Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An innovative reading of the influence of Catholicism on the great Dutch master of light and intimacyLittle is known about the personality of Johannes Vermeer (1632-75), one of the most famous Dutch painters of the 17th century. We do know, however, that he married a Catholic woman named Catharina Bolnes, whose family was closely associated with the Jesuit community in Delft. In this book, Gregor J.M. Weber shows that Vermeer himself actually pursued a Catholic way of life. The relationship between the artistic ambitions of the young Vermeer and his Catholic surroundings is also discussed. Vermeer's unique treatment of light, perception and perspective is examined and linked to the Jesuits' special interest in the camera obscura, the instrument of light and vision par excellence. With his research, Weber places Vermeer's person and art in a new context, which until now has only been touched on in passing.Gregor J.M. Weber (born 1956) is head of the Department of Fine Arts at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and the author of 1600-1700: Dutch Golden Age, among other books.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From the Pantheon in Rome to the Zollverein in Essen, "vital architecture" describes buildings with a future value, buildings whose architecture determines and guarantees their lifespan. The spatial quality of such buildings is the core of their value and sustainability, even--or especially--when their use changes. Vital Architecture focuses on the clients, users, architects and designers of such buildings. Written by Ruurd Roorda and Bas Kegge, the book documents and interprets 20 of these vital buildings with plans, sections, diagrams and photographs by Roel Backaert. Offering a spatial analysis of both instantly recognizable architectural icons and common, everyday existing buildings drawn from a period ranging from the beginning of the Christian era to the present, Vital Architecture develops a methodology to account for the lifespan of buildings, and offers inspiration for creating something for the future.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A handsomely designed visual celebration of artistic and scientific depictions of insects, lizards and more across the centuriesCrawly creatures: critters, spiders, lizards, toads and, above all, insects. In the Middle Ages they were mainly associated with death and the Devil; but in the 16th and 17th centuries, with the emergence of science, people began to appreciate their beauty, and such creatures appeared in works of art, became the subject of scholarly treatises and were popular collectors' items. Artists such as Albrecht Duerer, Wenzel Jamnitzer, Jan van Kessel and Maria Sibylla Merian created beautiful depictions of these creatures.Today, artists are still inspired by "crawly creatures" and continue to depict new ways of dealing with insects and the natural world. This richly illustrated publication, designed by Irma Boom, celebrates the wonders of small creatures and the fascinating relationship between art and science across the centuries.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A multipronged study of Africa's innovative approaches to communal living in the face of climate change and urbanizationThis volume presents essays, stories, research and photographs showing how African cities by waterfronts deal with two of the most significant trends of our time: urbanization and a changing climate. On the African continent, the impact of climate change is now an everyday reality. Coastal and waterfront cities in particular experience loss and damage due to significant increases in sea level rise, rainfall and flooding. At the same time, Africa is the second most rapidly urbanizing continent (after Asia). The intersections between water and cities are therefore critical for understanding the future of urban and rural developments in Africa. Through deeper understanding of the innovative and resourceful way of life of informal water communities such as Makoko and coastal cities such as Abidjan, African Water Cities reveals key factors, challenges and opportunities shaping human, physical and economic dynamics.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An ode to three friends and their jubilant fusion of drawing, dance and photographyIn the days of downtown New York in the '70s and '80s, three boundary-pushing artists flourished: Keith Haring (1958-90), Muna Tseng (born 1953) and Tseng Kwong Chi (1950-90). Boundless Minds & Moving Bodies presents an intimate visual journey through the early collaborations between these artists and friends, offering a unique and colorful prism of their expression through their respective disciplines: drawing, dance and photography, respectively. Their work and interactions reveal a shared performative energy--the joy of experimenting, openness, exchange and social engagement. Together and independently, they were immersed in and contributors to the bustling and vibrant cultural downtown scene.This book features the 1982 collaboration between Haring and Tseng, in which the former created the set for the latter, drawing a visual score for her performance piece Epochal Songs. Tseng's brother, Kwong Chi, took photographs of Haring's work in the subways, on the streets and during public performances, rendering them accessible to audiences across the globe. Next to the collaborative work of Haring and Tseng, the publication introduces Kwong Chi's own body of seminal work: the famous self-portrait series East Meets West, which he made while visiting many iconic tourist sites across the world with Haring.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. New cartographic means of visualizing people and society, beyond the traditional borders of the nation-state A map is a visual story of the world. It feeds our imagination and shapes our view of the world. A standard atlas, however, predominantly tells only one story: that of the nation-state. It depicts a world in which people are uniformly packed into national containers, enclosed by borders, and in which migration is often represented as threatening invasion arrows. Free the Map goes beyond this narrow, state-centric cartography. The book argues for a new cartographic story along the lines of Hermes, the grandson of Atlas and the god of mobility and human connections. To this end, it discusses several visually compelling, alternative cartographic representations of borders and migration. Free the Map ends with a call to action; artists and cartographers offer exciting ready-to-use challenges for educational and public resources.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A trove of groundbreaking insights into formal-informal linkages in urban transformationInformality is on the rise like never before: its transformative power can be seen in the new ways we produce, consume and live. Commerce plays a crucial role in these changes, impacting everything from nomadic labor to online services, street food kitchens to pop-up shops. But nowhere is the tension between the formal and the informal more evident than in the struggles of contested marketplaces.This book provides a deeper understanding of the formal-informal linkages that have given shape to some of the world's largest and unique open-air marketplaces. Its rich and engaging visual analyses of markets in cities such as Bangkok, Buenos Aires, Dubai and New York reveal the hidden connections between informal trade, neoliberal governance and urban development. These detailed studies follow the global survey of informal markets published in the two-volume set Informal Market Worlds: The Architecture of Economic Pressure (Atlas + Reader).

