Modern Architecture A–Z Taschen XL
2 op voorraad
An encyclopedia of modern architecture
With almost 300 entries, this architectural A to Z offers an indispensable overview of the key players in the creation of modern space. Covering modern architecture from the 19th into the 21st century, pioneering architects are each featured with a portrait and a concise biography, as well as a description of his or her important work.
Like a bespoke global architecture tour, this book will allow you to travel from Manhattan skyscrapers to a Japanese concert hall, from Antoni Gaudí’s Palau Güell in Barcelona to Lina Bo Bardi’s sports and leisure center on a former factory site in São Paulo. You’ll take in Gio Ponti’s colored geometries, Zaha Hadid’s free-flowing futurism, the luminous interiors of SANAA, and Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s unique blend of Scottish tradition and elegant japonisme.
The book’s A to Z entries also cover groups, movements, and styles to position these leading individual architects within broader building trends across time and geography, including International Style, Bauhaus, De Stijl, and much more. With illustrations including some of the best architectural photography of the modern era, this is a comprehensive resource for any architecture professional, student, or devotee.

Good design is in the genes of the capital city of the Netherlands, visible almost everywhere you look—in part, thanks to pioneers like Marcel Wanders, Piet Boon, and the Droog Design Collective.

Annie Leibovitz Sumo editie Keith Haring
Toen Benedikt Taschen de belangrijkste fotograaf van vandaag vroeg om haar belangrijkste foto’s bijeen te brengen in een boek van SUMO-formaat was ze gefascineerd. Ze zag het als een uitdaging. Het project nam enkele jaren in beslag en leidde tot bijzondere onthullingen. Leibovitz selecteerde uit meer dan 40 jaar werk, beginnend met de intuïtief intieme reportages die ze in de jaren zeventig maakte voor Rolling Stone en doorlopend tot de meer geënsceneerde portretten voor Vanity Fair en Vogue.

Sebastião Salgado GENESIS
Een monumentale uitgave over onze planeet in zijn natuurlijke toestand: Salgado’s magnum opus. In tegenstelling tot de Collector’s Edition die is vormgegeven als een grootformaat portfolio dat over de planeet meandert, toont deze handelseditie een andere selectie foto’s die geografisch in vijf hoofdstukken zijn verdeeld: Planet South, Sanctuaries, Africa, Northern Spaces, Amazonia en Pantanal. Hoewel ze afkomstig zijn uit hetzelfde oeuvre hebben de twee boeken een heel andere benadering. Beide boeken zijn echter een eerbetoon aan Salgado’s prachtige en onovertroffen Genesis-project. De foto’s zullem de komende jaren in verschillende musea in dedwereld tentoongesteld worden.
