Paperback. Condición: New. Roger FitzGerald has practiced as an architect in london since he qualified over 30 years ago. He brings an architect's keen eye for detail and construction, and combines this with a fascination for discovering and expressing through paintings what makes well-known places such as Borough Market, Brick…Lane or Parliament Square so special to the city. He has a passion for exploring unspoilt and hidden parts of London. His painting style combines colour, texture and collage to capture the essence of places. Frequently, he portrays buildings as an architectural stage-set: a permanent, calm and static backdrop to the vibrancy of everyday life. This contrast is exploited, with cool architectural colours offset by vivid warm tones and elements of collage which represent the life and bustle generated by moving people and vehicles. Tickets, menus, maps, books, newspapers and a host of other paraphernalia are incorporated into the images, layering meaning and adding complexity. The images are combined with short and personal comments which make Buildings of London an intriguing and inspiring guide to the architectural delights of the capital.Roger FitzGerald was born in Cambridge, trained in Manchester, and moved to London in 1983 to start his career as an architect.He joined the architectural practice ADP from university and now chairs the practice, which is one of the top 20 firms in the country. Throughout his career as an architect he has enjoyed drawing whether as a design concept for a new building, or to explore, understand and capture the essence of existing architecture.

Paperback. Condición: New. Buildings of New York is the second monograph by artist and architect Roger FitzGerald, which follows on from Buildings of London, 2016. Turning his attention to the landscape of New York, FitzGerald brings his unique painting style to the continually evolving cityscape. Included within the book are en…tirely unique portrayals of some of the city's most iconic architectural landmarks. Individual structures, such as Grand Central Station, the Solomon R Guggenheim Museum and the many bridges, all sit alongside gentle and considered paintings of brownstone townhouses, views of the surrounding boroughs, as well as dramatic views of Central Park. Each image is accompanied by short, personal comments by the artist and this is what makes this book an inspiring guide to New York, as well as an ideally priced gift buy. FitzGerald's painting style combines colour, texture and collage to capture the essence of places. He frequently portrays buildings as an architectural 'stage-set': a permanent, calm and static backdrop to the vibrancy of everyday life.This contrast is exploited, with cool architectural colours being offset by vivid warm tones and elements of collage which represent the life and bustle generated by moving people and vehicles. Tickets, menus, maps, books, newspapers and a host of other paraphernalia are incorporated into the images, adding additional meaning and complexity.

Paperback. Condición: New. Choreographing Space is a reflection on the collaborative work of New YorkCity-based architecture practice, e+i studio. In the book, the founders of thepractice, Eva Perez de Vega and Ian Gordon, outline a fascinating selectionof projects from the studio, which will take the reader on a journey andgive… them a key understanding of the important work of this dynamic andforward-thinking architecture and design practice.This insightful book offers both a retrospective and speculative outlook.Retrospectively, it explores the people, places and practices that haveinfluenced each project. For certain projects it also proposes speculativepost-human scenarios, to support the idea that the impact of architecture onits environment involves a reconning with the ecologies it replaces.The book is uniquely structured. Organised into four parts, each partopens with a philosophical text that acts as an insightful prelude to thetopics, questions and reflections posed by each project. Each part concludeswith a speculative scenario, where one of the projects is imagined thrivingin a future where life is now almost extinct. These are not intended asapocalyptic or even nostalgic scenarios, but rather as affirmative alternativesto the bleak imaginary arising from the world's current climate crisis.Choreographing Space involves the self-reflexive act of selecting theconceptual strands of each project and organising them under headings,or species. Much like the concept of 'speciation' where living creatures arecategorised into seemingly related groups, under their 'genus'. This typeof grouping synthesizes the ideas, intents and hopes for each project, andlooks into how it could have been implemented differently. Nothing is static,or definite; projects are in continuous process of becoming, as they continueto relate to evolving ecologies of thought.

Paperback. Condición: New.

Kari Jormakka, Fabio Barry, Pedro Azara, Caspar Pearson and Henry Dietrich Fernandez are just some of the respected scholars whose writings comprise this authoritative look at the origins of architectural practice and its importance to the development of modern society.By exploring architecture as a basic human instinct, linking contemporary architecture to ideas surrounding mythology and cosmos and assessing the importance of architecture from an anthropological viewpoint, The Founding Myths of Architecture is a refreshing take on architectural theory. The oeuvre of Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Louis Kahn, Francesco Borromini, Andre Le Notre, Giorgio Grognet and Marcus Vitruvius Pollio amongst others is visually referenced in the context of these topics.Published in both French and English, this collection of essays pushes the boundaries of architectural criticism by encompassing history and anthropology in its analysis of design theory and by moving away from a purely rational and functional understanding of architecture.

