Built on Water: Floating Architecture + Design	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Baker Lisa Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2014	PDF, 272 страницы, 8.16 МБ 8 Оценка:
Architecture on the water has changed from a fringe niche market into an increasingly popular sector. Catalyst is the risk of rising water levels accompanied by storms and floods as part of the climate change and the unforeseen effects of urbanization. Expanding the habitable areas to beyond the waterfront is an efficient and exciting way to bring extra flexibility to the planet s inhabited spaces. Floating constructions enlarge the built environment while making it more livable and sustainable. Apart from the long tradition of floating residential architecture, buildings of all types are being erected on water today. The selection of projects in this volume provides an insightful overview of the multitude of concepts in this new field of design.

Fanny	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Sturges Jock Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2015	PDF, 200 страниц, 6.00 МБ 8 Оценка:
Fanny is an extended portrait of a young girl's transition from child to woman. Made over a period of 23 years, the images are at once beautiful in their detail of light and identity and also frankly anthropological in their descriptive effect. A naturist since birth, Fanny's comfort with nudity and her natural self has allowed Sturges to draw an engaging portrait of the evolution of a human being with few social distractions. His access to the girl's and woman's character is direct and fascinating. Long known for his extended portraits of children and adolescents, this work is strong evidence of Sturges' permanent commitment to the people in his work.

A Home in Provence: Interiors, Gardens, Inspiration	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Duck Noelle Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2014	PDF, 216 страниц, 6.48 МБ 0 Оценка:
From furniture and frames to traditional fabrics and from ceramics and glassware to garden furniture, this new, compact edition of a best-selling classic describes how to create a home that is quintessentially Provencal. In this volume, we are shown the exteriors of some of the most beautiful houses in Provence, including French designer Edith Mezard's home and British designer Terence Conran's former French residence. Images of gold-hued walls, iron balustrades, leafy terraces, and painted shutters inspire in the reader's mind thoughts of balmy days in the Provencal sunshine. Aromatic lavender in terra-cotta pots and almond trees casting shade over cobbled courtyards evoke the magic of Provence-style living. From plain, rustic-style benches and beds to delicate walnut armchairs and elaborate dressers, all the painted and polished accoutrements of a Provencal home are featured. A section on ceramics and glassware explores the world of the Provencal potter and glassmaker: the materials they use, their techniques, and the distinctive styles of decoration are all described and illustrated in detail. And from tableware to what lies beneath, we trace the exotic history of Provencal textiles and explore a variety of traditional flower-print fabrics and intricate quilted and furnishing textiles. The final section of the book provides extensive source details for decorating the home in Provencal style.

The Book of Drawings + Sketches — Architecture	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Chris van Uffelen Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2013	DOC, 368 страниц, 1.00 МБ 7 Оценка:
After the success of Architectural Visions, with its focus on German speaking countries, this follow-up volume is devoted to the individual handwriting of architects and designers from around the world. As computer aided design becomes ever more prevalent, the handmade drawing is going through a Renaissance. In its characteristic touch it often shows much more clearly which aesthetic impression the planned building finally leaves behind than any number of computer aided visualisation techniques. What is striking here is the concentration on the main characteristics of the buildings, which in turn mark the appearance. In contrast, in the rendering, the love of detail and alleged approximation of reality often overshadows those characteristics. This volume unifies the most varied painting and drawing techniques, counterposing realized drafts to photos of the execution, so that the viewers can recreate for themselves the connection between architectural will and effect.

Cashmere: A French Passion — 1800-1880	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Monique Levi-Strauss Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2013	PDF, 320 страниц, 9.60 МБ 8 Оценка:
The delicate beauty of the cashmere shawl was first brought to Europe by the East India Companies and Napoleon's campaigns. Woven in Kashmir, its fabric was so light that, according to legend, a whole shawl could be passed through a finger ring. Exquisite and expensive, by the nineteenth century these shawls were highly sought-after in France; enterprising French manufacturers soon saw that there was a market for more accessibly priced versions and started to create their own. Here is the story of French cashmere shawls of the nineteenth century. At first, the shawl-makers strove to imitate the traditional hand-made designs using modern techniques of mass production, but then they began to explore and innovate. As weaving technology evolved, motifs grew increasingly complex, expanding from the decorative borders and extending across the whole surface of the shawl and filling it with jewel-like colors.

