Abstract

Each design surveyed here is an excellent example of how a less is more architectural strategy, which economizes on space, light and mass, can lend itself to aesthetic yet functional structures. Restraint and austerity emphasize geometric form, focusing on the elemental structure rather than superfluous features. From a house in San Francisco's Soma district to a Buddhist temple in Kyoto, a mountain shelter in Switzerland to St. Louis's Pulitzer foundation museum, this book canvasses twenty-one of the world's most efficient minimalist designs. Minimalism's unique use of shapes, lines and materials gives way to strong, simplistic designs, such as those featured in this book.

Abstract

This ambitious book is aimed at a new generation of architects who take technology for granted but seek to understand the principles of what makes a building meaningful and enduring. Fifty buildings by the best-known and -recognized modern architects, from Aalto to Gehry, from Le Corbusier to Hadid, are represented in illustrations that explore all facets of the buildings creation. Starting from its site, each building is analysed through its surroundings, use of natural light, volumes and massing; its programme and circulation; its details, fenestration and ornamentation, taking the reader straight to the heart and mind of the architect. Targeted at rising students and architects who seek to create architecture that transcends digital tools and techniques, The Elements of Modern Architecture is an essential reference and inspiration for many generations to come.

Abstract

The first ever book from celebrated architect Nigel Coates, this is a guide to his personal vision of a metropolis. He's called it Ecstacity. Ecstacity combines elements of Tokyo, Cairo, London, New York, Rome, Mumbai and Rio de Janeiro to create a place of cultural clashes and hybrids. But it also includes inventions and fantasies. So the real and the imaginary sit side by side in a kaleidoscope of colour, drawings, maps, photographs and words. It has been a collaborative project with some of the biggest names around, including industry stars such as Rem Koolhaas, Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry, Gaetano Pesce and Ron Arad. There are also introductory texts and commentaries by writers such as Marcus Field and Brian Hatton along with an essay from the eminent historian Theodore Zeldin.
