Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. His ideas turned the mathematical world on its head. He calculated the currents of liquids, the moment of inertia, developed the calculus of variations and the modern number theory. As scientist he should be placed on the same level as Newton and Einstein.Engineers all over the world use hi…s formulas every day whether it be for constructing the hull of the "Alinghi" or for calculating the vibrations of the "Viaduc de Millau", the world's highest motorway bridge.He was, however, a man who loved the peace and quiet of his home life not easy at the time of the foundation of St. Petersburg, when murdering czars was daily business; or in Berlin at the time of the Silesian wars; and particularly not in the midst of a crowd of children.The comic by Elena Pini (illustrations) and Alice and Andreas K. Heyne (text) follows the life of the genius from Basel, who, born 300 years ago, would set out to change the scientific world. This illustrated account of Euler's life and livings is embedded in the great political developments of his time, particularly in Austria, Prussia and Russia.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Lyrical meditations on life, work and hopes for the future from the beloved architect and polymath Buckminster Fuller. First published in 1976, issued in a new edition in 2008, and now back in print, And It Came to Pass - Not to Stay brings together a selection of Buckminster Fuller's (1895…1983) lyrical and philosophical best, including seven "essays" that address global crises and his predictions for the future - "to make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological offence or the disadvantage of anyone." These essays, comprising "How Little I Know," "Complexion 1976," "What I Am Trying to Do," "A Definition of Evolution," "'And It Came to Pass' (Not to Stay)," "Soft Revolution" and "Ethics," pursue the task of ushering in a new era for humanity by "always starting with the universe." Each of the texts is written in Fuller's "ventilated prose," an essayistic poem form that breaks up his thinking into lines and stanzas. Though best known as a designer and design theorist, Fuller investigated and challenged assumptions about structure, function, materials, technology, aesthetics, services, distribution, mobility, communication, collaboration, information, recycling, politics, property and social norms. These essays present the great range and depth of Fuller's thought while elegantly weaving the personal, the playful, the simple and the profound. AUTHOR: Fuller was born in Milton MA, taught at Harvard and MIT, and in the late 1950s was named World Fellow in Residence to a consortium of universities. SELLING POINTS: . R Buckminster Fuller (1895 1983) was an American architect, systems theorist, author, designer, inventor and futurist. Fuller published more than 30 books, coining or popularizing terms such as "Spaceship Earth", "Dymaxion" house/car, ephemeralisation, synergetic, and "tensegrity". He also developed numerous inventions, mainly architectural designs, and popularized the widely known geodesic dome. . Consisting of some of his most influential essays. Originally published in 1976, this is a reprint of Lars Muller's long sold-out and in-demand 2008 edition. Fuller's theories and writings are still core course-adopted texts in engineering, architecture, and sustainable design.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This book is dedicated to study the inverse problem of ordinary differential equations, that is it focuses in finding all ordinary differential equations that satisfy a given set of properties. The Nambu bracket is the central tool in developing this approach. The authors start characterizi…ng the ordinary differential equations in R^N which have a given set of partial integrals or first integrals. The results obtained are applied first to planar polynomial differential systems with a given set of such integrals, second to solve the 16th Hilbert problem restricted to generic algebraic limit cycles, third for solving the inverse problem for constrained Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanical systems, fourth for studying the integrability of a constrained rigid body. Finally the authors conclude with an analysis on nonholonomic mechanics, a generalization of the Hamiltonian principle, and the statement an solution of the inverse problem in vakonomic mechanics. This book is dedicated to study the inverse problem of ordinary differential equations, that is it focuses in finding all ordinary differential equations that satisfy a given set of properties.