Paperback. Condición: New. Great buildings are those that ignite the imagination and elevate us beyond reality, and - by those standards - Coromandel House in South Africa is truly a masterpiece. This unique farmhouse, which sits in a spectacular valley in Lydenburg, 275kms north-east of Pretoria, was built in 1975 and has since… developed a cult following for its unusual aesthetic - part building, part ruin, part wilderness - inspiring anyone with an interest in building within a natural context. It is something explored by Creating Coromandel: Marco Zanuso in South Africa.Coromandel House was designed by the Milanese architect Marco Zanuso (1916-2001), who was commissioned by the South African fashion retailer Sydney Arnold Press (1919-97) and Press's wife Victoria de Luria Press (1927-2015). They met in 1969, and their shared design passions sparked a decade-long partnership that yielded not only Coromandel House, a structure on the Press family's vast farm, but also Edgardale (1978), their business headquarters. Creating Coromandel explores the association between the clients, the architect and prominent personalities, including photographers David Goldblatt (1930-2018) and Margaret Courtney-Clarke (born 1949), German-born architect Steffen Ahrends (1907-1992), Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx (1909-1994) and Italian landscape architect Pietro Porcinai (1910-1986).Through impressive photos, sketches and testimonials, this monograph narrates and records an unknown period in Zanuso's portfolio. He designed small-scale products (in the field of industrial design) as well as large-scale architecture (warehousing for IBM and Olivetti) but, with Coromandel House, Zanuso competently mediated both scales. Creating Coromandel documents Zanuso's extraordinary responses to landscape and his sensational interiors, but also offers a glimpse into the design process and amount of collaboration it involves. For fans of Coromandel it provides a single reference source; for architects, designers, historians, photographers and anyone interested in design and architecture it provides an inspirational story behind the process of building a legacy.

Paperback. Condición: New. In the autumn of 2017 Verda Alexander, one of the founders of the San Francisco design firm Studio O+A, brought a team of designers together for a project outside the company's comfort zone. After 27 years of creating groundbreaking workplace environments for high-profile corporations, Verda felt the c…all of a different kind of design. Her idea: Buy a food truck, turn it into a mobile design studio and take it on the road to partner with communities on small, ad hoc projects. Her goal: to bring the benefits of good design to places that hadn't experienced it and to bring back new perspectives on what "good design" might be. This book is the story of how that all worked out. Beginning with the first kick-off meeting and continuing through the life of the project, Food for Thought Truck chronicles the conceptual highs and real-world lows of turning an idea into a reality. Told in the lively, often comic vernacular of O+A's SOMA office, this story of how design actually happens captures the personalities and passions of Verda's team and the day-to-day practicalities of getting a project on its feet. The book is lavishly illustrated with sketches and schematics of the truck as it evolves and with documentary photography of its designers in action. When the truck takes to the road in San Francisco, San Jose, Bakersfield and Los Angeles, what started as one innovator's dream becomes an adventure shared by many. Ultimately Food for Thought Truck is a portrait of how the craft of design is practiced and of the impact it can have on people's lives. With the world in turmoil politically, economically, environmentally, design has acquired a moral dimension that wasn't apparent when O+A first opened its doors. Food for Thought Truck follows committed young designers confronting that dimension even as they struggle to get the job done - the project designed, the materials ordered, the construction scheduled, the truck gassed up and ready to go.

Paperback. Condición: New. Essence of Place: Design for the Tropics provides an insightful look into the works of Malaysia-based practice led by Eleena Jamil. Featuring fifteen projects spanning from 2010-2020, the book explores ways in which physical data such as geography, people, and materials and aspects of memory relating…to tradition, culture, and history have shaped her work and contextual approach to architecture. The influences of an architectural education in the UK are explored, as well as design thinking shaped by an understanding of the past as present within the context of Malaysia and Southeast Asia. The book is divided into six sections to describe the motivating ideas and different aspects of her practice's concern. Each section begins with a short essay written by Eleena to set the background for built case study projects. The essays are titled Grounding Architecture, About Making, Bamboo, Typology and Environment, the Outdoor Room and Connective Possibilities. The first essay, Grounding Architecture, argues for a connection to specificities of place as an alternative to universal architecture solutions where places slowly ceased to be distinct and became anonymous nonentities. About Making brings forth the importance of vernacular innovation and how cultural continuity and environmental awareness embodied in the form of making that is rooted in local methods can offer valuable insights into reimagining modern building practices. This approach is easier to apply to small-scale and self-initiated projects, especially ones that utilise natural materials such as timber and bamboo. The latter is the focus of the third essay, which delves into the use of its natural culms as modern building material. The fourth essay, Typology and Environment, explores the "inherent order of place" that can manifest itself in typologies. It argues that learning from past building types with features driven by natural and passive environmental systems can lead to a distinctive architectural language for the tropics. Also found in them are design qualities such as "outdoor rooms" or courtyards and indeterminacy in spatial planning. How these qualities can allow connections to be made to place is explored in the remaining sections of the book.Supporting the essays above are case study projects such as the Bamboo Playhouse, Desa Mahkota School and Sepang House, completed by Eleena's practice. Each project is presented with a short description accompanied by coloured photographs, sketches and drawings.

