Artifice london (41 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. 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. AUTHOR: 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. Colour illustrations Buildings of London is a bright, fun way to tour the capital through the eyes of an architect. Taking in the well-known with the less familiar, architect of 30 years Roger FitzGerald leads the reader on a journey around the city through his evocative paintings, combining his keen eye for detail and construction with a fascination for discovery.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The modern House reflects upon the complicated relationship architecture has with the terms Modernist, Modernism and Modern specifically in relation to the potent concept of the home, reflecting in part the narrative of how some of the most important examples of Modern houses were commissioned and built in the UK.These special examples of British Modernism include such progressive experiments on communal urban living as Londons Isokon Building, completed in 1934 by eminent architect Wells Coates, and Berthold Lubetkins Highpoint, which is today considered one of the most prominent examples of the early International Style. Compared with these urban enormities are private houses, such as the Laslett House in Cambridge, 1958, by the architect Trevor Dannatt, or the Winter House, designed by John Winter as his own residence.Included are an extended introductory essay by acclaimed architectural journalist Jonathan Bell, former architecture editor for Wallpaper* and contributing editor at Blueprint, and projects such as those designed by renowned architect Carl Turner, responsible for the low energy Slip House, a cantilevered sculptural abode of translucent glass, steel and concrete.With images of yet to be seen interiors and restorations, The Modern House illuminates the convergent characteristics of functionalism, truth to materials, flowing space and natural light within the Modern home as a space for living. 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, conversions, country houses and apartments.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. 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 and 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.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Founding Myths of Architecture brings together and discusses the work of some of the most influential and intriguing figures in the history of architecture. By returning to the authentic roots from which modern architectural thought has sprung, it explores the significance of the discipline in relation to the evolution of mankind. The contributors, international leading theorists from a variety of disciplines, provide fascinating texts that contribute to the broad discussion on architecture and its relationship with science, nature, art and society. Kari Jormakka, Fabio Barry, Pedro Azara, Caspar Pearson and Henry Dietrich Fernndez 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 editions, 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. This book brings together and discusses the work of some of the most influential and intriguing figures in the history of architecture.

"Legendary architect, historian, and critic Colin Rowe taught Architecture and Urban Design at Liverpool University, the University of Texas at Austin, Cambridge University, and for another 30 years at Cornell. From the late 1940s through to the early 1960s he wrote a uniquely perceptive series of articles on architecture that remains seminal to the discipline today. His books include The Mathematics of the Ideal Villa and Other Essays, The Architecture of Good Intentions, the volume As I Was Saying, and most notably, Collage City, 1978, written with Fred Koetter. The recipient of the profession's highest honors, he was awarded the Topaz Medallion for Excellence in Architectural Education in 1985 and the Gold Medal of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1995. "Rowe was an inveterate letter writer. From his student days at Liverpool in the early 1940s until his death in Washington in 1999, he wrote innumerable letters to his parents, renowned architects and scholars, friends, colleagues and former students on both sides of the Atlantic; and most consistently and intimately to his brother, David, and sister-in-law, Dorothy, in England. Informal and elegant ruminations, they illuminate moments in Rowe's migratory life, addressing a wide range of subjects from books, furniture, landscapes, politics, history, and education, to architecture and the urban condition and a host of other engaging topics. Rich with wit and an astonishing array of scholarship, each is written in the incomparable style for which Rowe has long been famous, making evident his love affair with words and revealing a man of great humor, warmth, and charm"--the publisher.…
