Download or read book Edge of Order written by Daniel Libeskind and published by Clarkson Potter. This book was released on 2018-11-27 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning tour of the work of internationally known architect Daniel Libeskind and an investigation of a master artist's creative process. Daniel Libeskind is one of the foremost architects of our time, a self-proclaimed rebel celebrated for innovative, site-conscious designs, including the Jewish Museum Berlin and New York's World Trade Center Redevelopment. He has also emerged as one of architecture's most visible public ambassadors. In Edge of Order, Libeskind opens the door to his unique creative process, guiding us through a selection of his projects never before collected--both built and unrealized, major commissions and unexpected favorites--and revealing how he arrived at their designs through text and a rich array of visuals, including drawings, plans, and photographs. With a voracious appetite for culture and history, and an encyclopedic memory, Libeskind draws on everything from Greek mythology to Emily Dickinson to the Marx Brothers to explain the way he thinks about buildings and cities. Far more than a monograph, Edge of Order is both an essential document of Libeskind's remarkable career and an intimate portrait of an artist that will encourage creative people in any field to discover new points of inspiration.

Book Synopsis Jean-Louis Deniot by : Diane Dorrans Saeks
Download or read book Jean-Louis Deniot written by Diane Dorrans Saeks and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book on the work of a designer whose refined classical interiors are widely desired and emulated as the epitome of French style. Honored as one of the top designers by all the international design magazines and universally admired by design editors, Jean-Louis Deniot is in demand. His updated classical approach now graces interiors in Paris, the French countryside, Moscow, India, New York, Chicago, L.A., and beyond—and his legacy is already being compared to that of design greats such as Jacques Grange and Alberto Pinto. Deniot is an architect first, ensuring that the interior architecture of his rooms is harmonious before giving a neoclassical approach to the decor. He brings education, logic, and design history to his work, with one eye looking at the most refined style of French eighteenth century and one eye on the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. His mix is highly individual and includes contemporary art and custom-made furniture, yet his rooms always look comfortable and are never overly formal or trendy. This book demonstrates a new, sophisticated classical style that is changing the scene for international design and offering inspiration and ideas to decorators, homeowners, and antiques enthusiasts.

With sensitivity to the surrounding landscape, Steven Harris Architects designs spaces that are custom-tailored to their clients' daily lives and experiences. His dining rooms are not aggrandizements of tradition, they are places to eat, to gather, or even work; his entry halls are not the primary places of arrival, but rather the final segments of a long trajectory that begins when the resident turns off the main road or exits the elevator. True Life, the firm's first monograph, showcases an exceptional range of residential work from the past twenty-five years. Organized by the activities that propel their designsdine, lounge, study, play, sleep, and so onit focuses on people rather than objects. The firms spaces are not meant to set lifestyle changes into motion, but rather cater to those routines already in progress. Herein lies the genius of the work: they let the client speak for the house, not the house for the client. A foreword by writer A.M. Homes places Steven Harris Architects in the context of contemporary architecture and speaks to the understated elegance of the firm's designs.
Book Synopsis Houses: Atelier AM by : Alexandra Misczynski
Download or read book Houses: Atelier AM written by Alexandra Misczynski and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following up on their much-heralded first volume of interiors, this new publication presents the next evolution of Atelier AM--virtuosos of mixing antiques and museum-quality artworks with pedigreed design. "Alexandra and Michael Misczynski, the wife-and-husband team behind the Los Angeles-based AD100 design firm Atelier AM, are standard-bearers for the...concepts of quality and connoisseurship. In an image-driven culture, where novelty and extravagance so often masquerade as virtues, the Misczynskis remain steadfast in their belief that true style can emerge only from substance." --Architectural Digest Atelier AM has been the go-to designers for true connoisseurs since they opened their office in 2002. Taking on very few projects each year, each Atelier AM home is a complete masterwork--where design and art are fully integrated into the architecture and landscape for a rich and immersive experience. Eight new homes are featured in this new volume, and each features Atelier AM's signature reverence for patina mixed with the new: reclaimed wood beams and well-loved vintage modern furniture pieces mingles comfortably with century-old artifacts and antiques. The projects in this volume show a deep understanding of design history--from Spanish Colonial and English Classicism to contemporary. The mix of modern and ancient acknowledges and celebrates both the past and the future of design. With photography by their long-term collaborator Francois Halard, and insightful texts by Mayer Rus, Houses: Atelier AM promises to be as rich and satisfying as an Atelier AM home itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first piece of known typewriter art was a "drawing" of a butterfly by Flora F. F.

This beautiful book brings together some of the best examples by typewriter artists around the world. As well as key historical work from the Bauhaus, H. N. Werkman, and the concrete poets, there is art by contemporary practitioners, both typewriter artists who use the keyboard as a "palette" to create artworks, and artists/typographers using the form as a compositional device. The book will appeal to graphic designers, typographers, artists, and illustrators, and anyone fascinated by predigital technology.
Book Synopsis John Barman Interior Design by : John Barman
Download or read book John Barman Interior Design written by John Barman and published by The Monacelli Press, LLC. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-awaited first monograph from the AD100 New York City and Miami-based interior designer recognized for his considerable knowledge of 20th-century design, furniture, and art. From demolishing walls in favor of a floor-to-ceiling, canary-yellow sliding door that opens two rooms to one spectacular Miami Beach view, to adding a sense of translucency to a regal 19th-century Upper East Side townhouse by dividing interior rooms with steel-framed glass doors, John Barman demonstrates in full force—with this book—the clear-cut, decisive blend of glamour and functionality that has won his firm accolades over the past 15 years. At once a classicist and a modernist, John Barman favors handsome, crisp lines and the unrestrained use of strong, resonant color. He can be seen taking decorative cues from contemporary art collections (a palette of warm beige and gold to showcase an Ed Ruscha, or colors and forms inspired by an Alex Katz portrait), seamlessly incorporating antique Persian rugs or Indian artifacts, or combining custom pieces with rich historical references to complement an enviable collection of French art deco furnishings. The fifteen residences featured in these photographs show the designer’s full range of talent with color and texture, as well as his masterful ability to honor history and formality while resisting the expected. Chic New York City penthouses, townhouses, and lofts showcase Barman’s distinctive methods of arranging rooms to facilitate meaningful interaction; polished white flooring and reflective finishes bring ocean light and color into seaside Miami homes; a traditional Shingle Style summer house takes unexpected inspiration from the Indo-Saracenic Royal Pavilion in Brighton, England; and a converted barn in Connecticut is midcentury, California modern rather than country-rustic cliché. Unexpected materials appear in new ways throughout—cobalt blue lacquer on the underside of a spiral oak-and-glass staircase; pink metallic leather and striped velvet update traditional chairs. Whether an open kitchen for an avid home cook, or a streamlined bar wall for cocktail parties, minimalist black and white or teal flocked velvet walls, each space reveals Barman’s signature sophisticated style, bold new ideas, and strong point of view.
