bawaâs architectural work is well documented, but less attention has been paid to his work on gardens. This book focuses on his two most famous gardens: Lunuganga, on his own estate, and the lesser-known garden he fashioned for his brother, Bevis. Evolved over several decades, the gardens and their outbuildings and sculpture represent high points of all-encompassing tropical design. This book begins with a largely photographic overview of Sri Lankaâs natural features, showing the varied palette of landscapes that inspired Bawaâs sensitive treatment of architecture.
BIG SHED
BUILDING BRASILIA
An architect by training and an enthusiast of Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe, photographer Marcel Gautherot was close to an elite group of Brazilian modernist architects such as Oscar Niemeyer and Roberto Burle Marx. Aesthetic and political affinities made him Niemeyer’s photographer of choice, and Gautherot had privileged access to all stages of the building of Brasilia, Brazil’s new capital and a landmark of modernist architecture and urbanism.
