Présentation de l'éditeur :
Shops are the one place where the stars of the world of architecture,
from David Adjaye to Rem Koolhaas and Zaha Hadid
encounter the people who make the world of design turn, from Jurgen
Bey to Tom Dixon, Ingo Maurer, or Philippe Starck. This book
is full of the most recent retail spaces in the world, ranging from
astonishing shopping centers by Daniel Libeskind or the
young Swiss firm HHF to interactive store windows or a
tiny jewel-like chocolate store in the heart of Paris. A pop-up store
for Dr. Martens shoes, a unique newsstand designed for
London by Thomas Heatherwick or flagship stores for the
likes of Armani, Balenciaga, or Joseph are all part of
what makes Retail Architecture one of the most exciting and dynamic
areas of contemporary creativity. Apple computers, Uniqlo
clothes, or Nike shoes can all be found here in a spirit of
perfect harmony with the best that today's architecture and design can
offer. Books, jewelry, fine foods and handbags are glorified and
amplified by glass, steel, and the latest, most sophisticated techniques
in design and branding. This is where Peter Marino meets Karl
Lagerfeld, and where Yoshioka Tokujin breaths life into Hermès scarves.
Ephemeral by design in many cases, Shopping Architecture Now!
is also the place where the makers of dreams finally find a solid home.
