Download or read book The Architecture of Art Museums written by Ronnie Self and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-16 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a building type, art museums are unparalleled for the opportunities they provide for architectural investigation and experimentation. They are frequently key components of urban revitalization and often push the limits of building technology. Art museums are places of pleasure, education and contemplation. They are remarkable by their prominence and sheer quantity, and their lessons are useful for all architects and for all building types. This book provides explicit and comprehensive coverage of the most important museums built in the first ten years of the 21st Century in the United States and Europe. By dissecting and analyzing each case, Ronnie Self allows the reader to get under the skin of each design and fully understand the process behind these remarkable buildings. Richly designed with full technical illustrations and sections the book includes the work of Tadao Ando, Zaha Hadid, Peter Cook & Colin Fournier, Renzo Piano, Yoshi Taniguchi, Herzog & de Meuron, Jean Nouvel, SANAA, Daniel Libeskind, Diller Scofidio & Renfro, Steven Holl, Coop Himmelb(l)au, Bernard Tschumi, Sauerbruch Hutton, and Shigeru Ban & Jean de Gastines. Together these diverse projects provide a catalogue of design solutions for the contemporary museum and a snapshot of current architectural thought and culture. One of few books on this subject written by an architect, Self’s analysis thoroughly and critically appraises each project from multiple aspects and crucially takes the reader from concept to building. This is an essential book for any professional engaged in designing a museum.

Download or read book Drumming written by Noe Soulier and published by Mercatorfonds. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1998, Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker returned to two of her greatest childhood loves: pure dance and music by minimalist composer Steve Reich. Rich in twenty years of an abundant choreographic journey, she takes hold of Reich's 'Drumming', a long hypnotic work written for a large percussion ensemble, and gives rise to a feverish and radical show in which the essence seems to have distilled of his style: mathematical patterns, the art of perpetual variation, geometric use of space. 'Drumming' fuses structural refinement, technical virtuosity, the pleasure of dance in its raw state. The energy of kinetic language, costumes by Dries Van Noten and scenography by Jan Versweyveld contribute to extraordinary visual compositions. 'Drumming' has since been taken on stages around the world. The tours were followed by photographers Herman Sorgeloos and Anne Van Aerschot, who today open their extensive photographic archive and offer us a kaleidoscopic glimpse of this iconic spectacle.

Download or read book Sol LeWitt written by Sol LeWitt and published by Corraini Editore. This book was released on 2009 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Books are the best medium for many artists working today," Sol LeWitt (1928-2007) once declared. A pioneer of artist's books, and co-founder of New York's Printed Matter bookstore in 1976, LeWitt is closely identified with the book as an art form. Starting with 1967's Serial Project No. 1 (from Aspen magazine), and closing with Chicago (Morning Star Publications, 2002), this book reproduces covers and spreads from Sol LeWitt's massive oeuvre of artist's books, almost all of which are now rarities. As artist's book historian Clive Phillpot notes, "the principle attribute of LeWitt's books is one common to all books: a dependence upon sequence, whether of families of marks or objects, or of single or permuted series which have clear beginnings and endings." Critical observations from LeWitt himself and a variety of scholars make this volume the most sustained treatment of LeWitt's prolific activity in this area to date.
