Add to basketHardback. Condition: New. This book brings together five vacation homes in Sweden designed by Stockholm-based architect Mikael Bergquist. Realised over more than two decades, they are all located in the Swedish countryside and rooted in the Nordic tradition of timber construction and the simplicity and economy of Sweden's historic farm buildings. Bergquist's great attention to detail and careful choice of materials characterise these houses. They are united also by a close relationship to the surrounding landscape and nature, which is enhanced as an experience by the concepts of movement and the placement of passages between the outside and inside.The houses are documented with photographs as well as plans and sections. In his supplementary essay, Bergquist writes about the special position of working as an architect on the periphery of Europe. He draws a picture of Swedish architecture that is marked by what he calls "fruitful misunderstandings" of current movements, and one in which the poverty of the rural population has been a major factor in the evolution of the design and construction of dwellings.

Add to basketHardback. Condition: New. Josef Frank, born 1885 in Baden near Vienna, ranks among Europe's most significant architects of the twentieth century. His designs for furniture and textiles also make him one of the eminent figures of modernist interior design. Born into a Jewish family, growing anti-Semitism forced him to emigrate in 1933. He first went to Sweden and in 1939 to the USA, returning to Sweden again in 1947, where he lived and worked until his death in 1967.Josef Frank - Spaces is the first comprehensive book on Frank's single-family houses. It explores the evolution of his designs over the years and investigates the influences that shaped his work: Adolf Loos's spatial plan concept, Le Corbusier's ideas, and Hermann Muthesius's seminal book The English House. It also looks at Frank's own architectural concepts of movement and stairs in residential buildings. The second part features six of Frank's houses in greater detail, including images and plans, and in descriptive texts that also interpret their characteristics. The selection comprises the villas Claëson and Wehtje in Falsterbo, Sweden, the villas Wien XIII and Beer in Vienna, the House MS in Los Angeles, and the unrealised Fantasy House 9 (Accidental House). A complete catalogue of Frank's single-family houses rounds out the book.

Condition: Gebraucht, sehr gut. 1. PARC Architectes wurde 2009 von Émeric Lambert und Brice Chapon in Paris gegründet. Das Büro wurde schnell bekannt und gewann einige Auszeichnungen in Frankreich und darüber hinaus. Genauso wichtig wie die Arbeit an Bauprojekten ist für PARC Architectes die Forschung über Architektur und Urbanismus ? exemplarisch dargestellt in ihrem Essay «Le parc planetaire», den die Architekten in ihrer eigenen Zeitschrift PRAGMA und ihrem Blog CRAPZINE publizierten. In ihrem ersten Buch präsentieren PARC Architectes 15 Projekte und Bauten, in denen die grundlegende Haltung des Büros deutlich wird: dass Umwelt- und Klimafragen Teil der Architektur geworden sind. PARC Architectes bewegen sich zwischen Wissenschaft und Kunst und vertreten ein umfassendes Verständnis der Umwelt als Lebensraum; ihre Interventionen reichen von ephemeren, konzeptionellen Strukturen bis hin zu Wohnsiedlungen.