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A critical reflection on urban and landscape design in the era of climate crisisPublished on the occasion of the International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam (IABR), Down to Earth takes the climate crisis as a given and that we are already in over our heads. But it eschews despondency, vigorously pursuing engineering and design interventions. Dutch author George Brugmans, executive director of the IABR since 2014, shares his in-depth research of key climate crisis-fighting tactics such as energy transition and water management, and interrogates examples such as the drought in the Dutch Delta, rising sea levels and gas stoves. Throughout, Brugmans interweaves the history of the IABR and its commitment as a cultural institution to eco-conscious design. In addition to Brugmans' texts, the volume also includes essays by landscape architect Dirk Sijmons and a dialogue between the lecturers and students of the Rotterdam Academy of Architecture and Urban Design.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. How renewable energy technologies can transform our landscape for the betterThe energy transition is in full swing: across the globe, windmills and solar panels are taking over from fossil fuels. But the construction and intervention of these new structures in the landscape is often met with resistance. What if one of the biggest obstacles for this transition is not energy technologies themselves but fear of drastic changes to our living environment?Power of Landscape examines "energy landscapes" in Europe and the US (Hoover dam, Arizona and Imperial Valley, California) in the present, past and future, exploring the qualitative and emotional significance of these landscapes for residents and users, and bridging for the first time the gap between the world of renewable energy and the world of spatial design. The core of the book's research stems from work at the Academy of Architecture Amsterdam and Wageningen University by Sven Stremke, Dirk Oudes and Paolo Picchi; additional experts on energy transition and environmental design reflect on their research.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Through stunning aerial and street photography, Iwan Baan pays tribute to one of Dutch modernism's most influential urban designersThe celebrated Dutch architectural photographer Iwan Baan (born 1975) has dedicated his career to capturing the stories told by buildings. This publication compiles his series on Willem Marinus Dudok (1884-1974), known as the father of Dutch modernism. Decades after their construction, Dudok's designs remain keenly relevant for their exceptional spatial sensitivity. In this series, Baan expands his lens to encompass Dudok as a designer not only of singular buildings but of whole landscapes in which people are able to live, work and learn. Through impressive aerial and street photography, Baan conveys the breadth of Dudok's practice as an urban designer, focusing in particular on his ability to expand metropolitan neighborhoods in a way that felt entirely natural. Additional insight into Dudok's craft and its lasting influence on contemporary European architecture is provided by architectural historian Lara Voerman.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Over the course of nearly 40 years, Dutch artist Jan Schoonhoven (1914-94) produced works on paper and sculptural reliefs, while maintaining his job as a civil servant employed by the Dutch Post Office. This new monograph places the artist, one of the most important Dutch artists of the 20th century, in an international context, arguing for his role as an influential player in European art after the Second World War. From his central position in the Netherlandish Informal Group, associated with Art Informel, to his later involvement with the Dutch Nul group, part of the international ZERO network, Schoonhoven participated in two of the most important currents of postwar European abstraction from his hometown of Delft. This volume features many hitherto unknown works and photographs, and sheds new light on the work of the "master of white."

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A massive trove of drawings of chairs, clocks, vases and more across four centuriesPublished in conjunction with an exhibition at the Rijksmuseum, Process displays the museum's extensive collection of previously unseen drawings of artifacts from the 1500s to 1900. The book thoroughly discusses the artifacts--which include vases, chairs, clocks, stoves, sledges and carriages, among many others--investigating their origins and usage, as well as the systems of production behind the objects; inventors, makers and patrons all feature here. The central focus of Process, however, is not the artifacts but the design drawings themselves. The drawings are arranged according to the successive stages of the design process, from the first sketches in pencil to their fully elaborated, colorful presentation.Unlike other publications on this subject, Process privileges the function of the drawings within the design process over their provenance and attribution. This distinct approach was developed after years of research by Reinier Baarsen, senior curator at the Rijksmuseum, who contributes text to the volume.
