With offices in Milan and New York, Lissoni & Partners has a
30-year history in developing international projects in the fields
of architecture, landscape, interior, product, and graphic design,
as well as acting as art director for a range of prestigious
companies. Led by Piero Lissoni, the practice combines a range of
expertise with a tailored approach that sets it apart, establishing
a stylistic code and a visual identity that are clearly
recognizable. The works are inspired by a sense of rigor and
simplicity and are characterized by a regard to detail, coherence,
and elegance with particular attention to proportion and harmony.
Piero Lissoni is creative director for Alpi, B&B Italia, Boffi,
Living Divani, Lema, Lualdi, Porro, and Sanlorenzo, for whom he
also designs an extensive range of products. Recognized as one of
the masters of contemporary design, he has worked with many
international brands including Alessi, Antrax, Atlas Concorde,
Bonacina 1889, Cappellini, Cassina, Cotto, De Padova, Fantini,
Fendi Casa, Flos, illycaffè, Janus et Cie, Kartell, Kerakoll,
Knoll, Olivari, Salvatori, and Tecno. Organized around different
fields of intervention, the practice comprises Lissoni Casal
Ribeiro for masterplans, landscape design, and architecture;
Lissoni Associati for interior design, product design, art
direction, and fit-outs; and Lissoni Graphx for graphic design,
visual communication, and brand identity, while Lissoni New York
develops architecture and interior design projects for the American
continent. The book, edited by Stefano Casciani, is the first
far-reaching monographic study on Lissoni, richly illustrated with
photographs, renderings, floor plans, and sketches. It is
structured by theme and includes Lissoni’s most important
projects for industrial and residential architecture, as well as
commercial and public spaces, museums displays, boat, and product
design.
Labics, based in Rome, is a leader among Italy's up-and-coming
architecture firms and has gained great international acclaim for
submissions to competitions and a number of realised projects. This
first-ever monograph on Labic's fast growing, impressive body of
work features some twenty of their designs, representing the entire
range of the firm's achievements. The selection comprises housing
and office buildings, museums and cultural centres, schools, public
spaces, and subway stations, located in Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Finland, Iran, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, and the UK. All
are documented with atmospheric photographs and a wealth of plans
and diagrams to illustrate the concept and many details of each
project. Structure, in a variety of notions of the term, is guiding
Labic's approach. Consequently, the book is arranged in five
chapters exploring geometric, bearing, circulation, public space,
and urban and territorial structures in topical essays. This
provides the frame for the featured projects, all of which
exemplify the importance of the respective type of structure for
Labic's work.
An exquisitely crafted, large format volume featuring new and
previously unpublished artwork by legendary architect Thom Mayne,
principal of Morphosis Architects. Strange Networks debuts a new
body of artwork and studies by Pritzker Prize-winning architect
Thom Mayne. Emerging from the same interests that shape the design
philosophy of his internationally renowned architecture firm
Morphosis, the works explore the tension between organizational
systems and chance behavior, between the manual and digital, and
between individual and collective authorship. Reproduced in
exquisite detail, the intricate lithographic prints and digitally
derived sculptural works--or "drawdels" for how they combine the
notion of drawing and modelling--embody a search for forms and
methods resonant with our contemporary state of instability and
hyper-connection. With a foreword by Thom Mayne and essays by
Stefano Casciani, Sir Peter Cook, Craig Hodgetts, and Frederic
Migayrou.
