Housing is rapidly having to adapt to the global changes of the twenty first century. These include the transformation of the family and the rise of the non-traditional household, increases in construction costs, and concerns over climate change and the depletion of natural resources. Designing residential environments that address these issues is an urgent priority. This book examines the latest residential design trends that have arisen in response to these challenges. Divided into four broad areas, tightly focused thematic chapters look at twenty discrete topics, such as live/work; adaptable housing; prefabrication; water efficiency; green roofs; innovative landscaping. Each chapter includes an essay which lays out principles, methods and practices. Using text, drawings and photos from a variety of contemporary international practices, the book demonstrates how these ideas can be applied by architects. It offers a comprehensive collection of strategies and examples that will inspire a much needed housing revolution.

Автор: Shore Robert Издательство: Laurence King Publishing, 2014 |
PDF, 272 страницы, 8.16 МБ
|
The real world is full of cameras; the virtual world is full of images. Where does all this photographic activity leave the artist-photographer? Post-Photography tries to answer that question by investigating the exciting new language of photographic image-making that is emerging in the digital age of anything-ispossible and everything-has-been-done-before. Found imagery has become increasingly important in post-photographic practice, with the internet serving as a laboratory for a major kind of imagemaking experimentation. But artists also continue to create entirely original works using avant-garde techniques drawn from both the digital and analogue eras. This book is split into five sections Something Borrowed, Something New; Layers of Reality; All the World Is Staged; Hand and Eye; and Post — Photojournalism which cover the key strategies adopted by 53 of the most exciting and innovative international artist-photographers of the 21st century.

Magma Sketchbook: Fashion

Издательство: Laurence King Publishing, 2011 |

Ideally (though not exclusively) suited for stylists, editors, fashion designers, illustrators and anyone working within the creative industries, or studying these disciplines, or simply interested in drawing beautiful clothes. Artists have always relied on their sketchbooks. But art has changed: new visual styles tend to be not exclusively the product of painting and drawing but will often come out of illustration, graphics, film and animation, fashion, advertising, art direction and a number of creative activities. This new line addresses the needs of contemporary practitioners, trying to update that format. Helpful and user-friendly, these sketchbooks tread that fine line between giving users practical tools and information while not interfering with their creative freedom. As part of this updating process, this sketchbook has been made entirely out of eco-friendly materials.

This is Kandinsky
|
Laurence King Publishing
|
Автор: Howard Annabel Издательство: Laurence King Publishing, 2015 |
PDF, 80 страниц, 2.40 МБ
|
Intellectual, emotional, restless, dogged, loyal, selfish; Kandinsky was an artist — and a man — of contradictions. This genre-defying painter didn't pick up a brush until he was thirty years old. He was an academic with a promising career that he threw away to explore the arts. He was a Russian, yet he spent more than half of his life on the road, and died in self-imposed exile in France. As an artist he is credited with history's first abstract painting, but it was his theories that had a profound and lasting impact on the way that people understand and value what art can achieve. Richly illustrated with specially commissioned artworks and 20 of Kandinsky's major works, this is Kandinsky forms the perfect introduction to the life of this revolutionary figure in twentieth-century art.
