They are particularly beloved for their residential work--their country homes, town houses, and condos--but are masters of a wide range of architectural forms. The book considers, in richly detailed and exhaustive photography, the stunning work of the firm, from Charles Gwathmey's first project, a beach house for his parents in Amagansett when just out of school--a project that surprised and stunned the design world--to the firm's most recent creations across the globe. Included here are contemporary masterworks such as the Ishraq Tower in Dubai, apartments and town houses in New York, the W Hotel in Hoboken, an oceanfront home in Malibu, and the MOCA North Miami + Expansion in Miami, among many others. This book is a thrilling exploration of sumptuous apartments, cutting-edge homes, and innovative office and apartment towers designed and built over the course of a meteoric career.

Download or read book Five Architects written by Museum of Modern Art (New York, N.Y.) and published by New York : Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1975 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five Architects, originally published in 1975, grew out of a meeting of the CASE group (Conference of Architects for the Study of the Environment) held at the Museum of Modern Art in 1969. The purpose of this gathering was to exhibit and criticize the work of five architects -- Eisenman, Graves, Gwathmey, Hejduk, and Meier -- who constituted a New York school, and who are now among the most influential architects working today.The buildings shown here have more diversity than one might expect from a school, but share certain properties of form, scale, and treatment of material. Collectively, their work makes a modest claim: it is only architecture, not the salvation of man and the redemption of the earth.Providing complete drawings and photographic documentation, this collection also includes a comparative critique by Kenneth Frampton, an Introduction by Colin Rowe that suggests a still broader context for the work as a whole, and two short texts in which individual positions are outlined. Now back in,print, Five Architects serves as a reference to the early work of some of America's most important architects and provides us with a glimpse back at the direction of architecture as they saw it over twenty years ago.

Download or read book Gwathmey Siegel Buildings and Projects, 2002-2012 written by Brad Collins and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sumptuous treatment of the architecture of modernist masters Charles Gwathmey and Robert Siegel, whose apartments, houses, and commercial buildings are gleaming beacons of clarity and refinement. Quintessential modernists, the principals of Gwathmey Siegel have championed an aesthetic that is at once refined and lyrical, and ultimately richly enticing. Clientele of the legendary firm includes a virtual who’s who of the entertainment and business worlds, and with good reason, as vibrantly evidenced here. Rizzoli’s third monograph on this distinguished New York firm presents the exquisite residential work for which the firm is so justifiably renowned—from private apartments and three residential skyscrapers in Manhattan to homes in Aspen, Colorado, a ranch in Texas, the new Setai Hotel on Fifth Avenue in New York, and the new W Hotel in downtown Manhattan. Also shown, and representing a large part of the firm’s creative output of the last decade, are cultural and institutional works, notably the U.S. mission to the United Nations.

Book Synopsis Five Houses, Ten Details by : Edward R. Ford
Download or read book Five Houses, Ten Details written by Edward R. Ford and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2012-04-17 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward Ford's forty years of practicing and teaching architecture have focused on one area: the architectural detail. Yet, despite two hugely influential books (The Details of Modern Architecture, volumes 1 and 2), numerous articles, and lectures given from Vancouver to Vienna, there are two questions Ford has, remarkably, never answered: "What is a detail?" and more importantly, "What is a good detail?" Ford is an architect as well as a writer, so it is not surprising that rather than answering these questions in a third book, he spent six years on the design and construction of a house. Building it was not an exercise in the application of ideas about detail; it was, rather, a mechanism for answering those two simple questions.

Download or read book Building Up and Tearing Down written by Paul Goldberger and published by Random House Digital, Inc.. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PAUL GOLDBERGER ON THE AGE OF ARCHITECTURE The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao by Frank Gehry, the CCTV Headquarters by Rem Koolhaas, the Getty Center by Richard Meier, the Times Building by Renzo Piano: Pulitzer Prize–winning critic Paul Goldberger’s tenure atThe New Yorkerhas documented a captivating era in the world of architecture, one in which larger-than-life buildings, urban schemes, historic preservation battles, and personalities have commanded an international stage. Goldberger’s keen observations and sharp wit make him one of the most insightful and passionate architectural voices of our time. In this collection of fifty-seven essays, the critic Tracy Kidder called “America’s foremost interpreter of public architecture” ranges from Havana to Beijing, from Chicago to Las Vegas, dissecting everything from skyscrapers by Norman Foster and museums by Tadao Ando to airports, monuments, suburban shopping malls, and white-brick apartment houses. This is a comprehensive account of the best—and the worst—of the “age of architecture.” On Norman Foster: Norman Foster is the Mozart of modernism. He is nimble and prolific, and his buildings are marked by lightness and grace. He works very hard, but his designs don’t show the effort. He brings an air of unnerving aplomb to everything he creates—from skyscrapers to airports, research laboratories to art galleries, chairs to doorknobs. His ability to produce surprising work that doesn’t feel labored must drive his competitors crazy. On the Westin Hotel: The forty-five-story Westin is the most garish tall building that has gone up in New York in as long as I can remember. It is fascinating, if only because it makes Times Square vulgar in a whole new way, extending up into the sky. It is not easy, these days, to go beyond the bounds of taste. If the architects, the Miami-based firm Arquitectonica, had been trying to allude to bad taste, one could perhaps respect what they came up with. But they simply wanted, like most architects today, to entertain us. On Mies van der Rohe: Mies’s buildings look like the simplest things you could imagine, yet they are among the richest works of architecture ever created. Modern architecture was supposed to remake the world, and Mies was at the center of the revolution, but he was also a counterrevolutionary who designed beautiful things. His spare, minimalist objects are exquisite. He is the only modernist who created a language that ranks with the architectural languages of the past, and while this has sometimes been troubling for his reputation . . . his architectural forms become more astonishing as time goes on.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A superb visual reference to the principles of architecture Now including interactive CD-ROM! For more than thirty years, the beautifully illustrated Architecture: Form, Space, and Order has been the classic introduction to the basic vocabulary of architectural design. The updated Third Edition features expanded sections on circulation, light, views, and site context, along with new considerations of environmental factors, building codes, and contemporary examples of form, space, and order. This classic visual reference helps both students and practicing architects understand the basic vocabulary of architectural design by examining how form and space are ordered in the built environment.? Using his trademark meticulous drawing, Professor Ching shows the relationship between fundamental elements of architecture through the ages and across cultural boundaries. By looking at these seminal ideas, Architecture: Form, Space, and Order encourages the reader to look critically at the built environment and promotes a more evocative understanding of architecture. In addition to updates to content and many of the illustrations, this new edition includes a companion CD-ROM that brings the book's architectural concepts to life through three-dimensional models and animations created by Professor Ching.
