The biographical appendix covers all of the century's greatest architects, including today's new talents. This special expanded edition, presented in two volumes packaged in a slipcase, brings our classic title up to date with coverage up until the present day, more color photos, more architect biographies, and new chapters on recent architectural trends and movements.
Un edificio di Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) è sempre riconoscibile e richiama un'intera epoca. I progetti di Wright si caratterizzano per la loro adattabilità organica all'ambiente e per l'uso di acciaio e vetro, che rendono fluido il passaggio tra interno ed esterno. Queste opere annunciano l'inizio della modernità e rendono il loro creatore immortale. Questa accurata compilazione presenta in un volume chiaro e accessibile le opere principali dell'immenso e innovativo lavoro del più famoso architetto americano. La raccolta, basata sull'accesso illimitato agli archivi di Frank Lloyd Wright a Taliesin, in Arizona, copre l'intero spettro della produzione di Wright, includendo anche progetti mai realizzati. La mostra spazia dalle prime case di prateria, passando per la casa concettuale "usonica" incarnata da Fallingwater, fino ai progetti progressivi di "architettura vivente" e opere successive come il Guggenheim Museum di New York e la visione fantastica di una migliore futuro nella "città vivente". L'autore Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer, allievo di Wright negli anni '50, presenta ricerche recenti su Wright e condivide le sue intuizioni su questi traguardi architettonici.
Les meubles des designers les plus éminents de notre siècle.
Status symbols that define the spirit of the age Designers of genius. Henry van de Velde, Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Josef Hoffmann. Le Corbusier and Emile Jacques Ruhlmann. Charles Eames, Ettore Sottsas and Philippe Starck. At their hands furniture came into its own. The twentieth century transformed interiors into sets - and on those sets the creations of these designers played the star parts. This is a book about status symbols that express the character of their owners but, more than that, define the spirit of the age.
