Christian Kerez Uncertain Certainly 

Christian Kerez

简介 

Description

这本是由出生于委内瑞拉的瑞士建筑师克里斯蒂安·克雷斯（Christian Kerez）撰写的，是一本关于设计和项目的专著。他试图阐明自己独特的设计方式，强调了建筑设计不应因建筑物本身的存在而存在，而是应该反映一种对建筑的质疑和处理未知事件的操作方式。从本质上讲，设计师认为原本被认为是理所当然的事情必须以新的视角重新审视。建筑评论家Erwin Viray在与克里斯的对话中深入探讨了这种方式，这本书详尽地展示了他的设计实例，其中包括郑州的高层建筑，华沙的现代艺术博物馆，Palaisópolis 的社会房屋和在慕尼黑的教学楼。

This monograph of work and projects by Venezuelan-born, Swiss-based architect Christian Kerez seeks to elucidate his particular approach, which emphasises how architecture does not exist in and of itself, but is rather a reflection of a practice of questioning, and of working with the unexpected. At its core, the things we take for granted must be seen again, in a new light. Architecture critic Erwin Viray delves into this kind of reasoning in a conversation with Kerez, while the book beautifully presents examples of his designs, among them, a high-rise in Zhengzhou, the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, social housing in Paraisópolis and a school building in Munich.

Carlo Scarpa: Architecture in Details

Bianca Albertini / Alessandra Bagnoli

简介 

Description

作者仔细研究了斯卡帕对当代建筑设计的重要影响。书中讨论了斯卡帕对图像，区域主义以及艺术家和工匠技术的兴趣；他对光，空气，水和地球的着迷；他从文学艺术中汲取的精髓；他将这些来源广泛的资料转化成梁和柱子，连接和造型，固定装置和家具。斯卡帕结合了令人回味的片段和乡土元素，在极简主义成为首选风格的时候，产生了一种感性的建筑。

本书八章中的每一章都包含一个主题元素：支撑，连接点，节点，封口和缝隙，形式和虚空，造型和轮廓，表面，透明度，并用彩色、黑白照片和图纸进行了说明， 还有许多以前未出版的元素。目录提供了有关为这些主题元素而选择的所有作品或细节的技术信息。

The authors take a close look at what makes Scarpa's work important today. They discuss his interest in imagery, regionalism and the techniques of the artist and craftsman; his fascination with the play of light, air, water, and earth; the ease with which he drew from literature and art; and his translation of these widely varied sources into beams and pillars, joints and molding, fixtures and furniture. Scarpa, combined evocative fragments and vernacular expressions to produce an architecture of sensuality during a time when minimalism was the style of choice.

Each of the eight chapters takes up a thematic element - support, connections and links, juncture and articulation, closure and aperture, solid and void, moulding and profiling, surfaces, transparency - and illustrates it with color and black-and­white photographs and drawings, many previously unpublished. A concluding catalog provides technical information on all the works or details selected to illustrate these thematic elements.

这是我个人馆藏里最喜欢的一本书。斯卡帕最初对细节美的关注使我无比着迷。这本书使我们深入了解了斯卡帕的影响力和兴趣，以及他们如何影响斯卡帕的设计。对那些致力于精致细节的人来说，这是一本很棒的书。

A much-loved book in my library. I am endlessly fascinated by Scarpa’s original, elegant attention to detail. This book gives us insight in to Scarpa’s influences and interests and how they influenced his work. A terrific book for anyone devoted to refined detail.

Bolles + Wilson: Recent Buildings and Projects

J. Bolles / P. Wilson

简介 

Description

Bolles + Wilson 的建筑在分散的城市群中留下了清晰的标志。彼得·威尔逊（Peter Wilson）指出：“我们试图承担建筑的主要职责：专注，固定，度量。” 本专题展示了1993年至1997年期间在芒斯特，卡斯特罗普-罗克斯，亨格鲁和鹿特丹的建筑和项目，这些城市的新卢克索剧院是该港口城市城市发展计划的重点。

The buildings of Bolles + Wilson leave clear markers in the diffused urban agglomerations. Peter Wilson states, "we attempt to take up one of the principle responsibilities of architecture: to focus, to anchor, to give measure."

