一本介绍北欧加拿大建筑师托德·桑德斯(Todd Saunders)的住宅的豪华专著。
住在挪威的加拿大建筑师托德·桑德斯对北极景观有着独特的理解。他的设计位于地球上一些最偏远的地方,融合了现代雕塑形式与对自然的敬畏。在他的作品中可以看到他对自然景观的重视,如福戈岛旅馆和纽芬兰艺术家工作室。桑德斯没有把建筑强加给乡村和海岸,而是在居住地的景观中,在冰雪覆盖的植物、动物和树木之间,寻求恰到好处的平衡。
本书重点介绍了桑德斯的住宅设计,包括他最近在斯堪的纳维亚半岛和加拿大的11个项目,拍摄了它们壮观的风景。本书中有大量精美的建筑外立面图片和北欧风格的室内镜头,每个条目都附有多米尼克·布拉德伯里(Dominic Bradbury)与建筑师密切合作撰写的描述。工作的过程和方式,以及桑德斯的灵感和设计理念一同以图纸、计划和摄影的方式,呈现在一个章节中。本书插图令人目眩,介绍了一位处于鼎盛时期的北欧风格设计师。
A lavish monograph featuring the houses of the major Nordic-
Canadian architect Todd Saunders.
Norway-based Canadian architect Todd Saunders has a unique understanding of the arctic landscape. His designs, set in some of the most remote locations on earth, splice modern sculptural forms with a deeply rooted respect for nature. His care for the natural landscape can be seen in his work, such as the Fogo Island Inn and the artists studios in Newfoundland. Rather than imposing themselves upon the countryside and coast, Saunders’s buildings seek a sensitive accommodation within the topography, among the icy flora, fauna, and treescapes of the landscapes they inhabit.
This volume focuses on Saunders’s residential designs and includes eleven of his most recent projects across Scandinavia and Canada, photographed amid their dramatic landscapes. Specially commissioned photography for the book includes a wealth of inspiring exterior and Nordic-
style interior shots and each entry is accompanied by descriptions written by Dominic Bradbury in close collaboration with the architect. Sections on process and ways of working, as well as Saunders’s inspirations and design philosophy are interwoven in separate sections, which include drawings, plans, and photography. Todd Saunders is a dazzling monograph of a Nordic-inspired designer at the height of his powers.