Graphic Design x100	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Lucas Dorian Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2014	PDF, 216 страниц, 6.48 МБ 0 Оценка:
Graphic design is the creation of visual contents in various media, whose presentation conveys information to other people. The field is interdisciplinary and subject to constantly changing conditions and different interpretations. This unusual book presents 130 young as well as established graphic designers, each on a double page spread designed by him or her. All artists were given the same sample page and the same specified font sizes and number of key strokes. They were free to design the contents of the pages themselves, arrange the text and individual pictures. Minimalist pages are juxtaposed to overloaded compositions, limited colors to expressive shapes and colors. This resulted in a comprehensive cornucopia of graphic possibilities and trends of the early second decade of the 21st century.

8 Minutes	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Hirst Damien Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2009	PDF, 264 страницы, 7.92 МБ 0 Оценка:
«The premise of this book couldn't be simpler: 130 photographs of British bad boy artist Damien Hirst by the great British fashion photographer David Bailey, taken during a single shoot lasting eight minutes. Famed as the inspiration for the swinging 60s photographer character in Michelangelo Antonioni's film «Blow Up» (1966), Bailey was one of the first fashion photographers to merge with rock coterie and the international jet set. In this series of portraits, each pose is spontaneous and determined not by Bailey but by Hirst, who sticks his tongue out, mocking the camera. These photos are unrehearsed, in the spirit of Bailey's recent work, which is characterized by an easy relationship with composition and lighting and no digital manipulation. With no text or even a title page, «8 Minutes» resists the familiar, formulaic style of the usual coffee table book. Always the rogue, Bailey's message is «what you see is what you get.»

The Art of Neil Gaiman: The Visual Story of One of the World's Most Vital Creative Forces	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Campbell Hayley Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2014	PDF, 320 страниц, 9.60 МБ 8 Оценка:
With characters like Coraline and the Sandman to hos, Neil Gaiman is one of the best-loved authors in the world today, a creative force in comics, fiction and the movies and TV, a serial award-winner, and a social media phenomenon whose every work is a guaranteed number 1 bestseller. His active engagement with his fans on twitter — has built an intimate relationship with millions, yet few know the story of how he became the worldwide star he is today, or the private side of the many creative collaborations that have consistently yielded amazing work. The Art of Neil Gaiman changes this, in Neils own words and enriched with visuals from his own archive. Author Hayley Campbell brilliantly evokes the literary and comics scene of 1980s London, and places pop-culture milestones in the context of a busy, multi-stranded creative life — making sense of Gaimans diverse career and relating it to his amazing talent for being in the right place at the right time to — as he himself has put it — Make Good Art.

Creative Space: Urban Homes of Artists and Innovators	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Gavin Francesca Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2011	PDF, 208 страниц, 6.24 МБ 7 Оценка:
Creative Space looks at the studios, apartments, and homes of the designers, directors, stylists, artists, graffiti writers, curators, novelists and innovators who are pushing the boundaries of contemporary culture. These are interiors created by people who shop in Colette in Paris, live on the Lower East Side in New York and travel to Tokyo. The domestic spaces are often DIY and strongly reflect pop culture. Filled with post-modern pop collectables, vintage junk finds, camouflage and graffiti, clothing and toy collections, contemporary art resting in bookshelves and crammed onto walls, these homes are an antidote to the sterility of minimalism. Among the 30 homes featured in the book are those of artist Julie Verhoeven and Maharishi founder Hardy Blechmann in London, graffiti artist Fafi in Paris, artists Ryan McGinness and Wes Lang in New York, innovative creatives Jaybo and Lucio Auri in Berlin, Barcelona filmmaker Roger Gual, and in Tokyo cult photographer Yasumasa Yonehara and artist Aya Takano. In a new compact format and at a very special price, this book will provide ideas and inspiration to all those who want to make their own creative space.

