Softcover. Condition: As New. Originalverpackt. In 1983, the Brazilian designers Fernando and Humberto Campana began to develop furniture made with everyday materials such as cardboard, rope, fabric and wood scraps, plastic tubes and aluminum wire. By the early 1990s their often controversial designs had won champions across the world, especially in the U.S., where they became the first Brazilian designers to exhibit at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. This survey of their work contains illustrated articles by international authors. Maria Helena Estrada, design critic and publisher in Sao Paulo, writes a biographical essay on the brothers; Mathias Schwartz-Clauss provides an interpretation of their work of the past 20 years; Massimo Morozzi, artistic director of Edra, offers an account of the Campanas' collaboration with his company; Adelia Borges, writer, curator and teacher in the field of design, describes current-day popular culture in Brazil; finally, Fernando and Humberto Campana contribute nine collages that play with the documentation of their exhibitions. The catalogue's third section groups all exhibits by concept, reproducing them in full color and providing technical details as well as extended captions.…

Softcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Die Vorteile von Bambus, einem der bedeutendsten Baustoffe weltweit, werden neu entdeckt: Er ist kostengunstig, nachhaltig und weist eine unverwechselbare Asthetik auf. Der Architekt Simon Velez, geboren 1959 in Kolumbien, hat die Vorzuge dieses Materials erkannt und in zahlreichen Gebauden umgesetzt. Sein jungstes Werk, der Pavillon der ZERI-Foundation auf der Expo 2000 in Hannover, ist mit einem Durchmesser von 40 Metern und einer Hohe von 17 Metern eine der grossten Bambusstrukturen der Welt. Auch namhafte Architekten wie Buckminster Fuller, Frei Otto, Renzo Piano, Shoei Yoh und Arata Isozaki haben mit Bambus experimentiert. Charlotte Perriand entwarf daraus faszinierende Mobel, wahrend Hiroshi Teshigahara die asthetische Vielseitigkeit von Bambus in beeindruckenden Buhnenbildern zur Schau stellt. Diese Tendenzen und viele weitere Beispiele raffinierter Bambusarchitektur machen das Werk zum ersten, das die architektonische Bedeutung von Bambus auf hohem gestalterischen Niveau wurdigt. Es zeigt, dass Bambus ein zukunftstrachtiger Werkstoff ist, der High Tech und Nachhaltigkeit sowie globales Denken und regionale Traditionen vereint. Das Buch entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit der ZERI Foundation und dem Centre International de Recherche et d'Education Culturelle et Agricole, Lessac, und enthalt Beitrage von Jean Dethier, Walter Liese, Eda Schaur, Frei Otto und Mateo Kries. …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neu -Die Vorteile von Bambus, einem der weltweit wichtigsten Baustoffe, werden heute neu entdeckt: er gilt als überaus kostengünstig und nachhaltig, besitzt eine unverwechselbare Ästhetik und weist im inneren Aufbau erstaunliche Parallelen zu High-Tech-Werkstoffen auf. Der Architekt Simón Vélez, geboren 1959 in Kolumbien, hat die Vorteile dieses Werkstoffs erkannt und in eine Vielzahl von Gebäuden umgesetzt. Sein jüngstes Werk, der Pavillon der ZERI-Foundation auf der Expo 2000 in Hannover - mit einem Durchmesser von 40 Metern und einer Höhe von 17 Metern eine der größten Bambusstrukturen der Welt - wird ausführlich vorgestellt. Auch Architekten wie Buckminster Fuller, Frei Otto, Renzo Piano, Shoei Yoh oder Arata Isozaki experimentierten mit Bambus. Charlotte Perriand schuf daraus faszinierende Möbel und der Japaner Hiroshi Teshigahara stellt mit seinen beeindruckenden Bühnenbildern die ästhetische Vielseitigkeit von Bambus zur Schau. Diese Tendenzen und viele weitere Beispiele raffinierter Bambusarchitektur machen »Grow your own House« zum ersten Werk, das die architektonische Bedeutung von Bambus auf einem gestalterisch hohen Niveau würdigt. Es zeigt, dass Bambus ein Werkstoff mit großer Zukunft ist, denn er verbindet, was bislang oft als unvereinbar galt: High Tech und Nachhaltigkeit, globales Denken und regionale Traditionen. »Grow your own House« entstand in enger Zusammenarbeit mit der »Zero Emissions Research Initiative«, ZERI Foundation, Genf, und der C.I.R.E.C.A. (Centre International de Recherche et d'Education Culturelle et Agricole), Lessac. Mit Beiträgen von Jean Dethier, Walter Liese, Eda Schaur, Frei Otto, Mateo Kries.
