Relojes mecánicos, cronógrafos, de buceo y de cuarzo: un recorrido por la historia de la relojería a través de 90 modelos emblemáticos. * Desde los primeros relojes de pulsera hasta los relojes de cuarzo, todos tienen un interés histórico, mecánico o meramente estético. * Un viaje a través de las épocas y las diferentes complicaciones de la relojería. Siglos, incluso milenios, de innovación técnica han llevado a la creación de los relojes tal y como los conocemos hoy. Complejos y estéticos, son obra de artesanos muy cualificados y con un saber hacer excepcional. Pero ¿qué sentido tienen los relojes mecánicos en la era de los smartwatches? ¿Por qué nos fascinan? Tal vez sea porque, junto con la ropa, son los objetos más íntimos de nuestras vidas. Quizá también sea porque algunos han protagonizado extraordinarias aventuras humanas. Acaso porque otros nunca habrían visto la luz sin la perseverancia y la imaginación de grandes personalidades. ¿Somos realmente los dueños de un reloj o nos limitamos a transmitírselo a las generaciones venideras? Pese a las cicatrices que el tiempo les haya dejado, la mayoría de los modelos que figuran en este libro nos sobrevivirán. De hecho, la mayoría de ellos son relojes antiguos, con pátina, oxidados, imperfectos, simplemente vividos.

In 1956, TIME magazine called him one of the defining “form-givers of the 20th century.” Today, Marcel Breuer (1902–1981) remains a locus classicus of modernism for architects and designers alike. As a Bauhaus pioneer, even his earliest work was marked by a material restraint; the balance of texture, color, and shape; and a symbiosis of local and global, big and small, rough and smooth.In this essential introductory monograph, we survey Breuer’s complete career through some of his most influential projects and ideas, from his landmark tubular furniture to the MoMA Research House to his innovation of “binuclear” housing, splitting living and sleeping areas into separate wings. Along the way, we follow Hungarian-born Breuer’s journey to international acclaim, with featured projects from Germany, France, England, Switzerland, and across the United States contributing to his global status as a modernist maestro.

From the outset, the concept developed by Stefano Boeri for a residential building in 2004 proved to be forward-looking as it anticipated the new frontiers of urban living. Ten years after its inauguration, the Bosco Verticale (Vertical Forest) has kept all its promises and launched a new way of imagining contemporary cities. This book celebrates an architectural work that has become the symbol of a renewed collective sensibility toward care for the environment and the plant world. Edited by Stefano Boeri Architetti, it traces its entire history. “The Bosco Verticale is one of the few ‘living’ buildings whose life is still followed ten years later.” This was the inspiration behind the editorial structure of the volume, which is formed of three sections that evoke the growth of a tree: roots, trunk, and branches and leaves.

Where does craftsmanship end and art begin? What makes something a product, a brand impervious to time and fashions? These are the questions posed while strolling between the past and the present of Baglietto, the Italian shipyard that has been building world-class yachts for 170 years. Success is not built in an instant. Being good, looking to the future, imposing a style that lasts over time is the gamble every entrepreneur takes. There are not many who succeed, which is why those who reach the age of 170 deserve to be studied, as well as celebrated. Baglietto is now a kind of great international club, access to which serves the right mix of passion for the sea, refined taste for boats that is never over-the-top but rather soberly chic, and, of course, the right spending capacity for objects that cost.

