Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architect, designer, and theorist Josef Frank (1885-1967) was known throughout Europe in the 1920s as one of the continent's leading modernists. Yet despite his important contributions to the development of modernism, Frank has been largely excluded from histories of the movement. Josef Frank: Life and Work is the first study that comprehensively explores the life, ideas, and designs of this complex and controversial figure. Educated in Vienna just after the turn of the century, Frank became the leader of the younger generation of architects in Austria after the First World War. But Frank fell from grace when he emerged as a forceful critic of the extremes of modern architecture and design during the early 1930s. Dismissing the demands for a unified modern style, Frank insisted that it was pluralism, not uniformity, that most characterized life in the new machine age. He called instead for a more humane modernism, one that responded to people's everyday needs and left room for sentimentality and historical influences. He was able to put these ideas into practice when, in 1933, he was forced to leave Vienna for Sweden. There his work came to define Swedish (or Scandinavian) modern design. For more than thirty years he was the chief designer for the Stockholm furnishings firm Svenskt Tenn, producing colorful, cozy, and eclectic designs that provided a refreshing alternative to the architectural mainstream of the day and presaged the coming revolt against modernism in the 1960s. In this sensitive study of one of the twentieth century's seminal architects and thinkers, Christopher Long offers new insight into Josef Frank's work and ideas and provides an important contribution to the understanding of modernist culture and its history.

Book excerpt: Josef Frank (1885-1967) ranks among Europe's most significant architects of the twentieth century, and his designs for furniture and textiles have made him one of the eminent figures of modernist interior design. Though there have been many studies of Frank's architecture previously, Josef Frank--Spaces is the first comprehensive book to look specifically at Frank's single-family houses. Architects Mikael Bergquist and Olof Mich lsen explore the evolution of Frank's designs for single-family homes over the years, and they investigate the influences that shaped his work, such as Adolf Loos's "spatial plan" concept, Le Corbusier's ideas, and Hermann Muthesius's groundbreaking book The English House. The authors also look at Frank's architectural concepts of movement and his use of stairs in residential buildings. The book also includes an in-depth examination of six of Frank's houses, including both built projects-- the Villas Cla son and Wehtje in Falsterbo, Sweden, and Villa Beer in Vienna--and unrealized ones--House for Vienna XIII, House MS in Los Angeles, and Fantasy House 9 (Accidental House). This section includes images and plans of each of the houses and a close analysis of their specific characteristics. A complete catalog of Frank's single-family houses rounds out the book. Featuring new material and many previously unpublished images and plans, Josef Frank--Spaces will be the authoritative reference to this renowned architect's contributions to the design of residential dwellings.

Book Synopsis Architect's anti-formalist oeuvre by : Christoph Thun-Hohenstein
Download or read book Architect's anti-formalist oeuvre written by Christoph Thun-Hohenstein and published by Birkhaüser. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mit Josef Frank (1885-1967) widmet sich der Katalog zur Ausstellung im MAK, Wien, einem der bedeutendsten sterreichischen Architekten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Neben dem wegweisenden architektonischen Werk geht es dabei insbesondere um Frank als einem zwar skeptischen und kulturkritischen, aber u erst produktiven Gestalter, dem das internationale Design bis heute wichtige Impulse verdankt. Als auch gegenw rtig noch "zeitgen ssischer" Architekt und "Designer" vertrat Frank einen pragmatischen Gestaltungsansatz und pl dierte f r eine "normale" - aber keinesfalls normative - Architektur und Formgebung. F r Frank standen weniger formale Qualit ten als vielmehr solche des sozialen Erlebens im Vordergrund; seine Inneneinrichtungen und Gebrauchsgegenst nde sollten vor allem in den Dienst der Bequemlichkeit gestellt werden. Gerade heute scheinen Josef Franks Vorstellungen einer ungek nstelten und unpr tenti sen Zweckdienlichkeit, die auf eine eigenst ndig freie, aufgekl rt b rgerliche Wohn- und Lebenskultur jenseits stilistischer Dogmen und modischer Konventionen abzielte, aktueller denn je.