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Pioneering film posters from Poland to Cuba and beyond. In the history of graphic design, the film poster has repeatedly exemplified graphic innovation. The first constructivist posters by the Stenberg brothers challenged viewing habits in the late 1920s, as did the radical, succinct film a…dvertisements by JanTschichold.The Polish school of poster art, with exponents such as Henryk Tomaszewski and Roman Cieslewicz, produced iconic film posters in the postwar era, and Cuban designers, including Antonio Reboiro and Niko, followed suit after 1959. Simultaneously, in the former Czechoslovakia, the likes of Milan Grygar, Karel Vaca and Josef Vylet'al helped the film poster gain international recognition. In all three countries, the lack of economic pressure allowed such creative power to flourish. In Germany, film distributors such as Neue Film- kunst Walter Kirchner or Atlas-Film prompted a new aesthetic by commissioning Hans Hillmann or Dorothea Fischer-Nosbisch. The works presented in this publication illustrate an alternative to the Hollywood film poster with its canonical motifs and pompous spectacle.The unorthodox visual language of these other film posters largely dispenses with star portraits and film stills. Subtly poetic, and often ambiguous, films are interpreted individually, the visual material is creatively defamiliarized and the content consoli- dated into symbols. Up to this day, individual designers continue to celebrate the film poster as an autonomous artistic medium. SELLING POINTS: . Radical graphic artists that challenged Hollywood's motifs . A book for film buffs and design lovers alike 110 illustrations Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A multiauthored portrait of the Swiss open-air museum documenting centuries of historic homes and the enchanting details of vernacular architecture Founded in 1978, Ballenberg is a legendary Swiss open-air architectural museum that gathers more than 100 residential and agricultural building…s from the 14th to the 19th centuries, from almost all of the cantons of Switzerland, which have been transported to the museum from their original sites. Together these buildings show how architecture, furnishings and tools expressed the needs of everyday life in their design and execution. Traditional handicrafts such as basket-weaving, forging, braiding, spinning, weaving and carving are also kept alive in Ballenberg's on-site workshops. Edited by Rolf Fehlbaum, entrepreneur and long-time driving force behind Vitra, this beautiful publication is an invitation to discover and explore the world of things with fresh eyes. A Way of Life compiles photographs, observations and discoveries made at Ballenberg by the acclaimed designers Jasper Morrison and David Saik and the architect Tsuyoshi Tane, who all share a fascination with the simple, the practical and the functionally beautiful. In concise, elegant writing, Morrison, Saik and Tane comment on the design ingenuities in various features of the buildings. The book's superb photography celebrates the traces of wear and tear on door handles, benches, columns, brick tile floors and other architectural details that testify to a bygone ethos of enduring utility and economic common sense. A Way of Life serves as an encouragement to designers and consumers alike to resist trends and fads, and to critically evaluate the objects of everyday use in terms of utility and aesthetics. AUTHOR: Rolf Fehlbaum, born in Switzerland in 1941, studied social science and earned his PhD with a thesis on utopian socialism. Before becoming CEO and later chairman of Vitra, Fehlbaum was active in the production of art editions and documentary films and in architectural education. During his tenure at Vitra, he established relationships with many of the world's leading designers and architects and developed projects with Tadao Ando, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Nicholas Grimshaw, Alvaro Siza, Herzog & de Meuron and SANAA, all of whom designed buildings for the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein. An avid collector of twentieth-century furniture, Fehlbaum founded the Vitra Design Museum in 1989, which is now considered one of the foremost institutions in its field. 168 illustrations Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Hierarchies of the household: how Palladio composed his iconic villas for collective living. Visiting the villas built by Andrea Palladio (15081580), one inevitably asks oneself how people lived there in the sixteenth century. Palladio articulated the villas as "small towns" (piccole citta)… that formed a unit with adjacent service buildings and farm fields. Within their walls lived a multitude of people of all ages, social backgrounds and various skills. They were the venue for significant moments of public life. In these houses, the principles of hygiene, privacy and comfort, which we consider essential today, did not apply; furniture as such did not exist. Living with Palladio in the Sixteenth Century investigates how Palladio's