Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This atlas of more than one thousand Modernist architectural masterpieces uncovers hidden gems while offering new perspectives on old favourites. In 2006, architectural designer and curator Adam Stech embarked on a photographic project to document the best Modernist architecture around the globe. Twenty-five countries and more than a decade later, the fruits of that monumental project are gathered in this impressive collection covering nearly a century of architectural history. Driven by a passion for rediscovering forgotten or lesser known architectural treasures of Modernism, Stech took thousands of diverse photographs of exteriors and interiors. This survey features often overlooked details that Stech helps bring to light. Examples of seating, storage, tables, handrails, lighting, doors, windows, fireplaces, and other decorative or functional elements illustrate how architects imbued every aspect of a building with Modernist ideals. Stech's brief personal commentary reveals insights into his photography such as capturing Le Corbusier's bold use of primary colours, the California vibe of an Albert Frey house, or the over-the-top elegance of Togo Murano's Grand Prince Hotel. Expansive and inspiring, this is destined to become the definitive guide to 20th-century Modernism. AUTHOR: Adam Stech is one of the leading Czech theorists of design. He contributes regularly to Vogue, Domus, Wallpaper, Form, Mark, Frame, Modernism, Cool Hunting, and other publications. He teaches design history at Scholastika in Prague in the Czech Republic. 1000 colour illustrations This atlas of more than one thousand Modernist architectural masterpieces uncovers hidden gems while offering new perspectives on old favourites.

23 x 16cm. Paperback, 105pp. Catalogue for a themed exhibition held at the Fashion Space Gallery, London College of Fashion on September 22 to Decmber 19, 2016. Fordlandia was built in the wilderness of the Amazon by American industrialist Henry Ford in the late 1920's to secure a supply of rubber for his car empire. Ford set out to create his ideal American plantation complete with rows of houses, straight roads, schools and hospitals for his workers. A strict nine to five work schedule, uniforms and leisure activities such as regular square dances were enforced on the indigenous workers. However, these attempts to organise and tame the rainforest soon began to show cracks. As early as 1930, his labourers staged the first of many revolts against the strict behavioural controls imposed. Ford's attempts to outwit the rubber tree's natural predators also did not go as well as planned. Ultimately, Fordlandia was sold back to the Brazilian government in 1945 and left to decay. Inspired by the tropical ghost town, this project by Studio Swine imagined a world where Fordlandia is a success, where nature and industry have entered a symbiotic relationship to create - sustainably and beautifully. The project featured a collection of furniture and products which use natural rubber and other materials from the forest and reference the Brazilian tropical modernist movement. Studio Swine also collaborated with LCF MA Menswear alumni Emma Fenton Villar and BA Textile student Erica Weide in creating three denim workwear jackets and a denim wall-hanging and a textile screen respectively. Studio Swine were kindly supported by the British Council to travel to Brazil on a Winston Churchill Travel Fellowship in the Design category. Good condition.…
