Bauhaus: Weimar, Dessau, Berlin, Chicago
by
Hans Wingler (Author)
/
The MIT Press (Editor)
Bauhaus has established itself with designers and architects as a standard work and the most comprehensive collection of documents and pictoral material ever published on this famous school of design.
Documents in Bauhaus are taken from a wide array of sources--public manifestos, private letters, internal memoranda, jotted-down conversations, minutes of board and faculty meetigs, sketches and schemata, excerpts from speeches and books, newspaper and magazine articles, Nazi Polemics, official German government documents, court proceedings, budgets, and curricula.
The illustrations include architectural plans and realizations, craft and industrial model designs (furniture, ceramics, metalwork, textiles, stained glass, typography, wallpaper), sculpture, paintings, drawings, etchings, woodcuts, posters, programs, advertising brochures, stage settings, and formal portraits of such Bauhaus Masters as Walter Gropius, Lyonel Feininger, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Josef Albers, Hebert Bayer, Marcel Breuer, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.

The MIT Press (Editor)
One of the most important books on the modern movement in architecture, The New Architecture and the Bauhaus poses some of the fundamental problems presented by the relations of art and industry and considers their possible, practical solution. Gropius traces the rise of the New Architecture and the work of the now famous Bauhaus and, with splendid clarity, calls for a new artist and architect educated to new materials and techniques and directly confronting the requirements of the age.

Archilab's Futurehouse: Radical Experiments in Living Space
by
France) Archilab Conference (2001 Orleans (Author)
/
Beatrice Simonot (Author)
/
Marie-Ange Brayer (Author)
/
Thames & Hudson (Editor)
Digital technology and the Internet may have changed our lifestyles over the last decade, but so far they have had very little impact on our dwellings. Advanced residential design has tended to concentrate on "embedded technologies"?using technology for existing needs?rather than on the more fundamental issues of how we make use of domestic environments in an age when more of us work at home, travel extensively, and have access to huge amounts of information, goods, and services. Looking to the most innovative talents from around the world, ArchiLab's FutureHouse presents ninety private community housing projects that challenge accepted norms and offer ingenious solutions to meet the widely changing needs and desires of today's society. Against the background of globalization and urbanization, these designers confront issues such as how to individualize collective housing, radically reimagining how we could live. Essays by international critics such as Frédéric Migayrou (France), Bart Lootsma (Netherlands), Andreas Ruby (Germany), Manuel Gausa (Spain), Kyong Park (USA), and Christian Girard (France) complement the work of avant-garde and experimental architects and address a rich spectrum of local and international issues and conditions. 600 color illustrations and photographs.

Architecture Now
by
Philip Jodidio (Author)
/
Taschen (Editor)
More than ever before, architecture at the beginning of the 21st century is changing and evolving at lightning speed. Appropriated, chewed up, mulled over, digested, contemplated, and contorted - gathering up along the way fashion, ecology, politics, and art - architectural concepts become veritable things unto themselves in the present tense. As astoundingly diverse as contemporary architecture is, most importantly it is a reflection of what's happening right now all over the world, in people's minds and in the global collective consciousness. The many faces of world architecture today make for a mind-expanding book. Here you'll find the most recent work of over 60 architects and firms, including familiar names such as O. Gehry, Meier, Ando, Foster, and Starck, as well as a host of newcomers sure to be the architecture-celebrities of future generations. Highlights include Jakob & MacFarlane's morphological Restaurant at the Centre Georges Pompidou, Diller & Scofidio's "Blur Building" proposal for the International Expo 2001 in Switzerland (an ovular structure suspended over a lake, encapsulated by a fine mist of water, creating the look of a cloud hovering over the lake), and Herzog & de Meuron's remarkable Tate Modern. Proving that contemporary architecture is not limited to physical building design, New York firm Asymptote's Guggenheim Virtual Museum is also included, a place where visitors can take a cyber-stroll through rooms that are designed to be "compelling spatial environments." Presented alphabetically by architect or firm, Architecture Now! can be used like a reference guide, with extensive photographs and illustrations, biographical and contact information for designers, and a careful selection of today's most influential architects.
