Synopsis "Hot to Cold "

After the global success of Yes is More, one of the best-selling architecture books of its generation, BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group presents Hot to Cold, an Odyssey of Architectural Adaptation. The book coincides with the Hot to Cold show at the National Building Museum in Washington DC and presents 60 case studies in harsh climate conditions in order to examine where and how we live on our planet.As we travel from one end of the spectrum to its opposite we will see that the more harsh the climate gets, the more intense its impact on the architecture. The central challenge is to mitigate the climatic extremes for hospitable human life, while finding solutions that can be both economically and environmentally profitable.Architecture is the art and science of accommodating the lives we want to live. Our cities and buildings aren't givens; they are the way they are because that is as far as we have gotten to date. They are the best efforts of our ancestors and fellow planetizens, and if they have shortcomings, it is up to us to continue that effort, pick up where they left off. Hot to Cold stays true to BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group's grand mission to find a pragmatic utopia, shaping not only a particular structural entity, but the kind of world we wish to inhabit.The book features: Design from award-winning artists Sagmeister & WalshPreviously unpublished essays by Bjarke Ingels.A convertible dust jacket-poster.

TASCHEN es una editorial alemana fundada en 1980 por Benedikt Taschen, reconocida internacionalmente por democratizar los libros de arte, fotografía, arquitectura, cine y diseño con ediciones visualmente impactantes y precios más accesibles que los tradicionales volúmenes de colección. Desde sus inicios en Colonia, la editorial apostó por combinar alta calidad gráfica con una mirada amplia sobre la cultura visual, publicando desde monografías de artistas clásicos hasta estudios sobre cultura pop, erotismo, publicidad y cine. Su catálogo se volvió inconfundible por el gran formato, el cuidado diseño editorial y esas portadas que parecen exigir una mesa enorme solo para poder abrirlas cómodamente.

Entre sus títulos más conocidos se encuentra Arquitectura Moderna de la A a la Z, una extensa guía ilustrada sobre figuras, movimientos y obras fundamentales de la arquitectura contemporánea. TASCHEN también ha publicado libros dedicados a Salvador Dalí, Stanley Kubrick, David Hockney, manga, fotografía de moda y diseño industrial, consolidando un catálogo extremadamente diverso. La editorial ha logrado equilibrar investigación, atractivo visual y difusión cultural masiva, convirtiéndose en una referencia imprescindible para lectores interesados en artes visuales y coleccionismo editorial.