houses, their floors, rooms and measurements are designed to structure the life of such a heterogeneous family of people. It analyses their hierarchical structure with the owner (padrone) at the top and everyone involved in the everyday running of the household (famiglia minuta) at the bottom. This book fills a decisive gap in research literature on the famous Italian architect by looking at how Palladio prioritised the domestic functions of his private buildings. AUTHOR: Antonio Foscari is an architect and has been a professor of architecture at the University of Venice since 1971. In 1973, he restored the Villa Malcontenta, built for his ancestors by Andrea Palladio, and has concentrated his research on buildings by the great Renaissance architect since that date. 71 illustrations The author is an intimate connoisseur of Palladio's architecture and lives in one of his villas himselfA fresh view of Palladioas private buildings from the perspective of Renaissance aoefamiliesa Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Highlighting the diversity of our relationships with the beings that inhabit this planet together. This book, edited by French gardener, botanist and writer Gilles Clement (born 1943) and Coloco, a collective of landscape architects, artists, urban planners and botanists, showcases how we c…an live in harmony with nature and appreciate all its diversity, acting as gardeners and guardians. Adopting the point of view of the "planetary gardener" requires personal sensitivity, scientific rigor and practical experience. Beyond what nature can do for us, let's ask: What can we do for nature? Let's widen our focus, but above all, let's adopt a code of conduct and take immediate action on all fronts. The book features the work of gardeners who work on vast landscapes as well as very small gardens, and who are also involved in movements of resistance and activism. The final section of the book helps and inspires the reader to get started on their own part of the planetary garden. AUTHORS: Gilles Clement is a French botanist and the author of The Planetary Garden and Other Writings (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2015). Ruedi Baur is a professor at the School of Art and Design, Geneva, and the University of Strasbourg. Stefanie-Vera Baur Kockot is on faculty at the HEAD Geneve and the Institute for Critical Research and Sciences in Design, Paris. 512 illustrations Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Architecture Connecting: Memoryscapes, the second volume in this book series in collaboration the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, examines the pivotal role of human narratives in shaping the spaces of tomorrow. Focusing on the relationship between architecture and the disciplines of anthrop…ology, archaeology, and geology, the book presents the work of two studios whose practices engage deeply with the past through both precise interventions and broad investigative research. Showcasing work by DnA Architecture and Design (Beijing) and Atelier Tsuyoshi Tane Architects (Tokyo and Paris), the publication explores approaches rooted in the excavation of memory, narrative, and place-specific knowledge. Through their work, the two studios demonstrate how architecture can respond to contemporary needs by connecting past and future. DnA _Design and Architecture, founded by Xu Tiantian, has undertaken numerous projects including the Songzhuang Art Center and the Ordos Art Museum. In recent years, the practice has been extensively involved in rural revitalisation initiatives in Songyang and Zhejiang Province. Xu Tiantian's architectural acupuncture proposes a holistic approach to the social and economic regeneration of rural China and has been selected by UN-Habitat as an Inspiring Practice on Urban-Rural Linkages. ATTA Atelier Tsuyoshi Tane Architects is an international architecture atelier founded by Tsuyoshi Tane and based in Paris, with work spanning urban planning, architecture, and exhibition design across diverse geographic and cultural contexts. Key projects include the Estonian National Museum and the Hirosaki Museum of Contemporary Art. Central to ATTA's practice is the concept of Archaeology of the Future, which explores the memory, culture, and anthropology embedded in each site. 350 illustrations Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A classic of utopian literature, more urgent than ever: Buckminster Fuller's provocative blueprint for the future. Composed of lectures given by Buckminster Fuller throughout the world in the 1960s, Utopia or Oblivion presents the thesis that humanity, for the first time in its history, has… the opportunity to create a world where the needs of 100% of humanity are met. Fuller's grandson, in the introduction, refers to this selection as "hardcore Bucky," as these essays display Fuller's investigations