This first monograph from New York-based Young Projects explores a new approach to spatial design that combines digital and analog methods at the intersection of exploration and architecture. This monograph introduces the cutting-edge research and work of Young Projects, founded by Bryan Young, where materiality, structure, and form intersect to generate new architectural typologies. The book presents a selection of the practice’s most relevant five innovative houses completed between 2015 and 2020 as well as less in-depth looks at other projects that define the practice. Each house serves as a chapter through which Young Projects’ broader body of work is explored across scales, illustrated through a rich landscape of drawings, diagrams, renderings, mock-ups, prototypes, and photography. The through-line connecting all chapters is the studio’s interest in using ambiguity and anomaly to create novel and accessible spaces, whether for high profile clients like Heidi Klum or a new resort in St Kitts. Young Projects seeks to draw users into immersive spatial experiences that unfold over time, in a manner that is familiar but subtly foreign. This quality of “allure” is a result of a unique and experimental approach to materiality and spatial legibility. These are the threads that tie the work together and have set Young Projects apart as an emerging practice, as well as inform the larger-scale projects the studio undertakes as it enters its second decade. Young Projects’ process often begins with simple exercises in form-finding experiments they undertake within their Brooklyn studio. Material research has included hand-pulling plaster with an irregular knife, using furniture foam as a casting bed, and forming concrete with palm stems. These experiments, among many others, mine characteristics that are not typically associated with conventional architectural materials and break traditional methodology, allowing for qualities of randomness and spontaneity to enter the process of making. The studio finds that letting go of control (at the right moments) produces results that are often surprising, entirely bespoke, and resist replication.

A new selection of E. M. Forster's exquisite short stories, now in the beautifully designed Penguin English Library Series.'We created the Machine, to do our will, but we cannot make it do our will now. It has robbed us of the sense of space and of the sense of touch, it has blurred every human relation and narrowed down love to a carnal act, it has paralyzed our bodies and our wills, and now it compels us to worship it.'Like his much-loved novels, E. M. Forster's short stories are rich in irony and alive with sharp observations on the surprises life holds. Telling tales of violent events, discomforting coincidences, and other disruptive happenings, his sharp and vivid prose has the ability to throw the characters', and reader's, perceptions and beliefs off balance.Selected to appeal to a new generation of readers around the world, this new selection of short stories in the Penguin English Library series celebrates E. M. Forster's unparalleled skill for storytelling, beginning with his masterful work of science fiction, The Machine Stops.

Pero había que esperar el momento adecuado.En la primavera de 1968, el autor y el personaje tuvieron su oportunidad, y Lee presentó el primer cómic de tamaño doble de Silver Surfer. Lee también reclutó al dibujante John Buscema, quien recientemente había contribuido con su extraordinario arte a Los Vengadores. Juntos crearon una serie de aventuras legendarias que ayudaron a definir el personaje para siempre.Este tomo XXL de tamaño cósmico de la serie Marvel Comics Library, ganadora del premio Eisner, recopila las historias más destacadas de los 18 números de Silver Surfer de 1968 (con un número final ilustrado por Jack ''King'' Kirby y reproduce fotográficamente los cómics originales mejor conservados, un trabajo realizado en estrecha colaboración con Marvel y Certified Guaranty Company.Cada página se ha fotografiado tal como se imprimió hace más de medio siglo.

La venerada tradición de la ilustración botánica se remonta al Renacimiento. Surgió del deseo de catalogar la naturaleza en su esplendor impredecible, y la tarea necesitó de la participación de artistas de talento.Con su extraordinaria habilidad para capturar los temas más intrincados de la naturaleza, Pierre-Joseph Redouté está considerado el mejor pintor y grabador de motivos botánicos. Trabajar con plantas vivas en lugar de los especímenes de herbario proporcionó a sus acuarelas una sutileza y frescura inusuales. También fue un innovador en los métodos de impresión, e introdujo en Francia la técnica de grabado del punteado en busca de una mayor exactitud en su arte. Redouté logró por casualidad el apoyo de algunos de los mecenas más influyentes de la época, incluidas María Antonieta y la emperatriz Josefina Bonaparte, lo que le aseguró una buena financiación y exposición de su trabajo.Su impresionante colección comprende más de 2.000 pinturas de plantas realizadas con estricta fidelidad a las formas naturales. En esta exquisita edición de Les Roses, Redouté dirige su atención a la flor más romántica, deseable y evocadora. Publicada originalmente en tres volúmenes entre 1817 y 1824, sigue siendo su obra más famosa y celebrada.

