Zimmerman Claire Mies Van Der Rohe
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) was one of the founding fathers of modern architecture. The creator of the Barcelona Pavilion (1929), the Farnsworth House in Plano, Illinois (1945-1951) and the Seagram Building in New York (1954-1958), Mies was one of the founders of a new architectural style. Well known for his motto "less is more," he sought a kind of refined purity in architectural expression that was not seen in the reduced vocabulary of other Bauhaus members. His goal was not simply building for those of modest income but building economically in terms of sustainability, both in a technical and aesthetical way; the use of industrial materials such as steel and glass were the foundation of this approach. Though the extreme reduction of form and material in his work garnered some criticism, over the years many have tried-mostly unsuccessfully-to copy his original and elegant style. This book explores more than 20 of his projects between 1906 and 1967, from his early work around Berlin to his most important American buildings. Издание на английском языке.

Perfektion im Purismus Er pragte das Motto „weniger ist mehr“ – Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969) war einer der Grundervater der modernen Architektur und beeinflusste die Asthetik des Stadtebaus im 20. Jahrhundert ma?geblich, wenn auch nicht immer unumstritten. Mies van der Rohe propagierte auf der Suche nach einer elementaren Wahrheit reine Formen und Proportionen. Anhand von moderner Technologie und neuesten Materialien konzipierte er Bauwerke von puristischer Schlichtheit wie zum Beispiel das Seagram Building oder Farnsworth House. Seine Kritiker wandten ein, dass dieser extreme Ansatz monotone und kaum voneinander unterscheidbare Stadtbilder hervorbringen wurde, wahrend andere in ihm den Meister einer eleganten Essenz sahen. Dieser Band stellt uber 20 von Mies van der Rohes Projekten aus der Zeit zwischen 1906 und 1967 vor und beleuchtet seine bahnbrechenden Ideen sowie seinen Einfluss in Amerika und Europa.

Less is more: finding perfection in purity Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969) was one of the founding fathers of modern architecture, and creator of the Barcelona Pavilion (1929), the Farnsworth House in Plano, Illinois (1945–1951) and the Seagram Building in New York (1954–1958). Famed for his motto "less is more," Mies sought a refined purity in architectural expression that was missing from the vocabulary of his Bauhaus peers. He aimed to build for those of modest income while also building economically and sustainably, both in technical and esthetic terms; the use of industrial materials such as steel and glass were the foundation of this approach. Though his stark forms and modern materials provoked some criticism, over the years many have tried—most unsuccessfully—to copy his original and elegant style. This book explores more than 20 of his projects between 1906 and 1967, from his early work around Berlin to his most important American buildings.
1012 Руб.Neumeyer Fritz The Lost Last Words of Mies van der Rohe. The Lohan Tapes from 1969
The German-American architect Dirk Lohan began to record his conversations with his grandfather Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in the summer of 1969. The tapes, recorded during the final weeks of Mies’s life, captured some of the architect’s very last words. They were sent to the Mies van der Rohe Archive of the Museum of Modern Art in New York after his death, though they went missing under unknown circumstances. Only an incomplete typescript remains as a testimony to the conversations. The Lost, Last Words of Mies van der Rohe presents this text in its entirety for the very first time. The conversations relayed in the typescript reveal the famously reticent Mies speaking about his own life with a level of detail, precision, and candour found nowhere else. They shed new light on Mies’s character – not only as a serious, philosophical man but also as a human being alive to the humorous aspects of life. This book features a foreword by Dirk Lohan and an introductory essay by Fritz Neumeyer, one of the world’s most eminent scholars on Mies. Neumeyer’s commentary and analysis provide keen insights into how Mies developed his architectural thinking during his early career, on his way to becoming one of the most important modern architects of the twentieth century.

