Book excerpt: The prolific architect, designer and Domus editor reinvented the look of everyday life from the spoon to the cathedral With more than 100 buildings and scores of design objects to his name, Italian architect and designer Gio Ponti revolutionized postwar architecture and opened up prospects for new ways of life. Gio Ponti: Archi-Designer covers Ponti's entire career from 1921 to 1978, highlighting the many aspects of his work: from mechanical production to handicraft, from architecture to industrial design, from furniture to lighting, from the creation of magazines to his forays into the fields of glass, ceramics and goldsmithing. His work exemplified a certain tendency identified by his fellow architect Ernesto Rogers in 1952, an interest in designing dal cucchiaio alla città ("from the spoon to the town")--giving equal attention and applying the same innovative design thinking to small spoon and skyscraper alike. Featuring more than 500 pieces, this book traces Ponti's multidisciplinary journeys through architecture, furniture and design in his work for private homes and public buildings, including universities and cathedrals. Regarded as one of the most influential architects and designers of the 20th century, Giovanni "Gio" Ponti (1891-1979) established his architectural firm in 1921 and was extraordinarily prolific from that point on, working as an architect, industrial designer, artist, furniture designer, teacher and writer. In 1928 he founded the magazine Domus, which he would direct for most of his life, helping to spread his vision of a revitalized modern aesthetics in Italian industrial production, architecture, interior design and the decorative arts.

Book excerpt: This is the first complete survey and thematic profile of one of the most prolific and accomplished Italian architects of the century. From the Richard-Ginori chinaware and the founding of Domus magazine in the 1920s and '3Os, to the Pirelli tower erected in Milan in the 1950s to the "facade" architecture of the '70s, Gio Ponti has been a major force in the shaping of twentieth-century Italian design. The Complete Work presents a fully illustrated decade-by-decade account of Ponti's vast output in interior and industrial design, decorative arts, and architecture. It describes his powerful influence on generations of Italian designers, his contributions to Italy's urban culture, and his role as a propagandist and editor. Gio Ponti was not only an architect but a poet, painter, polemicist, and designer of exhibitions, theater costumes, Venini glassware, Arthur Krupp tableware, Cassina furniture, lighting fixtures, and ocean liner interiors. He is perhaps best known as the architect of Milan's Pirelli tower, at one time the tallest building in Europe, and for his "Super-leggera" chair which was first manufactured in the '50s and has become classic because of its almost universal use in Italian restaurants. Above all, Ponti was responsible for the renewal of Italian architecture and decorative arts. Drawing upon the legacy of the Viennese Secession and the Wiener Werkstatte, he transformed "classical" language into a rationalist vocabulary. The entire photographic archive of Ponti's studio, together with his unpublished writings, were made available for the first time for the preparation of this book. There are many new photographs of his work and a broad selection of his letters, diaries and essays. A biographical profile, bibliography, and chronologies of works, exhibitions, and sales round out this stunning book Lisa Licitra Ponti is curator of the Ponti Archives, She is also a well-known art and architecture critic. She collaborated with her father from 1940 until his death in 1979.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il libro celebra, attraverso un duplice percorso narrativo, l'Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Stoccolma, progettato e arredato da Gio Ponti su commissione di Carlo Maurilio Lerici. I contributi degli autori si pongono l'obiettivo di approfondire gli aspetti legati alla committenza, alla progettazione e realizzazione dell'edificio e del design degli interni. Corredano il volume una selezione di immagini tratte dall'archivio storico dell'Istituto e un nuovo reportage fotografico sugli elementi architettonici e di design che connotano l'edificio. Se l'interesse di Ponti nei confronti della Svezia è argomento noto (si pensi agli spazi dedicati al design svedese nelle pagine della rivista «Domus» sin dai primi anni Cinquanta), risulta interessante approfondire e trovare risposte inerenti le dinamiche che hanno vivacizzato la realizzazione della struttura. Gio Ponti supera infatti l'idea originaria dell'architetto svedese Ture Wennerholm, per dar vita a un progetto dove gli spazi, sebbene organizzati in base alla loro funzione, si susseguono in un gioco armonioso di linee spezzate e alternanze cromatiche. Lo affiancheranno in questa impresa Pier Luigi Nervi e Ferruccio Rossetti. Gio Ponti dà vita a un progetto "classico moderno", dove arte e architettura si fondono, dimostrando di aver superato i limiti dettati dalle mode del tempo. E pone così le basi di un nuovo corso nelle relazioni culturali tra Italia e Svezia.