Hardback. Condición: New. Existing histories of modern architecture typically give their highest praise to private houses and their most severe condemnation to architect-authored urban plans, often neglecting the built works that are no smaller than a single building and possibly as large as an urban block, the middle or institu…tional scale, where culturally significant urban transformation actually takes place.Urban architecture is a timely topic as today cities worldwide are suffering accelerated urbanisation, which is often dehumanising and destructive, especially to the unbuilt environment, airs, waters and soils. The middle or institutional scale is shown to activate and actualise latent potentials for cultural experience and environmental intelligence, allowing the city to surprise itself and delight in its discoveries.In Projecting Urbanity, David Leatherbarrow, via author-architect texts by his former doctorate students, lays out the basis for a revision of modern architecture's contribution to cities and their culture. Presenting a series of texts featuring buildings or their parts of various scales - from the construction detail, to the room or garden, to ensembles within a neighborhood - the contributors introduce concepts for contemporary and future urban architecture, together with richly indicative examples from the past several decades.While architecture cannot "solve" today's urban problems, it certainly has a role to play in their productive transformation, articulating opportunities for life and culture that are more humane, less wasteful, and more beautiful.

Paperback. Condición: New. The Modern House is, in part, the narrative of how some of the most important examples of modern houses were commissioned and built in the UK. The book presents an inspiring selection of properties from innovative estate agents, The Modern House, and is split into four sections: town houses, conversion…s, country houses and apartments.Iconic Modernist buildings such as Wells Coates' Isokon Building (1934) and Berthold Lubetkin's Highpoint (1935) are included, as well as more recent examples by renowned architects including Marcel Breuer, 6a Architects, John Pawson, Richard and Su Rogers, Adjaye Associates and Carl Turner, whose low energy Slip House, a cantilevered sculptural abode of translucent glass, steel and concrete was awarded the RIBA Manser Medal for the best house in the UK in 2013.As well as outlining an historical outline for each house, the book touches on the characteristics which make each of these buildings uniquely modern and such perfect spaces for living-functionalism, truth to materials, flowing space and natural light.Featuring an extended introductory essay by acclaimed architectural journalist Jonathan Bell, former architecture editor for Wallpaper* and contributing editor at Blueprint, this book is a second edition, following the success of the first edition published in 2015.

Hardback. Condición: New. Through an in-depth exploration of nine projects ranging from retail to residential design, Standard Architecture Design highlights the practice of Los Angeles-based interdisciplinary studio Standard while it deconstructs traditional conceptions of interior and exterior space.By honing in on the malleab…ility of the storefront and its transformative role across varying sectors of architecture and design, Standard presents an alternative understanding of the facade. The public/private divide becomes permeable, and cultural narratives can be written from the inside out-flowing from fundamental elements like space and light to the contextual meaning of place. In Standard's world, transitional spaces such as doors, windows and openings come to define and bring meaning to our collective experience of place.From nooks like Hidden House and Kayne Griffin Corcoran that escape their immediate surroundings to the hybrid retail-gallery venues such as the Helmut Lang Concept Store and Maxfield Gallery in West Hollywood, Standard unveils the studio's unique philosophy in action.Across all of Standard's work is the feeling of osmosis through space and time: where old sites bleed into new structures, and apparently contrasting elements of urban life are artfully exposed to one other, re-producing themselves in the process. The result is a sophisticated rendering of place that is at once as intimate as it is accessible, and as nuanced as it is organic.

