TASCHEN's 25th anniversary - Special edition!

 

If you've ever wondered what goes through architects' minds when they design buildings, you'll be happy to know that there's no shortage of brilliant reading material to satisfy your curiosity. Wading through the archives at your local library may prove fruitful to your endeavor, but it won't give you the instant gratification that Architecture Theory will.

 

The past five years have seen a revolution in Chinese architecture - the emergence of independent designers, and a number of new stars - and above all new and interesting buildings that are not the product of direct Western influence. These developments have laid the groundwork for an indigenous modernity that differentiates itself from outside schools as well as eschewing the temptation to put a "Chinese-style" roof on ordinary office blocks. The fact that Beijing has been chosen to host the 2008 Summer Olympic Games has been more than a catalyst for the development of high-quality contemporary architecture in China. Major foreign firms like OMA/Rem Koolhaas or Herzog & de Meuron are participating in the design of buildings that will have functions during the Games, but Chinese architects, too, have been mobilized in this massive effort to prepare the country for an unprecedented level of world-wide attention.

It might surprise some to hear that Spain has a vibrant culture of contemporary architecture. Delayed by the Spanish Civil War and the ensuing dictatorship under Franco, the emergence of modernity in Spain may have been late in coming, but today’s young architects are making up for lost time in a spectacular way. Original personalities like César Manrique Cabrera marked a move toward the modern in the 1960s, while Richard Bofill’s innovative work in the ’70s helped bring Spanish architecture to the world stage. In the 1990s, architects such as Rafael Moneo and Santiago Calatrava began to create the look of contemporary architecture in Spain as we know it today. From a modern interpretation of a bullring to cutting-edge green architecture, the book covers a dizzying variety of architectural innovation.

The small emirates and states located on the Gulf, at the eastern edge of the Saudi Arabian peninsula, are building new cities in the desert at an astonishing rate, from Bahrain to Doha, and south to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Comprised of Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras al-Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al-Quwain, the UAE is an oil-and-gas-rich region that has experienced an unparalleled architectural boom in recent years. With a dizzying array of ultra-modern towers popping up throughout the area, it's no surprise that the Gulf region has attracted many of the world's most prominent architects, including Tadao Ando, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, and Jean Nouvel, who are all designing groundbreaking projects for the ambitious Cultural District project on Saadiyat Island off the coast of Abu Dhabi. With these and many more remarkable, large-scale projects recently built or in progress, the Gulf emirates are perhaps today's top architectural hotspot.

Concrete is the most widely-used building material in the world today. Some seven billion cubic meters of concrete are used in construction each year, more than one cubic meter per person. Concrete is stone created by human hands in which the human creative spirit is reflected together with the timelessness and serene appeal of an 'everlasting' material. This volume presents 25 contemporary buildings from all over the world in more than 300 illustrations and architectural drawings: particularly interesting examples of the interior and exterior use of concrete in construction.

The use of glass as a building material was encouraged in particular by garden design, as the protection of exotic plants required the construction of greenhouses and orangeries. In a record time of just five months, Joseph Paxton, himself a garden designer, put up the Crystal Palace in London's Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851.

Architects at the cutting edge 

 

Architecture Now! Volume 3 was the winner of the prestigious Saint-Etienne Prize for the Best Architecture and Design Book of 2004. Volume 4 proves that the best keeps getting better, with new names from all over the world and the most exciting and unique buildings and designs. As always, easy-to-navigate illustrated A-Z entries include current and recent projects, biographies, contact information, and website addresses.

Now in its fifth installment, the Architecture Now! series is an ongoing project documenting the work of the most innovative and influential architects across the globe. Volume 5 features famous names and newcomers alike, and this time around a number of designers are also included, reflecting the new ways in which design and architecture are coming together. Since architecture also extends beyond walls, landscape architecture makes its appearance as well. Easy-to-navigate illustrated A-Z entries include current and recent projects, biographies, contact information, and web sites.

This sixth installment of Architecture Now!, featuring buildings ranging in size from Terunobu Fujimori’s tiny (6.07 square meters) Teahouse Tetsu to Norman Foster’s gigantic Crystal Island project in Moscow (1.1 million square meters), provides an overview of what is happening right now in architecture, be it of traditional inspiration, or at the very edge of current thinking. What is the spirit of this moment, and how does architecture reflect the creativity as the first decade of the 21st century draws to a close? Architecture Now! 6 is THE reference for what is happening and what is to come. Easy-to-navigate illustrated A–Z entries include current and recent projects, biographies, contact information, and websites.

