‎Building the future now. The iconic work of a singular architect Zaha Hadid is a wildly controversial architect, who for many years built almost nothing, despite her designs winning prizes and critical acclaim. Some even said her work was unbuildable. Yet over the past decade she has completed numerous structures including the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati (which the New York Times called ??the most important new building in America since the Cold War??), the Phaeno Science Center in Wolfsburg, Germany,and the Central Building of the new BMW Assembly Plant in Leipzig. Today, Hadid is firmly established among the lite of world architecture, her audacious and futuristic designs having catapulted her to international fame. Born in Baghdad and educated in London, where her practice is based, Hadid has designed radical architecture for over 30 years and is now the subject of this massive TASCHEN monograph. Covering her complete works to date, and all of her recent work from Dubai to Guangzhou, this XL tome demonstrates the progression of Hadid?s career?including not only buildings but also furniture and interior designs?with in-depth texts, spectacular photos, and her own drawings. Also included is a special section with translucent vellum paper allowing multiple layers of designs to be viewed at once or separately.‎

‎The revolutionary architect4s life and work in an updated monograph Zaha Hadid was a revolutionary architect. For years, she was widely acclaimed and won numerous prizes despite building practically nothing. Some even said her work was simply impossible to build. Yet, during the latter years of her life, Hadid?s daring visions became a reality, bringing a new and unique architectural language to cities and structures such as the Port House in Antwerp, the Al Janoub Stadium near Doha, Qatar, and the spectacular new airport terminal in Beijing. By her untimely death in 2016, Hadid was firmly established among architecture?s finest elite, working on projects in Europe, China, the Middle East, and the United States. She was the first female architect to win both the Pritzker Prize for architecture and the prestigious RIBA Royal Gold Medal, with her long-time Partner Patrik Schumacher now the leader of Zaha Hadid Architects and in charge of many new projects. Based on the massive TASCHEN monograph, this book is now available in an extensively updated and accessible edition covering Hadid?s complete works, including ongoing projects. With abundant photographs, in-depth sketches, and Hadid?s own drawings, the volume traces the evolution of her career, spanning not only her most pioneering buildings but also the furniture and interior designs that were integrated into her unique, and distinctly 21st-century, universe.‎

‎"In architecture, part of creation comes from logical reasoning and another part from the senses. There is always a point where these two elements come into conflict. I don't think architecture can be created without this collision." Philippe Starck sees in him a "mystic in a country that is no longer mystical". Philip Drew talks about his creations as a "land art" which "struggles to come out of the ground". He is the only architect to have won the four most prestigious honors of his profession: the Pritzke Carlsberg, Kyoto and Praemium Imperiale prizes. His name: Tadao Ando, ??one of the greatest living architects. Combining influences from Japanese tradition and the best of modernism, he gradually developed a unique aesthetic that appeals to concrete, wood, water, light, space and nature in ways unique in the history of architecture. In Japan as well as in France, Italy, Spain and the United States Ando has designed numerous private residences, churches, museums, apartment buildings and cultural centers which have earned him multiple distinctions. This book, produced at the height of his career, brings together his complete work to date.‎

‎Louise Bourgeois - Freud's Daughter‎

‎, Yale University Press, 2021 Hardcover in decorative slipcase with dust jacket , 156 pages, ENG. edition, 290 x 230 mm, NEW !. ISBN 9780300247244.‎

‎An exploration of the art and writing of Louise Bourgeois through the lens of her relationship with Freudian psychoanalysis. From 1952 to 1985, Louise Bourgeois (1911?2010) underwent extensive Freudian analysis that probed her family history, marriage, motherhood, and artistic ambition?and generated inspiration for her artwork. Examining the impact of psychoanalysis on Bourgeois?s work, this volume offers insight into her creative process. Philip Larratt-Smith, Bourgeois?s literary archivist, provides an overview of the artist?s life and work and the ways in which the psychoanalytic process informed her artistic practice. An essay by Juliet Mitchell offers a cutting-edge feminist psychoanalyst?s viewpoint on the artist?s long and complex relationship with therapy. In addition, a short text written by Bourgeois (first published in 1991) addresses Freud?s own relationship to art and artists. Featuring excerpts from Bourgeois?s copious diaries, rarely seen notebook pages, and archival family photographs, Louise Bourgeois ? Freud?s Daughter opens exciting new avenues for understanding an innovative, influential, and groundbreaking artist whose wide-ranging work includes not only renowned large-scale sculptures but also a plethora of paintings and prints.‎

‎Maritime Exchange and the Making of Norman Worlds‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, x + 230 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:17 b/w, 12 col., 3 maps b/w, 3 maps color, Language: English. ISBN 9782503602172.‎

‎Summary Between c. 1000 and c. 1200 AD, emigrants from Normandy travelled long distances from their homeland, spreading their political influence to the shores of the North Sea, the Irish Sea, the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and the Baltic. Their willingness to cross the seas gave Normans access to new territories and new ideas, extending their authority and reputation far beyond northern France. But how and why were these Norman groups able to develop such power? The chapters collected here engage directly with this question by examining the sites and processes that underpinned this expansion. The contributors ask what different Norman groups took from the societies around them, and what they rejected; they consider how non-Norman powers ? in Ireland, England, the Fatimid Caliphate, Byzantium, the Holy Land, and Rus' ? responded to, and were shaped by, their interactions with Normans in contested zones; and they examine how Normans understood and imagined their own relationship with the sea as a place of exchange, a zone of uncertain control, and an ambiguous kind of border. Drawing together material culture and written evidence, this far-reaching volume offers a fully-developed discussion of how, and in what ways, these Norman worlds and societies could be said to be ?transcultural', and in doing so, makes a compelling case that attention to movement and maritime exchange must be central to our understanding of the extension of Norman influence in this period.

