Paperback. Condition: 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 advertisements 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 our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Softcover. Condition: Near Fine. Paperback binding, illustrated in black and white - Die PalAkologie hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten eine dynamische Entwicklung erfahren.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Three approaches to sustainable architecture-biodigital, bioregional and bioresponsive-from studios centered around biology and chemistry. Architecture Connecting: Living Structures is the first book accompanying a new exhibition series at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art and presents three design studios with a diverse use of biology and biochemistry as a basis for their practices: ecoLogicStudio, Atelier LUMA and Jenny Sabin Studio. Conscious of our connection to all living things and tracking technological advances, not least in artificial intelligence tools, the studios are developing new methods to review issues of sustainable architecture and climate concerns. This book unfolds their practices, highlighting some of their most important projects. The richly illustrated catalog also comprises a conversation between each design studio and an expert in the field of architecture: Jan Boelen from Atelier LUMA in conversation with Hashim Sarkis, Jenny Sabin in conversation with Mette Ramsgaard, and ecoLogicStudio in conversation with Mario Carpo. AUTHORS: ecoLogicStudio, founded by Marco Poletti and Claudia Pasquero, is a design studio in London working with biodigital architecture. Atelier LUMA is the research design lab of LUMA Arles, working with bioregional design and architecture. Jenny Sabin Studio is based in Ithaca, NY, and works at the crossroads between architecture and science. 150 illustrations Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condition: 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 our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The residential projects of the award-winning architecture firm responsible for the first Frieze New York pavilion. For over a decade, Brooklyn-based architecture firm SOIL has been envisioning houses and other projects in between and adjacent to domestic spaces. Reflecting on the state of housing design today, often constrained by pressures of production, SOIL approaches these projects with generous experimentation. They adapt and adjust the architectural and physical body languages of domesticity while operating through the framing and occupation of liminal spaces. The projects featured in In Depth represent SO-IL's attempt to hack the codes, cores, courts and corridors; to stretch and inhabit inefficiencies; to turn the old stones and bring fragments of buried treasures from the past into the present; to question if housing for all should be the yardstick for the shelters of our souls; and to ask the future generations what kind of home we should design for them. SELLING POINTS: . SOIL or Solid ObjectivesIdenburg Liu is a Brooklyn-based architecture firm founded in 2008 by husband-and-wife team Florian Idenburg and Jing Liu. Known for its 2021 design of Brooklyn's Amant arts complex and the first Frieze New York pavilion in 2012, SOIL envisions spaces for culture and learning that inspire positive intellectual and societal engagement. . The sleek design of this 400-page softcover complements the book's documentation of SO-IL's residential projects.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. At once fitting into and standing out from their surroundings, Moeller's sculptures provide a welcome break from workaday life. Renouncing his former self-designation as a "media architect," Christian Moeller (born 1959) created a series of large-scale public art projects between 2004 and 2023, downplaying the role of information technology within his work to instead emphasize its pictorial and sculptural qualities. 160 illustrations Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
