Архитектура

Widely thought to be the greatest American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) was a true pioneer, both artistically and technically. At a time when reinforced concrete and steel were considered industrial building materials, Wright boldly made use of them to build private homes. His prairie house concept - that of a low, sprawling home based upon a simple L or T figure - was the driving force behind some of his most famous houses and became a model for rural architecture across America. Wright`s designs for office and public buildings were equally groundbreaking and unique. From Fallingwater to New York`s Guggenheim Museum, his works are among the most famous in the history of architecture.

Тема исторического города и новой архитектуры стала главной для XVI Московского международного фестиваля «Зодчество-2008», прошедшего в Манеже в октябре 2008 года. Ее актуальность исторически почти вечна. Развитие искусства состоит в поиске новых средств выразительности языка и пластики форм, что и приводит к смене стилей, которые фиксирует история искусств, в том числе и история архитектуры. Почему же сегодня появление новых объектов в исторической среде вызывает обширную общественную полемику и, как правило, негативную оценку? Почему новое строительство расценивается как агрессивное вторжение в гармоничную городскую среду, хотя она тоже сложилась из стилистически разных компонентов? На эти и многие другие вопросы дают ответ проекты лауреатов международного фестиваля «Зодчество-2008».

Традиционный, второй том официальных каталогов фестиваля «Зодчество» за 2009 год содержит полную информацию о победителях конкурсных программ ведущего российского архитектурного форума. Каталог открывает вступительная статья председателя большого жюри фестиваля, известного российского архитектора, первого вице-президента Союза архитекторов России Сергея Киселева. Иллюстративная часть каталога представляет проект обладателя премии «Хрустальный Дедал», призеров и дипломантов смотров-конкурсов «Архитектурные произведения. Постройки», «Архитектурные произведения. Проекты», «Архитектурные коллективы, Проектные институты», «Архитектурные коллективы. Мастерские», «Архитектура городов и регионов России. Города», «Архитектура городов и регионов России. Регионы», «Творчество молодых архитекторов».

Фестивали «Зодчество», организуемые Союзом архитекторов России, – события национального масштаба, которые открывают уникальную возможность получить представление о современном состоянии архитектуры и градостроительства в стране. Это единственная и самая крупная выставочная площадка, где можно одновременно увидеть результаты архитектурной и градостроительной деятельности многих городов и регионов России, творческих архитектурных коллективов, проектных институтов, мастерских и бюро, молодых архитекторов, студентов архитектурных вузов и факультетов, детских архитектурно-художественных коллективов. Кульминацией фестиваля ежегодно является вручение главного приза – национальной премии в области архитектуры «Хрустальный Дедал». Тема фестиваля «Зодчество-2009», предложенная куратором Юрием Аввакумовым – «Индекс устойчивости». Индекс устойчивости – это индикатор успеха и перспектив на будущее в нынешних условиях. Программа фестиваля «Зодчество-2009» предусматривает проведение восьми тематических конкурсов, выставок зарубежной архитектуры, современных строительных материалов и технологий, творческих дискуссий, круглых столов, семинаров, лекций российских и зарубежных архитекторов. Вся программа, а также данные всех участников фестиваля впервые в полном формате отражены на страницах обновленного каталога фестиваля.

During the last 10 years there has been a significant leap forward in the development of yacht interiors. A decisive factor here was the introduction of the computer in the production process, which has greatly shortened the design phase and allowed more freedom when simulating and visualizing models. As a result, new boat forms, as well as more aerodynamic sails, have emerged, which could be carefully designed and built. The creation of modern yacht interiors reflects current design trends. There is, for instance, a clear trend towards plain and minimalist interiors. Here the designer renounces unnecessary decorative elements and employs pale colours, like white, grey and beige, which make interiors seem larger. In addition to Asian décor elements, there are also very colourful interior designs, which are appealing for their playfulness, among other reasons. Modern yachts, then, do not take a back seat to living quarters on land when it comes to comfort and design, and it is not surprising that, besides famous yacht designers, creative personalities like Armani or Philipp Starck have discovered a love for designing yachts interiors.

