Louis I Kahn

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Born in Estonia in 1901, Louis Isidore Kahn was to become one of the United States` most important architects of the post-war period, alongside the Modern masters Mies van der Rohe, Walter Gropius and Le Corbusier. Although renowned for a number of seminal modern works, he came to question many of the precepts of the Modern Movement. In particular, he questioned the ability of the International Style of Modernism to house the social spaces required by the latter half of the century. In 1947 Kahn was appointed Professor at Yale University. He was to continue teaching throughout his architectural career, influencing a younger generation of architects along the way. His teaching enabled him to further develop his own concepts and to inform his ever-evolving definition of design. He was drawn to investigate monumentality in architecture, creating buildings out of heavy, solid materials and forms and incorporating vivid plays of light, in complete contrast to the lightweight glass and… [detailed...]

Thomas Leslie
Louis I. Kahn: Building Art and Building Science

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionPhiladelphia architect Louis I. Kahn (1901-1974) was one of the most influential American architects of the twentieth century. His work, widely recognized as a link between modern and classical traditions, is distinguished by its simple yet monumental design. In this book, Thomas Leslie shows that Kahn was also an extraordinarily gifted technologist and that his careful presentation of engineering principles set the stage for the high-tech movement in Europe and America. The examination of four major buildings?the Yale Art Gallery, the Richards Medical Laboratories, the Salk Institute, and the Kimbell Art Museum?and several smaller projects by Kahn reveals this hidden theme: an expressive integration of construction, structure, and services into buildings that dramatically highlight the processes involved in their making and function. Previously unpublished drawings, construction photographs, and sketches complement new diagrams that illustrate the profound… [detailed...]

Louis I. Kahn`s Jewish Architecture: Mikveh Israel and the Midcentury American Synagogue (American Jewish History, Culture, and Life)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In 1961, famed architect Louis I. Kahn (1901-1974) received a commission to design a new synagogue. His client was one of the oldest Sephardic Orthodox congregations in the United States: Philadelphia`s Mikveh Israel. Due to the loss of financial backing, Kahn`s plans were never realized. Nevertheless, the haunting and imaginative schemes for Mikveh Israel remain among Kahn`s most revered designs.Susan G. Solomon uses Kahn`s designs for Mikveh Israel as a lens through which to examine the transformation of the American synagogue from 1955 to 1970. She shows how Kahn wrestled with issues that challenged postwar Jewish institutions and evaluates his creative attempts to bridge modernism and Judaism. She argues that Kahn provided a fresh paradigm for synagogues, one that offered innovations in planning, decoration, and the incorporation of light and nature into building design. [detailed...]

Hugo Frey
Louis Malle (French Film Directors)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Hugo Frey introduces Malle`s work through a lucid analysis of his many masterpieces, including Le Feu Follet , Lacombe Lucien and Au Revoir les Enfants . He also traces the director`s extended period of work in America, which resulted in powerful films such as Pretty Baby , Atlantic City and My Dinner with Andrblioge . The book focuses on the most challenging aspects of Malle`s oeuvre, his aesthetic vision, his youthful attraction to a form of right-wing pessimism, and his 1970s libertarianism. By rethinking Malle`s portrayals of Nazi-occupied France, Frey demonstrates that he is of equal importance to contemporary historians as to film studies. This is a nuanced study of an important filmmaker, and a critical intervention in the debates which surround Malle`s work. [detailed...]

Louis Vierne (Paperback): Organist of Notre Dame Cathedral (The Complete Organ)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Louis Vierne (1870-1937), a student of Cesar Franck and Charles-Marie Widor, was organist of the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris for 37 years, until his death at the console during a recital. Widor`s successor as the organ`s great French symphonist - an assessment the passage of time has proved correct - Vierne`s music has remained in the repertoire of organists throughout the world, never undergoing the periodic eclipses experienced by his contemporaries. Vierne`s autobiography, Mes Souvenirs, originally published serially in the 1930s, is here available in a profusely illustrated, extensively annotated English translation. Rollin Smith`s Louis Vierne: Organist of Notre Dame Cathedral is the first major study of the great organist of Notre-Dame and includes chapters on his American tour, recordings, contemporary reminiscences, definitive textual corrections, the organ symphonies, his death and succession, and a thematic catalogue of his organ works.Winner of the first Max B.

