After a terrible misunderstanding, poor Timmy Tiptoes ends up deep inside the trunk of a dead tree, with no means of getting out. Luckily, the chipmunk who lived there was very friendly and kind to Timmy. Before long, a strong wind blows the top off the dead tree trunk, but poor Timmy can't get himself out on account of eating far too many nuts and being a little bit too round! Beatrix wrote this story to appeal directly to her American fans and featured animals of American origin (grey squirrels, chipmunks and a black bear) all living happily in the Lake District woods!

Questo volume, a cura di Guido Morpurgo, propone l'ideale continuità dei progetti e delle opere costruite da Gregotti e Associati in sessantaquattro anni di attività con il territorio dell'architettura, il libro-manifesto di Vittorio Gregotti pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1966. In tutte le sue diverse articolazioni e composizioni, lo studio ha generato oltre 1200 opere che rappresentano una sorta di unicum nella vicenda dell'architettura europea contemporanea, coincidente con un'idea di unità metodologica e di integralità attraverso l'impegno in tutte le scale del progetto: architettura, disegno urbano e pianificazione territoriale, interni e allestimenti museali, disegno del prodotto industriale, grafica ed editoria.
A unique team in the history of architecture, Eero Saarinen was an architect who challenged the conventions of his time while Balthazar Korab was an architect in his office whose photographs reveal the brilliance of Saarinen's work.This sourcebook illustrates nineteen Saarinen commissions in photographs drawn from Korab's archive, providing multiple views of the buildings and views of their construction and of models that were critical to their design. Included are images of Saarinen's office and home and an introductory essay positioning his work within the context of his time. Seen in detail, early works such as the General Motors Technical Center (1948-1956) show departures from orthodox Modernism; Saarinen's assured handling of new materials and new building functions impart lasting value to his career, as seen in the iconic Trans World Airlines Terminal (1956-1962) and Dulles International Airport (1958-1963).
Das Gesamtwerk der Schweizer Pritzker-Preisträger Herzog & de Meuron umfasst heute rund 570 Bauten und Projekte in über 35 Ländern. 25 realisierte Bauten aus allen Schaffensperioden werden in diesem Buch in sorgfältig orchestrieten Bildstrecken mit herausragenden Fotografien von Balthasar Burkhard, Hannah Villiger, Margherita Spiluttini, Iwan Baan, Thomas Ruff, Wolfgang Tillmans präsentiert. Diese persönliche Auswahl der beiden Autoren, zu der das Ricola Lagerhaus in Laufen, Tate Modern in London, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg und die Parking Structure 1111 Lincoln Road in Miami gehören, deckt alle zentralen Aspekte des Gesamtwerks dieser bedeutenden Architekten ab. Die 25 Fallstudien werden durch technische Daten, Pläne und Literaturhinweise ergänzt.Zwei umfangreiche einleitende Essays beleuchten die Entwurfsmethode der Architekten. Bei Stanislaus von Moos stehen Konzeptionen von Wahrnehmung in Malerei, Skulptur und Fotografie im Vordergrund sowie deren Auswirkung auf das architektonische Denken von Herzog & de Meuron. Arthur Rüegg untersucht die ambivalente Sicht der Architekten auf die gebaute Welt und zeigt, wie sich diese im Umgang mit den unterschiedlichsten Ausgangslagen von Fall zu Fall neu herausbildet.Zwei Bereiche nehmen unter den in diesem Buch erstmals veröffentlichten Materialien eine besondere Stellung ein: die fotografischen Arbeiten von Pierre de Meuron und die Postkartensammlung von Jacques Herzog. Diese bisherunerschlossenen visuellen Archive stehen in einem direkten Zusammenhang mit der architektonischen Produktion der beiden Architekten und werden in separaten Bildteilen zusammengestellt.

