    Hardback. Condizione: New. 1. Neoptolemos Michaelides (1920-92) was a pioneer of modern architecture in Cyprus. All of his designs are based on the desire to develop principles that combine modern architecture with traditional Cypriot construction methods-and the knowledge preserved therein regarding the choice of materials, geographical orientation, natural climate control, and the internal organisation of buildings. These principles are rooted in his studies of Western philosophy and even more in his affinity with Eastern philosophical thought, especially the spiritual importance of a harmonious relationship with nature. Between his respect for pure, natural materials and his awareness of elemental forces, his buildings seem both to worship nature and to evoke the Shintoism of Japan.In this first ever book on the architecture of Neoptolemos Michaelides, the distinguished American architectural historian Kenneth Frampton presents his work in two essays. The first, illustrated with historical photos and documents, is dedicated to 13 of his most important buildings. The second takes a close look at Michaelides' own home in Nicosia. Newly taken photographs and plan drawings created especially for the book on a 1:100 scale document this extraordinary house in detail. The beautiful volume is rounded out with a concise biography of Michaelides.Text in English and Greek.

    Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Neoptolemos Michaelides (1920-1992) gilt als Pionier der modernen Architektur Zyperns. Alle seine Entwürfe basieren auf dem Anliegen, Prinzipien zu entwickeln, die moderne Architektur mit traditionellen zypriotischen Bauweisen und dem darin bewahrten Wissen in Bezug auf die Wahl der Materialien, geografische Orientierung, natürliche Klimatisierung und innere Organisation der Gebäude verbinden. Diese Prinzipien wurzeln in seinen Studien westlicher Philosophie und mehr noch in seiner Affinität zu östlichem philosophischem Denken, insbesondere der spirituellen Bedeutung einer harmonischen Beziehung zur Natur. Zwischen seinem Respekt für reine, natürliche Materialien und seinem Bewusstsein der elementaren Kräfte wirken seine Bauten wie eine Anbetung der Natur und evozieren den Shintoismus Japans. In diesem ersten Buch überhaupt über die Architektur von Neoptolemos Michaelides stellt der amerikanische Architektur-historiker Kenneth Frampton in zwei Essays dessen Werk vor. Der erste, illustriert mit historischen Fotos und Dokumenten, widmet sich 13 seiner wichtigsten Bauten. Der zweite betrachtet vertieft Michaelides' eigenes Wohnhaus in Nicosia. Neu aufgenommene Fotografien und eigens für das Buch erstellte Planzeichnungen im Massstab 1:100 dokumentieren dieses Hauptwerk detailliert. Eine Biografie des Architekten rundet den Band ab. 266 pp. Englisch, Neugriechisch.

    Hardback. Condizione: New. 1. Neoptolemos Michaelides (1920-92) was a pioneer of modern architecture in Cyprus. All of his designs are based on the desire to develop principles that combine modern architecture with traditional Cypriot construction methods-and the knowledge preserved therein regarding the choice of materials, geographical orientation, natural climate control, and the internal organisation of buildings. These principles are rooted in his studies of Western philosophy and even more in his affinity with Eastern philosophical thought, especially the spiritual importance of a harmonious relationship with nature. Between his respect for pure, natural materials and his awareness of elemental forces, his buildings seem both to worship nature and to evoke the Shintoism of Japan.In this first ever book on the architecture of Neoptolemos Michaelides, the distinguished American architectural historian Kenneth Frampton presents his work in two essays. The first, illustrated with historical photos and documents, is dedicated to 13 of his most important buildings. The second takes a close look at Michaelides' own home in Nicosia. Newly taken photographs and plan drawings created especially for the book on a 1:100 scale document this extraordinary house in detail. The beautiful volume is rounded out with a concise biography of Michaelides.Text in English and Greek.
