› Find signed collectible books: 'Andrea Palladio 1508-1580: Architect Between the Renaissance and Baroque'Book summary:[via]With this introduction to the work of Andrea Palladio (1508 1580), TASCHEN Basic Architecture series shines its spotlight on one of the most influential figures in the history of Western architecture. Palladios Villa Rotonda in Vicenza became the most famous building of its kind; it influenced many later designs and remains an important source of inspiration for todays architects. The Palladian style, distinguished by the typical Serlian windows, pillared faades resembling Roman temples, symmetrical floor plans, and elevations, was imported to other European countries and became widely known; in Great Britain it was one the important roots of 17th and 18th century architecture. In the 19th century, American architecture heavily referred to the style, as seen in, for example, Thomas Jefferson Monticello home.More editions of Andrea Palladio 1508-1580: Architect Between the Renaissance and Baroque:

Candida Hofer Librariesby Candida HoferISBN 3829601867 (3-8296-0186-7)
Hardcover, Schirmer/Mosel Verlag Gmbh
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Candida Hofer Libraries'Book summary:For almost 30 years Candida Höfer has photographed interiors, mostly representational spaces accessible to the public, such as staircases, lobbies, reading halls or exhibition spaces. Rather than staging them, she takes their picture in the state she finds them, with great discreetness and a touch of humour.
Libraries are a book producers dream. Since nobody photographs libraries as beautifully as Höfer, it seemed only natural for Schirmer/Mosel to dedicate her next publication to the splendid and intimate cathedrals of knowledge across Europe and the US: the Escorial in Spain, the Whitney Museum in New York, Villa Medici in Rome, the Hamburg University library, the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris, the Museo Archeologico in Madrid, and Pierpont Morgan Library in New York, to name just a few. Almost completely devoid of people, as is Candida Höfers trademark, these pictures radiate a comforting serenity that is exceptional in contemporary photography. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Carlo Scarpa'Book summary:Carlo Scarpa was a virtuoso of light, a master of detail, a connoisseur of materials. In his lifetime he was often dismissed as "merely" an artist who also wanted to build. Today, however, it is clear that his own brand of Modernism made him one of the 20th-century architectural greats. Scarpa taught at the Venice architectural faculty. Over a period of three decades he designed exhibitions in London, Paris, Rome and Milan, and regularly for the Biennale in Venice, his native city. The major contributions to his fame, though, were museum projects such as the Gipsoteca Canoviana in Possagno and the Museo di Castelvecchio in Verona. [via]

Case Study Houses: 1945-1966by Elizabeth Smith, Peter GoesselISBN 3822864129 (3-8228-6412-9)
Hardcover, Taschen America Llc

› Find signed collectible books: 'Case Study Houses: 1945-1966'Book summary:Selbst wer noch nie von den Case Study Houses gehört hat, kennt wahrscheinlich diese Ikone der Architekturfotografie: Zwei Frauen in weißen Kleidern sitzen in den Sesseln eines kühlen Hauses, das ganz aus Glas und Stahl besteht und über den flimmernden Lichtern des endlosen Straßenrasters von Los Angeles zu schweben scheint. Warum sind diese Fotos so faszinierend? Was war das Case-Study-House-Programm? Was bedeuten die Häuser heute, die zumeist vor mehr als 50 Jahren entstanden sind?
Der wahrhaft opulente Band enthält alle gebauten oder Entwurf gebliebenen Case Study Houses. Das Programm der Modellhäuser wurde 1945 von John Entenza, dem Chefredakteur der Zeitschrift arts & architecture, erfunden. Es versammelte bis 1966 achtundzwanzig Prototypen kalifornischer Nachkriegs-Einfamilienhäuser von willkürlich ausgewählten Architekten. Obwohl sparsam aus industriellen Bauprodukten gefertigt, propagierten die Entwürfe großzügige, moderne Wohnformen und die Integration in die natürliche Landschaft. Die Palette reicht von ersten bescheidenen Häusern über die bekannteren von Charles Eames, Eero Saarinen und Richard Neutra bis zu den mondänen Realisierungen von Pierre Koenig und Craig Ellwood. In ihrer Modernität sind sie bis heute nur selten übertroffen.
Die 440 Seiten im A3-Format enthalten neben den großartigen Architekturaufnahmen auch Skizzen, Modellfotos, Perspektiven, detaillierte Ausführungspläne, die Originaltexte aus der Zeitschrift sowie Interviews und erläuternde Texte, alles in durchgängig hoher Qualität. Die Mehrzahl der Fotos stammt, wie das eingangs erwähnte Motiv, von dem bekannten amerikanischen Architekturfotografen Julius Shulman. Die Art und Weise, wie er in seinen Fotos die Häuser in ihrer Umgebung inszeniert und die Innen- und Außenräume ineinander fließen lässt, hat Maßstäbe gesetzt. Ergänzt werden die Darstellungen durch die Biografien aller Architekten und zwei Übersichtskarten zur Lage der Häuser.
Die Case Study Houses haben nichts von ihrem Wert eingebüßt. Sie atmen noch immer den Aufbruch in Licht, Luft und Freiheit einer industriellen und doch naturverbundenen Moderne. Man kann sich durch die Pläne träumen und in den wunderbaren Fotos schwelgen. Doch das Buch ist mehr als nur ein edles Präsent für den Architektengeburtstag. Die Vielfalt der sehr guten Entwürfe, die Skizzen und Baustellenfotos sind für Architekten und Interior-Designer eine echte Fundgrube. So ist der Band ein Geschenk -- im doppelten Sinn. --Holger Gantz [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Gropius'Book summary:[via]Born and educated in Germany, Walter Gropius (1883-1969) belongs to the select group of architects that massively influenced the international development of modern architecture. As the founding director of the Bauhaus, Gropius made inestimable contributions to his field, to the point that knowing his work is crucial to understanding Modernism. His early buildings, such Fagus Boot-Last Factory and the Bauhaus Building in Dessau, with their use of glass and industrial features, are still indispensable points of reference. After his emigration to the United States, he influenced the education of architects there and became, along with Mies van der Rohe, a leading proponent of the International Style.More editions of Gropius:

