A guide to the prominent architectural movements of the last 25 years.
This comprehensively illustrated book records and assembles material on over 150 buildings by Karl Schinkel, Germany's most important 19th century architect.
"Geometry in Architecture, a revised edition of Pioneer Texas Buildings, juxtaposes the historic structures with works by twenty contemporary architects who are inspired by the pioneer tradition to show how seamlessly the basic geometries translate from one era to another. As in the earlier book, sketches and brief commentary by Clovis Heimsath explain how squares, triangles, and circles take shape in the cylindrical forms that comprise houses and other buildings. Then black and white photographs, the heart of the book, illustrate these geometric forms in historic and modern buildings."--BOOK JACKET.
• More than 120 of today's architecturally significant homes, selected by a panel of international consultants • A written and visual journey through the homes of different times and cultures-from Mayan thatched huts to the grand palaces of Europe and Asia • Includes an "Architects A-Z" feature--an easy-reference historical guide to the architects who have shaped architectural trends and design From inner-city living and outer-city sprawl to spectacular country retreats and glimpses to the future, the architectural solutions used by today's architects can be found in Home. The book offers an insider's perspective, drawing on examples from history through to current trends. Home features easy to read floor plans and section views, stunning photography and perspectives from the architects themselves. Home is a beautifully rich and inspiring visual reference book for anyone interested in designing, creating, and expanding their knowledge of architecture and home design.
There is a copius and wide-ranging body of literature on Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Germany's most important 19th-century architect.This volume hopes to fill the gap by providing the fullest possible compliation.
Includes some contributions from Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) students, graduates and faculty, such as K. Michael Hays, Sanford Kwinter and Michael Meredith.
Explores "fundamental questions about how good--and not-so-good--buildings are designed and constructed. Introducing the reader to the rich and varied world of modern architecture, [the author] takes us behind the scenes, revealing how architects as different as Frank Gehry, Renzo Piano, and Robert A. M. Stern envision and create their designs"--Dust jacket flap.
Now We See Now chronicles the projects and findings of a firm that is charting bold new directions in generative design and other intersections of science and architecture. In the context of massive and accelerating change--in technology, science, climate, and society--the nature of architectural design is also evolving and coming to life in new ways. New York-based office The Living has developed a unique design approach that explores projects through the application of new technologies, materials, and the growing field of generative design (design that uses software to emulate nature's evolutionary processes). These methods are futuristic, even utopian, but also raw and immediate in their application of hands-on prototyping and testing through making. The Living addresses urgent issues through reframing design with today's tools. David Benjamin, founding principal of The Living, explains his methodologies through numerous projects and abundant research that are making real inroads to what is increasingly known as generative design. Benjamin executes numerous projects that demonstrate these surprising techniques, including the Princeton Embodied Computation Lab, a new building for research on next-generation design and construction technologies; Hy-Fi, a branching tower for MoMA PS1 made of a new type of biodegradable brick; and using principles of adaptive networks to prototype new structural dividers for Airbus that are nearly 50% lighter than traditional ones. Now We See Now documents this emerging body of work and points to new directions for an evolving discipline, surveying projects at a variety of scales for a variety for clients. For an era where rapid change is the norm, The Living demonstrates how future design practices can embrace uncertainty and generate surprising solutions to tomorrow's challenges.
Text in English and German. Friedrich Stuler was the third great Prussian architect of the 19th century, alongside Karl Schinkel and Ludwig Persius. This book produces most of Stuler's important buildings as well as exploring new academic aspects of his work. The essay herein sum up Stuler's life and work, his relationship with the middle ages, analysis of the museums, influences from the restoration in Prussia, the influence of Schinkel, Persius and Stuler on later architects.
Presents exciting contemporary commercial and industrial design projects by thirty professional architects from around the world.