‎Verso l' Ut Omnes - Towards Ut Omnes. Vie, luoghi e protagonisti dell'ecumenismo cattolico prima del Vaticano II - Ways, places and protagonists of Catholic ecumenism before Vatican II‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, 183 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language(s):Italian, English, French. ISBN 9782503596600.‎

‎Summary The studies collected in this volume highlight the rising of an ecumenical consciousness within the Catholic Church in the early twentieth century. The Catholic paths, suggested in view of the hoped-for Christian unity before the Second Vatican Council, were different but complementary: the path of prayer and liturgy, that of theological re ection, that of fraternal witness and that of martyrdom. The text offers valuable contributions on all these paths, written by specialists in the history of ecumenism. Gli studi raccolti nel presente volume mettono in luce il nascere di una coscienza ecumenica all'interno della Chiesa cattolica nel primo Novecento. Le vie cattoliche suggerite in vista dell'auspicata unit cristiana prima del concilio Vaticano II furono diverse ma complementari: la via della preghiera e della liturgia, quella della ri essione teologica, quella della testimonianza fraterna, quella del martirio. Su tutti questi cammini sono qui riportati preziosi contributi, scritti da specialisti della storia dell'ecumenismo.

‎Sinds 1998, het jaar van de honderdste sterfdag van F licien Rops, heeft het naar hem genoemde museum in Namen geen tijdelijke tentoonstelling meer gewijd aan 'zijn' kunstenaar. En toch blijft de kennis rond zijn werk evolueren en elk jaar ontdekt het wetenschappelijke team nieuwe onderzoeksgebieden. Het is om deze reden dat een retrospectieve tentoonstelling rond zijn (niet-gerealiseerde) project, Het Album van de Duivel, werd geboren...‎

‎ Dans les contextes fran ais, un h tel particulier (fran ais [ot?l pa?tikylje]) est une maison de ville d'une grande sorte. (En anglais m di val, h tel tait rendu par auberge , la maison de ville d'un noble, qui ne subsiste d sormais que telle qu'elle est utilis e dans les auberges de la cour. Particulier signifiait personnel ou priv ).[1] Alors qu'une maison ordinaire tait construite dans le cadre d'une rang e, partageant des murs mitoyens avec les maisons de chaque c t et donnant directement sur une rue, un h tel particulier tait souvent ind pendant et, au XVIIIe si cle, il serait toujours situ entre cour et jardin, entre la cour d'entr e, la cour d'honneur et le jardin derri re.[2] Il existe des h tels particuliers dans de nombreuses grandes villes, comme Paris, Bordeaux, Albi, Aix en Provence, Avignon, Caen, Lyon, Montpellier, Nancy, Rouen, Rennes, Toulouse et Troyes.

‎Summary Numbers, weights, and measurements, and the systems underpinning them, have always been a fundamental part of human society. Developed in different ways and at different times, such systems have provided a foundation for science, technology, economics, and new ways of engaging with and understanding the world. This volume aims to explore the background to numbers and measurements in more detail by drawing together specialists from a growing field of research. The contributions gathered here offer new and interdisciplinary insights into how the development of mathematical ideas and systems evolved, early metrological systems, the exchange of goods and their impact, the standardization of measuring tools, and the impact of such concepts. This unique volume is deliberately set broad, both geographically and chronologically, in order to compare and contrast changes over time and between peoples, and in doing so it sheds new light on the social and scientific developments among both prehistoric and early historic societies.

‎Persoonlijke en visuele terugblik op leven en werk van dirigent Philippe Herreweghe en Collegium Vocale Gent In 1970 richtte Philippe Herreweghe Collegium Vocale Gent op, waarmee hij zich onder meer toelegde op compo sities van Johann Sebastian Bach en Duitse barok muziek. Het ensemble paste nieuwe inzichten over de uitvoering van barokmuziek toe op de vocale muziek en verwierf in nauwelijks enkele jaren tijd wereldfaam. Dit jaar viert Philippe Herreweghe zijn vijfenzeventigste verjaardag met een prachtig boek waarin hij terugblikt op zijn leven en vruchtbare carri re als dirigent. Fotograaf Stephan Vanfleteren reisde mee naar het Toscaanse zomerfestival Collegium Vocale Crete Senesi en bracht het ensemble en zijn dirigent op meesterlijke wijze in beeld. In zijn visuele interpretatie is een centrale rol weggelegd voor religiositeit. Met tekstbijdragen van Joep Stapel en Luc De Voogdt over leven en werk van Philippe Herreweghe en de componisten die hem het meest inspireerden, en met een persoonlijke tekst van Philippe Herreweghe over Bach en de dood. Philippe Herreweghe ( 1947) is artistiek directeur van Collegium Vocale Gent. Als dirigent is hij ook verbonden aan het Antwerp Symphony Orchestra en het Orchestre des Champs- lys es. Daarnaast is hij een veelgevraagde gastdirigent van orkesten zoals het Concertgebouworkest Amsterdam, het Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, het Scottish Chamber Orchestra, het Tonhalle Orchester Z rich en de Staatskapelle Dresden.‎
