Описание: Good stores still exist. In fact, their number
is growing. Well-designed specialty shops
that are inspired by the small manufacturers
and mom-and-pop operations of the
past are now sprouting up. These outlets are
defying e-commerce and anonymous online
shopping with outstanding products, original
interior design, innovative concepts,
and, first and foremost, friendly and competent
customer service.
The Shopkeepers explores this new store
culture through examples such as barber
shops, fish smokeries, tailors, and milliners,
as well as retail spaces specializing in stationery,
hardware, buttons, home decor, or coffeemakers.
They can be found off the beaten
track as well as in the hearts of major cities
from Berlin to Beirut. The book makes it
clear that they are all driven by the passion
that their founders and operators have for
their business ideas and products, whether
vintage eyeglasses, textiles from India or
China, specialty books, soaps, olive oils, or
tropical fish. While some shops are based
on innovative ideas, others are reinterpretations
of traditional family businesses.
The Shopkeepers also introduces some
of the personalities behind these exciting
retail concepts. Many have been running
their shops for years but are only now
being recognized by a new generation of
consumers for their acumen, integrity, and
knowledge --from shoemakers who truly
understand their craft to culinary experts
who can differentiate between 200 types of
chocolate or cheese with their eyes closed.
Some are such interesting characters that
the chance to interact with them is reason
enough to attract potential customers.
In the stores featured in The Shopkeepers,
the customer is again king and can find a personal,
quality retail experience that the internet
simply cannot provide. The book reminds
us all of the value of exceptional service and
of meticulously selected products which are
built to last and on which one can depend. If
they didn't exist already, they do now.

Описание: Norman Bel Geddes Designs America accompanies a landmark exhibition exploring the career of Norman Bel Geddes (1893–1958), one of the 20th century’s foremost theatrical and industrial designers. This companion volume explores Bel Geddes’s life and career in comprehensive detail through nearly 100 projects, ranging from streamlined airplanes, ships, and cars, to stage sets, appliances, and much more. Both the exhibition and the book bring together never-before-seen drawings, models, photographs, and films drawn from the Ransom Center’s Bel Geddes collection. He is perhaps best known for his Futurama display for the General Motors Highways and Horizons exhibit at the New York World’s Fair of 1939–40, which to this day remains a useful model for city planning and design. The exhibition is curated by Donald Albrecht, who contributed the book’s introduction and serves as its editor. In addition to Albrecht, who has written the introduction, twenty scholars have contributed essays. The exhibition I Have Seen the Future: Norman Bel Geddes Designs America opens in September 2012 at the Harry Ransom Center in Austin, and will travel to the Museum of the City of New York.

Описание: XS Future, the third volume in the successful XS series, focuses on two of today’s most challenging design problems—how to conserve space and help preserve the environment. The houses that are profiled here all represent striking, cost-effective, functional solutions located "at the edge of possibility"—remote locations previously deemed unbuildable, sites that face extreme environmental conditions, or simply, designs so daringly provocative that they are literally at the extremity of contemporary architecture. Each project shares the same basic design brief: build as small and efficiently as possible, harmonize with the site, use natural heating/cooling techniques, and, above all, combine aesthetic beauty with ecological sensitivity. Each design is presented with detailed plans, drawings, and photographs and represents the work of up-and-comers at the forefront of architecture. XS Future is a compelling manifesto in a small and charming package that illustrates how extreme creativity, innovative techniques and materials, and ecological responsibility is transforming contemporary architecture.

Описание: In ad 79, the volcano Vesuvius erupted, burying the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum under ash and rock, and leaving them remarkably well preserved for centuries. While Pompeii has been extensively written about and popularized, the remains of its sister city, a smaller yet wealthier community close to the sea, are less widely known, but they have yielded spectacular archaeological evidence. This is the first major study of Herculaneum since that of Joseph Jay Deiss, published in 1966 and last revised in 1993.

And in any language there have only ever been a handful of books available, mostly guidebooks and exhibition catalogues. Herculaneum is based on the latest excavation work and incorporates much new material that has revolutionized our understanding of the site. The book draws on a decade's work with the Herculaneum Conservation Project which, thanks to the Packard Humanities Institute, has begun to reverse the neglect of previous years which had reduced this extraordinary site to a critical condition.

Illustrated with more than 300 newly taken colour photographs and archive illustrations, plus eight spectacular 360-degree panoramas, it is the definitive overview for the general public of what we know and understand about Herculaneum, of what is still unknown and mysterious, and of the potential for future discoveries in both archaeological and political contexts.

Описание: One of the more exciting realities of 21st-century life is that objects are now able with the help of embedded technology to sense, think, act and communicate. Very soon, every building, city and landscape component will be equipped with communicative and computational capacities: we shall be surrounded by sentient architecture. This book documents the role of architecture in shaping this new reality in multiple research trajectories launched and guided by the authors at The University of Toronto, MIT, Harvard Graduate School of Design and the University of Hong Kong. The projects establish an interdisciplinary platform involving artists, designers, scientists and engineers spanning different institutions and continents in a technological approach to spatial problems that is attuned to the dynamics of living systems. The collective aim is to develop from the collaborative experiments a digitally enhanced architecture that is well-equipped to handle persistent and emerging challenges in building a healthy and sustainable environment.