Louise Bourgeois: Aller-retour: Zeichnungen Und Skulpturen / Drawings And Sculptures

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Over the past intensely productive decade, Louise Bourgeois`s drawings have been dominated by diary-like work in which text and sign often mix. This extensive compendium of that work and its antecedents shares a series design with her recent book of sculpture, and the dialogue between mediums is lively in both titles, which also share a determination to put Bourgeois`s current work in the context of her oeuvre, not just her work in other mediums but her work of other eras. Long denied due recognition, Bourgeois became an avant-garde superstar late in life, and is today, at 94, considered `a great figure of the postmodern` (Peter Weiermair). Since the 1980s, her work has followed the prevalent notion of art that rejects universal style and formal understanding in favor of a personal approach. Her central concern lies in establishing an intense, open discussion on the dialectics of thoughts and feelings, on the internal conflict wrought by external relationships. ! Here, some 150 works… [detailed...]

Louise Bourgeois: Emotions Abstracted, Werke/Works 1941-2000

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Born in Paris in 1911 and a New Yorker since 1938, Louise Bourgeois created a unique oeuvre that owes no allegiance to 20th-century `isms` in the course of a career than has spanned more than 60 years. Her art is grounded in her own life and experience: `My goal is to re-experience a past emotion…to relive anxiety…anxiety is a passive state, and the object is to be active and take control.` Yet Louise Bourgeois did not create an autonomous universe as an artistic hermit. While her art is nourished by personal experience, it also draws from art and art history--a wellspring of inspiration from which she developed her themes, concepts, and approach to media in both two- and three-dimensional works. Her rich and fascinating oeuvre is the subject of this publication, which presents more than 50 works from 60 years of creative activity in impressive full-color illustrations. Most of the works featured here are from the Daros Collection in Zurich. Edited by Eva Keller. Essays by… [detailed...]

2009 y.

Description: There are two thousand species of shrimp in the world, and the majority of the United States population has only just discovered what is now considered America`s favorite seafood. Advancements in transportation and communication have brought the coastal delicacy inland in the last few decades, resulting in a surge of popularity nationwide. Even as the taste for shrimp has drifted farther away from its seaside origins, it remains a traditional staple in the Gulf Coast region. Coauthor and fisheries expert Jerald Horst provides a wealth of information about the shellfish, including biology, history, industry, and meal preparation. Shrimping has been a commercial industry in Louisiana since the 1870s. Based on his scientific knowledge, practical experience, and more than four decades near the Louisiana coast, Horst`s advice is valued among those in the industry. He expounds on the art and science of purchasing shrimp based on size, count, and weight. Recommending specific locations… [detailed...]

Description: With the term lounge, one associates a place accompanied with lingering physical relaxation and a pleasant atmosphere. Nowadays, lounges are ever more prevalent because it is exactly the companies - primarily the airlines and hotels - that long ago realized they need to offer their customers and guests more than just the usual services. On top of that, other companies, public facilities, and industry are increasingly creating space in their showrooms and exhibition booths that offer a relaxing atmosphere and for a while let one forget the stress of the daily grind. Relaxing in contemporarily designed surroundings thus becomes an attitude toward life. The volume at hand shows over 60 international design examples that illuminate exactly this lounge feeling from various perspectives and so offers an up-to-date and comprehensive survey of this topic for the first time. Divided into chapters on airline lounges, corporate lounges, public facilities, gastronomy, hotels, and trade fair and… [detailed...]
