It is also a conscious pivot towards sustainability and reduction of impact on the environment as well as a daring attitude of change in lifestyle. As humanity faces inevitable pressures such as climate change, an increase in population, and strain on resources, these solutions are helping shape what the world may look like in the future. Whether in the dense urban areas of Tokyo, the wilderness of Australia, the woods of Canada, or a rooftop in Ecuador, this is the world of Small Houses . The one common point they share, is that they all have an area of no more than 100 square meters . Spanning 25 countries such as Brazil, Hungary, South Korea, Netherlands, USA, Japan, and Australia, described here there are houses designed by 57 architects , including Takeshi Hosaka’s Love2 House, Aranza de Ariño’s Casa Tiny, and the work of Jakub Szczęsny, Charles Pictet, Lada Hršak, BIG, and Fran Silvestre. This is a journey not only through recent evolutions in architectural design and creativity, but it is also a step toward a more sustainable world.","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Taschen | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Multilingual (English, French, German)","offer_id":53458039341269,"sku":"9783836587013","price":320000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/365bcaa482c0174cd4194c51e547d677.png?v=1773905187"},{"product_id":"00601-homes-for-our-time-contemporary-houses-around-the-world-vol-3","title":"Homes For Our Time. Contemporary Houses around the World. Vol․ 3","description":"Peeking behind the scenes of innovative homes , Philip Jodidio illustrates the evolution of today’s global architecture —from Samira Rathod’s House of Concrete Experiments in India to Tetro’s Açucena House in Brazil, which adapts to its natural terrain. The houses featured in this book may be the first full generation to take advantage of the ubiquity of computing power—from design to fabrication—yet this high-tech approach has in no way diminished their variety and originality. In Italy, Mario Cucinella built TECLA – Technology and Clay, a 3D-printed house created entirely with raw earth. The unique house, printed in 200 hours with 60 cubic meters of natural materials, unveils potential low-cost, environmentally responsible approaches to architecture. In Hyderabad, India, Kanan Modi designed her House of Gardens not only to diffuse and reduce heat within the structure but also to invite the beauty of nature indoors—both essential in the face of rising temperatures and increasing urbanization. These forward-thinking buildings were designed by capitalizing on technological advances such as video conferencing and 3D printing, fostering inventiveness and imagination, and yielding sustainable, site-specific homes. Atelier Bow-Wow virtually directed the construction of their Peninsula House on the Greek island of Antiporos during the COVID-19 pandemic; Mariko Mori’s Yuputira unifies her artistic and architectural aesthetics; and Anne Fougeron’s Suspension House breathes new life into a remarkable natural setting. Detailing 59 cutting-edge projects from 25 countries —ranging from Guatemala and Slovenia to Norway and Vietnam—the third volume of the Homes for Our Time series takes readers on an illustrated visit of contemporary architectural gems, discovering the architects who are driving change in the field now, and in the future. These homes are the beating heart of creativity that will inspire architecture for decades to come.","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Taschen | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Multilingual (English, French, German)","offer_id":53458039374037,"sku":"9783836594493","price":320000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/288d558a9a2376dbe75da9500e18c9e5.png?v=1773905185"},{"product_id":"00603-homes-for-our-time-sustainable-living","title":"Homes for Our Time. Sustainable Living","description":"Travel across continents and climates to experience architecture that’s rewriting the rules of sustainability . Like the other titles in our Homes for Our Time series, each of the 63 projects in Sustainable Living opens a window into a unique dwelling inspired by the pressures and possibilities of a warming planet with finite resources. The result is a sweeping story of architects, ranging from Norman Foster to the Snøhetta practice, building in bold new ways that honor the ecosystems our planet depends on. Homes that strive to leave the lightest possible imprint , from the moment their materials are sourced to the day they’re returned to the earth. Energy-efficient envelopes, low-impact structures, recycled and biodegradable materials , designs attuned to sun, wind and rain. Each construction is an illuminating chapter in architecture’s evolving quest to do no harm, beautifully photographed and annotated, alongside biographies of the architects who created them. No single region or style holds the monopoly on eco-friendly innovation. Marvel at the multiplicity of inventive responses : affordable bamboo structures rising above floodwaters in Hanoi, a home created from locally-quarried rock and slate in a Japanese forest, a brick cube encouraging passive cooling in the heat of Ahmedabad, an emergency shelter literally unrolled in a Venetian garden, a passive house nestled beneath Australian treetops. Whether modest or monumental, these enviable projects prove that sustainability isn’t a look or a pose, but a mindset that transcends traditions, borders, and budgets . Each one invites us to design smarter, live lighter, and waste nothing.","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Taschen | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Multilingual (English, French, German)","offer_id":53458039537877,"sku":"9783836596893","price":320000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/a40ad6b2d83df06e25bcb807a19f2eb3.png?v=1773905187"},{"product_id":"01157-the-art-and-science-of-ernst-haeckel","title":"The Art and Science of Ernst Haeckel","description":"Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919) was a German-born biologist, naturalist, evolutionist, artist, philosopher, and doctor who spent his life researching flora and fauna from the highest mountaintops to the deepest ocean . A vociferous supporter and developer of Darwin’s theories of evolution, he denounced religious dogma, authored philosophical treatises, gained a doctorate in zoology, and coined scientific