into mathematics, geometry and how they intersect with the arts, music and world peace. In Fuller's words, "This is what man tends to call utopia. It's a fairly small word, but inadequate to describe the extraordinary new freedom of man in a new relationship to universe - the alternative of which is oblivion. First published in 1969 and then reprinted by Lars Mueller in 2008, Utopia or Oblivion also includes one of the earliest published discussions of Fuller's World Game, a revolutionary "game" that set as the goal for players, that the world "works" for 100% of humanity to nobody's disadvantage. It challenged players to overlook traditional world units such as nations, states and other political and economic divisions. AUTHOR: Fuller was born in Milton MA, taught at Harvard and MIT, and in the late 1950s he became a professor at Southern Illinois University (SIU), where he and his wife lived in a geodesic dome when he was in residence. In 1972 he was named World Fellow in Residence to a consortium of universities in Philadelphia, including the University of Pennsylvania. He retained his connection with both SIU and the University of Pennsylvania until his death. SELLING POINTS: . R Buckminster Fuller 1895 1983)[ was an American architect, systems theorist, author, designer, inventor and futurist. Fuller published more than 30 books, coining or popularising terms such as "Spaceship Earth", "Dymaxion" house/car, ephemeralisation, synergetic, and "tensegrity". He also developed numerous inventions, mainly architectural designs, and popularised the widely known geodesic dome. . Back in print!

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. An introduction to the avant-garde jazz posters of a leading Swiss graphic designer. One of Europe's leading poster designers, Niklaus Troxler (born 1947) has devoted himself primarily to jazz posters. In 1966, the Swiss designer organised the first jazz concert in his hometown of Willisau,… Lucerne. In 1975 he founded an annual jazz festival that has since brought both established and younger artists to the stage. Troxler designed countless posters for these festivals, as well as for the individual concerts. His early designs embraced an illustrative style from which he soon emancipated himself, eventually translating the character of experimental music and taking up its improvisational gestures. On the occasion of Troxler's 75th birthday, this publication presents a selection of his jazz posters, juxtaposing them with sociopolitical manifestos in poster form, mostly commissioned by himself, as well as public commissions, including those for the Olma agricultural fair, the Knie circus and the Geneva International Motor Show. SELLING POINTS: . Niklaus Troxler (born 1947) is a Swiss graphic designer and founder of the annual Willisau Jazz Festival in Switzerland. His designs center on jazz and capture the essence of music in a visual form . This is part of Lars Mueller's affordable Poster Collection series. It highlights Troxler's experimentations with type and his translations of experimental sound into cutting-edge poster design 109 illustrations Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. An intimate record of Kahn's musings on design, coupled with preparatory drawings of his monumental last project. Published in honor of the 50th anniversary of his death in March 1974, this volume is a facsimile of the notebook in which Louis Kahn drew and wrote during his last year of life…. Anchored by a magnificent set of preparatory drawings for his monument of Franklin Roosevelt in New York City, the notebook provides an intimate glimpse into private sketches of Kahn's final projects and his poetic reflections on thematic preoccupations, such as "Silence to Light," "Form and Design," "Society of Rooms" and "Desire to Express." Scholarly commentary and transliterations accompany all of his musings. Born in Estonia, Louis Kahn (1901-74) immigrated with his family to Philadelphia when he was four years old. Kahn received Beaux-Arts training at the University of Pennsylvania, under the French-educated Paul Philippe Cret, and then adopted his own idiosyncratic modernism, which would engender the heterogeneous "Philadelphia school." His architectural career did not take off until later in life; he attained his first major commission to design Yale University's Art Gallery in 1951. Upon its completion, Kahn received many international commissions, and he developed a signature style that was monumental, monolithic and transparent in its functionality. He was awarded the AIA Gold Medal and the RIBA Gold Medal. AUTHORS: Sue Ann Kahn is the daughter of Louis Kahn. Formerly a professor at Bennington College she is on faculty at Columbia University and the Mannes College of Music. Michael J. Lewis is on faculty at Williams College and is the architecture critic for the Wall Street Journal. SELLING POINTS: . Louis Kahn was one of the United States' greatest 20th-century architects, known for combining modernism with the weight and dignity of ancient monuments. . Published in honor of the 50th anniversary of Kahn's death (March 1974), this facsimile of the notebook in which Louis Kahn drew and wrote during his last year of life is anchored by a magnificent set of drawings illustrating the final design of the Monument to Franklin Roosevelt in New York City. The notebook provides an intimate glimpse into private sketches of Kahn's final projects and his poetic reflections on iconic themes. 59 illustrations Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

