Monacelli Press
The Monacelli Press is a leading publisher of books on architecture, the fine arts, interior design, landscape architecture, photography, and graphic design.
The Monacelli Press has published more than 250 books since it was established in 1994, books that are distinctive for both content and visual presentation.
S,M,L,XL, by Rem Koolhaas and Bruce Mau, is unsurpassed in its influence on design publishing–it is the book to which all architectural monographs are compared.
New York 1880 and New York 1960, by Robert A. M. Stern & his editorial team, are similarly unmatched in their exhaustive presentations of the history of New York City.
The Press is also known for studies of historic & contemporary artists & architects; for exceptional volumes on traditional for perceptive photo documentation of places and events; for contemporary interior design; for energetic collections of graphic and product design.
The wide variety of subjects–the architecture and interiors of Harlem, crime-scene dioramas known as the Nutshell Studies built in the 1940s and 1950s, Italian rationalist architect Giuseppe Terragni, the spectacular gardens of Dumbarton Oaks, the design and installation of contemporary museums–is a testament to the incisive and insightful approach of The Monacelli Press.
Publisher Gianfranco Monacelli conceived the venture as "a distinct & stimulating voice in the visual arts to reinterpret & challenge the conventional boundaries of the field, to bring forth the best, most provocative, and the most substantive of what the finest creative minds–and eyes–have to offer."
Renzo Piano Museums first published in the United States of America in 2007 by Monacelli Press.
Renzo Piano is the founder of the Piano Building Workshop, a multi-faces practice with offices in Paris & Genoa. He has been awarded RIBA Royal Gold Medal, the Pritzker Prize, & the Medaille d'Or, UIA.
This unique & outstanding book is a result of several people's collaboration: Stefania Canta, Giorgio Bianchi, Giovanna Giusto of the Renzo Piano Building Workshop, Michael Bierut & Michelle Leong of Pentagram.
Fully illustrated, this unique book is very informative, educational & entertaining.
Centre National d'Art et de Culture Georges Pompidou is the first Renzo Piano's museum project. Renzo Piano & Richard Rogers designed the multipurpose structure, which Piano named "a rebellion against the mystification of culture."
And this 'rebellion' had a mission to change museums worldwide: from forbidding fortresses to inviting places of public entertainment & interaction.
Renzo Piano Museums presents a portfolio of eighteen fascinating museum projects, including Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Menil Collection in Houston, the Foundation Beyeler on the outskirt of Basel, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, The Morgan Library & Museum in New York...
Support And Resist by Nina Rappaport first published by the Monacelli Press in 2007. This title contains detailed information about structural engineering & design innovations. Nina Rappaport has met several great engineers, visited their projects...
Today is a time when the engineer's contribution to the transformation of design & buildings practice must be acknowledged. Engineers're playing an essential role in the making of new, complex, and efficient structures. The design engineer's orientation toward formal issues & the architect's collaboration with the engineer have created a new paradigm.
Contemporary practices have formed an exceptional moment in structural design & infrastructure in "a new blurring & overlap of responsibilities..."
This great book contains unique information about wonderful engineer-designers & their creations. It is Arup, Bollinger & Grohmann, Buro Happold, Guy Nordenson and Associates...
Sir Ove Arup (1895-1988) said that "an engineer must be devoted to architecture. He must have enthusiasm. He must not just be a calculator or analyzer, he must be a creative designer." In This title Nina Rappaport talks about such engineers...
Buildings And Towns by Robert A. M. Stern first published by the Monacelli Press.
Robert A. M. Stern writes in this book's preface "...We welcome new ideas & draw upon the most sophisticated technology available & appropriate to the task at hand. But we regard technology as a tool, not as an end unto itself."
Buildings And Towns is a collaborative effort of many people. It is a collaboration of the talent & knowledge.
Robert A. M. Stern committed to architecture that reinterprets past to serve contemporary life. This title explores a wide range of building types: university buildings, cultural centers, libraries, office & residential towers built throughout the over past 20 years. It is the Miami Beach Public Library, multiple projects for Disney, the Ambassador Hotel in Japan, apartments towers, new landmark residential structure in New York.
Robert A.M. Stern is an architect, historian, educator. He is the founding partner of Robert A.M. Stern Architects & dean of the Yale School of Architecture.
He's the author of the monumental five-volume history of New York's architecture & urban development.