The first major presentation in decades of the visionary drawings of the artist-architect and master designer. Frank Lloyd Wright was an architect of vast and unprecedented vision, whose work is not only still admired by the critics and carefully studied by historians but is also widely beloved. Comfortable spaces, humanly scaled, with extraordinary attention to detail-as seen in a range of architectural forms-are at the center of Wright's enduring appeal. This vision and attention is nowhere more evident than in the drawings. It has been said that had Wright left us only drawings, and not his buildings as well, he would still be celebrated for his brilliant artistry, and this is borne out here. Even more significant, and shown here as never before, are the magical first moments of invention and inspiration-Wright's earliest sketches, some never before published-which offer unique insight into the mind of the master architect."Frank Lloyd Wright Designs" is the most important and comprehensive book to be published on the drawings, designs, conceptual sketches, elevations, and plans of Wright, with particular emphasis on the development of certain important projects. It includes the best-known and beloved projects-like Fallingwater, The Coonley House, Midway Gardens, the Guggenheim, the Imperial Hotel-as well as a range of intriguing, unfamiliar, and previously unpublished drawings by Wright.
Ce périple incroyablement révélateur dans l’esprit et les souvenirs d’un des plus grands poètes de l’architecture est raconté par la voix-même de Tadao Ando. Cet ouvrage, éminemment personnel, retrace un demi-siècle de créativité prolifique avec plus de 750 croquis, maquettes et dessins techniques qui révèlent l’essence de sa pratique. De l’instantanéité brute des traits de crayon à la précision des plans, assistez à l’évolution de ses réalisations les plus célèbres — parmi lesquelles la Row House de Sumiyoshi, les résidences Rokko, le Musée d’Art de Chichu et la Bourse de Commerce. Loin d’exprimer des moments d’inspiration isolés, elles constituent des projets architecturaux vivants, façonnés par le temps, les voyages et la réflexion.Plus qu’une monographie, ce livre est une carte du paysage intérieur d’Ando. Il remémore la luminosité des pierres d’un monastère dans le sud de la France, la profonde résonnance spatiale d’un bâoli d’Ahmedabad et le mystère labyrinthique des grottes troglodytes de Cappadoce. Ces souvenirs, forgés lors de ses voyages de jeunesse, sont devenus des graines. Comprenez comment ces fragments d’expérience, passés au crible du corps et des émotions, ressurgissent sous la forme de spectacles spatiaux, faits de béton, de verre et de lumière.Ando reste fidèle à la fragilité de la ligne tracée à la main. À ses yeux, ce n’est pas la perfection lisse des modélisations numériques mais les achoppements et la spontanéité de l’esquisse qui saisissent le cœur battant de l’architecture. Cet ouvrage est un document d’archive autant qu’une rêverie : une méditation sur la naissance des bâtiments, ces géants qui s’inscrivent dans le flot du temps, dans la mémoire et dans la quête perpétuelle de la beauté. Il est accompagné d’un appendice qui dresse la liste exhaustive des projets bâtis et non bâtis d’Ando.Pour citer Ando: "Notre imagination peut croître à l’infini, élaborer des espaces invisibles dans notre esprit — c’est l’éternelle histoire de l’architecture.”
Dächer aus Luftkissen, Badezimmer in blauen Stahltanks, Gewächshäuser als Wintergärten - die Welt des Schweizer Architekten Peter Thomann ist eklektisch, farbenfroh und voller Experimente. Gebäude von fast schon überfordernder Komplexität bilden eigene, inspirierende Lebenslandschaften. Die komplizierte Einfachheit der architektonischen Lösungen, das Modell des Architekten-Bauherrn sowie die Konzentration auf jeweils ein Projekt und die jahrelange Auseinandersetzung damit kennzeichnen das Werk. 1935 in Winterthur geboren, lebt und arbeitet Thomann bis heute in Adliswil bei Zürich, wo entlang einer einzelnen Strasse auch die meisten seiner faszinierenden Bauten stehen.Thomanns Entwürfe sind im Schweizer Kontext ebenso unerwartet wie au¦ällig, sein Werk ist jedoch weitestgehend unentdeckt geblieben. In diesem Buch beleuchten Alexandre Theriot und Stéphanie Bru, als Bruther selbst für ihren eigenständigen architektonischen Ansatz bekannt, gemeinsam mit Blanka Major den facettenreichen Kosmos des Architekten. Der Fokus liegt auf dem Visuellen: Umfangreiche professionelle und private Archivmaterialien werden durch aktuelle Aufnahmen aus drei unterschiedlichen fotografischen Perspektiven ergänzt. Eine Einleitung und vier Gespräche mit Peter Thomann vertiefen die Einsicht in sein Denken und seine einzigartige architektonische Haltung.

