Mid-Century Now (DE)

Mid-Century-Design ist allgegenwärtig - in Wohnungen, Sammlungen und im kollektiven Bild von gutem Wohnen. Was einst für Alltag und Zugänglichkeit entworfen wurde, ist heute Projektionsfläche für Werte und Sehnsüchte. Dieses Buch blickt auf Mid-Century-Objekte aus der Perspektive der Gegenwart. In Essays, Designer-Porträts und aktuellen Interieurs zeigt es, wie diese Entwürfe heute genutzt, kombiniert und neu interpretiert werden. Im Fokus steht nicht der Kanon, sondern die Frage, warum wir an diesen Formen festhalten - und was sie über unser heutiges Verständnis von Qualität und Gestaltung erzählen.

American Icons

Iconic architecture that shapes the American skylines.The development and expansion of cities in the United States over the last 150 years gave rise to one of the most ambitious and fastest growing building projects the world had ever seen. The landscape of cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and others, transformed immeasurably as a consequence of decades of construction, and some of the most iconic architecture in the world sits in the foundations of the US and its cities.American Icons is a testament to the architectural masterpieces of the United States, from residential homes to skyscrapers, from museums to airports, and beyond. It features astounding works by renowned architects Mies van der Rohe, Frank Lloyd Wright, John Lautner, and many others.Through detailed, professional photography, as well as captivating reads by The New York Times writer Sam Lubell, American Icons unfolds the stories that form the American skylines, stories told by some of the greatest architects of the twentieth century.

Concrete Jungle

Combine concrete's stoicism with luscious vegetative environments and you get to the language of tropical modernism. In continuity with its founding principles from the mid 20th century, today's architectural visionaries renew the use of raw materials, such as exposed concrete, to explore functionality rather than aesthetics.No matter if works are created in total symbiosis with the tropical landscape or surrounded by flourishing nature, Concrete Jungle presents the dichotomy of the rough material being softened by interaction with the interior and exterior. When gray meets green a never ending range of impressions awakens.
