Softcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. Monograph, manifesto, travelog, history, autobiography, novel--"A Guide to Ecstacity" is a bit of all of these things. The brainchild of British architectural visionary Nigel Coates, it asks us to reimagine the city as a dynamic hybrid of inventive design and cross-cultural political empowerment. Produced in the spirit of Rem Koolhaas's "S, M, L, XL," it is a palimpsest of the real and the hypothetical, with fragments of seven cities from around the world--Cairo, London, Mumbai, New York, Rio, Rome, and Tokyo--woven together into one multifaceted urban fabric. In addition to extensive documentation of architecture and product design by Coates's own groundbreaking firm--Branson Coates Architecture--"A Guide to Ecstacity" features projects by Norman Foster, Future Systems, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, Daniel Libeskind, Philippe Starck, and Bernard Tschumi. Presented in a remarkable package created by the design firm Why Not Associates in close collaboration with Coates, these varied works form a fascinating kaleidoscope of metropolitan culture and suggest how the city of tomorrow might be transformed by a proactive architectural community that embraces the challenge of designing for a multicultural world.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. 112 S. Gebraucht, aber gut erhalten. - ENGLISCH - Of all the designers who came to fame in the 1980s, few have described a trajectory that more closely reflects the decade's obsession with design than Nigel Coates. In 1980, Coates was a tutor at the Architectural Association in London with not one built project, apart from the interior of his own flat, to his name. Like others of his generation of architects, he had graduated during the recessionary 1970s to discover that opportunities to build were few and far between. A life of teaching, theory and "paper architecture" seemed a lot more attractive than grubbing around for flat conversions or toiling in the offices of one of the bigger and duller practices. By the end of the booming 1980s, however, Coates had a twenty-strong practice of his own, a partner, Doug Branson, and a string of completed projects to his name, the most extraordinary of which - Caffè Bongo, the Metropole restaurant, the Bohemia jazz club and L'Arca di Noè - were built not in Britain but Japan. When Coates said, "We're more an architectural airline than a conventional office" and dressed his staff in air crew uniforms for an office-opening party, it was with good reason. He might not have been the only designer to export his talents to a Japanese market hungry for Western authenticity in the middle of the 1980s, but he was the only British architect who had to travel to Tokyo to convince his countrymen that his architectural visions amounted to anything more than a portfolio of fancy but unbuildable drawings. In the process of commenting on the culture he found there, he had produced some of the most remarkable and widely published interiors of the 1980s. As Architectural Record observed in 1987: "Though not well known outside fashionable London circles, the 38-year-old Englishman has succeeded in outshining his European colleagues by pinching the very nerve of Tokyo itself." His admiration for Vivienne Westwood, his projects for Katharine Hamnett and Jasper Conran and the regularity with which he appears, fashionably kitted out, in the pages of Vogue, Tat 1er, Arena or The Face suggest, to the more earnest end of the profession, an architect less preoccupied with matters of substance than with image.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Irreverent and iconoclastic, Nigel Coates has been agitating the architectural scene for over 40 years. In this warm and compelling autobiography, he explores the highs and lows of life at the cutting edge of architecture.Coates' work collides at the intersection between bodies, sexuality and design. As 'artist-architect' and polymath, he has designed buildings, exhibitions, interiors and products. He is also known for his idiosyncratic and dynamic drawings. From the 1980s onwards he captured the media spotlight, and was as likely to appear in Vogue as the Architectural Review.His portfolio includes work for leading brands, such as Liberty, Katharine Hamnett and Jasper Conran, and destinatio.…

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. The first book to look architectural narrative in the eye Since the early eighties, many architects have used the term narrative to describe their work. To architects the enduring attraction of narrative is that it offers a way of engaging with the way a city feels and works. Rather than reducing architecture to mere style or an overt emphasis on technology, it foregrounds the experiential dimension of architecture. Narrative Architecture explores the potential for narrative as a way of interpreting buildings from ancient history through to the present, deals with architectural background, analysis and practice as well as its future development. Authored by Nigel Coates, a foremost figure in the field of narrative architecture, the book is one of the first to address this subject directly Features architects as diverse as William Kent, Antoni Gaud, Eero Saarinen, Ettore Sottsass, Superstudio, Rem Koolhaas, and FAT to provide an overview of the work of NATO and Coates, as well as chapters on other contemporary designers Includes over 120 colour photographs Signposting narrative's significance as a design approach that can aid architecture to remain relevant in this complex, multi-disciplinary and multi-everything age, Narrative Architecture is a must-read for anyone with an interest in architectural history and theory.…
