Описание: The history of architecture, like that of all art forms, has fluctuated over time between two very marked tendencies: austerity and opulence of form and concept. Styles have alternated from simplicity to exuberance, reaching an eclectic period where rationalist works coexist with postmodern structures, minimalist interiors and crowded atmospheres. Minimalism / Maximalism portrays the coexistence of these dissimilar styles through a careful selection of some of the most prestigious architects. The aim of the book is to state that after a long period of austere works, architects are going for a new design: more complex, with an enriching mixture of materials, forms, and functions. The book will be divided into three major chapters that will contrast minimalism and maximalism projects. The first two pages of each project will be dedicated to this contrast and the following will show the maximalist project. Introduction: References to the evolution of architecture in the past and an overview of how Maximalism has taken over the disciplines such as painting, sculpture and fashion design. Architecture: Commercial Spaces: Hotels, Bars, Restaurants, Shops, Showrooms; Housing: Single family homes, Lofts, Apartments; Public Buildings: Schools, Museums, Offices, Shopping Malls; Each chapter will show international projects by architects such as Frank O. Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, Wilkinson Eyre, Shuhei Endo, Ettore Sottsass, Alsop & Stormer... up to 25 renowned designers. Furniture Design: Chairs, Sofas, Tables, Lamps A short chapter will show how all the theories that have been presented in the book have influenced other disciplines such as furniture design or graphic design.

Описание: " . . . a landmark work, the first attempt to write a pre-history of minimalism that embraces all the arts. Its importance cannot be overestimated." —K. Robert Schwarz, Institute for Studies in American Music "All told, this book is mandatory reading for anyone who wishes to understand the history and nature of minimalism." —i/e NINE "The death of Minimalism is announced regularly, which may be the surest testimonial to its staying power," says Strickland in this study, the first to examine in detail Minimalist tendencies in the plastic arts and music. Investigating the origins of Minimalism in postwar American culture, Strickland redefines it as a movement that developed radically reductive stylistic innovations in numerous media. A survey with wit.

Описание:
"More than just a story of an abiding cultural preoccupation, The Longing For Less peels back the commodified husk of minimalism to reveal something surprising and thoroughly alive." -Jenny Odell, author of How to Do Nothing
"Thoughtful and absorbing . . . A superb outing from a gifted young critic that will spark joy in many readers." -Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"Less is more" Everywhere we hear the mantra. Marie Kondo and other decluttering gurus promise that shedding our stuff will solve our problems. We commit to cleanse diets and strive for inbox zero. Amid the frantic pace and distraction of everyday life, we covet silence-and airy, Instagrammable spaces in which to enjoy it. The popular term for this brand of upscale austerity, "minimalism," has mostly come to stand for things to buy and consume. But minimalism has richer, deeper, and altogether more valuable gifts to offer.
Kyle Chayka is one of our sharpest cultural observers. After spending years covering minimalist trends for leading publications, he now delves beneath this lifestyle's glossy surface, seeking better ways to claim the time and space we crave. He shows that our longing for less goes back further than we realize. His search leads him to the philosophical and spiritual origins of minimalism, and to the stories of artists such as Agnes Martin and Donald Judd; composers such as John Cage and Julius Eastman; architects and designers; visionaries and misfits. As Chayka looks anew at their extraordinary lives and explores the places where they worked-from Manhattan lofts to the Texas high desert and the back alleys of Kyoto-he reminds us that what we most require is presence, not absence. The result is an elegant new synthesis of our minimalist desires and our profound emotional needs.
