Cowboys stadium : architecture, art, entertainment in the twenty-first century / by Dillon, David,1941-2010.; Pagel, David.(CARDINAL)266000;
Machine generated contents note:"In the design and construction of the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, an inspired mission to integrate world-class contemporary art into a state-of-the-art football stadium created an instant architectural icon." "Twenty-one works of contemporary art, most commissioned for specific sites within the stadium, were installed to dynamically complement the architecture. Artists ranging from established stars of the art world like Olafur Eliasson, Lawrence Weiner, and Mel Bochner were joined by mid-career artists such as Matthew Ritchie, Doug Aitken, Teresita Fernandez, and others, with the resulting collection rivaling any world-class museum." "Even without the art, Cowboys Stadium is an engineering marvel. A twenty-first-century retractable roof and endzone door system allows natural light and air to flood the column-free interior space, home to the world's largest video screen. Lauded by the Wall Street Journal as "simply mesmerizing," Cowboys Stadium is a work of art in its own right. This volume captures the exhilarating synergy of architecture, art, and entertainment in this distinctive landmark."--BOOK JACKET.

Authentic design : Lauren Rottet & Rottet studio / by Rottet, Lauren,author.(CARDINAL)681082; Goldberger, Paul,Writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)159826;
This book features the work of Lauren Rottet over the past fifteen years and includes the interiors of houses, apartments, hotels, and design studio offices in the wide range of styles at which Rottet Studio is adept, from elegant Modernism to Beaux-Arts classicism. Rottet-designed spaces are artfully curated living/working spaces that transcend their formal use and become places in which people ponder, experience, and are inspired. These environments, though immediately beautiful to the eye, are not meant to be one-moment impacts and instead are designed to reveal themselves over time. Above all, her elegant, contemporary designs, like pieces of art, emphasize transparency and light.

The look of architecture / by Rybczynski, Witold.(CARDINAL)135788;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 121-124) and index.What is style in architecture? "Style is like a feather in a woman's hat, nothing more," said Le Corbusier, expressing most modern architects' low regard for the subject. But Witold Rybczynski disagrees, and in The Look of Architecture, he makes a compelling case for the importance of style to the mother of the arts. This is a book brimming with sharp observations--that form does not follow function; that the best architecture is not timeless but precisely of its time; that details do not merely complement the architecture--details are the architecture. But the heart of the book illuminates the connection between architecture, interior decoration, and fashion. Style is the language of architecture, Rybczynski writes, and fashion represents the wide--and swirling--cultural currents that shape and direct that language. The two, style and fashion, are intimately linked--indeed, architecture cannot escape fashion. To set these ideas in sharp relief, he shows us how style and fashion have been expressed in the work of major architects--including Frank Gehry, Mies van der Rohe, Charles McKim, Allan Greenberg, Robert Venturi, Enrique Norten, and many others. He helps us see their works anew and ultimately to look afresh at our surroundings. Style is one of the enduring--and endearing--aspects of architecture, Rybczynski concludes. Furthermore, an architecture that recognizes the importance of style would not be as introspective and self-referential as are so many contemporary buildings. It would be part of the world--not architecture for architects, but for the rest of us.

Light in nature : North Carolina Museum of Art, Fishers Island House. by Baan, Iwan,1975-photographer.(CARDINAL)312724; Frances, Scott,1958-(CARDINAL)303794; Ryan, Raymund,writer of supplementary textual content.(CARDINAL)282612; ORO Editions,publisher.(CARDINAL)853841;
Inside the North Carolina Museum of Art (NCMA), the light of day and lush surrounding fields have a presence unusual in institutional galleries for art. Overhead, hundreds of elliptical oculi in long parallel vaults bathe the museum interior in even, full-spectrum daylight, modulated by layers that filter out damaging rays. In this gently luminous setting, against pure white walls, the art, including a masterful Giotto altarpiece, takes on heightened immediacy and vividness. A departure from traditional hierarchies, the museum is, in some respects, a single 65,000-square-foot room. Within this spatial continuum, a succession of wall planes, many freestanding without reaching the ceiling, delineate separate galleries. Instead of fully enclosed rooms, each gallery has at least one open corner, inviting fluid movement. Museumgoers also float freely from indoor galleries to outdoor sculpture courts or gardens and back in again. Because NCMA has no entry fee, it could forego formal checkpoints, transcending any need for a grand and controlling front hall.

Nowhere is this more apparent than in the built environment of this diverse nation. With over 1100 beautifully photographed illustrations and more than 200,000 words of detailed text, The Atlas of American Architecture reflects this magnificent abundance. Ranging in its attention from such early manifestations of building as the Hohokam Salt River Irrigation Canals of Southern Arizona (0-1450 CE) to the most sophisticated structures of our modern cities to such ordinary and yet essential subjects as the parkways on which we drive, the theaters in which are entertained, the gardens in which we take our leisure, and the houses in which we live, this volume comprehensively tells the story of building in America. It is at once a practical guide for those who would travel to a nation's monuments and architectural curiosities as well as a treasure trove of imagery and information."--Jacket.
