Architectural visions particularly keen on grasping the signs of new modes of living that are beginning to emerge at the start of the twenty-first century. Without making any claims to being exhaustive, we felt it was possible to pick out a sufficiently significant sample of houses designed by architects operating in different parts of the world and coming from a variety of backgrounds, displaying different levels of maturity of expression and belonging to different generations." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Casa Fuentes, Mexico, 2001, Fabrica de Arquitectura; House in Chicago, 1997, Tadao Ando; House in Blas, Spain, 1999, Alberto Campo Baeza; Blu House, Uruguay, 1995, Mariano Clusellas; Rose House, Australia, 2000, Engelen & Moore; House in Santa Eulalia del Rio, Spain, 2001, Carlos Ferrater; House by the Sea, Greece, 1998, Silvia Gm r and Livio Vacchini; House in Victoria, Australia, 2000, Sean Godsell; El Sereno House, Mexico, 2000, Daniel Alvarez/GA Grupo Arquitectura; Y House, United States, 1999, Steven Holl; House in Floirac, France, 1998, OMA/Rem Koolhaas; House in Naples, United States, 1997, Richard Meier; House in Kangaroo Valley, Australia, 1999, Glenn Murcutt; House on the Fuji River, Japan, 2000, Satoshi Okada; Skywood House, England, 1998, Graham Phillips; House in Nercon, Chile, 1999, Smiljan Radic; Sobek House, Germany, 2000, Werner Sobek; House in Moledo, Portugal, 1998, Eduardo Souto de Moura; Ungers House, Germany, 1995, Oswald Mathias Ungers; House in Manhattan, New York, 1996, Tod Williams and Billie Tsien.

Hardcover. Etat : Used - Very Good. This volume inaugurates a new series, aimed at a broad readership, and focuses in particular on the configuration of domestic space while also paying attention to the different modes of living that are beginning to emerge in the twenty-first century. The book presents twenty houses designed by the most celebrated architects of the moment, in a wide range of countries. Technical data, plans and a biographical profile of the architect are presented for each of the twenty homes, along with the project report. Located in very diverse geographical settings and designed by figures with an established international reputation--including Glenn Murcutt, Steven Holl, Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, Richard Meier and Rem Koolhaas--as well as by emerging young architects, the twenty houses represent a significant moment of crystallization in contemporary architectural research. The discussion of the architecture also raises an investigation of the profound changes that are now taking place in the institution of the family, in its makeup, in the rhythms of its daily life and in the forms of its leisure and work. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks. wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector.…