New York Verticalby Horst Hamann, Volker SkierkaISBN 3823803700 (3-8238-0370-0)
Hardcover, teNeues Publishing Company
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'New York Vertical'Book summary:Some people may mistakenly overlook this book because of the novelty of its central idea--upending a panoramic camera to shoot New York City vertically. But veteran photographer Horst Hamann's pictures have nothing gimmicky about them; in fact, like Berenice Abbott's, they seem destined for New York City photo immortality. The pictures are beautifully controlled--in vision, in camera technique, and in printing. What's more, Hamann bends the city to his vision of light, air, and geometry. A shot of the Statue of Liberty's right arm, holding the lamp aloft, is a masterwork of composition and care. It's as if Hamann somehow arranged for the sea below to darken in precisely the same gradations as the Lady's stately arm. Compare it to a dizzying picture of one of the Chrysler Building's shiny eagle heads, or a serene moment among the hosta lilies in Trinity Church cemetery for a grasp of Hamann's range.
Each photograph is paired with a quotation on the opposite page, such as Walt Whitman's "The beautiful city, the city of hurried and sparkling waters!" or former mayor James J. Walker's quip, "I'd rather be a lamppost in New York than Mayor of Chicago." The back of the book contains information on the places in the photographs. On a shelf of New York books, this one might take its place next to Paul Goldberger's classic, The City Observed, as a fresh example of how New York's stone, steel, and glass architectural icons are reinvented with each new visionary. --Peggy Moorman [via]

Opening Spaces: Design As Landscape Architectureby Stefan Bernard, Hans LoidlISBN 3764370130 (3-7643-7013-0)
Hardcover, Springer Verlag
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Opening Spaces: Design As Landscape Architecture'Book summary:The art of designing both unites and divides landscape architecture and architecture. Despite having a long tradition, landscape architecture has lacked a concise presentation of the fundamental principles underlying its design and planning concepts. This much sought-after book has evolved out of more than twenty years of teaching experience. The authors distinguish between the variable factors such as climate, growth of vegetation etc., and the more abstract element of design. They describe the ideal design components and demonstrate the extent to which natural features such as surfaces, spaces, paths, borders, hard and soft materials shape the designs. This book reveals how concepts such as order and chaos, way and goal, intention and reaction form the basis for landscape design, just as they do in architecture. Hans Loidl has been Professor for Landscape Architecture in Berlin since 1982 and has headed his own atelier since 1984. Stefan Bernard works as a landscape architect and graphic designer. [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Otto Wagner: 1841-1918 Forerunner Of Modern Architecture'Book summary:The pioneer of Viennese Modernism One of Austria's most influential architects, Otto Wagner (1841-1918) played a key role in modernizing urban architecture. Forming an approach described as structural rationalism, Wagner pioneered use of materials such as glass, steel, and especially aluminum.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Piranesi: The Complete Etchings'Book summary:Editeur : ""Piranèse était aussi sauvage que Salvator Rosa, aussi féroce que Michel-Ange, aussi exubérant que Rubens... Il a imaginé des scènes qui auraient bousculé la géométrie et épuisé toutes les richesses des Indes s'il avait fallu les réaliser." --Horace Walpole Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1778), dit Le Piranèse, le plus célèbre graveur sur cuivre du XVIIIe siècle et l'un des plus grands architectes de tous les temps, est aujourd'hui surtout célèbre pour sa série étonnante d'eaux-fortes représentant des prisons fantasmagoriques, les Carceri d'Invenzione. À son époque, on l'admirait surtout pour ses Vedute, 137 eaux-fortes de la Rome antique et contemporaine; ces images surprenantes de clair-obscur, imprégnées de la séduction romantique qu'exerçaient sur Piranèse les ruines archéologiques, connurent un tel succès qu'elles ont symbolisé l'image de Rome pendant plusieurs générations. On peut considérer que Piranèse est à l'origine de toute une tradition architecturale contemporaine, et qu'il a permis de mieux percevoir l'Antiquité. Son influence s'est étendue jusqu'à notre époque, sensible chez des écrivains comme Borges ou Kafka, mais aussi chez des réalisateurs comme Terry Gilliam ou Peter Greenaway. Contempler les eaux-fortes de Piranèse, c'est faire face au cauchemar existentiel de la condition humaine et de son mystère infini. "Hommage artistique à un génie." -- Frankfurter Rundschau, Francfort À propos de l'auteur: Luigi Ficacci a étudié l'histoire de l'art à Rome, sous la direction de Giulio Carlo Argan. Pendant de nombreuses années, il a travaillé com [via]
