Hardcover, 256 pages, English, book in perfect condition, with pictures in b/w, . ISBN 9781421411620. The bold lines and decorative details of Art Deco have stood the test of time since one of its first appearances in the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris in 1925. Reflecting the confidence of modern mentality-streamlined, chrome, and glossy black-along with simple elegance, sharp lines, and cosmopolitan aspirations, Art Deco carried surprises, juxtaposing designs growing out of speed (racecars and airplanes) with ancient Egyptian and Mexican details, visual references to Russian ballet, and allusions to Asian art. While most often associated with such masterworks as New York's Chrysler Building, Art Deco is evident in the architecture of many U.S. cities, including Washington and Baltimore. By updating the findings of two regional studies from the 1980s with new research, Richard Striner and Melissa Blair explore the most significant Art Deco buildings still standing and mourn those that have been lost. This comparative study illuminates contrasts between the white-collar New Deal capital and the blue-collar industrial port city, while noting such striking commonalities as the regional patterns of Baltimore's John Jacob Zinc, who designed Art Deco cinemas in both cities. Uneven preservation efforts have allowed significant losses, but surviving examples of Art Deco architecture include the Bank of America building in Baltimore (now better known as 10 Light Street) and the Uptown Theater on Connecticut Avenue NW in Washington. Although possibly less glamorous or flamboyant than exemplars in New York or Miami, the authors find these structures-along with apartment houses and government buildings-typical of the Deco architecture found throughout the United States and well worth preserving. Demonstrating how an international design movement found its way into ordinary places, this study will appeal to architectural historians, as well as regional residents interested in developing a greater appreciation of Art Deco architecture in the mid-Atlantic region.

Relie, couverture carton illustree, 160 x 215mm., 64pp., illustration profonde en couleurs. ISBN 9782916914206. Normal Studio est une jeune agence parisienne de creation industrielle, fondee en 2006 par Jean-Francois Dingjian (ne en 1966) et Eloi Chafai (ne en 1979). Ils se sont rencontres en 2000 a l'Ecole nationale superieure de creation industrielle (ENSCI) de Paris, ou l'un etait professeur et l'autre eleve. Un duo se forme et leur travail est rapidement remarque dans le milieu du design francais et international. Le studio vient notamment d'etre selectionne par Philippe Starck et le salon Maison et Objet pour figurer parmi les dix createurs de l'annee 2010. Ce livre propose une reflexion inedite autour du travail realise par les deux designers, qui se definissent eux-memes comme des ?« createurs de design normal ?». Refusant un design demonstratif et spectaculaire, Jean-Francois Dingjian et Eloi Chafai preferent un travail de la simplicite, de l'essentiel, avec un souci constant de l'utilite et de la lisibilite. Ils prennent pour base les possibilites techniques de production industrielle et (re)decouvrent des astuces, des cles de construction. Pliage, moulage, trempage, fraisage... autant de procedes a partir desquels ils concoivent des oeuvres novatrices et ingenieuses, a l'image des lampes Diamond Boxes (2007), pour lesquelles de simples aimants permettent de placer et d'orienter le luminaire sur un rail de metal. Imaginant la collection ?« Surfaces ?» en 2009 pour la marque Tolix, ils creent des treteaux superposables et empilables, elabores a partir d'une simple feuille de metal decoupee et pliee. Pour l'elegante collection de meubles ?« Diamant ?», la technique qui structure la surface est directement inspiree de portes de garage en tole. Premier livre consacre au travail de l'agence, ce catalogue presente egalement dans le detail douze projets, chacun accompagne de photographies realisees specialement pour la publication et dont la mise en scene a ete pensee par les designers eux-memes. Edition bilingue. Nouveau.
