Summary:
The geometric foundations, forms, and patterns in today’s architecture, design and, decorative arts can trace their origins in past cultures. From humankind’s first path-like doodles on cave walls through to the higher abstractions developed to make accurate measurements and predictions, the three-dimensional forms we design and build have always been dependent on(...)

Summary:
The geometric foundations, forms, and patterns in today’s architecture, design and, decorative arts can trace their origins in past cultures. From humankind’s first path-like doodles on cave walls through to the higher abstractions developed to make accurate measurements and predictions, the three-dimensional forms we design and build have always been dependent on available materials, human needs, and the limits of our imaginations. "3D Thinking in Design and Architecture" tells the story of the intimate relationship between geometry, mathematics and man-made design throughout human history, from the Neolithic period through the Indian, Egyptian, Babylonian, Chinese, Greek, Celtic, Islamic and Renaissance cultures, to the present and the possible future. Presenting key principles that can be applied across all design disciplines, design expert Roger Burrows relates how geometry as a visual language has evolved to meet our needs, initiated new technologies, and changed the way we think about the world around us.

Summary:
The essays selected for this book, presented in chronological order, discuss various aspects of image-making technologies, geometrical knowledge and tools for architectural design, focusing in particular on two historical periods marked by comparable patterns of technological and cultural change. The first is the Renaissance; characterized by the rediscovery of linear perspectives and the simultaneous rise of new formats for architectural drawing and design on paper; the second, the contemporary rise of digital technologies and the simultaneous rise of virtual reality and computer-based design and manufacturing. Many of the contributing authors explore the parallel between the invention of the perspectival paradigm in early-modern Europe and the recent development of digitized virtual reality. This issue in turn bears on the specific purposes of architectural design, where various representational tools and devices are used to visualize bi-dimensional aspects of objects that must be measured and eventually built in three-dimensional space.

Lorsque le docteur Joachim Carvallo, éminent physiologiste, visite le château de Villandry à la fin de l’année 1906, il est à ce point ébloui qu’il l’acquiert sur le champ. Pourtant le domaine, vieux de quatre siècles, a subi de lourdes vicissitudes. Transformé au XIXè siècle en parc paysager, puis délaissé, il est presque réduit à l’état de friche.

Lorsque le docteur Joachim Carvallo, éminent physiologiste, visite le château de Villandry à la fin de l’année 1906, il est à ce point ébloui qu’il l’acquiert sur le champ. Pourtant le domaine, vieux de quatre siècles, a subi de lourdes vicissitudes. Transformé au XIXè siècle en parc paysager, puis délaissé, il est presque réduit à l’état de friche. Carvallo s’en empare. Il lui voue une passion exclusive. Au prix de campagnes de travaux harassantes, il y restitue les fastes d’un XVIè siècle imaginaire. Il consacre le reste de sa vie à traduire dans l’espace, dans les couleurs surtout, sa philosophie d’un ordre divin et son goût pour la disposition en carrés des jardins de la chrétienté médiévale, pour les parcs géométriques de la Renaissance italienne et pour les figures symboliques des parterres hispano-mauresques. Poursuivi avec dévotion par ses descendants, ce dessein singulier fait du Villandry d’aujourd’hui – véritable création ou réinvention du passé – un des joyaux du Val de Loire.

Summary:
A Jeff Wall tapestry? Sol LeWitt paneling? Is this some new Target promotion? Actually, those works aren’t for sale to the general public, but are part of architect Charles Vandenhove’s signature philosophy of integrating other artists’ work into his own designs. And it’s one reason he’s gained such acclaim and fame, whether for a new design (the Théâtre des Abbesses in Paris) or one of his numerous renovation projects (La Monnaie Theatre in Brussels). Paneling (a Vandenhove hallmark) reworked by LeWitt, Marthe Wéry, and Jacques Charlier; tapestries conceived by Luc Tuymans as well as Jeff Wall; designs by Daniel Buren and Patrick Corillon: Each work of art finds a niche in Vandenhove’s architecture, creating a deliberate interaction between disciplines. Or as he himself puts it: "As at the time of the Renaissance, I would like the work of artists to be in line with mine; I would like the one not to be able to exist without the other."