Julian Schnabel convierte la vida en arte y encuentra los asuntos de sus obras en el tejido de lo cotidiano. Utiliza platos rotos como soporte inesperado para sus cuadros y pinta sobre terciopelo, cubiertas de puestos de mercado, fondos de teatro kabuki, lonas militares y de cuadriláteros de boxeo: materiales encontrados que aportan su propia historia a la exploración del artista. Tras el éxito fulgurante de su primera exposición individual en Nueva York en 1979, que lo convirtió en el abanderado del regreso de la pintura, trabajó con todo tipo de medios: realizó esculturas que trasponen sus pinturas al espacio tridimensional como artefactos en bruto, aparentemente desgastados por el paso del tiempo, dirigió películas premiadas que retratan a artistas y otras figuras sutilmente heroicas, e incluso hizo realidad su sueño de construir un palacio veneciano en Nueva York. ''Quiero que mi vida esté en mi obra, comprimida en mi pintura como un coche prensado. De lo contrario, mi trabajo solo son cosas'', ha dicho Schnabel, y esta urgencia impregna su obra sin importar qué soportes o medios elija. Esta monografía de TASCHEN, realizada en estrecha colaboración con el artista, está ahora disponible en una edición popular que presenta la rica variedad de la obra de Schnabel con una profundidad sin precedentes. Completan el volumen textos de amigos y colaboradores: Laurie Anderson elabora una semblanza íntima de Schnabel, en tres ensayos de comisarios e historiadores del arte, Éric de Chassey analiza la pintura, Bonnie Clearwater la escultura y Max Hollein sus obras in situ, Donatien Grau escribe sobre el Palazzo Chupi, la extravagante casa del artista en el West Village de Nueva York, y el novelista Daniel Kehlmann explora su obra cinematográfica. Esta edición le permitirá estudiar las superficies y las acciones y gestos artísticos de Schnabel, y le dará la oportunidad de sentir su arte de un modo que solo experimentarlo en persona puede superar.

Las inolvidables fotografías de Helmut Newton, sofisticadas y provocativas a la vez, constituyen un legado artístico rico que no ha perdido un ápice de relevancia. Este libro presenta una muestra compacta pero amplia de su trabajo, e incluye una reveladora introducción y una pormenorizada cronología biográfica.Las imágenes de Newton se mueven en la ambigüedad, e incluyen alusiones y observaciones sociales que atraen y desafían a la vez a sus espectadores. Esta selección consigue reflejar el punto de vista único de Newton y las complejas corrientes subyacentes que distinguen su trabajo editorial en los campos de la moda y del retrato.Podrá apreciar la evolución de Newton hasta convertirse en un personaje inconformista, astuto y malicioso, voyeur y satírico a la vez, cuyo objetivo capturó aspectos polémicos pero fundamentales de la alta costura y la alta sociedad en las últimas décadas del siglo XX. Trabajaba como ''pistolero a sueldo'' pero a la vez imponía sus propias perspectivas y obsesiones, y definía su idea de una mujer poderosa y segura de sí misma. Esta figura se convirtió en su tema más insistente, desarrollado en escenarios cargados de erotismo, habitualmente en el seductor ambiente de lujosos apartamentos o grandes hoteles, sobre todo en París, Montecarlo y Los Ángeles.Desde mediados de la década de 1960, las dinámicas imágenes de Newton consolidaron su reputación en el mundo de la moda por medio de trabajos publicados en revistas de primer orden, como Vogue Paris, Elle, Marie Claire, Nova, Queen y la edición británica de Vogue. A partir de mediados de los años setenta su fama se extendió gracias a sus primeros libros y exposiciones. Sus imágenes inmortalizan a grandes figuras de la alta sociedad, el cine y la moda, como la princesa Carolina de Mónaco, Charlotte Rampling, Paloma Picasso y Karl Lagerfeld.Las fotografías glamurosas, innovadoras y transgresoras de Helmut Newton tienen un sello propio y una autoridad indiscutible que las hace mantener su dominio en nuestra imaginación.

Esta edición de bolsillo, más amable con la billetera, es un reconocimiento a la creatividad única y cool de Corbijn, tal como Gahan reconoció de manera conmovedora en su discurso, una historia ilustrada de cómo Corbijn se convirtió en 1986 en el director creativo de facto de Depeche Mode y ayudó a cimentar su reputación como el grupo de culto más importante del mundo.Presenta más de 150 fotografías procedentes de los extensos archivos de Corbijn, algunas de ellas inéditas, incluidos retratos formales e informales en lugares como Madrid, Hamburgo, el desierto de California, Praga y Marrakech, una multitud de instantáneas íntimas y espontáneas e impresionantes imágenes de actuaciones en directo de todas sus giras desde 1988 hasta 2023.Creado en estrecha colaboración con los miembros del grupo, que comparten sus impresiones sobre el trabajo con Corbijn, Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn cuenta cómo la estética original de un hombre ha definido todas las fotografías de la banda, así como la mayoría de sus vídeos, el grafismo de sus álbumes y el diseño de sus escenarios para ayudar a dar forma a su popularidad inextinguible. Al reflexionar sobre el rol que desempeña en Depeche, Corbijn recuerda en la introducción del libro: ''Se me ocurrieron muchas ideas y quería que encajasen con ellos. Quería pensar por ellos. Ser grande para ellos''. Este libro es un homenaje a la profundidad y extensión de esa grandeza, una celebración de una de las colaboraciones más creativas y duraderas de la historia del rock.

As remarkable as Columbus and the conquistador expeditions, the history of Portuguese exploration is now almost forgotten. But Portugal's navigators cracked the code of the Atlantic winds, launched the expedition of Vasco da Gama to India and beat the Spanish to the spice kingdoms of the East - then set about creating the first long-range maritime empire.
