Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In recent years, structural stone in buildings has experienced a renaissance. This book offers a critical look at what the choice of stone is doing to contemporary architecture, in terms of both practice and form. Building in Stone Today takes observations of professionals at work - architects, engineers, quarriers, builders but also clients and their advisors - as its point of departure. The themes it addresses are stone's perceived novelty as a modern building material; the politics of its provenance; the logic of its supply; the expertise it calls upon; the labour involved in its extraction and assembly; its haptic qualities; and finally, its capacity to last. Assembling voices and commentaries from Spain, Switzerland and England, the book adopts a storytelling format. Drawing on several case studies, it places everyday situations in working with stone at its centre. Illustrated with analogue photographs by the author.Highlighting case studies from Switzerland, Spain, and EnglandStructural stone connects contemporary design with the depth of the natural landscape and vernacular traditionThe attractive volume explores the rich and complex practice of building with stone in Europe 360 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In den letzten Jahren hat der Einsatz von Naturstein in der Architektur eine Renaissance erlebt. Dieses Buch wirft einen kritischen Blick darauf, wie sich die Wahl des Steins auf die zeitgenössische Architektur auswirkt, sowohl in praktischer als auch in formaler Hinsicht. Building in Stone Today geht von Beobachtungen von Fachleuten bei der Arbeit aus - Architekten, Ingenieuren, Steinbrucharbeitern, Bauunternehmern, aber auch Bauherren und deren Beratern. Die behandelnden Themen sind: die als neu empfundene Eigenschaft von Stein als modernes Baumaterial, die Politik seiner Herkunft, die Logik seiner Versorgung, das erforderliche Fachwissen, die mit seiner Gewinnung und Montage verbundene Arbeit, seine haptischen Eigenschaften und schließlich seine Langlebigkeit. Das Buch versammelt Stimmen und Kommentare aus Spanien, der Schweiz und England in einem erzählerischen Stil. Anhand mehrerer Fallstudien stellt es alltägliche Situationen bei der Arbeit mit Stein in den Mittelpunkt. Illustriert mit analogen Fotografien der Autorin.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Nanda Vigo (1936-2020) played a central role in the 1960s avant-garde in Milan. Moving between art, design, and architecture, Vigo realized hundreds of apartment interiors, installations, environments, shops, and furniture designs. This book presents her architectural work through archival documents, unpublished drawings, historical and contemporary photographs, and essays. It offers a comprehensive exploration of her practice across scales and disciplines-from interiors to scenography, from architecture to furniture and cinema. What emerges is a world open to leaps of scale and time, resistant to fixed typologies and boundaries-where design meets ritual, objects dissolve, and space unfolds as an event. Drawing on first-hand accounts by artisans, colleagues, friends, and inhabitants, the publication reveals Vigo's contribution to interiors as living matter.Inspiring designs at the interface of architecture, interior design, art, and popular cultureFundamental scientific research on Nanda Vigo in the context of the Milan design sceneExtensive and partly unpublished archival material 448 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Nanda Vigo (1936-2020) ist eine zentrale Figur der Mailänder Avantgarde der 1960er Jahre. Sie arbeitete an den Schnittstellen von Kunst, Design und Architektur und realisierte dabei Hunderte von Wohnungen, Ladengeschäften, Möbeln, Installationen und Environments. Dieses Buch stellt ihr architektonisches Werk anhand von Zeichnungen, aktuellen Fotografien und Essays vor. Es bietet erstmals einen umfassenden Einblick in ihr Schaffen über Maßstäbe und Disziplinen hinweg - von Innenarchitektur bis zur Szenografie, von Architektur zu Möbeln und Film. Dabei entsteht das Bild einer offenen, Grenzen überwindenden Gestaltung, in der sich Design mit Ritualen verbindet, Objekte sich auflösen und Räume zu Ereignissen werden. Ergänzt durch persönliche Berichte ihrer Weggefährt:innen verdeutlicht das Buch Vigo's Einfluss auf das Interieur als lebendigem Raum.- Inspirierende Designs an der Schnittstelle von Architektur, Interior Design, Kunst und Popkultur- Wissenschaftliche Grundlagenforschung zu Nanda Vigo im Kontext der Mailänder Designszene- Umfangreiches, zum Teil bislang unveröffentlichtes Archivmaterial. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Delving into previously undisclosed archival sources, this monograph offers a meticulously researched portrayal of Italian Jewish mathematicians amidst the turmoil sparked by the 1938 Italian Racial Laws. Forced migration due to fascist anti-Semitism saw the exodus of numerous Jewish intellectuals. Highlighting the experiences of select academic mathematicians such as Guido Fubini, Gino Fano, Beniamino Segre, Alessandro Terracini, and others who fled Italy, this work casts a light on a diaspora that presents unique aspects thanks to pre-existing networks of international scientific solidarity. Despite challenges stemming from language, society, and institutions, their narratives reveal the profound human dimensions of adversity, choice, and camaraderie.Suitable for scholars and students of 20th-century history, as well as a wider audience intrigued by Italy's complex past, these pages offer invaluable insights into a dark chapter of the country's history. 768 pp. Englisch.…