The book features key architectural works in the form of luscious images and insightful descriptions. An index with contact information of the architects is also enclosed.

The Asian countries seek to dominate global markets not only in the area of science, technology and management, but also in the area of design, which is playing an increasingly crucial role in their strategic economic plans. One of their clear trends is the conscious use of traditional themes in combination with contemporary styles. Whether kimonos or packiging, Shinto shrines or computer designs, the viewer is stimulated by a wealth of inspiring visual stimuli. This book presents an overview of the current trends of the young Asian - Pacific design scene. Though the featured works, ideas and products vary very much from each other, they exemplify one thing for sure: The initiated dialogue between cultures and across national borders is increasingly gaining in importance.

European architecture is distinguished by a variety of forms and styles. This first volume of a new series about young architects provides insight and an overview of the arcitectural scene in Europe, and with the aid of portraits and short explanatory texts, presents the featured agencies and architects and their websites. An index with contact information of the architects is enclosed.

The Complete Zaha Hadid

Zaha Hadid, Complete Works 1979–2009 - xl

Zaha Hadid. Complete Works 1979–Today, 2020 Edition

Zaha Hadid (*1950 in Baghdad), recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, designed and curated a groundbreaking exhibition at Zurich’s Galerie Gmurzynska, comparing works of the Russian avant-garde with those of Zaha Hadid Architects. A fierce explosion of Russian works tore through the contemporary works by the architect in a dynamic black and white design. Created specifically for the venue, the projection of a two-dimensional drawing onto a three-dimensional space transformed the gallery into a spatial painting in which the threshold of the picture plane expanded and could be entered. Zaha Hadid translated the warped and weightless space of Russian avant-garde painting and sculpture by Kazimir Malevich, El Lissitzky, and Alexander Rodchenko into her very own architectural language.

4 volumes presented in a 3-D Red Lucite slipcase: Major and Recent Works, Projects Documentation, Texts and References, Process: Sketches & Drawings

Zaha Hadid is the most famous woman architect in the world and the first to win the Pritzker Prize. She has achieved international recognition for her visionary images and design, and is now one of the profession’s most sought-after figures. Zaha Hadid’s moment has arrived.

A true landmark in architecture and design book publishing, this sensationally packaged work offers the definitive overview of the creative trajectory of architecture’s most formidable talent.

Zaha Hadid: The Complete Works is one of the most exciting and complex architectural monographs ever produced. This brilliantly conceived and designed publication comprises four volumes of differing sizes that offer multiple perspectives on more than a hundred projects and over twenty years at the vanguard of architecture.

• Major and Recent Projects is a large-scale presentation of Hadid’s recently built work and famed paintings
• Projects Documentation is the only book to offer detailed descriptions and illustrations of Hadid's complete buildings and projects.
• Models and Sketches is a selection of the architect’s groundbreaking exploration in perspective
• Essays and References features essays by international critics, an appreciation by maverick Peter Cook and an exhaustive reference section, which includes a bibliography and project data.

Building the Future Now. The iconic work of a singular architect

Zaha Hadid is a wildly controversial architect, who for many years built almost nothing, despite her designs winning prizes and critical acclaim. Some even said her work was unbuildable. Yet over the past decade she has completed numerous structures including the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati (which the New York Times called ''the most important new building in America since the Cold War''), the Phaeno Science Center in Wolfsburg, Germany, and the Central Building of the new BMW Assembly Plant in Leipzig. Today, Hadid is firmly established among the élite of world architecture, her audacious and futuristic designs having catapulted her to international fame.

Born in Baghdad and educated in London, where her practice is based, Hadid has designed radical architecture for over 30 years and is now the subject of this massive TASCHEN monograph. Covering her complete works to date, and all of her recent work from Dubai to Guangzhou, this XL tome demonstrates the progression of Hadid’s career — including not only buildings but also furniture and interior designs — with in-depth texts, spectacular photos, and her own drawings. Also included is a special section with translucent vellum paper allowing multiple layers of designs to be viewed at once or separately.