Paperback. Condición: New. The Good Gardener? Nature, Humanity, and the Garden illuminates both the foundations and after-effects of humanity's deep-rooted impulse to manipulate the natural environment and create garden spaces of diverse kinds. Gardens range from subsistence plots to sites of philosophical speculation, refuge, a…nd self-expression. Gardens may serve as projections of personal or national identity. They may result from individual or collective enterprises. They may shape the fabric of the dwelling house or city. They may be real or imagined, literary constructs or visions of paradise rendered in paint. Some result from a delicate negotiation between creator and medium. Others, in turn, readily reveal the underlying paradox of every garden's creation: the garden, so often viewed as a kinder, gentler, 'second nature,' results from violence done to what was once wilderness. Designed as a companion volume to Earth Perfect? Nature, Utopia, and the Garden, this richly illustrated collection of provocative essays is edited by Annette Giesecke, Professor of Classics at the University of Delaware, and Naomi Jacobs, Professor of English at the University of Maine. Contributors to this wide-ranging volume include photographer Margaret Morton, landscape ethicist Rick Darke, philosopher David Cooper, environmental journalist Emma Marris, and food historian William Rubel.

Hardback. Condición: New. Hollaway is an architectural and interior design practice that embraces the past, the present, and the future; one that places people and feeling at the core of its philosophy of architecture. It is only appropriate, then, that this book reflects on where the practice has evolved from, where it finds it…self today, and what the challenges of tomorrow demand of it, told in the words of those who make it what it was, is and will become.The RIBA award-winning practice has built its reputation working on a wide array of projects, including a cutting-edge skate park, the world's first heritage theme park, a bespoke artist's studio in an open field, and a high-end seafood restaurant. They were also one of the first to install a tubular steel slide in an office redesign, and the chosen architects for the replanning of an entire town. The breadth of these projects may be wide, but each one brings the perfect balance of playfulness and sincerity, with a firm focus on placemaking, sustainability and the experience of the individuals who will use the space. From Now On documents Hollaway's inspirational buildings, brought alive by glowing client testimonies. A must for modern architecture lovers or anyone who is interested in seeing creative ideas made possible.

Hardback. Condición: New. Consolidation: Ideas, Process and Spatial Storytelling features a selection of Branch Studio Architects' buildings and projects from a ten-year period (2012-22). This new book traces the process of ideas and project-making, and how these translate through materiality, space and light to tell stories abo…ut place, time, people and context.The consolidation of ideas is key to the way Branch Studio Architects defines and formalises its architecture. Consolidation: Ideas, Process and Spatial Storytelling features a selection of buildings and projects from a ten-year period (2012-22) that celebrates the Australian architectural practice's rigorous, award-winning and design-intensive work.Founded in 2012 by Brad Wray and Nicholas Russo, Branch Studio Architects has gone from strength to strength, producing compelling and heavily design-driven architecture ranging from residential projects to small- and large-scale educational projects. Through the exploration of 11 built, in-progress and unbuilt works, from Pavilion Between Trees to the multi-award-winning Piazza Dell'Ufficio to the highly anticipated Arts and Technology Centre in Melbourne, the book traces the process of ideas and project-making, and how these translate through materiality, space and light to tell stories about place, time, people and context.Woven throughout the book are conversations between Wray, Russo and other creative thinkers. These include the celebrated Melbourne architect Michael White; renowned architectural photographer Peter Clarke - who provides a rich insight into the process of photographically documenting the studio's works; and an essay on the studio's projects and connection to both Australian and international modernism by Melbourne architectural historian Dr Conrad Hamann.

Hardback. Condición: New. Based in Dublin, Cork and London, O'Donnell + Tuomey Architects are revered for their work with urban design, public and private housing, and key educational and cultural buildings in Ireland, the Netherlands and the UK. In London they are best known for two major projects: the Photographers' Gallery an…d the London School of Economics Saw Swee Hock Student Centre. Sheila O'Donnell and John Tuomey, who both taught at University College Dublin and lecture internationally, constantly look at the way in which different geographical, social and political influences have shaped their iconic works and approach to architecture generally. This book, which is a second edition following the success of the first edition published in 2014, is divided into eight sections, each dealing with a different aspect of the practice's concerns: Studio, Courtyards, The World Outside, London Times, Subtraction and Addition, Venice Excursions, Building Ground and Cat's Cradles. Somewhere between a monograph and a memoir, a studio portfolio and a personal scrapbook, this book describes some of the motivating ideas behind the architects' iconic designs. Nine short essays, alternately written by Sheila O'Donnell and John Tuomey, set the theoretical background for thirteen projects carried out between 1999-2014. Illustrations range from early stage concept sketches to specific photography that has been especially commissioned for the book, to evocatively capture the essence of O'Donnell and Tuomey's buildings.