Here the reform movement of the turn of the century is not only dealt with as an artistic event, but those economic and political interests which inspired, supported, and handicapped it are also taken into account. In the chapters "Movement," "Unrest", and "Equilibrium," the historical phenomenon as a whole is characterised and is also presented with its own distinct local features. The centres of Brussels, Nancy, Barcelona, Glasgow, Helsinki and Chicago are dealt with in subchapters as are Munich, Darmstadt and Weimar. Finally, Vienna, that city in which the synthesis achieved its culmination, is described separately. The outstanding artists are examined in detail in connection with the respective cities of their greatest activity. The result is a complex picture of the symbiosis of architecture, furniture design, and craftsmanship with their corresponding approaches to artistic revitalization.

Nowadays there is hardly an interior design publication which does not contain at least one article on Feng Shui, the one-thousand-year-old Chinese tradition of the harmonious arrangement of sacred buildings, graves, palaces and streets.

The Bauhaus Archiv Museum of Design in Berlin holds the most important
collection on the Bauhaus today. Documents, workshop products from all
areas of design, studies sketches in the classroom, and architectural
plans and models are all part of its comprehensive inventory. The
Bauhaus Archiv is dedicated to the study and presentation of the
history of the Bauhaus, including the new Bauhaus in Chicago and the
Hochschule für Gestaltung (Institute of Design) in Ulm.

Images annual review of contemporary architecture again delivers inspirational projects from around the world. Included in this volume are recent works from high-profile architects including Gehry Partners, the 2004 Pritzker Prize laureate Zaha Hadid, Rafael Moneo, Foster and Partners, Murphy Jahn, NBBJ, and many other world-rewned firms. Projects have been selected for their innovative and prize-winning qualities, all demonstrating the latest in corporate, educational, public, institutional, residential, and retail design. Sourced from North America, Europe, Australia, Asia and South America, each project includes plans, descriptive text and full-colour photography. Architectural critic and writer Catherine Slessors in-depth introduction is an interesting and insightful commentary on particular projects and current international architectural trends.

Though her work has often been overshadowed by that of her peers such as Le Corbusier and Marcel Breuer, Irish designer, lacquer-artist, and architect Eileen Gray (1878-1976) is now widely recognized as a designer of great talent and individuality. She first excelled in the exacting craft of lacquer, creating screens, panels, furniture, and objects of technical virtuosity and poetic strength. Eileen Gray then developed an interest in architecture, designing two houses, “E-1027” (completed 1929) and “Tempe a Pailla” (completed 1934) in the south of France, which are seminal examples of the spirit of the Modern movement. This book analyses and illustrates the full range of her furniture, interiors, and completed architectural projects.

Anyone who visits Barcelona today will come across the works of Antoni Gaudí—the architect who has attracted art-lovers from all over the world to Spain. It was here, in the capital of Catalonia, that the famous master of architecture produced nearly all of his works, including villas for the well-to-do bourgeoisie, the expansive Güell Park (which today is open to the public), and the famous church designed in honour of the Holy Family—a project which was begun over 100 years ago and has yet to be completed.

Various - and often irreconcilable - concepts of environmentally-friendly architecture

 

When is a house ecological? Does the use of natural materials and solar cells on the roof make a building an example of "green" architecture? Perhaps even Antoni Gaudí and Frank Lloyd Wright designed "greener" buildings than most contemporary architects, whose low-energy houses scarcely differ outwardly from traditional ones.

 

The Japanese garden, like all gardens, is more than mere nature; it is nature crafted by man. It needs the hands of the designer to give it meaning. The Japanese garden belongs to the realm of architecture; at its best, it is nature as art. The phases of its history document the constant redefinition of man's position within and towards nature. Its changing forms respond both to socio-economic developments and to religious and philosophical trends, and thereby reflect the spiritual climate in which its architecture was conceived.

Josep Maria Jujol (1879-1949) developed his unusual architectural style through many years of close, creative collaboration with Antoni Gaudi. Jujol’s work is characterized by a high degree of sensibility to the forms of nature, an emphatically anti-geometric aesthetic, attention to workmanship and detail, as well as the imaginative use of old and previously utilized material. It is an eloquent expression of his affection for the Catalonian landscape, his modesty, and deep religious faith.

TASCHEN's Modernism Rediscovered (2000) brought to light for the first time forgotten architectural masterpieces, drawn from photographer Julius Shulman's personal archives. Paying tribute to residential and commercial buildings that had slipped from public view, Shulman`s stunning photographs uncovered a rarely seen side of California Modernism. This extensive, three-volume follow-up to that remarkable volume brings over 400 more architectural gems into the spotlight. Not just restricted to the West Coast this time, the images were taken all across the United States as well as in Mexico, Israel, and Hong Kong.

