|  Produktbeschreibung (22352668): Nature is very un-American. Nature never hurries. Every phase of her working shows plan, calmness, reliability, and the absence of hurry. Hurry always implies lack of definite method, confusion, impatience of slow growth. The Tower of Babel, the world´s first skyscraper, was a failure because of hurry. The workers mistook their arrogant ambition for inspiration. They had too many builders, --and no architect. They thought to make up the lack of a head by a superfluity of hands. This is a characteristic of Hurry. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder für EUR 11.95 bestellen! |

|  Produktbeschreibung (22444960): From the Cadillac to the Apple Mac, the skyscraper to the Tiffany lampshade, the world in which we live has been profoundly influenced for over a century by the work of American designers. But the product is only the end of a story that is full of fascinating questions. What has been the social and cultural role of design in American society? To produce useful things that consumers need? Or to persuade them to buy things that they don´t need? Where does the designer stand in all this? And how has the role of design in America changed over time, since the early days of the young Republic? Jeffrey Meikle explores the social and cultural history of American design spanning over two centuries, from the hand-crafted furniture and objects of the early nineteenth century, through the era of industrialization and the mass production of the machine age, to the information-based society of the present, covering everything from the Arts and Crafts movement to Art Deco, modernism to post-modernism, MOMA to the Tupperware bowl. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 31.95 bestellen! |

Le Corbusier in America: Travels in the Land of the Timid (buecher.de - (Teil1)) |  Produktbeschreibung (20974170): Bacon notes that Le Corbusier´s dialogue with America was drafted within a spirited European discourse on am ricanisme. She contends that the trip validated his concept of a ´´second machine age´´ that would unite standardized industrial methods with a new humanism. Le Corbusier´s subsequent work, she suggests, reflected an ´´Americanization,´´ evidenced by the introduction of tension structures and the textured skyscraper conceived as an integrated system with functions articulated. She also defines Le Corbusier´s role in the debate over New York City high-rise public housing. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 77.95 bestellen! |

Tower and Office: From Modernist Theory to Contemporary Practice (buecher.de - (Teil2)) | | Produktbeschreibung (21455916): In the first part, Abalos and Herreros focus on the work of Le Corbusier and his followers, identifying the degree of complexity achieved in their interpretations of the modern skyscraper. In the second part, they look at the technological, typological and urban evolution of high-rise construction and the contemporary office building. Among the issues they consider are the evolution of the load-bearing structure, the impact of high-tech systems in buildings, and the transparent building skin. In the third part, they address developments in the planimetric concept of the office and the repetitive and homogeneous office skyscraper, as well as present-day mixed-use structures. Throughout, they emphasize the importance of technical analysis in exposing subjective architectural issues that remain stubbornly hidden when viewed from other perspectives. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder für EUR 48.95 bestellen! |

The Players: Taking Hollywood for a Ride (buecher.de - (Teil2)) | | Produktbeschreibung (21443318): This is the astonishing true story of how a bankrupt con man bounced back by beating Hollywood at its own game. Colin Hayday´s first scam was ingenious: he bought a skyscraper - with no money. When the scam failed, he realised the story could make a money-spinning movie. So he drove a taxi around Soho, London´s film district, pitching the idea to everyone who got into his cab. When he picked up the Oscar-winning mogul behind ´´Taxi Driver´´, ´´The Sting´´ and ´´Close Encounters´´, his next scam began. ´´The Players´´ is about endless cunning, reckless audacity, famous names and a most unlikely duo: Colin and screenwriter Jo Reynolds. It reveals the truth behind their $15 million movie deal and how they played off the world´s press against the mighty Hollywood machine - to keep their dream alive. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder für EUR 11.95 bestellen! |
