Concrete jungle : tropical architecture and its surprising origins

- Die Gestalten Editions
- 6 Avril 2023
- 9783967040890
Combine concrete's stoicism with luscious vegetative environments and you get to the language of tropical modernism. In continuity with its founding principles from the mid 20th century, today's architectural visionaries renew the use of raw materials, such as exposed concrete, to explore functionality rather than aesthetics.
No matter if works are created in total symbiosis with the tropical landscape or surrounded by flourishing nature, Concrete Jungle presents the dichotomy of the rough material being softened by interaction with the interior and exterior. When gray meets green a never ending range of impressions awakens. -

Multiple generations of the same family living under one roof is not a new idea. But what is new is the way architects around the world are re-embracing this form of living, back by increasingly popular demand. While the 20th century experience emphasized a single-family home for the nuclear family and bachelor pads, we are now seeing more tiers of the family unit choosing to live together. Come Together explores the why, the what, the where and, perhaps most importantly, the how of the homes that succeed to be livable for all generational tiers - with designs that are not only architecturally stunning, but balancing private and communal spaces to come together.

An entertaining exploration of trend-immune fashion classics and the surprising origins of your everyday clothing items. How did the five pocket Jeans or the plain white T-shirt become everyday heroes? Which movie star helped turn the leather jacket into a global icon? And were chinos really created for military purposes? The origin stories of these casual men's fashion staples will surprise you, and can often be traced to subversive countercultures. The Rebel's Wardrobe unpacks the modern menswear lexicon and reveals, for example, why the Carhartt jacket designed for railroad workers became synonymous with skaters and graffiti artists, and how polo shirts made the leap from middle-class tennis clubs to British Mods. Traversing genres and styles, this book goes back to the gestation period of iconic pieces and shows how they became timeless classics that transcended fashion.

The automobile is, undeniably, the backbone of the last 100
years of American society. The likes of Ford, Plymouth, and Chevrolet, defined a
new era for the United States, from transcontinental travel to suburban family
transportation. From the mass production of the Model T all the way through to
the electric age of the Tesla, the automobile has been a staple in American
culture for generations. But these cars were not just practical
machines. For many they projected an image of cool, represented a way of life,
or was a means to make a living. The great American road trip was born behind a
wheel, the Dodge Challenger ripped up the screen in Vanishing Point, and the
city of Detroit rose and fell dramatically off the back of the American
automobile industry. The Americans - Beautiful Machines celebrates
the likes of the Mustang, Gran Torino, Corvette, and many of the other classic
models that put American automobiles firmly into the 20th Century American
zeitgeist. It tells the story of the most iconic cars, their makers, and their
era.The book also touches upon the art deco elegance of the Cord, post war
optimism, the surf and muscle era, and much more, celebrating the most
emblematic, visionary, and iconic automobiles in the history of United States
manufacturing. -