Originally from Vienna, Richard Neutra came to America early in his career, settling in California. His influence on post-war architecture is undisputed, the sunny climate and rich landscape being particularly suited to his cool, sleek modern style.

Neutra had a keen appreciation for the relationship between people and nature; his trademark plate glass walls and ceilings which turn into deep overhangs have the effect of connecting the indoors with the outdoors. Neutra's ability to incorporate technology, aesthetic, science, and nature into his designs brought him to the forefront of Modernist architecture.

No other architect in the history of Western art has had an influence so spontaneous and yet so enduring as Andrea Palladio. Palladianism broke through all cultural stylistic barriers. It spread not only throughout the Neo-Latin nations but held Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia and the countries of Eastern Europe in its sway and formed the lineaments of English architecture of the 17th and 18th centuries. Palladio lived in an age which was extremely exciting for the historical development of architecture and his work was an important factor in the evolution from Renaissance to Baroque. This volume offers a thorough introduction to the architecture of Palladio and includes all works which researchers have attributed to him.

"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. "One of the great beauties of architecture is that each time, it is like life starting all over again," Piano says. "Like a movie director doing a love story, a Western, or a murder mystery, a new world confronts an architect with each project."

Santiago Calatrava is not only one of the world’s most prominent architects, but also an engineer and an artist. With recent projects such as the stadiums for the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens or the new railway station in Liège, Belgium, he has reached a level of undeniable notoriety in Europe and continues to move further ahead. The only architect ever to have his work exhibited at both the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, he is currently working on the main transportation hub for Ground Zero in Manhattan as well as the tallest building in the United States: the 160-story Chicago Spire Tower. Winner of the 2005 American Institute of Architects Gold Medal as well as numerous other prestigious awards, Calatrava is one of the greatest and most innovative architects alive.

Истинная суть здания проявляется не в четырех стенах и крыше, а в пустоте, заключенной внутри", - говорил Лао-Цзы. "Пространство", книга из серии "Архитектура в деталях", создана специально для того, чтобы вы могли своими глазами увидеть работы лучших мировых дизайнеров и архитекторов. Творческое мастерство и стиль любого дизайнера ощущается именно в "последовательности пустот" - здесь можно вспомнить и изящные анфилады, и "эффект пространства", возникающий, когда узкий вход внезапно открывается в гостиную с высоким потолком и верхним рядом окон, и плавный переход комнаты в террасу, и многое другое - элементы и их отношение ко всему пространству в целом образуют ту гармонию, которая стоит неимоверно выше капризов моды и стиля.

Связь формы и цвета волновала зодчих и художников с давних времен. В этой книге из серии "Архитектура в деталях", неразрывное единство формы и цвета используется для того, чтобы как можно ярче продемонстрировать стиль и мастерство современных архитекторов. Все еще неясным остается ответ на вопрос о том, как наша инстинктивная реакция на цвет отражается на восприятии формы и массы. Сможем ли мы достичь наибольшего эффекта, если используем строительные материалы, - дерево, бетон и металл, - в их "естественных" оттенках? И каким образом дизайнерам, выходящим за рамки общепринятых канонов цвета и формы, удается воплотить в жизнь свои идеи и вдохновить других на смелые эксперименты? Продолжая спор, не утихающий веками, "Цвет" представляют на ваш суд целый "спектр" мнений, которые, как нам кажется, непременно вас заинтересуют.

Серия "Архитектура в деталях" продолжает изучать роль элементов в современной архитектуре на основе работ молодых и признанных мастеров, проекты которых нельзя не назвать прецизионными и яркими. Все коллекции деталей, составленные Оскаром Ойедой, представлены фотографиями известного фотомастера, Пола Уорхолла, и вводным эссе Марка Пасника, расставившего все образы в исторической и концептуальной последовательности. Некоторые проекты - отражение мыслей дизайнера, уменьшены и приближены к реальности для простоты визуального и чувственного восприятия. В такие моменты мы понимаем, что архитектура может быть могучей силой, иногда вызывающей исторические ассоциации, иногда побуждающей к радикальным экспериментам. Эти детали показаны не как простое собрание идей, а скорее как индивидуальное выражение открытий, восторга, резкости, красоты и четкости. Они - значимые признаки работы архитектора, сознательные сигналы того, что истинное искусство дизайна живет и процветает.