Download or read book Filipinx written by Angela Dimayuga and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her debut cookbook, acclaimed chef Angela Dimayuga shares her passion for Filipino food with home cooks. Filipinx offers 100 deeply personal recipes—many of them dishes that define home for Angela Dimayuga and the more than four million people of Filipino descent in the United States. The book tells the story of how Dimayuga grew up in an immigrant family in northern California, trained in restaurant kitchens in New York City—learning to make everything from bistro fare to Asian-American cuisine—then returned to her roots, discovering in her family’s home cooking the same intense attention to detail and technique she’d found in fine dining. In this book, Dimayuga puts a fresh spin on classics: adobo, perhaps the Filipino dish best known outside the Philippines, is traditionally built on a trinity of soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic—all pantry staples—but add coconut milk, vinegar, and oil, and it turns lush and silky; ribeye steaks bring extra richness to bistek, gilded with butter and a bright splash of lemon and orange juice. These are the punches of flavor and inspired recipes that home cooks have been longing for. A modern, welcoming resource for this essential cuisine, Filipinx shares exciting and approachable recipes everyone will wholeheartedly embrace in their own kitchens.
Book Synopsis Paul T. Frankl and Modern American Design by : Christopher Long
Download or read book Paul T. Frankl and Modern American Design written by Christopher Long and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive view of the life, work, and ideas of one of the creative giants of modern American design Arriving in the United States in 1914, Viennese-born Paul T. Frankl (1886-1958) brought with him an outsider's fresh perspective and an enthusiasm for forging a uniquely American design aesthetic. In the years between the two world wars he, more than any other designer, helped shape the distinctive look of American modernism. This authoritative book draws on an extensive collection of unpublished documents and family papers and photographs to provide the first full account of Frankl's life and ideas. The book also explores the history of modern American design and the extent of Frankl's influence on its trajectory. In the early 1920s, Frankl opened a New York City shop that became an epicenter of American modernism. Over the next decades, his work encompassed everything from individual pieces of furniture and decorative accessories to entire interiors, and his style continuously evolved, from early "Skyscraper" furniture to relaxed and casual designs favored by the Hollywood elite in the 1930s to manufactured pieces for the mass market in the 1950s. The book charts the impact of Frankl's ideas on merchants and consumers, on his fellow designers, and on the changing look of American homes and workplaces. With close to 170 illustrations, Paul T. Frankl and Modern American Design is an essential reference on 20th-century design.
Book Synopsis Jock Peters, Architecture and Design by : Christopher Long
Download or read book Jock Peters, Architecture and Design written by Christopher Long and published by Bauer and Dean Publishers. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholar and historian Christopher Long turns his attention to the little-known German-born architect and designer Jock Peters (1889-1934). This engaging study examines the architect's early development in Germany-Peters's work in Hamburg before World War I and in Berlin after the war-and the influences that shaped his thinking. Professor Long then places Peters's more mature work-created after he immigrated to America in 1922-within the context of the early history of Los Angeles modernism in the 1920s and early 1930s. Of Peters's modern work produced in America, most notable are the interiors he designed for the once-famous Hollander department store in New York City as well as those for Bullock's Wilshire in Los Angeles (the building was recently restored by Southwestern Law School). Both projects brought him international recognition. Peters also designed a dynamic sales office building for the short-lived Maddox Airlines, as well as stores and houses for the developer William Lingenbrink, a major supporter of the burgeoning modernism in Southern California. Aside from his architectural work, Peters designed film sets for Famous Lasky-Players (later Paramount Pictures), working in the famed art department of Hans Dreier. Despite his early death, Peters managed to leave his mark on the modernist landscape in Southern California at a time when the new style was just emerging.The 262 historic photographs, etchings, watercolors, drawings (including floor plans), many in color, create a visually rich study of Peters's work, including his designs for houses, retail spaces, storefronts, furniture, packaging, textiles, and film sets. Much of the material is from the architect's personal archive, still in family hands, and has never before been published.
Book Synopsis Leandro Valencia Locsin by : Jean-Claude Girard
Download or read book Leandro Valencia Locsin written by Jean-Claude Girard and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The largely unknown oeuvre of the Philippine architect Leandro V. Locsin (1928-1994) embodies the search for identity in the built environment. Having completed his studies, Locsin opened his practice in 1953 in the capital Manila which, after the aerial attacks by the Allied forces for the liberation of the Philippines from Japanese occupation, had been almost completely destroyed. The reconstruction, as well as technical innovations and favorable political and economic conditions, made it possible for him to design a wide range and large number of projects, including hotels, commercial buildings, churches, cultural venues, and public buildings. His work combines inspiration from modernism with local traditions and comprises a total of 245 projects, of which more than half were completed. The book presents a selection of the most important buildings and projects.

This book was released on 2021-12-31 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1938, Vienna lost its best and most creative minds. This rupture was manifested in all of the arts and sciences and its mark is felt to this day – not least in the field of furniture design. With inexhaustible creativity the Jewish furniture designers who were forced to flee Vienna continued to work while in exile. They taught at the best universities and spread their ideas and vision throughout the entire world. Their creations became classics of twentieth-century furniture design, the epitome of mid-century modern style. This book honors the memory of the exiled designers with a thorough overview of their work. It details their life stories and their visionary designs, which remain as relevant and contemporary as ever, and brings to light new aspects of the history of Viennese furniture design.
