Libro: HOUSE AND MONUMENTS OF POMPEII (IN/FR/AL) (978-3-8365-5687-3) de Schtze, Sebastian (TASCHEN ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. When the excavations at Pompeii were first placed on a scholarly archaeological footing in the 19th century, brothers Fausto and Felice Niccolini were close at hand and ready to respond. Making use of the newly introduced technique of color lithography, they documented the buildings, frescos, statues, as well as the most ordinary everyday objects, of the city buried in just 24 hours by the catastrophic eruption of Vesuvius and preserved for over 1,600 years under a mantle of volcanic ash. The Niccolinis' goal was to illustrate all aspects of life in the antique city. Their publication, Le case ed i monumenti di Pompei ("The Houses and Monuments of Pompeii"), which was issued in installments between 1854 and 1896 in Naples, presented over 400 color plates providing not only views, maps, and groundplans of the city and its public buildings, but also offered unprecedented access to Pompeii's private residences. They revealed the astonishing painted wall decorations that adorned these long-buried abodes, their intricate works of art, and the practical utensils of everyday use, conjuring up a vivid picture of each house as a real domestic space. In total, the plates illustrated more than 1,000 items, each extensively specified and located for the first time, making the publication a major reference in Pompeii research. In addition, "animated" representations visualized daily life in Pompeii's workshops, taverns, and shops, on its public squares, and in its temples, theaters, and baths. This meticulous facsimile revives the Niccolinis' extraordinary achievement with all color plates and two introductory essays setting the project in its contemporary context and presenting the historical protagonists of the Vesuvian excavations. In addition, we explore the remarkable influence exerted by Pompeian art--and by the haunting plaster casts made of victims of the eruption--on the visual arts. Across painting, sculpture, and interior design, we trace the Pompeii legacy in the work of Robert Adam, Anton Raphael Mengs, Angelika Kaufmann, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Pablo Picasso, and Giorgio de Chirico, right through to recent masters Duane Hanson and George Segal. 0

Libro: Rietveld Schrder House A Biography of the House (978-946--494143-2) de Dubois, Natalie; van Geel, Jessica (Creative Properties LLC ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. Rietveld Schrder House: A Biography of the House tells the story of the iconic house and its creators, Truus Schrder (1889-1985) and Gerrit Rietveld (1888-1964). The construction of the house, the designs by 'Schrder Rietveld Architects', the war years, the renovations and the many family parties: this richly illustrated publication builds up a picture of the colourful life of the idiosyncratic Rietveld Schrder House. In addition to many previously unpublished photographs, drawings, designs and letters, the book provides in-depth insight into Rietveld and Schrder's collaboration and their shared ambition to radically change traditional (interior) architecture. The research by authors Natalie Dubois and Jessica van Geel also convincingly shows that Truus Schrder's role was far greater than previously assumed. As a gifted designer, Schrder was much more than Gerrit Rietveld's 'muse'. Her creative vision proved crucial to their joint projects. With its bespoke design by Irma Boom, this publication is a tribute to the world-famous house built in 1924 that continues to inspire today. Rietveld Schrder House: A Biography of the House is an accessible and essential reference work for lovers of modern architecture, art history and revolutionary daring. This publication coincides with the centenary of the Rietveld Schrder House, and is issued in collaboration with Centraal Museum Utrecht. 0

Libro: 25 Case Study Houses (978-3-8365-1021-9) de Shulman, Julius, Smith, Elizabeth A. T., Gssel, Peter (TASCHEN ESPAñA, S.A.U. ) Comprar Libros de Ciencias Técnicas .Arquitectura .Teoría e Historia de la Arquitectura .. Redefining The Modern Home: A monumental retrospective of the Case Study Houses program The Case Study House program (1945-66) was an exceptional, innovative event in the history of American architecture and remains to this day unique. The program, which concentrated on the Los Angeles area and oversaw the design of 36 prototype homes, sought to make available plans for modern residences that could be easily and cheaply constructed during the postwar building boom. The program's chief motivating force was Arts Architecture editor John Entenza, a champion of modernism who had all the right connections to attract some of architecture's greatest talents, such as Richard Neutra, Charles and Ray Eames, and Eero Saarinen. Highly experimental, the program generated houses that were designed to re-define the modern home, and thus had a pronounced influence on architecture--American and international--both during the program's existence and even to this day. TASCHEN brings you a monumental retrospective of the entire program with comprehensive documentation, brilliant photographs from the period and, for the houses still in existence, contemporary photos, as well as extensive floor plans and sketches.