Houghton Revisited: The Walpole Masterpieces from Catherine the Great's Hermitage	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Morel Thierry Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2013	PDF, 272 страницы, 8.16 МБ 8 Оценка:
In 1779 the family of Sir Robert Walpole, Britain's first prime minister, sold his remarkable art collection to Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia. More than two centuries later, these masterpieces, rarely seen outside Russia since that time, are returning to Houghton Hall, the great house built by Walpole. This handsome book illustrates these superlative works hanging once again in William Kent's magnificent interiors. Thierry Morel uncovers the wonders of Walpole's collection, which includes paintings by Van Dyck, Poussin, Rubens and Rembrandt, and traces its journey to the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, to which most of the works now belong. Other essays explore Walpole's artistic tastes and collecting habits, and his beautiful house, one of the finest Palladian buildings in England.

This is Gauguin	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Roddam George Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2014	PDF, 80 страниц, 2.40 МБ 8 Оценка:
Paul Gauguin created some of the most advanced art in a brilliant generation of artists all of whom struggled against the stifling conformity of the late 19th century's artistic mainstream. He created paintings whose radically simplified lines and colours echoed the unschooled art of the rustic and native cultures he loved. After his famously disastrous stay with Vincent van Gogh in southern France, Gauguin escaped European civilization for the Polynesian islands. Immersing himself in the culture, he produced a series of radiant canvases and powerful sculptures his last great works. From his childhood in Peru to his experiences in Tahiti, the story of Gauguin's life is recounted in authoritative text by an expert on the Post-Impressionists and powerful imagery by an award-winning illustrator.

Pictures That Mark Can Do	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Bailey David Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2007	PDF, 176 страниц, 5.28 МБ 0 Оценка:
Mark is good natured. He finds the best in most things. To explain more would be too much. These are just pictures that Mark can do. David Bailey may be a master of the medium, but he also readily accepts that photography is technologically driven. The snapshot is a part of our visual culture and many photographs have been taken millions and millions of times, with just slight variations, such as the identity of the people in a family portrait. Bailey also takes such snaps, images that are imbued with a sense of ease and freedom and yet, which, in his hands usually carry much greater weight and significance. In compiling this work, he considered that the photographs appear so easy that even Mark, his assistant, could make them and the quip became the title of this, his latest book.

Beckett	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Francois-Marie Banier Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2011	PDF, 88 страниц, 2.64 МБ 7 Оценка:
Beckett is the result of a little-known encounter that took place over 30 years ago in Tangiers, between the then-burgeoning photographer Francois-Marie Banier and the great Irish-born writer Samuel Beckett. Banier kept spotting Beckett's iconically gaunt and tapering frame — a marsh-bird vanished in the middle of the crowd of Moroccans in djellabahs and indifferent tourists — and was so entranced by his curious movements and features that he determined to photograph him. Of course when they finally met Banier forgot all about his camera, preferring instead to listen to Beckett's tales of the 27 books he couldn't find a publisher for, of his wife Suzanne, of his friendship with Joyce, of his family in Ireland. Eventually recovering his photographer's eye, Banier stepped back behind the camera to take this fantastic sequence of photographs, published here for the first time, and unmatched as a portrait of the great writer.

Germany Divided: Baselitz and His Generation	Thames and Hudson
Автор: John-Paul Stonard Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2014	PDF, 192 страницы, 5.76 МБ 5 Оценка:
Germany Divided explores a selection of unpublished and unseen works from some of the leading names in contemporary art. Showcased are key works from six artists who re-defined art in Germany in the second half of the twentieth century: Georg Baselitz; Marcus Lupertz; Blinky Palermo; A.R. Penck; Sigmar Polke and Gerhard Richter. In-depth biographical essays on each artist show how the division of Germany into separate states affected their work; and the importance of the experience of migration from East to West. The new consumer culture in the West contrasted starkly with the planned economy of the East. Artists on both side of the Wall were faced with the difficult emotional task of negotiating with the past; not only the recent history of the Third Reich, but the lost traditions of German painting, particularly Expressionism, from which they had been cut adrift. Germany Divided explores the work of these artists in the broader historical context of Germany and Europe in the 1960s and 1970s, and shows how these debates placed crucial emphasis on the creation and display of art. Graphic traditions, reaching back through Expressionism to older traditions of print-making in Germany, were an essential part of the reconstruction of artistic life, and a basis for the phenomenal international success of German art on an international stage in the decades to follow.