A charming but clear-eyed manifesto for a new era of we in the face of ecological collapse This small but substantial pocket-size book is an attempt to think through life and the universe in graphic-design terms. With concise drawings and brief texts, Japanese illustrator and designer Ruida… Si quietly shows humanity in the grip of a dawning realisation about its own collectivity. Facing the imminent collapse of the ecosystem, humanity must prepare to replace "I" with "we" - "we" defined in a utopian spirit as a subject transcending generations and individuals. At first glance, the visuals are as simple and clear as those of a children's picture book, but they are the product of Si's extensive and sophisticated knowledge of information, pattern and rhythm, and deliver her message with tremendous clarity and simplicity. Muji art director Kenya Hara, with whom Si studied, provides a foreword. SELLING POINTS: . Ruida Si is a young Japanese designer and illustrator, and a student of Kenya Hara's at Musashino Art University, Tokyo . Small and charming manifesto of b&w drawings positing a world in which collectivity is prioritised over individuality 160 illustrations Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This book is open access under a CC BY license. This book explores if and how Russian policies towards the Far East region of the country - and East Asia more broadly - have changed since the onset of the Ukraine crisis and Russia's annexation of Crimea. Following the 2014 annexation and th…e subsequent enactment of a sanctions regime against the country, the Kremlin has emphasized the eastern vector in its external relations. But to what extent has Russia's 'pivot to the East' intensified or changed in nature - domestically and internationally - since the onset of the current crisis in relations with the West? Rather than taking the declared 'pivot' as a fact and exploring the consequences of it, the contributors to this volume explore whether a pivot has indeed happened or if what we see today is the continuation of longer-duration trends, concerns and ambitions.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A masterpiece of modern Swiss architecture. The Doldertal, a small valley north of the city of Zurich, is best known in the history of architecture as the residence of Swiss architectural theorist Siegfried Giedion, whose book Space, Time and Architecture (1941) is considered a landmark in…the historiography of modernity. In 1936, Giedion commissions two houses designed by Alfred Roth and Marcel Breuer known as the Doldertal Apartment Houses which to this day remain among the most important built works of Neues Bauen in Switzerland. In 1959, the architect couple Flora Steiger-Crawford and Rudolf Steiger build their own homestead in the Doldertal in immediate proximity to the Doldertal Apartment Houses. Crawford and Steiger are important representatives of the Swiss avant-garde; moreover, Flora Crawford is the first woman to receive a diploma in architecture from ETH Zurich.That same year, Alfred Roth designed another building, the Fellowhouse, right next to House Steiger. House Steiger Doldertal Zurich 1959: Flora Steiger-Crawford and Rudolf Steiger offers a first in-depth look at the genesis of this masterpiece of modern Swiss architecture. Detailed analyses illustrate the central layout and outline the chronology, typology and construction of the building. Further contributions illuminate the relationship to local topography, the cultural context of the building, as well as important historical and contemporary architectural references, including House Steiger's famous neighbors. AUTHORS: Marianne Burkhalter has worked as an architect in Florence (Superstudio), New York and Los Angeles (Studio Works) and was an auditor at the University of Princeton. She has taught at SCI-ARC in Los Angeles and at EPFL Lausanne. Christian Sumi studied at the ETH Zurich. He has worked for the Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture (gta) and taught at Harvard University GSD, EPFL Lausanne and the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. 240 illustrations Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