This will be a ?deep dive? into the design process, illustrated by sketches and renderings as well as finished photography.003cbr003e 003cbr003eAn introduction by 003ci003eArchitectural Digest003c/i003e design editor Mitchell Owens will provide an overview of the trajectory while Kligerman?s own essay will focus on his interest in developing a truly American style that reflects both the Puebloan style of the Southwest and the shingle style that has prevailed in along the East Coast since the late nineteenth century.003cbr003e 003cbr003eKligerman designs only single-family houses, and his clients have beautiful sites in the Hamptons and throughout New England with a few on the West Coast and in Texas. He is deeply steeped in the history of European and American domestic architecture and wonders whether there is (or can be) an American house paradigm. He grew up in Connecticut and New Mexico so the two strands that he draws on most art the solid adobe forms of Puebloan style and the lighter, more open shingle style. He also considers West Coast architects like Bernard Maybeck and English arts and crafts designers like Vosey and Lutyens. Rather than looking at single, specifc precedents and adapting them for contemporary life, Kligerman tries to incorporate multiple strands to come up with something new ? "to move the needle forward," as he says.003cbr003e 0

Libro: Homes for Our Time. Contemporary Houses Around the World. Vol. 3 (978-3-8365-9449-3) de Jodidio, Philip (TASCHEN ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. Peeking behind the scenes of innovative homes, Philip Jodidio illustrates the evolution of today's global architecture--from Samira Rathod's House of Concrete Experiments in India to Tetro's Aucena House in Brazil, which adapts to its natural terrain. The houses featured in this book may be the first full generation to take advantage of the ubiquity of computing power--from design to fabrication--yet this high-tech approach has in no way diminished their variety and originality. In Italy, Mario Cucinella built TECLA - Technology and Clay, a 3D-printed house created entirely with raw earth. The unique house, printed in 200 hours with 60 cubic meters of natural materials, unveils potential low-cost, environmentally responsible approaches to architecture. In Hyderabad, India, Kanan Modi designed her House of Gardens not only to diffuse and reduce heat within the structure but also to invite the beauty of nature indoors--both essential in the face of rising temperatures and increasing urbanization. These forward-thinking buildings were designed by capitalizing on technological advances such as video conferencing and 3D printing, fostering inventiveness and imagination, and yielding sustainable, site-specific homes. Atelier Bow-Wow virtually directed the construction of their Peninsula House on the Greek island of Antiporos during the COVID-19 pandemic; Mariko Mori's Yuputira unifies her artistic and architectural aesthetics; and Anne Fougeron's Suspension House breathes new life into a remarkable natural setting. Detailing 59 cutting-edge projects from 25 countries--ranging from Guatemala and Slovenia to Norway and Vietnam--the third volume of the Homes for Our Time series takes readers on an illustrated visit of contemporary architectural gems, discovering the architects who are driving change in the field now, and in the future. These homes are the beating heart of creativity that will inspire architecture for decades to come. 0

In 003ci003eNew Hamptons Houses,003c/i003e author David Sokol explores the latest architectural experiments taking place in New York?s legendary summer retreat. With contemporary design increasingly mainstream in the region, the seventeen residences featured here reflect modernism?s spread across not just the Hamptons but up-and-coming destinations like Bellport and Montauk, Greenport and Mattituck. Yet perhaps more important, the houses featured here represent a shift away from the image of conspicuously sprawling properties for the elite; these projects return to modernism?s founding principles, shun Instagrammable spectacle, and steward the East End?s increasingly fragile landscape. 003cbr003e 003cbr003eThese houses interface with the seaside landscape in ways that that reference the Hamptons? rich design history and sensitively highlight Long Island?s famed natural beauty.

