Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Paris guide is focused on describing the complexity of this European metropolis through its 20th and 21st century architecture. Following Haussmann's transformations, Paris, the most densely constructed city in Europe, expanded thanks to a flexibility based on a matrix able to absorb and integrate the directional courses of the architecture of the period. However, the complexity of the urban transformations and the changes in the Parisian architectural panorama did not erase the solid identity of the city's urban image. This book guides the reader through decades of Parisian architectural history beginning with the great names of the Modernist movement, Loos, Le Corbusier and Oscar Niemeyer. The second half of the 20th century is famous for the cultural vitality of the city reflected in the innovative architecture of the Centre George Pompidou designed by Piano and Rogers. The Pompidou Centre is both the symbol and result of the 1968 student revolution. The 1980s and 90s were defined by the forceful initiatives of President François Mitterrand, promoter and advocate of iconic projects like the Louvre Pyramid, the Musée d'Orsay renovation, the Parc de la Villette and the Arab World Institute. The present period is represented with several selected projects that have elevated the quality of certain areas on the outskirts of the urban agglomeration.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - - For the first time, this book illustrates the most important Maggie's Centres in UK with precise itineraries, showing the importance of their role and their architecture- The book's jacket opens out into a map marking the location of each centerThis guide traces the history of Maggie's cancer treatment centers and takes visitors to see how they have grown up in Britain and elsewhere to become a new type of institution; a paradigm for architecture. Founded by Maggie Keswick Jencks and Charles Jencks, both landscape designers and architects, each Maggie's Centre is a successful example of 'a hybrid of four buildings: it's a non-hospital institute, it's a kind of non-home house, a non-confessional religious refuge and a non-museum art gallery. However, it presents traces of all four typologies, used in a new way' (C.J., 2018). In addition to the peculiarity of being a hybrid building, the success of the Maggie's Centre project seems to be crucial to the fact that, in order to carry out their work, the architects are provided, from the outset, with the Architectural Brief, where they find described not so much the technical and functional requirements, but rather the emotional and sensory states that the new building, intended for cancer patients and their relatives and friends, will have to guarantee. The buildings are and should all be of great visual impact due to their sophisticated architectural design, but at the same time be familiar with their domestic and welcoming spaces and should be able to encourage patients to support each other.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Architectural Identities, Contemporary Italian Architecture series - Giulia De Appolonia.Forma Edizioni presents a new architecture series on contemporary architectural identitiesa publishing project aimed at highlighting the richness and diversity of contemporary Italian architecture. The series offers concise monographs on some of the most compelling Italian professionals, through a collection of bilingual volumes that showcase exemplary and thoughtful design work. Each book features essays, project sheets, and critical apparatuses, providing a concise yet structured overview of both research and professional practice. "Architectural Identities Contemporary Italian Architecture"reflects the intention to closely follow the evolution of Italian architecture, characterized by its deep-rooted connection to tradition and, at the same time, by its capacity to engage with a range of contemporary scenarios. This is fostered in part through international exchanges and dialogue, which generate renewed and relevant lines of inquiry. In this sense, the sections on Italian architecture offer distinct perspectivesoften partialrooted in specific professional experiences, whether tied to a particular period of activity or focused on a specific theme. They are, in a way, progressive sections: technical representations used in road design, applied where a significant variation in linear development occurs.Giulia De Appolonia's work is frequently praised by critics for expressing "a Renaissance sense of volume," a testament to her ability to craft spaces that balance clarity, mass, and light with intellectual and material precision. De Appolonia's professional path has been shaped by an early and formative collaboration with João Luís Carrilho da Graça, a master of the Portuguese architectural school, in Lisbon. This experience laid the foundation for a design approach rooted in rigor, sensitivity to context, and an acute awareness of materiality. Upon returning to Italy, she established her own independent practice, dedicating herself primarily to public architecture on a significant scalemuseums, libraries, schools, and sports facilitieswhile also engaging deeply with the restoration and adaptive reuse of protected monumental heritage. Her built works stand out for their elegant compositional restraint and the dialog they establish with both landscape and urban environment. Notable among them is the Viva Ciência Center in Bragança, Portugal, a science museum awarded first prize through an international competition and praised for its synthesis of innovation and environmental responsibility. Equally emblematic is the Sports Hall of Olgiate Olona near Milan, where her attention to structural clarity and material contrast creates a space that is both functional and emotionally resonant. This monograph traces De Appolonia's evolving vision across two decades of practice, offering insight into a body of work that continues to redefine the role of public architecture in fostering civic identity, spatial quality, and sustainability.…

They are, in a way, progressive sections: technical representations used in road design, applied where a significant variation in linear development occurs.Among the leading architectural firms in Milan and across Italy, Piuarch has built a reputation for designing spaces that are both contextually grounded and environmentally conscious. Their approach to architecture is defined by a deep sensitivity to placewhether urban or ruraland a commitment to sustainability that informs both form and function.

From the adaptive reuse of industrial heritage in the Gucci Headquartersa landmark example of sustainable corporate architectureto the refined spatial narratives of the Dolce & Gabbana boutiques, where materiality and atmosphere are elevated to an art form, each project reflects the firm's ability to balance identity, innovation, and craft.

Through a variety of typologiescommercial spaces, corporate campuses, cultural venues, and public installationsPiuarch demonstrates a clear and consistent vision: architecture as a tool for improving the urban environment, enriching human experience, and stewarding the resources of the planet.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - On the centenary of the birth of Sergio Vacchi (19252016), the Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte celebrates one of the most heretical and visionary protagonists of twentieth-century Italian painting.On the centenary of the birth of Sergio Vacchi (19252016), the Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte celebrates one of the most heretical and visionary protagonists of twentieth-century Italian painting. A solitary and unconventional artist, Vacchi remained on the margins of dominant movements, faithful to a poetics rooted in new emotional dimensions, achieved through an ever-deeper exploration of his own psyche. From early still lifes to the informal gesturalism of the 1950s, through the return to figuration in the 1960s and its metaphysical tensions, his painting narrates a constant dialectic between eros and matter, history and myth, reason and vision. In Rome, in close contact with intellectuals such as Guttuso, Fellini, and Volponi, he developed major pictorial cycles dedicated to Frederick II, Galileo Galilei, and the Second Vatican Councilreflections on power, knowledge, and artistic freedom of expression. Vacchi's works have fascinated enthusiasts and collectors, among them Sophia Loren, who for Architectural Digest was photographed in the entrance of her Florida home, holding a cup of coffee beneath her portrait painted by Sergio Vacchi. In his later decades, having withdrawn to Tuscany at Castello di Grottitoday the seat of the foundation bearing his name Vacchi developed painting cycles of great symbolic power. His canvases remain a testament to art as moral resistance, capable of revealing our inevitable inner unrest.…