Este histórico estudio del street art internacional se sitúa en el punto en el que confluyen el arte y el atlas. Organizado por continentes y ciudades (desde Nueva York, Los Ángeles y Montreal, en Angloamérica, pasando por Ciudad de México y Buenos Aires, en Iberoamérica, hasta Londres, Berlín y Madrid, en Europa, así como Sídney y Tokio, en el Pacífico), se presentan los perfiles de más de cien de los artistas más importantes de la actualidad y más de setecientas asombrosas obras de arte. Un testimonio de cómo este variado movimiento artístico contemporáneo se ha convertido en un auténtico fenómeno global: se narra la evolución del arte urbano en cada región y se proporciona un contexto histórico esencial. Desde su génesis en la Costa Este de Estados Unidos a finales de la década de 1960, el street art y el grafiti han viajado a casi todos los rincones del planeta y han dado lugar a nuevos estilos muy floridos y dinámicos. Al exponer sus obras en la galería más grande y abierta del mundo, los grafiteros y artistas urbanos muestran sus creaciones a un público que no puede evitarlas, con lo que desafían las ideas convencionales sobre el lugar del arte en la vida cotidiana. Desde Steve Powers (ESPO), en Nueva York, hasta Ian Strange, en Australia, pasando por el Londres de Eine, el París transfigurado por Honet y OX, y los gigantescos murales de los brasileños Os Gêmeos, esta es la primera historia genuinamente geográfica de esta forma de arte.

From June 2023 to January 2024, the Musée du Louvre in Paris welcomed sixty major masterpieces from the Museo di Capodimonte, on loan for the exhibition Naples in Paris: The Louvre Hosts the Museo di Capodimonte.

Passionate about designing buildings and neighborhoods that quietly transform the urban environment, Torti Gallas is committed to improving cities, towns, and distressed communities throughout the United States and around the world. This fully illustrated book shows how they have combined the disciplines of architecture, planning, and urban design into a single practice, creating housing and mixed-use buildings that bring catalytic change to urban neighborhoods: the mixed-use apartment buildings, rowhouses, and single-family homes that comprise the fabric of a city. Their work hearkens back to a tradition that, before World War II, created some of the country’s finest neighborhoods, including Forest Hill Gardens in Queens, Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia, and Russian Hill in San Francisco.

In 1965, Steve Schapiro started documenting Andy Warhol for LIFE magazine: Warhol was cementing a reputation as an important Pop artist who drew his inspiration from popular culture and commercial objects. With his sunglasses, blond wig, and bland public utterances, Warhol was enigmatic, charismatic, intensely ambitious, and aware that to become a star, you needed the presence of people to document your ascent. Schapiro, also ambitious and hardworking, who in his own words “kept quiet and smiled a lot,” was an ideal witness to Warhol’s relentless rise from cult New York artist to 20th-century icon. Ironically, LIFE never published the story, so many of these images are seen here for the first time, scanned from negatives found deep in Schapiro’s archive.

This is the first of Pentreath’s books to present his own output in its entirety—from his personal residences in Dorset, London, and Scotland that brought him international fame to many old and new houses that he has designed and some of the larger, town-scaled projects that make his practice unique in the world of traditional design. Although the results range from his colorful and romantic versions of the English country cottage to traditional splendor, there are underlying ideas that inform the breadth of his output—a sense of scale, proportion, craft, detail, sustainability, and appropriateness—that have a universal relevance today.

Up-and-coming interior designer Kirsten Blazek, known for her focus on sustainability and mixing vintage with contemporary pieces, shares inspiration for creating an authentic and livable home. Blazek’s company, A 1000 X Better, takes a holistic approach to design, prioritizing individuality while also emphasizing sustainability, from repurposing existing pieces and materials to sourcing eco-friendly products. Her interiors combine contemporary design elements with vintage pieces, resulting in a modern and warm sensibility. In this book, Blazek breaks down her design philosophy into chapters that help us to articulate what we’re looking for and show us how we can create spaces that are comfortable, stylish, and personal: “Find Your Unique,” “A Reflection of You,” and “Every Home Wants to Be Heard.” Blazek reveals her favorite interiors while sharing her fundamental design elements: color theory, layering of texture and pattern, and the importance of art and personally meaningful objects. The result is a range of interiors and styles, illustrating how these elements might be translated into our own spaces. Blazek’s blend of traditional and contemporary design along with personal and custom touches results in the type of inviting and livable spaces that we all aspire to.

Guiding our eye to the minutiae of subject and symbolism, authors Rose-Marie and Rainer Hagen allow even the most familiar of pictures to come alive anew through their intricacies and intrigues.