terms which have passed into common usage, including ecology, phylum, and stem cell. At the heart of Haeckel’s colossal legacy was the motivation not only to discover but also to explain. To do this, he created hundreds of detailed drawings, watercolors, and sketches of his findings which he published in successive volumes, including several marine organism collections and the majestic Kunstformen der Natur ( Art Forms in Nature) , which could serve as the cornerstone of Haeckel’s entire life project. Like a meticulous visual encyclopedia of living things , Haeckel’s work was as remarkable for its graphic precision and meticulous shading as for its understanding of organic evolution. From bats to the box jellyfish, lizards to lichen, and spider legs to sea anemones, Haeckel emphasized the essential symmetries and order of nature, and found biological beauty in even the most unlikely of creatures. In this book, we celebrate the scientific, artistic, and environmental importance of Haeckel’s work, with a collection of 450 of his finest prints from several of his most important tomes, including Die Radiolarien , Monographie der Medusen , Die Kalkschwämme , and Kunstformen der Natur . At a time when biodiversity is increasingly threatened by human activities, the book is at once a visual masterwork, an underwater exploration, and a vivid reminder of the precious variety of life .","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Taschen | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Multilingual (English, French, German)","offer_id":53458043109589,"sku":"9783836526463","price":800000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/f4a785de7c0606911ff05403f774b56d.png?v=1773905259"},{"product_id":"04697-bjarne-mastenbroek-dig-it-building-bound-to-the-ground","title":"Bjarne Mastenbroek. Dig it! Building Bound to the Ground","description":"Building is one of very few endeavours that are physically connected to the surface of the earth , fixed and enduring. Nevertheless, for centuries, especially in the West, we have considered ourselves separate and above nature, drifting away, defining our own systems and order, and using the ground as a nothing more than a passive foundation. Other times we sought connection, drawing on nature for ritual and religion, fortified protection, and ecological balance. This global compendium of nearly 1,400 pages brings architecture back in harmony with Earth’s surface. For years, Bjarne Mastenbroek and his architectural firm, SeARCH , have delved into the relationship architecture has, had, and will have with its surroundings, seeing buildings as landscapes that fit into their site without dominating or disturbing it . For Dig It! , they have dug deep into the history of building culture and brought to light fascinating examples of this philosophy—some well known, some previously overlooked. From African churches chiseled from rock and Chinese villages dug into terrains to Parisian housing vibrantly overgrown and a villa built into the cliffs of Capri (famously featured in the film Le Mépris starring Brigitte Bardot), this book dissects structures from the past millennia. Part atlas, part encyclopedia, it highlights traditional vernacular practices, reconsiders all-time favorites, and celebrates contemporary examples across the globe. Designed by Mevis \u0026amp; Van Deursen, the extensive collection features analytical drawings from SeARCH and photo essays by Iwan Baan. Dig It! acknowledges an effort to reconnect architecture and landscape and merge building with ground. Separated into six chapters (or “strategies”) —Bury, Embed, Absorb, Spiral, Carve, and Mimic—this remarkable survey reveals humanity’s connection to the earth through building culture: clever and utterly relevant for the challenges that we have and will face in both urban and natural environments .","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Taschen | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":53458056052949,"sku":"9783836578172","price":500000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/8ac68176318ead714d1c97a2ab5e5262.png?v=1773905463"},{"product_id":"04698-julia-watson-lo-tek-design-by-radical-indigenism","title":"Julia Watson. Lo—TEK. Design by Radical Indigenism","description":"Three hundred years ago, intellectuals of the European Enlightenment constructed a mythology of technology . Influenced by a confluence of humanism, colonialism, and racism, this mythology ignored local wisdom and indigenous innovation , deeming it primitive. Today, we have slowly come to realize that the legacy of this mythology is haunting us . Designers understand the urgency of reducing humanity’s negative environmental impact , yet perpetuate the same mythology of technology that relies on exploiting nature. Responding to climate change by building hard infrastructures and favoring high-tech homogenous design, we are ignoring millennia-old knowledge of how to live in symbiosis with nature . Without implementing soft systems that use biodiversity as a building block, designs remain inherently unsustainable. Lo—TEK, derived from Traditional Ecological Knowledge, is a cumulative body of multigenerational knowledge, practices, and beliefs , countering the idea that indigenous innovation is primitive and exists isolated from technology. It is sophisticated and designed to sustainably work with complex ecosystems. With a foreword by anthropologist Wade Davis and four chapters spanning Mountains, Forests, Deserts, and Wetlands, Julia Watson explores thousands of years of human wisdom and ingenuity from 18 countries including Peru, the Philippines, Tanzania, Kenya, Iran, Iraq, India, and Indonesia . We rediscover an ancient mythology in a contemporary context, radicalizing the spirit of human nature. The tactile reading experience of Lo—TEK reflects the ingenuity of carefully selected projects with sophisticated design details : copper highlights the value of ancient knowledge, a cardboard hardcover echoes rawness, and the Swiss binding showcases an open spine and reveals the construction of the book, just as the book discloses hidden technological knowledge.","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Taschen | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":53458056216789,"sku":"9783836578189","price":240000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/69d63f27a30413c30732eba0e129a1c1.png?v=1773905464"},{"product_id":"05133-mucha","title":"Mucha.