Renzo Piano: Building Workshop - 系列

Peter Buchanan

简介 

Description

伦佐·皮亚诺五卷作品集中的第一卷展示了建筑师早期职业生涯以及建筑工作室的标志性建筑和项目。本卷展示了他的作品生成，他的设计方法以及他的早期导师和他设计生涯的发展，包括一些他最出名的建筑物和项目的介绍。

伦佐·皮亚诺的第二卷作品集介绍了建筑师的设计方式，以及他从1987年至1993年的建筑项目。在与作者的访谈中，皮亚诺讨论了他的早期职业；对技术的态度以及他所说的“自然建筑”概念的不断发展。本卷书中许多完成的建筑物皆位于皮亚诺的家乡热那亚及其周围，从与1992年旧码头的世博会相关的建筑到他自己在维西马的实验室的建筑，都被详尽在本册书中。

第三卷以皮亚诺优秀的关西机场项目结束，以一篇介绍性文章“从蓬皮杜到关西”回顾了他的职业生涯。还包括伦佐·皮亚诺建筑工作室的最新项目。用照片和图纸描述说明了这些项目，并绘制了从设计到施工阶段，直至建筑建成的图纸。本卷书的最后一部分专门介绍了关西机场项目，介绍了其设计和建造的背景，使读者能够直接体验建筑的“生成”。

伦佐·皮亚诺的第四卷作品集提供了对建筑师工作方法的研究，尤其是他对环境的关注。在彼得·布坎南（Peter Buchanan）的介绍性文章之后，介绍了皮亚诺从1989年至2000年的项目—城市工程，例如Postdamer Platz 总体规划，阿姆斯特丹的科学博物馆，鹿特丹和悉尼的高层建筑，著名的Beyeler基金会和新喀里多尼亚的Jean Marie Tjibaou文化中心。所有项目都得到了全面的展示，包括建筑物的彩色摄影，项目背景和细节以及建筑制图和草图。伦佐·皮亚诺建筑工作室的设计特点是对场地和当地传统的敏感性，以及将传统材料和技术与最先进技术相结合的方式。

伦佐·皮亚诺在第五卷作品集中表示，正如他在前四卷中所言，他不遵循形式或理论，也不限于个人习惯用法。取而代之的是，他关注特定情况和时机的细节与潜力，应对方案的挑战，经常将技术推到当前的极限之外，并始终对建筑物所在地的城市结构做出敏感的反应。《作品全集》的前四卷追溯了他的早期职业生涯，从他与罗杰斯和彼得·赖斯的早期合作，到1981年建筑工作室的成立，一直到1995年关西机场的竣工。第五册包括皮亚诺的最新建筑项目，同时介绍了他工作的持续复杂性。其中最主要的是达拉斯的纳舍尔收藏，美国亚特兰大的伍德拉夫艺术中心扩建，日本东京的梅森·爱马仕以及澳大利亚悉尼的奥罗拉广场办公室和公寓楼。与往期一样，该书还将包括“进行中的项目”，以展示建筑工作室活动的多样性，具体的项目有英国的伦敦桥塔。

This first of four volumes on the work of Renzo Piano, shows key buildings and projects from the architect's early career as well as from the Building Workshop. It examines the evolution of his work, his working methods, his early mentors and his architectural development. Presentations of some of his most significant buildings and projects are included.

This second volume on Renzo Piano provides a study of the architect's working method, followed by a presentation of his building projects from 1987-1993. In an interview with the author, Piano discusses his early career, his attitude toward technology and his continuing evolution of what the author has termed a "natural architecture". Many of the completed buildings featured in the book are located in and around Piano's home town of Genoa, from the structures associated with the 1992 Expo in the old docks to the ground-hugging form of his own laboratory in Vesima.

This third volume closes poignantly with the completion of Piano's most monumental and extraordinary work, Kansai Airport. An introductory essay, "From Pompidou to Kansai", reviews the full scope of his career. The most recent Renzo Piano Building Workshop projects are also included. These are described and illustrated with photographs and drawings which chart their development through design and construction stages, to completion. The last section of the book is dedicated exclusively to Kansai, describing the background to its design and construction, as well as a "walkthrough" that enables the reader to experience the building in a direct way.

