Tokyo-London
Jam:
Tokyo-London is one of those books you just want to have. Inside,
contemporary illustration, fashion design, computer art, sculpture, photography,
painting, graphic design, and product design from London and Tokyo define
what is essentially urban for our age, from a limited-edition record player
from the Japanese musician-artist Cornelius to sexy illustrations of young
urbanites by London artist Graham Rounthwaite.
Mies
in Berlin
by Terence Riley (Editor), Barry Bergdoll (Editor)
Mies
in Berlin examines van der Rohe's early career in Europe in terms
of specific historical and cultural context. Scholars and architectural
historians shed new light on the continual interplay of tradition and innovation,
nature and abstraction, in the evolution of his design theories and methods,
accompanied by photographs and drawings that have not been previously published.
The book chronicles for the first time the dynamic intellectual ferment
of this formative period in the life of one of architecture's towering
figures.