Summary:
This ambitious collection treating the Italian Fascists’ appropriation of the past for political purposes focuses on the role of the visual in the aim of fusing the past and the modern world in Mussolini’s Italy. With contributions by art historians and classicists, literary and intellectual historians, "Donatello among the Blackshirts" demonstrates that the Fascist regime appropriated not only Italy’s ancient Roman past but also the medieval, Renaissance, and even baroque eras, as well as its own recent history, in constructing a new myth of the nation. Every aspect of visual culture—from monumental architecture, sculpture, painting, and gardens to exhibitions, spectacles, films, medals, household items, and stamps—helped to link the past with modernity. As a result, Italy’s artistic traditions became familiar to all social classes throughout the peninsula. While this richly illustrated book concerns Fascist Italy, at the same time it also shows how Italy’s premodern artistic traditions have been passed down to the present through the filter of the Fascist era.

Summary:
The renaissance of wood in architecture began in the early 1990s following the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. A lively interest in sustainable materials made wood particularly attractive and it became an important feature in the developing global ecology. Wood as a building material for the home has become independent from the aesthetic designs of a well-known Swedish furniture chain, and it now stands for a healthy interior environment, free of harmful toxic substances, with naturally balanced humidity and comfortable, regulated temperatures. This volume documents in full technical detail some 25 timber buildings in three main areas: residential buildings, holiday homes, and living and working. The individual projects cover a large range of sizes, budgets, and types of construction, and they also show wood in combination with such materials as stone, concrete, and steel. The featured work comes from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Finland, Ireland, USA, Canada, China, Australia and Brazil, and the architects include Philip Gumuchdjian, Mario Botta, Kengo Kuma and Baumschlager + Eberle.

Summary:
Kyle Cooper is acclaimed as one of the most innovative and important designer of film titles since Saul Bass. This attractive and informative book offers the first critical and historical assessment of Cooper's impressive design achievements. In this book, Andrea Codrington relates that Cooper's work first garnered major attention in 1995 with his creation of the extraordinary title sequence for the horror thriller "Seven", which is credited with bringing about a renaissance in innovative film title design. Seven's titles were touted as short films in their own right-not merely a "design solution" but a metaphorical representation of the film as a whole. Codrington also discusses Cooper's work at the titles specialist R.Greenberg before he founded in 1996 his own Los Angeles based company, Imaginary Forces. As creative director there, Cooper now oversees a ninety-person team and has designed a stunning succession of highly regarded titles for such films as "Eraser", "Mission impossible", "Twister", "The mummy", "The horse whisperer", "The negotiator", and "Arlington road".

Summary:
In recent years metal as a construction material has been experiencing a renaissance. Its diverse qualities and versatility mean that it is an ideal material for many different applications. Gone are the days when metal was only used for the roofing and facades of industrial sheds. In the meantime architecture and industry have discovered its aesthetic qualities, using it to cover theatres, museums, and exhibition buildings with shimmering layers of copper and titanium. It enables extravagant forms to be constructed, and even in low-cost, prefabricated buildings, metal can be used in new and interesting ways. It has become an integral factor in creating intelligent architectural solutions which meet the requirements of clients, investors and architects. ”Metal architecture” documents some 21 international projects which show not only the creative elements but also the economic advantages of metal. Of particular note are the Drive-Inn Restaurant in Slovenia, loft apartments in Los Angeles, and the harbour control tower in Lisbon.

Summary:
The great parks and gardens of Europe come alive by the skillful interplay of natural landscape and architectural elements. Throughout the ages, however, this relationship has been treated in very different ways. The gardens of the Italian renaissance in the 15th or 16th century were based on rational plans, whereas the French parks of the Baroque period seem rather more geometric in design, and the English parklands of the 18th century present a scenic composition. In this publication famous historical gardens from all over Europe are analysed, and these graphic analyses allow us to see into the mind of the designers. By highlighting the design processes, they also function as models for future landscape projects. More than 30 renowned gardens have been examined and documented with a wealth of illustrations. Amongst the parks presented are Palladio’s Villa Emo, the perfect order of the Baroque garden Vaux-le-Vicomte near Paris or the pastoral yet mysterious park of Blenheim Palace near Oxford.

The breadth and diversity of this Renaissance man’s oeuvre reveals untiring attention to and interest in the culture, art, faces, society, and politics of his country. With over 70,000 pictures taken between the 1920s and the 1980s, Domon Ken is considered the supreme master of Japanese photography as well as the main exponent of realism as the only approach possible. Over the years he honed his craft, shifting from propaganda photography during the war to photography as a life’s mission, in search of his own Japan: a fascinating and silent Japan of ancient temples, Buddhist sculptures, puppet theaters (where he took refuge during the war); the seductive and expressive faces of celebrities alongside the modest ones of street urchins; the poorest Japan of mining villages; and finally his most disturbing and modern work, portraying Hiroshima and its unhealed wounds.
