НАЙТИ ЕЩЕMichelangelo. The Complete Paintings, Sculptures and Architecture (XL).Иль Дивино. Познакомьтесь с мастером эпохи Возрождения. Еще до достижения 30-летнего возраста Микеланджело Буонарроти (1475–1564) уже изваял Пьету и Давида, две самые известные скульптуры за всю историю искусства. Достижения этого итальянского мастера как скульптора, живописца, рисовальщика и архитектора уникальны — ни один художник ни до него, ни после него не создавал такого обширного, многогранного и разнопланового творчества. В этом свежем издании TASCHEN прослеживается восхождение Микеланджело к культурной элите эпохи Возрождения. Десять богато иллюстрированных глав посвящены картинам, скульптурам и архитектуре художника, включая тщательный анализ фресок, исполненных художником в Сикстинской капелле. Полностраничные репродукции и увеличенные детали позволяют читателям оценить лучшие детали в репертуаре художника, в то время как биографический очерк книги рассматривает более личные черты и обстоятельства Микеланджело, такие как его уединенный характер, его жажда денег и заказов, его огромное богатство и его навыки в качестве инвестора в недвижимость.

НАЙТИ ЕЩЕA survey of Japan’s contemporary architecture scene Japan's contemporary architecture has long been among the most inventive in the world, recognized for sustainability and infinite creativity. No fewer than eight Japanese architects have won the Pritzker Prize. Since Osaka World Expo ’70 highlighted contemporary forms, Japan has been a key player in global architecture. Tadao Ando's geometry put Japanese building on the map, bridging East and West. After his concrete buildings, figures like Kengo Kuma, Shigeru Ban, and Kazuyo Sejima pioneered a more sustainable approach. Younger generations have taken new directions, in harmony with nature, traditional building, and an endless search for forms. Presenting the latest in Japanese building, this book links this unique creativity to Japan's high population density, modern economy, long history, and continual disasters in the form of earthquakes. Accepting ambiguity, constant change, and catastrophe is a key to understanding how Japanese architecture differs from that of Europe or America. This compact edition highlights 37 architects and 53 exceptional projects by Japanese masters—from Tadao Ando’s Shanghai Poly Theater, Shigeru Ban’s concert hall La Seine Musical, SANAA’s Grace Farms, Fumihiko Maki’s 4 World Trade Center to Takashi Suo’s much smaller sustainable dental clinic. An elaborate essay traces the building scene from the Metabolists to today, showing how the interaction of past, present, and future has earned contemporary Japanese architecture worldwide recognition.
