Summary:
An energy-efficiency and sustainable building - this was at the core of the brief for this extension to the Tax Office in Enschede, designed by architect Ruurd Roorda. In addition, the identity desired by the Tax Department (business-like, honest, trustworthy) needed expressing in the design. Though new techniques were necessary to achieve results, it is a passive building for all that, with low-tech aspects such as thermal mass, daylight and the use of clay uppermost.

Summary:
A rediscovery of one of the most powerful schools of Modernism. Brazilian Modernism is the soulful alternative to its European parent, better known for theoretical rigor and cold precision. Using the modern materials of concrete and reinforced glass, as well as wood and steel, Brazilians brought to Modernism an unspoken philosophy that allowed for the free flow of nature and built forms, so that the one was not dominated by the other. The undulating and amorphous buildings of Oscar Niemeyer are perhaps the best known expressions of this philosophy, in which the typical straight line of Europe’s Modern home becomes a graceful arabesque. Casa Modernista features not only the work of Niemeyer, but also that of the most important modern architects of this extremely rich, multifaceted nation, including Affonso Eduardo Reidy, Jorge Machado Moreira, Carlos Leao, Alvaro Vital Brazil, Paulo Mendes da Rocha, Joao Walter Toscano, and Abrahao Sanovicz.

Summary:
Un'opera che raccoglie e cataloga tutti i libri fotografici di Gabriele Basilico, coprendo un'attività quasi trentennale, dal 1978 al 2006. Ogni libro è presentato con la copertina originale, i dati bibliografici e una foto tratta dal volume. Pagina dopo pagina, foto dopo foto, salta all'occhio la ricchezza e la varietà dei soggetti scelti da Basilico per i suoi scatti: dalle periferie milanesi della fine degli anni Settanta, alle balere emiliane, alle industrie e ai porti, fino ad arrivare al centro di Beirut nei primi anni Novanta e alla nuova anima di Berlino. Questo libro si pone come uno strumento utile a studiosi ma anche a semplici appassionati di grande fotografia ed è un'occasione speciale per fare il punto sulla carriera di un fotografo che con i suoi scatti ha costruito la nostra percezione del paesaggio contemporaneo.