Hardcover. Etat : Used - Very Good. At the age of 49, Wiel Arets (b. 1955) is one of Holland's leading young architects and has won an international following for his spare industrial forms and his theoretical writings. Trained at the technical University of Eindhoven, Arets often works with translucent glass, concrete, and wood to integrate compositional strategies with his interest in transparency and reducing essential space to a bare minimum. His work has been compared to the rigorous vocabulary of Dom Hans van der Laan, the monumental lyricism of Tadao Ando, and the expansive transparency of Pierre Chareau. This book surveys the Dutch architect's work by presenting 31 of his most significant buildings and projects completed since the late 1980s, including the Academy for Arts and Architecture in Maastricht (1993), the AZL Pension Fund in Heerlen (1995), high-rise apartment blocks in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, and police stations in Vaals, Boxtel, and Cuijk. A theorist as well as an architect, Wiel Arets is very highly regarded in his native Holland as an architect who works in the modernist tradition yet whose innovation and influence defy comparison and categorization. He is a noted lecturer and educator, having held numerous teaching positions, including at the Architectural Association, Columbia University and the Cooper Union in New York, the HAK in Vienna, the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, and the ETSAB Barcelona. He currently is the director of the Berlage Institute Ph.D. program. In 1997 Arets was one of ten architects selected to contribute preliminary designs for the new MoMA expansion in New York. Influenced by his multidisciplinary studies at the Technical University of Eindhoven (where Hella Jongerius now teaches design), Arets began to draw from contemporary art, biology, cinema, and literature for inspiration in his work. He is well known for his writings, which go beyond architecture to cite Paul Valery, Jean-Luc Godard, and Gilles Deleuze, among others. One of his most well-known essays is 'Raster and Rhizome,' which compares his architecture to a rhizome in that his buildings rise to the surface and disappear again, with ever perceptible changes and layers building up in root-like scales and protrusions. This monograph, the first since a 2002 publication by Princeton Architectural Press, presents 31 projects in chronological order, from the Beltgens Fashionstore in Maastricht (1986-87) to a competition for the redevelopment of the Monjuic district of Barcelona (2002). Although most of his projects are in The Netherlands, the book includes an unbuilt project in Ghana, a competition for Sydney, Australia, and three projects in Spain. Arets's buildings are often geometrically rigorous and minimal, and his material palette includes gray and black plaster and paint, steel, wood, cement, and translucent glass. He is most renowned for designing three police stations in The Netherlands, in which he uses different kinds of glass in varying transparencies to distinguish areas that are traditionally 'visible' to the public from those areas that are traditionally concealed, such as cells and private offices. Overall, Arets's architecture emphasizes content over superficial image; the architect has commented that it is partially a reaction to the stylistic excesses and rampant signage in the contemporary landscape. It is these contemporary concerns such as artful changes in scale, cinematic progression, multidisciplinary approaches to architecture, and the binary opposites privacy and exposure that make Arets a favorite among students and a talked-about figure in today's architectural circles. wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector.

Hardcover. Etat : Used - Like New. Italian Renaissance architect Sebastiano Serlio (c. 1475-1555), who began to work as an architect only in his maturity and in France, is known and appreciated chiefly as a theorist and author of the highly influential treatise L'Architettura. This important publication is the first to document Serlio's work both as a theorist and builder. It traces the overall evolution of Serlio's production in relation to his time, commencing with a detailed analysis of the chateau of Ancy-le-Franc, in which the two fundamental components of his formal language are already apparent: his Italian training in the classical manner and the profound influence of the French emphasis on decoration. This book reconstructs the specific features and overall evolution of Serlio's career, one in which his activity as a designer and builder played a much greater role than was previously thought. The analysis of buildings and projects is supplemented by frequent references to his treatise and by a chapter on his life that aims to reveal his true personality by stripping away the prejudices that surround it.

Encuadernación de tapa dura. Etat : Como Nuevo. Etat de la jaquette : Como Nuevo. Edición Ilustrada. EN PERFECTO ESTADO DE CONSERVACIÓN Es un libro técnico de referencia que recoge el inicio de la consagración internacional de Sean Godsell, uno de los arquitectos contemporáneos más respetados y singulares de Australia. La publicación destaca por incluir un importante ensayo crítico introductorio de Leon van Schaik, arquitecto y catedrático de la Universidad RMIT de Melbourne. Godsell es célebre por practicar un regionalismo crítico extremo. Sus obras se caracterizan por una estética minimalista, abstracta e industrial que responde de forma radical al severo clima australiano mediante el uso de "pieles" arquitectónicas (paneles de madera móviles, lamas de acero y celosías) que regulan la luz y el aire. El libro documenta al detalle 23 proyectos y obras construidas clave hasta esa fecha, entre los que sobresalen: Carter Tucker House: Una icónica vivienda de fin de semana concebida como una caja de cristal pura forrada por paneles operables de cedro que se abren como aletas para transformar el interior en un estudio fotográfico iluminado por luz natural. Kew House: Una de sus residencias más premiadas de finales de los noventa. FutureShack: Un innovador prototipo de vivienda prefabricada de emergencia para refugiados o catástrofes humanitarias construida reutilizando contenedores de carga marítima. El modelo despertó tanto interés que llegó a ser expuesto físicamente en el Cooper Hewitt Design Museum de Nueva York en 2004.…
