Price:
$17.95
(available to order)
Summary:
More than any other piece of furniture, the chair has been subjected to the wildest dreams of the designers. The particular curve of a back-rest, or the twist of a leg, the angle of a seat or the colour of the entire artefact all reflect the stylistic consciousness of each era. From Gerrit Rietveld and Alvar Aalto via Verner Panton to Eva Zeisel; from Art Nouveau to(...)

The particular curve of a back-rest, or the twist of a leg, the angle of a seat or the colour of the entire artefact all reflect the stylistic consciousness of each era. From Gerrit Rietveld and Alvar Aalto via Verner Panton to Eva Zeisel; from Art Nouveau to International Style, from Pop Art to Postmodernism, the phenomenon of the chair is so complex that it requires a reference work as comprehensive as this to do it full justice. They are all here: Thonet's bentwood chairs and Hoffmann's sitting-machines, Marcel Breuer's Wassily chair and Ron Arad's avant-garde armchairs. The book, a slightly abbreviated version of our classic title "1000 Chairs", devotes one page to each chair, displayed on its own as pure form, with biographical and historical information about the chairs and their designers. A special treat for anyone who loves design and a must for collectors!

Summary:
Inescapably controversial, the Holocaust Memorial Berlin (or, as it’s formally known, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe) is now finished, some 16 years after it was first proposed. Architect Peter Eisenman’s design, which filled a four-football-field-size parcel of land in the middle of Berlin with more than 2,700 concrete slabs, or stelae, was itself hotly debated, with some complaining that its abstractness, Eisenman’s trademark, made it a monument that evoked no memories. As the debates give way to accounts of the experience of the space, the readers of this book, produced with Eisenman’s cooperation, will be able to compare how successfully the architect’s conception matches the reality. This volume offers a full picture of the process from conceptual and architectural drawings and digital plans to photographs of construction. It holds the narrative of a difficult task, turning “the place of no meaning,” as Eisenman once referred to the site in the hopes of dispelling fears that he was trying to symbolize the deaths that took place during the Holocaust, into a confrontation with the past. Photographs by Hélène Binet and Lukas Wasserman.

Price:

Summary:
Over the past few decades, discussions of contemporary architecture have tended to concentrate on a select few innovative building projects that promise to single-handedly change their urban landscapes. "Vanishing point" conversely focuses on aspects of the built environment that are far less singular yet arguably more influential: spaces that anthropologist Marc Augé terms "non-places"--hotels, shopping malls, freeways, corporate high-rises, airport terminals, gambling casinos, themed restaurants, and other visually intoxicating yet banal environments that people pass through, often on their way to somewhere else. Reflecting this, the artists in "Vanishing point" make an effort to "place" these characterless locations. They interpret rather than document architectural spaces in order to convey the range of emotions and physical sensations that they evoke. Includes the resulting paintings, photographs, videos, and installations by emerging and established artists such as Fabian Birgfeld, Dike Blair, Marco Brambilla, Jonah Freeman, Carla Klein, Sabine Hornig, Luisa Lambri, Won Ju Lim, Sarah Morris, Deborah Stratman, Amelie Von Wulffen, and Amy Wheeler.