This fourth volume on Renzo Piano provides a study of the architect's working method, in particular his regard for context. Peter Buchanan's introductory essay is followed by a presentation of his projects from 1989 to 2000 - which range from urban works such as the Postdamer Platz masterplan, a science museum in Amsterdam and high-rise towers in Rotterdam and Sydney, to the acclaimed Beyeler Foundation and the Jean Marie Tjibaou Cultural Centre in New Caledonia. All projects are illustrated comprehensively, featuring colour photography of the buildings, their contexts and their detailing, as well as line drawings and sketches. The Renzo Piano Building Workshop is characterised by its sensitivity to site and local tradition as well as by its combination of traditional materials and techniques with those from the cutting edge of technology.

In Volume Five, Renzo Piano shows, as he has in the previous four volumes, that Piano follows no fashions of form or theory, nor is he limited to a personal idiom. Instead he concerns himself with the specifics and potential of a particular situation and moment, meeting the challenges of the programme, often pushing technology beyond its present limits, and always responding sensitively to the urban fabric of the building's site. The first four volumes of the Complete Works have traced Piano's career from his early collaborations with Rogers and Peter Rice, and the formation of the Building Workshop in 1981, to the completion of Kansai Airport in 1995. This fifth volume will include Piano's latest buildings, which illustrate the continuing complexity of his work. Chief amongst these are the Nasher Collection in Dallas, the Woodruff Arts Centre Expansion in Atlanta, USA, Maison Hermes in Tokyo, Japan, and the Aurora Place Office and Apartment Towers in Sydney, Australia. As before, the book will also include 'work in progress', to demonstrate the full diversity of the Building Workshop's activities. This includes the London Bridge Tower, UK.

推荐理由

Reason for Recommendation 

这里的好几卷书，都值得读者一看。作者深入研究了每个项目的细节，并详尽阐述了他的设计方式。如果您对伦佐·皮亚诺的设计方式感兴趣，这些书将提供给读者很好的见解。

These come in several volumes, all are good. The author goes deep into the specifics of each project and examines the approach rigorously. If you are interested in how other architects work, these books give absolute insight.

50/60/70 Iconic Australian Houses

Karen McCartney

简介

Description 

从十九世纪50年代到70年代，劳埃德·赖特（Lloyd Wright），格罗皮乌斯（Gropius）和范德罗（van der Rohe）的作品极大地影响了一代年轻的澳大利亚建筑师，他们在工作中采用了现代主义原则。卡伦·麦卡特尼（Karen McCartney）在“澳大利亚图标房：三个十年的家庭建筑”中，展示了这一时期的15个重要实例，每个实例均由不同的建筑师设计，结合了出色的建筑原理和室内装饰。详细的介绍将读者引入了这一时期的社会，历史和建筑背景，然后以知识丰富且引人入胜的风格分别详尽阐述了每个选定的房屋。在每个示例中，都讨论了建筑师与所有者之间的关系，以及建筑物与场地，材料和建筑细节的联系。作者采访了许多建筑师和业主的个人见解，每项研究都包括室内装饰的特色以及对标志性家具，配件和织物的设计师和制造商的讨论。“ Iconic Australian Houses”以全景和精美的惊人摄影展示了其特色。这三十年来的房屋是澳大利亚建筑史上很重要的一部分，这本书提醒人们必须将其保存为文化文物。

From the 1950s to the 1970s, the work of Lloyd Wright, Gropius and van der Rohe strongly influenced a generation of young Australian architects, who adopted modernist principles in their work. In "Iconic Australian Houses: Three Decades of Domestic Architecture", Karen McCartney presents 15 significant examples of homes from this period, each designed by a different architect, that combine outstanding architectural principles and authentic interior decor.A detailed introduction places the period in social, historical and architectural context, before each of the selected homes is individually reviewed in an informed and engaging style. In each example the relationship between the architect and owner is discussed, as is the linking of the building to its site, materials and architectural detailing. The author has interviewed many architects and owners for their personal insights. Each study includes a feature on the interior decoration and a discussion of designers and manufacturers of iconic furniture, fittings and fabrics. "Iconic Australian Houses" features stunning photography, both panoramic and detailed, throughout. The homes from these three decades from a significant part of Australian architectural history and this book are a timely reminder of the need to preserve them as cultural artefacts.
