TU206/XM644

Norman Foster is a globally recognized figure in architecture. His practice has created projects around the world, many of which have profoundly transformed the cities and landscapes in which they reside. This new monograph, published in partnership with the Centre Pompidou, presents more than 80 of Foster's key projects, including Creek Vean (1966), an early house in Cornwall, and the world's first terminal for space travel, Spaceport America (2014), built in the desert landscape of New Mexico. Drawings, sketches, photographs and insightful text explore projects that include furniture, houses, schools, museums, headquarters, skyscrapers, urban masterplans, vehicles, high-speed rail stations and airports. The book also features an essay by Frédéric Migayrou, curator of the major Centre Pompidou exhibition on Foster; a biography by celebrated architectural critic, Philip Jodidio; and an extensive interview with Foster himself. Foster has also contributed an anthology of six analytical texts, written across the broad span of his career.

《Atlas - Tadao Ando 》

图片

TU206/XS444

In 2012, Philippe Séclier visited Tadao Ando's iconic Church of the Light, and was immediately compelled to journey around the world to further study the architect's buildings. This unique presentation of Ando's work is the result of what turned into a nine-year project to photograph 130 buildings. Walking around each structure, trying to find the proper framing, helped Séclier understand Ando's genius for siting and composition. Loosely organized by chronology, each building is represented in numerous black and white images, arranged like a mosaic on the page. These fragmented views correspond to Ando's own philosophy of the logic of structure and geometry. This atlas embraces not only the geographic but also thematic range of Ando's oeuvre--from transit stations in Tokyo and Kobe to art museums in Fort Worth, Texas and Provence, France; from an artists' retreat on the Mexican coast to the now-demolished Piccadilly Gardens in Manchester, England; from a theater in Milan, Italy, to an upscale restaurant in New York City. Séclier's photographs of Ando's numerous religious structures brilliantly illustrate his use of light and shadow to evoke spiritual depth and timelessness while his short texts offer concise observations of each building. A helpful appendix pinpoints the geographic diversity and range of Ando's oeuvre.

TU986.5/XJ27

The acclaimed exploration of the iconic 'park in the sky' in New York that reshaped global perceptions of urban space - back in print. Since opening to the public in 2009, the High Line has rapidly become one of New York City's most popular and beloved attractions. Phaidon's bestselling The High Line was the first book to document the creative process behind this remarkable architectural achievement comprehensively from concept to completion. Seven chapters offer a multidimensional perspective from the minds behind the iconic structure. Now back in print, and featuring over 1,000 images, including drawings and plans, this visual masterpiece captures the High Line's very essence.

《UNStudio Transform》

TU206/XB512

In these rapidly changing times, we are increasingly embracing change and innovation; we deviate, modify, shift and pivot to challenge long-accepted norms. Transformation is everywhere, at all times. Transformation is also the central topic in the architectural profession and the built environment. It can be evidenced in concepts and ideas, in awareness, appearance, form, character, nature or culture.0This year, the Zumtobel Group commissioned the international architecture practice UNStudio to create their annual report for 2021/2022, adding to the Austrian lighting company?s unique oeuvre of yearly designed art books. As a collaboration with graphic design duo Bloemendaal & Dekkers, this year?s publication presents a design reflection on the theme of transformation. Using illustrations drawn from the work of UNStudio over the past thirty years, the book presents a visual investigation into the creative process, and demonstrates how ideas and concepts are developed by the practice into physical form. Through a similar thought process, the book itself is designed to undergo its own metamorphosis.

《Grafton Architects》

TU206/XM112

A timely overview of the pioneering work of the acclaimed Irish architectural practice. Dublin-based Grafton Architects (founded by Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara in 1978) has built up an impressive body of work over its 40-year history, ranging from houses in Ireland to public buildings in Italy, France, the UK, and Peru. In this long-overdue study, respected architectural writer and critic Robert McCarter presents 60 of Grafton's built and unbuilt projects and brings to light their principled and ethical approach, which is committed to making a profound difference to the lives of their buildings' users.

《Adolf Loos : Works and Projects》

图片

TU206/XB665

In this definitive monograph, a true labor of love, architect Ralf Bock seeks to reveal the sensuality of Loos' interior designs, focusing on his sincere belief in the evolution of tradition. The book explores 30 existing projects from Loos' oeuvre, documented in 160 full-color images by the celebrated French photographer Phillippe Ruault. Along with materials from the Loos archive at the Albertina Museum Vienna, these photographs and Bock's commentary provide a new interpretation of Loos' work and encourage the reintroduction of his ideology into the contemporary architectural conversation. Profiles of Loos' original clients and interviews with people who currently inhabit his designs round out this unique publication.

《David Adjaye – Works: Houses, Pavilions, Installations, Buildings, 1995–2007》

图片

TU206/XA235

David Adjaye, the son of a Tanzanian diplomat, spent his childhood moving between international cities before settling in London, where he was educated. Fresh out of the Royal Academy of Art, his early commissions reflected an influential generation of artists at the turn of the millennium with whom he shared a range of sensibilities. His artistic sensitivity, deft use of space and inexpensive, unexpected materials resulted in a number of iconic projects. With the hindsight of almost twenty years of practice and a raft of high-profile projects around the world - perhaps best symbolized by his National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. - the significance of Adjaye's earlier projects is clear. Never shying away from a challenge, Adjaye used his first projects as testbeds for what would become his unique, acclaimed and highly sought after brand of 'critical regionalism'. This monograph presents the first projects of Adjaye's corpus, many little documented. From London's West End to Brooklyn, clever urban interventions and pavilions to private houses for artists and public buildings for the many. These early projects, brought together and presented with new analyses and recently uncovered archival material, testify to the originality of an architect at the height of his talents who is changing the face of our built world.

《The Miralles Projection》

TU206/XF363.2

This book explains both the origin and evolution of Miralles' system of representation, from his time as a student at the Barcelona School of Architecture to the latest projects he designed with Benedetta Tagliabue, including the heroic period with Carme Pinos. With previously unpublished drawings from the architect, it demonstrates on a fundamental level how the evolution of representation runs parallel to that of architecture, thus illustrating its indissolubility and mutual interdependence.0It is impossible to dissociate the evolution of the architecture of Enric Miralles from the development of his own system of representation. Beginning from a position inherited from his training at the Barcelona School of Architecture and his practice at the office of Viaplana-Pinon, where he acquired a liking for precision in drafting and a graphic style based exclusively on lines of the same thickness, Miralles soon developed a method defined by a customised use of orthographic projections, connected to a fragmented conception of the architectural plan and space itself.
