![]() ![]() Author: Philip Jodidio Publisher: TASCHEN Architecture outside the box: Designing the great outdoors One of the hottest areas of contemporary design is landscape architecture. No matter what the architectural style of the moment, the green areas around houses, stadiums or corporate headquarters have taken on a considerable importance, all the more so with the emphasis on ecology and green design. This book calls on the work of thetop designers of the moment, from Ken Smith, author of the Museum of Modern Art’s rooftop garden, toWest 8 from Rotterdam, but also on architects ranging from Steven Holl to Tadao Ando, who have long been fascinated by the environments of their buildings. There are new names like the Lebanese landscape architectVladimir Djurovic and well-known ones like Renzo Piano. There are established firms, like theWirtz family from Belgium or Gustafson Porter from the United States, and young creators likeSophie Agata Ambroise from Lugano. Landscape architecture may not always be easy to delimit, but this new bookopens the doors and windows of today’s architecture into the gardens of tomorrow. Text in English, French, and German € 35,70

![]() ![]() Author: Philip Jodidio Publisher: TASCHEN The iconic work of a singular architect Zaha Hadid is a wildly controversial architect, who for many years built almost nothing, despite her designs winning prizes and critical acclaim. Some even said her work was unbuildable. Yet over the past decade she has completed numerous structures including the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati (which the New York Times called 'the most important new building in America since the Cold War'), the Phaeno Science Center in Wolfsburg, Germany, and the Central Building of the new BMW Assembly Plant in Leipzig. Today, Hadid is firmly established among the élite of world architecture, her audacious and futuristic designs having catapulted her to international fame. € 8,20

![]() ![]() Author: Jodidio Philip Publisher: Skira The acclaimed renovation of two of Venice's most revered landmarks by the master architect for François Pinault's unmatched contemporary art collection. Long acknowledged as a master builder of art spaces, Tadao Ando faced a new constructional challenge with the renovation of two of Venice's iconic buildings—and succeeded brilliantly. Approached by French magnate François Pinault to renovate two disparate but equally high-profile and challenging Venetian structures to house his peerless collection of contemporary art—the Palazzo Grassi and the Punta della Dogana—Ando deftly employed his signature process to produce two elegant interiors from highly complicated historic sites. At the Palazzo Grassi, prominently located on the Grand Canal, Ando's quiet but expert renovation of the eighteenth-century rooms harmonizes contemporary art with historical Venetian spaces. At the Punta della Dogana, the Venetian Republic's original customs warehouse, the large-scale space was subtly subdivided into refined rooms for installation art. The overall effect of the two different renovations is a harmony of old and new, of history and innovation—a result that can only be from the hands of Tadao Ando. € 51,00

![]() ![]() Author: Jodidio Philip, Ando Tadao (FRW) Publisher: Universe Pub What began in 1985 as a plan for a children's camp on the Japanese island of Naoshima has grown to become an amazing arts complex, privately funded by the Benesse Corporation. Arts writer Jodidio tells the story of this blossoming and the creation of the museums and other buildings by architect Tadao Ando. The designs and beautiful photographs illustrate the philosophy of the architecture blending into the landscape. The book charts the building process beginning in 1988 and continuing until 2006. In keeping with the goal of leaving the site as natural as possible, many of the buildings are sunk into the ground with only skylights peeking out. There are also photographs of other Ando buildings, some made in collaboration with other artists. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) € 42,10

![]() ![]() Author: Philip Jodidio Publisher: TASCHEN Cutting edge architecture while you sup and dine The latest architecture and design of restaurants and bars, from L.A. to Tokyo, is the focus of this book. Whether the challenge is merely placing furniture in a simple space, or an ambitious structural project, restaurants and bars are the sites of our most expressive architecture; more ephemeral than larger facilities or entire buildings, they are more apt to capture the mood of the times. From a skyscraper rooftop in Bangkok to a beachfront in Brazil, here are places where design, architecture, food and drink come together in inspiring combinations ranging from minimalist to extravagantly Baroque. Designed and conceived like the enormously successful Architecture Now! books, this publishing milestone identifies the current trends bringing architecture and design together in new and exciting ways.

![]() ![]() Author: Jodidio Philip, Strong Janet Adams, Wiseman Carter (INT), Pei I. M. (FRW) Publisher: Rizzoli Intl Pubns When I. M. Pei - one of the world's most celebrated architects and a master of light, space, and geometry - was awarded the Pritzker Prize in 1983, the jury said he had 'given this century some of its most beautiful interior spaces and exterior forms.' I. M. Pei: Complete Works attests to this statement by showcasing Pei's transcendent, sculptural forms from more than 50 years of work, using his best known and widely admired Louvre project as a focal point. Often working with a palette of stone, concrete, glass, and steel, Pei has taken his vision of modern architecture across the globe with commissions in locations as diverse as Qatar, China, Luxembourg, Japan, and Germany. Meanwhile, major projects such as the JFK Library in Boston and the East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. have made him a household name in the United States. This volume honors Pei's tremendous influence by exclusively discussing the projects that he - rather than any of his partners - had direct, personal interest in. Insightful texts by renowned writers Philip Jodidio, Janet Adams Strong, and Carter Wiseman insure that this first-ever monographic study of the master architect will be an invaluable source for years to come. € 78,50

With recent projects such as the stadiums for the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens or the new railway station in Li?ge, Belgium, he has reached a level of undeniable notoriety in Europe and continues to move further ahead. The only architect ever to have his work exhibited at both the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, he is currently working on the main transportation hub for Ground Zero in Manhattan as well as the tallest building in the United States: the 160-story Chicago Spire Tower. Winner of the 2005 American Institute of Architects Gold Medal as well as numerous other prestigious awards, Calatrava is one of the greatest and most innovative architects alive. He collaborated extensively with Philip Jodidio in the preparation of this monograph that retraces his career thus far and places his architecture in the context of his art, where nature meets engineering. All of Calatrava's work, from his astonishing suspended swimming pool at Zurich's Federal Institute of Technology to his latest, startling designs, is featured in this lavishly illustrated volume.

![]() ![]() Author: Jodidio Philip Publisher: Prestel Pub The relationship between art and architecture, though rooted in history, is at the heart of today's creativity. Artists have all but abandoned traditional concepts and forms, seeking to renew their vision and their relevance in the contemporary world. Many of them are attracted to the spatial presence of architecture. Simultaneously, contemporary architects, setting aside the precepts and influences of modernism, have come closer to artistic expression. The barriers between art and architecture are coming down, and this illustrated book looks at the ways in which this historic meeting of disciplines is profoundly changing contemporary culture. € 49,80