What really brings this alive is Barbra Streisand''s admission of the insecurity that drives her.'' The Times ''Exhilarating ... leaves blood on the page ... My Name Is Barbra is 992 pages of startling honesty and self-reflection, deadpan parenthetical asides, encyclopedic recall of onstage outfits, and rigorous analyses of her films'' Vanity Fair ''I have been patiently waiting for Barbra Streisand''s autobiography for 54 years....My Name is Barbra is a Streisand obsessive''s dream come true. It addresses all the rumours and misrepresentations of her long and extraordinary life, from nearly missing out on A Star is Born to dating Pierre Trudeau, Omar Sharif and Marlon Brando. The wait has been worth every word!'' - Richard E Grant, Sunday Times ''The mother of all memoirs'' New Yorker ''A brilliant memoir'' Hillary Clinton ''Glorious, exuberant, chatty and candid, a 970-page victory lap past all who ever doubted, diminished or dissed her . . . generous dollops of chutzpah ... Nobody puts Barbra in the corner'' New York Times ''Mystical, messy, bawdy and funny ... My Name is Barbra confides her insecurities and a ravening hunger for fame ... silent but eloquent and vociferous writing'' Peter Conrad, The Observer ''At heart this is a story so bursting with life, fury, unbelievable ambition and food (Streisand loves to eat) that you come away from it exhausted but smiling ... hear hear!'' The Guardian ''This enormous, poignant memoir from the ultimate showbusiness trouper shows that you can never have it all (even if you''re Barbra). The writing is great and the likeable formidable personality shines through . . . deeper than the average celebrity memoir'' The Times ''A glorious doorstopper... the sheer ambition of this intricately woven memoir makes it a fascinating read. The delicate pages bring to mind a Russian novel or, perhaps more appropriately for the many who view Streisand as akin to a deity, a bible. And yet, Streisand writes relatively succinctly, with warmth and wit. Behind the sequins, beneath the wigs and through the glass of the recording studio, there''s just a woman who dreamed of being famous and make it happen, on her terms. It''s an accomplished and entrancing walk through a life well lived'' Evening Standard ''No less than a living legend ...

Libro: The Gourmand?s Egg. A Collection of Stories Recipes (978-3-8365-8589-7) de Higgie, Jennifer, The Gourmand (TASCHEN ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. Poached, scrambled, boiled, whipped into a cocktail, transformed into a painting medium, tossed at an enemy's house. As the most striking of paradoxes, the egg exists in happy suspension between humble household ingredient and ever-powerful source of life. One of the most enduring symbols throughout antiquity, eggs were used by the Romans to dispel evil spirits, modeled as priceless artifacts for the Russian nobility, and were woven into Egyptian mythology. In the debut volume of TASCHEN's series with cult-favorite The Gourmand journal, we celebrate the link between food and culture in a visual and literary exploration of the powerhouse kitchen staple. A collection of original essays and archetype recipes, from the perfect poach to artful desserts, celebrates the diversity of culinary traditions around the world. The Gourmand's Egg. A Collection of Stories and Recipes is illustrated with exclusive commissions by acclaimed still life photographers--equal parts sumptuous, absurd, lurid, mouthwatering, and undeniably The Gourmand. Rounding out the volume are works from art history's titans, including Salvador Dalí, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Frida Kahlo, David Hockney, and Man Ray alongside texts from chef, food writer, and critic Ruth Reichl and writer and editor Jennifer Higgie, and more. "In cooking -- as in almost every-thing else," Reichl said. "It all starts with an egg." 0

Libro: Arabic manuscripts in the Maronite Library of Aleppo (Syria) (978-84-475-3892-8) de Río Sánchez, Francisco del (Publicacions i Edicions de la Universitat de Barcelona ) Comprar Libros de Ciencias Humanas .Biblioteconomía y Documentación .. The Maronite Library of Aleppo houses one of the most important collections of manuscripts in the Syrian Arab Republic. Comprising more than 1600 copies, the collection contains many different works on Bible, theology, philosophy, history, grammar, literature and sciences, and a great variety of other subjects. The contents of the Library have long been known to Western researchers, but were never fully catalogued. This work seeks to remedy that situation, as the last in a series of three inventories. The first volume (2008) presented a detailed record and description of the Syriac manuscripts held in the Library, and the second one (2011) did the same for those in Karshuni. Following the model established by those two previous publications, this book presents the Arabic manuscripts of the collection. The author offers a short, concise description of each copy, including title or titles, names of the author and copyist, place and date of the copy, and any formal features useful in the proper identification of the manuscripts. This edition also includes 50 images, and full indices of titles, personal names and places 0
