First Edition. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dw. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new and still in the publisher's protective shrink-wrap.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 179 pages; Physical desc. : 179p : 430ill. (260col. ). ; 28 cm. Notes: Translation of: Dominique Perrault : progetti e architetture. C2000. Editor Giovanna Crespi; translation Christopher Evans. Translated from Italian. Audience: General; Professional and scholarly. Subjects: Perrault, Dominique. Studio Dominique Perrault, Architect. AMB: Individual architects - BIC. Summary: Dominique Perrault, born in 1953, is one of the leading figures of contemporary architecture. In addition to the French National Library, one of the most important buildings realized in Paris in the 1990s, Perrault's career features other works of international importance, suchas the Berlin Velodrome and Olympic swimming-pool (1992-9), where he masterfully succeeded in blending the architectural structures with the natural environment. In the area of town-planning, Perrault has conceived designs for Nantes, Bordeaux, Berlin and Caen; he also designs furniture and researches new building materials. Major current projects by Perrault are under way for the extension of the Court of Justice of the European Community (Luxemburg) and the multimedia library of Venissieux. This monograph presents, in chronological order, the most important achievements of Perrault, along with several projects for invited international competition. Each project has a complete project description and it is illustrated with photographs and drawings. The illustrations and the concise critical essay by Laurent Stalder should make this book an invaluable tool for discovering and understanding the work of one the most appealing contemporary architects at work today. 1 Kg.…

First Edition. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new and still in the publisher's protective shrink-wrap.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 239 pages; Physical desc.: 239, [1] p. : ill. (some col.) ; 29 cm. Subject: Kishi, Waro, 1950-Architecture --Japan --20th century. Architecture -- Japan --21st century. Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 236-239). Summary: Born in 1950 and currently based in Kyoto, Waro Kishi belongs to the generation of Japanese architects that emerged after Tadao Ando (an influence that Kishi readily acknowledges), though he remains a self-described contrarian, preferring the works of Marcel Breuer and Richard Neutra when others were embracing Post-Modernism. And yet, Kishi has a sensibility all his own, using primarily glass and steel rather than the massive expanses of concrete in Ando's work, resulting in more delicate and subtle designs. This heavily illustrated overview surveys Kishi's substantial oeuvre of detached houses as well as landed public buildings and urban designs for constricted spaces. 1 Kg. …

Good condition with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Dust jacket shows gentle wear. -- A revisionist architectural biography that strips away the popular myth of Gaudí as an isolated, mystical "God's Architect". The book argues that Gaudí was deeply embedded in the reactionary and conservative political climate of late 19th-century Catalonia. Lahuerta challenges the romanticised view of Gaudí, placing his avant-garde forms within a very specific social and ideological framework. Political Reaction: The author analytically connects Gaudí's architecture to the "Renaixença" (Catalan Rebirth) and the rise of a conservative, Catholic bourgeoisie that sought to use art as a bulwark against the perceived threats of anarchism and secularism. The Patronage of Güell: A major focus is the relationship between Gaudí and his primary patron, Eusebi Güell. Lahuerta argues that projects like Park Güell were not just whimsical parks but were intended as exclusive, ideologically charged enclaves for the elite. The Sagrada Família: The book describes the great cathedral not merely as a religious masterpiece, but as a "temple of atonement" aimed at purging the sins of a modern, industrialised Barcelona. Aesthetic Sources: Lahuerta looks past the usual "nature-inspired" explanations for Gaudí's curves, instead finding sources in the decorative arts, traditional Catalan craftsmanship, and the militant Catholicism of the period. Juan José Lahuerta, a Professor of the History of Art at the Barcelona School of Architecture, is recognised for his rigorous and often provocative approach to Modernisme. The book is highly praised for its "de-mythologisation" of Gaudí. Reviewers in The Journal of Architecture and Architectural History noted that Lahuerta's work is essential for understanding the hostility and social tension that actually surrounded Gaudí's works during his lifetime. The richly illustrated book features rare archival photographs and detailed floor plans that support the author's historical arguments. Significance: It is a staple text for students of Modern European History and Architectural Theory, moving the conversation from "Gaudí the Genius" to "Gaudí the Citizen.".…