Walter Gropius, Visionar des Bauhauses Neue Sachlichkeit, Deutscher Werkbund, Gesamtkunstwerk, Bauhaus, Purismus der Form, Stahl und Glas, Neues Frankfurt, Siemensstadt, TAC, der „Baukasten im Gro?en“, Hansaviertel, Gropiusstadt – zentrale Begriffe und wuchtige Wegmarken der Moderne kennzeichnen den Lebensweg von Walter Gropius (1883–1969), Grunder und Leiter des Bauhauses. Gropius hat wie kein anderer deutscher Formgeber und Architekt des vergangenen Jahrhunderts Spuren hinterlassen und unsere Lebensumwelt gepragt. Einige dieser Schlagworte strahlen auch heute noch in ungebrochenem Glanz, andere haben ihren Nimbus langst verloren. In dieser Einfuhrung betrachten wir die Entwicklung und den Einfluss dieses gro?en Visionars des 20. Jahrhunderts anhand von zwanzig seiner bedeutendsten Projekte, vom Bauhaus-Gebaude in Dessau uber die Siedlung Siemensstadt bis hin zum Harvard University Graduate Center und der Gropiusstadt in Berlin. Wir beschaftigen uns mit seiner Rolle als Baumeister, Schriftsteller und Lehrmeister, nicht nur als Pionier des Bauhauses, sondern auch – gemeinsam mit Ludwig Mies van der Rohe – als ma?geblicher Vertreter des Internationalen Stils.

Die beruhmteste Kunstschule der Moderne Zwischen zwei Weltkriegen, in gerade mal 14 Jahren, veranderte das Bauhaus die Moderne. Die von utopischen Idealen geleitete Schule fur Kunst und Design fuhrte Kunst, Handwerk und Technik zusammen und wandte dieses ganzheitliche Konzept auf Malerei, Bildhauerei, Design, Architektur, Film, Fotografie, Textilgestaltung, Topferei, Theater und Installationen an. Das Kunstlerkollektiv mit Au?enwirkung war zugleich eine enge personliche Gemeinschaft. Gegrundet wurde die Schule von Walter Gropius (1883-1969), zu den Mitgliedern gehorten Josef und Anni Albers, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Oskar Schlemmer, Gunta Stolzl, Marianne Brandt und Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. An allen drei aufeinander folgenden Standorten der Schule in Weimar, Dessau und Berlin herrschte ein reger kreativer Austausch zwischen den Schulern und Lehrern, die zwar alle unterschiedliche kunstlerische Stile und Vorlieben pflegten, jedoch in ihrem Idealismus und dem Streben nach einem „Gesamtkunstwerk“ vereint waren. Dieser Band feiert die Innovationskraft der Bauhaus-Bewegung, die die Moderne mit ihren avantgardistischen Ideen befeuerte und in der Kunsterziehung auf umfassende Freiheit des kunstlerischen Ausdrucks sowie die Verbindung von Funktion und Asthetik setzte.

