‘Textile Tectonics’ laat zien hoe natuurlijke, ornamentele en folkloristische patronen digitaal kunnen worden uitgewerkt tot adembenemende, programmeerbare en daadwerkelijk te bouwen structuren – van bladnerven tot gotische roosvensters, van schuimformaties tot traditionele haarvlechtstijlen en van Keltisch knoopwerk tot breipatronen. Internationaal vermaard architect en onderzoeker Lars Spuybroek doet onderzoek naar de relatie tussen kunst, architectuur en informatietechnologie. Nadat standaardisatie en massaproductie de twintigste eeuw hebben bepaald, bieden hedendaagse digitale technieken ongekende nieuwe mogelijkheden. Textile Tectonics brengt dit nieuwe terrein in kaart. Spuybroek biedt een theoretisch kader en een uitgebreide taxonomie van patronen en structuren, gevolgd door meer dan honderd rijk geïllustreerde pagina’s met ontwerpen voor wolkenkrabbers en gevels gebaseerd op organiserende principes uiteenlopend van roosvensters tot breiwerk. – Textile Tectonics shows how natural, ornamental and folkloric patterns can be digitally elaborated into breathtaking, programmable and actually buildable structures – from leaf veins to Gothic rose windows, from foam formations to traditional hair braiding styles and from Celtic knotwork to knitting patterns. Internationally renowned architect and researcher Lars Spuybroek conducts research into the relationship between art, architecture and information technology. After standardization and mass production defined the twentieth century, today’s digital techniques offer unprecedented new possibilities. Textile Tectonics is mapping out this new terrain. Spuybroek offers a theoretical framework and an extensive taxonomy of patterns and structures, followed by more than a hundred richly illustrated pages with designs for skyscrapers and facades based on organizing principles ranging from rose windows to knitting. -Engelstalig boek

Bob Manders
Personal Diversity
For English see below- In 'Personal diversity' laat de Nederlandse architect Bob Manders zien hoe uiteenlopende smaken en voorkeuren harmonieus kunnen samenwerken binnen een bepaalde stijl of concept. Met de oneindige verscheidenheid van de natuur als inspiratiebron creëert hij structuren die niet gemakkelijk te categoriseren zijn en die de individualiteit van zijn klanten sterk weerspiegelen. Hij combineert inzicht in architectonische principes uit het verleden met een passie voor innovatie, waarbij hij rekening houdt met licht en de impact ervan, context, flexibiliteit en veelzijdigheid. Zijn innovatieve omgang met de ruimte is gebaseerd op zijn Nederlandse afkomst, met een respect voor licht en schaduw dat de verbinding tussen binnen en buiten erkent. Zijn ontwerpen kenmerken zich met open, frisse en witte ruimtes, maar ook kamers die warm, donker en gezellig zijn. Hij gaat de uitdaging aan om alle zintuigen te gebruiken als het gaat om architectuur, met minimalistische ontwerpen die het traditionele en het moderne op sublieme wijze vermengen. - In 'Personal diversity', Dutch architect Bob Manders shows how different tastes and preferences can work together harmoniously within a certain style or concept. Using nature's infinite variety as his inspiration, he creates structures that can't be easily categorized, and strongly reflect the individuality of his clients. He combines insight into architectural principles of the past with a passion for innovation, considering light and its impact, context, flexibility and versatility. His innovative treatment of space draws on his Dutch heritage, with a respect for light and shadow that acknowledges the connection between the inside and the outside. His designs feature open, fresh and white spaces, but also rooms that are warm, dark and cozy. He addresses the challenge of using all the senses when it comes to architecture, with minimalist designs which sublimely blend the traditional and the modern.

Twentieth Century Japanese Bronze Flower Vases
'The Becker Collection - Twentieth century Japanese bronze flower vases' contains the private collection of twentieth century bronze flower vases compiled by Ton and Mies Becker, both retired medical specialists van collectors of Asian art. With the introduction of Buddhism in Japan in the sixth century, bronze containers for flowers to be placed on the altar became important religious objects. In the fifteenth century the Buddhist monk Senno Ikenobô founded the art of flower arranging, which started what nowadays is known as ikebana, the traditional Japanes way of floral art. Presently only the Ikenobô ikebana school still uses bronze flower vases, while all other ikebana schools use other materials like ceramics and bamboo. Following the Meije restauration (1868-1912) the Japanese art world was confronted with Western art styles, in particular the Art Deco movement. The twentieth century flower vases in this collection show a variety in shape and style, in part based on traditional Buddhist temple style vases and in part on the streamlined and geometrical style of the Art Deco movement, albeit often with a distinct 'Japanese touch'. A few introductory essays provide some background information about 'bronzes in Japanese culture', 'the patination of flower bronzes' and 'the tomobako (storage box)'. The catalogue of the vases is arranged according to the bronze worker and presented in alphabetical order in the traditional Japanese way, i.e. the family name first, followed by the given name. All vases are shown together with their tomobako -if available- and with their signature or seal. Brief biographical data are included once available.kunst

Twentieth Century Modernisms in Balinese Wood Carvings
'The Becker Collection - Twentieth century modernisms in Balinese wood carving' contains the private collection of twentieth century ?modern style? Balinese wood carvings, collected by Ton and Mies Becker, both retired medical specialists and collectors of Asian art. Between the 8th and 10th century Hindu influences spread to Bali and blended into the exiting Balinese mix of animistic and Buddhist styles and subjects, known as Bali Aga. Hence, in due time the craftsmen obtained the subjects for their works from the Hindu-Balinese religion and their heroes and demons from famous Hindu epics. This particular style became known in the Western art world as the ?Traditional or Old Balinese style?. In the 20th century the arts and crafts scene in Bali changed completely. First because of Western artist who visited Bali and stayed on to work there and, second, because of the gradual influx of increasing numbers of foreign tourists. In addition the Dutch colonial government started a military campaign to control the powerful kingdoms of central and southern Bali. As a result the local craftsmen lost their royal support and soon realized that foreign tourists were not particularly interested in gods and heroes. Hence, stimulated by some of the Western artists who had settled in Bali, they turned to secular subjects taken from nature and everyday life and became more impressionistic in the execution. This led to a range of new styles, often impressionistic and sometimes even minimalistic and caricatural with bizarre elongated shapes or solid compact forms. In this book we are concerned with this particular type of 20th century ?Modern Style? Balinese wood carving. The catalogue contains 40 objects of ?modern style? wood carving, representing different styles. Each object is photographed, both as an overview and in details if so requested. A brief description of each object is provided, together with the estimated date, and additional information is provided if considered useful. The catalogue is preceded by an essay on the history of Balinese wood carving.kunst