Book excerpt: The work of Italian architect, artist, planner, craftsman, designer, and visionary Gio Ponti (1891-1979) is pivotal in the history of twentieth-century artistic culture. This remarkable book offers an extensive selection of Ponti's projects - over 150 of them - accompanied by designs, sketches, plans, photographs, and Ponti's own copious writings. Following an initial classical period of activity, Ponti went on to champion the importance of the individual during the overwhelming surge of mass-production promoted by Modernism. Ponti's writings in Domus during his long tenure as editor, and his designs for ceramics manufacturer Richard-Ginori, Alfa Romeo, the furniture company Cassina, fixtures-maker American Standard, and many other manufacturers, all testify to his vision for a modern society in which good design was available to the common person, and life, art, and architecture were inseparable. Gio Ponti also presents Ponti's architecture, including the famous Montecatini Building in Milan (1936), the interior of the luxury liner Andrea Doria (1951), the Pirelli Tower (1956), the Museum of Modern Art in Denver (1972), and numerous other residential and office buildings, churches, retail spaces, villas, and universities that Ponti designed between the early 1920s and 1978.

Book excerpt: Radical. Visionary. Poetic. Inside Utopia shows the future of living that architects and designers have envisioned. Spectacular and reflective, unpretentious and efficient: the breathtaking Elrod House by John Lautner; the Lagerfeld Apartment near Cannes that seems like a set from a science fiction film; Palais Bulles in France with its organic and unique architecture. These interiors welcome habitation and spark curiosity while embodying the foundations of minimalism and bygone visions of the future. Inside Utopia delves into the rhyme and reason behind past designs that we still interact with today. The architects, the owners, and the craftsmen like Gio Ponti or Bruce Goff who work behind the scenes created amorphous interiors that invite the mind to wander. At the time they were futuristic, confident, utopian, idealistic-- we may not realize it, but they have shaped our current living concepts, and even now, they inspire us anew. Previously it has been difficult to attain access to these preserved interiors, but Inside Utopia unearths what was before unseen.

Download or read book Gaudí, 1852-1926 written by Rainer Zerbst and published by Taschen America Llc. This book was released on 2005 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gaudí's complete works: The inspiring, visionary buildings by the "Dante of architecture" Anyone who visits Barcelona today will come across the works of Antoni Gaudí--the architect who has attracted art-lovers from all over the world to Spain. It was here, in the capital of Catalonia, that the famous master of architecture produced nearly all of his works, including villas for the well-to-do bourgeoisie, the expansive Güell Park (which today is open to the public), and the famous church designed in honour of the Holy Family--a project which was begun over 100 years ago and has yet to be completed. Antoni Gaudí's life was full of contradictions. As a young man he joined the Catalonian nationalist movement and was critical of the church; toward the end of his life he devoted himself completely to the construction of one single church. As a young man Gaudí had a liking for the glamour of social life and the looks of a dandy; in old age, on the other hand, he lived a spartan life. Gaudí never married and devoted his life entirely to his art: architecture. His works have been acclaimed as "soothing oases in a desert of functional buildings," as "precious gems in the uniform grey of rows of houses," and the master himself was acclaimed as the "Dante of architecture". This book provides a sweeping study of his entire career, presenting his complete works via texts and illustrations.
