Book Description
Introducing Universe Journals, a complete line of high-quality blank books featuring fine art images in elegantly designed formats at an affordable price. Two formats are available, and with each the book opens and lies flat perfectly for easy writing. The concealed wire-o binding offers the modern ease of a wire-o but with the elegant look of a real hardcover book. On the other hand, the open-spine binding represents the traditional art of book-making pared down to its essential beauty and simplicity, with its durable braided stitching revealed on the spine. All the books are made with rich-textured cream-colored paper that is lined and is comforting to the eyes. Bringing together the fine arts and the book arts, these journals showcase masterpieces from some of the most prestigious museums in the country. These artworks have been carefully selected for their universal resonance and proven popularity among museum-goers. A single powerful image adorns the front cover of each journal, providing a focus for contemplation and reflective thought. Each title has its own distinct character, which makes it easy to select one as a gift to match the recipient's personality. More than any other journal in the market, these jewel-like books make a fine accent for the home, whether on the bedside table or on a book lover's shelves. And, at under fifteen dollars, Universe Journals represent an extraordinary value. One of the most famous and beloved paintings of all time. Museum of Modern Art, New York

Installations by Architects
Author: Sarah Bonnemaison
Publisher: Princeton Architectural Press
ISBN: 9781568988504
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
Over the last few decades, a rich and increasingly diverse practice has emerged in the art world that invites the public to touch, enter, and experience the work, whether it is in a gallery, on city streets, or in the landscape. Like architecture, many of these temporary artworks aspire to alter viewers' experience of the environment. An installation is usually the end product for an artist, but for architects it can also be a preliminary step in an ongoing design process. Like paper projects designed in the absence of "real" architecture, installations offer architects another way to engage in issues critical to their practice. Direct experimentation with architecture's material and social dimensions engages the public around issues in the built environment that concern them and expands the ways that architecture can participate in and impact people's everyday lives. The first survey of its kind, Installations by Architects features fifty of the most significant projects from the last twenty-five years by today's most exciting architects, including Anderson Anderson, Philip Beesley, Diller + Scofidio, John Hejduk, Dan Hoffman, and Kuth/Ranieri Architects. Projects are grouped in critical areas of discussion under the themes of tectonics, body, nature, memory, and public space. Each project is supplemented by interviews with the project architects and the discussions of critics and theorists situated within a larger intellectual context. There is no doubt that installations will continue to play a critical role in the practice of architecture. Installations by Architects aims to contribute to the role of installations in sharpening our understanding of the built environment.