""On Loving Women" is in turns wistful, sexy, goofy, bittersweet, frank, and adorable. Diane Obomsawin's deceptively simple lifework and straightforward writing style capture the breathless sweetness of holding another girl's hand for the first time, and the happy, lusty intimacy of a virginity-ending, drunken threesome. Delightful."--Ellen Forney, author of "Marbles: Mania, Depression, Michelangelo, and Me"Intimate vignettes of women coming out "On Loving Women "is a new collection of stories about coming out, first love, and sexual identity by the animator Diane Obomsawin. With this work, Obomsawin brings her gaze to bear on subjects closer to home--her friends' and lovers' personal accounts of realizing they're gay or first finding love with another woman. Each story is a master class in reaching the emotional truth of a situation with the simplest means possible. Her stripped-down pages use the bare minimum of linework to expressively reveal heartbreak, joy, irritation, and fear. "On Loving Women" focuses primarily on adolescence--crushes on high school teachers, awkwardness on first dates--but also addresses much deeper-seated difficulties of being out: fears of rejection and of not being who others want one to be. Within these pages, Obomsawin has forged a poignant, powerful narrative that speaks to the difficulties of coming out and the joys of being loved. Her first English-language work, "Kaspar"--a retelling of the life of Kaspar Hauser, the mysterious German youth who was raised in isolation and murdered just a few years after emerging from his imprisonment--was critically lauded for its simple but expressive storytelling, and for the way it portrayed traumatic material compassionately but without self-indulgenc

'He's 100% political herpes. Back in six months whatever you do. Or three days, like last time.' Camilla Long on Nigel Farage 'You're as ugly as a salad.' Bulgarian insult 'I'm going to beat him so bad he'll need a shoehorn to put his hat on.' Muhammed Ali There's no pleasure like a perfectly turned put-down (when it's directed at somebody else, of course) but Matthew Parris's Scorn is sharply different from the standard collections. Here are the funniest, sharpest, rudest and most devastating insults in history, from ancient Roman graffiti to the battlefields of Twitter. Drawing on bile from such masters as Dorothy Parker, Elizabeth I, Donald Trump, Groucho Marx, Princess Anne, Winston Churchill, Nigel Farage, Mae West and Alastair Campbell - which form an exchange between voices down the ages - Scorn shows that abuse can be an art form. This collection includes extended literary invective as well as short verbal shin-kicks. Encompassing literature, art, politics, showbiz, marriage, gender, nationality and religion, Matthew Parris's sublime collection is the perfect companion for the festive season, whether you're searching for the perfect elegant riposte, the rudest polite letter ever written, or a brutal verbal sledgehammer.
Weimar ist nicht einfach nur eine Stadt in Deutschland. Weimar ist ein Kosmos. In ihm wimmelt es vor großen Namen. Nietzsche und Liszt gehören dazu, und Gropius. Doch im Weimarer Universum strahlt niemand so wie Goethe und Schiller. Weimar sei, so spottet deshalb mancher, die Stadt der toten Dichter. Dies stimmt zweifelsohne, ebenso wie es stimmt, dass Weimar eine quicklebendige Stadt ist.Dieses Buch lädt dazu ein, voller Neugierde durch Weimar zu wandeln. Es möchte Aha-Momente bescheren, ohne ein Lexikon zu sein. Es möchte unterhalten, ohne die Intelligenz seiner Leser zu beleidigen.