Von Weimar in die Welt – Mythos Bauhaus In einem kurzen Zeitraum von nur vierzehn Jahren zwischen den beiden Weltkriegen veranderte die deutsche Kunst- und Gestaltungsschule Bauhaus das Antlitz der Moderne. Mit utopischen Idealen fur die Zukunft entwickelte sie eine bahnbrechende Fusion aus Kunst, Handwerk und Technik, die sie quer durch alle gestalterischen Medien und Methoden umsetzte, vom Film bis zum Theater, von der Bildhauerei bis zur Topferei. Dieses Referenzwerk entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Bauhaus-Archiv/Museum fur Gestaltung in Berlin, der weltgro?ten Sammlung zur Geschichte des Bauhauses. Uber 250 neue Fotografien, Schriften, Studien, Skizzen, Plane und Modelle dokumentieren nicht nur die realisierten Arbeiten, sie lassen auch den Geist von Bauhaus wieder lebendig werden. Von zwanglosen Aufnahmen beim Gruppenturnen bis zu Zeichnungen aus dem Unterricht von Paul Klee, von ausfuhrlichen Bauplanen bis zu einem schnittigen Aschenbecher von Marianne Brandt – sie alle sind Zeugnisse einer idealistischen Kreativgemeinschaft, die entschlossen war, Gestaltung vollig neu zu denken und eine bessere Zukunft fur moderne Menschen zu formen. Das Buch zeigt Bauhaus nicht nur als bahnbrechende Bewegung des Modernismus, sondern auch als Musterbeispiel einer Kunsterziehung, in der schopferischer Ausdruck und zukunftsweisende Einfalle zu Produkten fuhrten, die schon und funktional zugleich waren. Diese handliche Ausgabe stellt Kunstler wie Josef Albers, Marianne Brandt, Walter Gropius, Gertrud Grunow, Paul Klee, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Lilly Reich und viele andere vor.
4932 Руб.Grace Brockington. Of Modernism : Essays in Honour of Christopher Green
“The work of an artist is, in its largest sense, inseparable from history thought of in its largest sense.” That is how eminent British art historian Christopher Green described his methodological approach. Art, he argued, needs to be understood as happening in history, not in a vacuum. Of Modernism presents original research by ten contemporary scholars of modern art who studied with Green and follow his historical method. The essays on European art rethink some of the crucial artworks, problems, and practitioners of European high modernism, ranging from Les Demoiselles d’Avignon to Guernica, avant-gardism to internationalism, and Joan Miró to Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe. Questions about modernism drive the ten essays, explicitly or otherwise, and they come in as many different shapes. The canon presented in Of Modernism is open, situating Picasso—a recurrent focus of the collection—alongside artists far more obscure, and in the context of a visual culture that is strikingly eclectic and often ephemeral.
5300 Руб.Jodidio Philip White Houses
Devoted to all-white houses, this book celebrates the ever- popular "non-color" as a perfect backdrop for contemporary lifestyles Sometimes seen as an absence of color, white in fact reflects the purity of the entire spectrum. In the history of design, white houses often embody the bright, clean clarity associated with twentieth-century giants Le Corbusier, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Richard Meier. White Houses presents the most striking, innovative, and unusual white houses by contemporary architects, spanning the globe from Asia to the Americas. The featured houses represent every scale and a wide range of locations and terrains, from seaside retreats to space-saving urban homes and grand country residences. From radical new takes on traditional building forms in Latin America to state-of-the-art urban projects in Europe and Japan, each house employs the apparent simplicity of white to reflect light and accent materiality, pressing the frontiers of form to the point of abstraction. No longer an anonymous box, the contemporary white house is the embodiment of the architectural archetype, reinterpreted and refreshed. 260 illustrations

In a fleeting fourteen year period, sandwiched between two world wars, Germany's Bauhaus school of art and design changed the face of modernity. With utopian ideals for the future, the school developed a pioneering fusion of fine art, craftsmanship, and technology to be applied across painting, sculpture, design, architecture, film, photography, textiles, ceramics, theatre, and installation. As much an intense personal community as a publicly minded collective, the Bauhaus was first founded by Walter Gropius (1883-1969), and counted Josef and Anni Albers, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Oskar Schlemmer, Gunta Stoelzl, Marianne Brandt and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe among its members. Between its three successive locations in Weimar, Dessau and Berlin, the school fostered charismatic and creative exchange between teachers and students, all varied in their artistic styles and preferences, but united in their idealism and their interest in a "total" work of art across different practices and media. This book celebrates the adventurous innovation of the Bauhaus movement, both as a trailblazer in the development of modernism, and as a paradigm of art education, where an all-encompassing freedom of creative expression and cutting-edge ideas led to functional and beautiful creations.

Walter Gropius, visionary of the Bauhaus and beyond Walter Gropius (1883–1969) set out to build for the future. As the founding director of the Bauhaus, the Berlin-born architect had an inestimable influence on our aesthetic environment, championing a bold new hybrid of light, geometry, and industrial design, as dazzling today as it was a century ago. In this essential architect introduction, we survey Gropius’ evolution and influence with 20 of his most significant projects, from the Bauhaus Building in Dessau, Germany, to the Chicago Tribune Tower and Harvard University Graduate Center, completed after Gropius’s exodus to the United States in 1937. We explore his role both as an architectural practitioner, and as a writer and educator, not only as a Bauhaus pioneer, but also, along with Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, as a leading proponent of the International Style. Along the way, we see how many of Gropius’s tenets remain benchmarks for architects, designers, and urbanists today. Whether in his emphasis on a functional beauty or his interest in housing and city planning, Gropius astounds in the agility of his thinking as much as in the luminous precision of his work.