In evocative shades of peach, gold, ochre, and olive, his seductive compositions of patterns, flowers, and beautiful women became paradigms of the Belle Époque years. Mucha’s work permeated illustration, posters, postcards, and the advertising designs of his day. His striking posters of star actress Sarah Bernhardt were particularly famous. Alongside this delicate decorative work, Mucha also harbored strongly felt political ideas . With his monumental cycle The Slav Epic, he expressed his staunch support for Pan-Slavism, promoting the political independence of the Czech and Slavic nations from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Compiled in association with the Mucha Foundation, this book presents key works and introduces the full reach of Mucha’s œuvre from patterned decoration to his book illustrations, posters, photographs and monumental paintings.","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Taschen | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":53458056511701,"sku":"9783836550093","price":80000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true},{"title":"French","offer_id":53458056544469,"sku":"9783836550109","price":80000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":false},{"title":"German","offer_id":53458056577237,"sku":"9783836550116","price":80000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Spanish","offer_id":53458056610005,"sku":"9783836550123","price":80000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/8a067dfe3e199ce331f8e4fe8ed94818.png?v=1773905471"},{"product_id":"05134-rodin","title":"Rodin.

From a very early stage, he was interested in movement, the expression of the body, chance effects, and the incomplete fragment . It was these elements that gave shape, and the impression of life, to such famous works as The Kiss and The Thinker . Produced in collaboration with the Musée Rodin, this TASCHEN Basic Art introduction examines the formative years of Rodin’s training as well as the key stages of his subsequent career. It retraces the genesis of his sculptures and monuments from both a historical and an aesthetic point of view and illuminates the links between his different works. The reader gains access to the artist’s ideas, as well as to the real material processes in his studio— the modeling in clay, the passage from plaster to bronze or to marble, enlargement, the creation of assemblages , and his deeply sensual erotic drawings . An inexhaustible source of inspiration for subsequent generations of artists, Rodin’s work incorporated innovation and transgression , but above all an unrivaled passion for working in front of the living model and for capturing the truth of human experience and forms . With rich illustration and texts from François Blanchetière, this book invites us to discover—and rediscover—this priceless legacy.","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Taschen | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":53458056839381,"sku":"9783836555043","price":80000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":false},{"title":"French","offer_id":53458056872149,"sku":"9783836555067","price":80000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":false},{"title":"German","offer_id":53458056904917,"sku":"9783836555050","price":80000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Italian","offer_id":53458056937685,"sku":"9783836526364","price":80000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Spanish","offer_id":53458056970453,"sku":"9783836555074","price":80000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/71004160a6fc22f49c04883d20911c6e.png?v=1773905477"},{"product_id":"05310-warhol-on-basquiat-the-iconic-relationship-told-in-andy-warhol-s-words-and-pictures","title":"Warhol on Basquiat.

At a time when Warhol was already world famous and the elder statesman of New York cool, Basquiat was a downtown talent rising rapidly from the graffiti scene. Together, they forged an electrifying personal and professional partnership . As a prolific documentarian of his own world, Warhol extensively photographed and wrote of his friendship with Basquiat, all played against the backdrop of 1980s downtown New York City. It reveals not only the emotional depth of their relationship but also its ambiguities, extremities, and complexities. Produced in collaboration with The Andy Warhol Foundation and Jean-Michel Basquiat’s estate , this book chronicles the duo’s relationship in hundreds of previously unpublished photographs of Basquiat along with a dynamic cast of characters from Madonna to Grace Jones, Keith Haring to Fela Kuti. The shots are accompanied by entries from the legendary Andy Warhol Diaries , selected collaborative artworks , and extensive ephemera . Touching, intimate, and occasionally sardonic, Warhol on Basquiat is a voyeuristic glimpse into the lives of two of modern art’s brightest stars.","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Taschen | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Multilingual (English, French, German, Spanish)","offer_id":53458057101525,"sku":"9783836525237","price":240000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/b748c4315bbd55772f0c226c13579a15.png?v=1773905486"},{"product_id":"08069-the-package-design-book-7","title":"The Package Design Book 7","description":"In our seventh edition of The Package Design Book , we explore the world’s leading packaging design innovations from the 2021 and 2022 Pentawards competition .

This spell-binding book reveals how Indigenous innovations—like floating farms, tidal fish traps, and aquifer recharge systems —have sustained civilizations for millennia by working with nature, not against it. Far from relics, these systems offer dynamic, adaptable solutions for the climate crisis of today . Structured to bridge past and future , the author Julia Watson dissolves the divide between technology and ecology, between ancestral wisdom and digital innovation. The TEKnological Renaissance it celebrates redefines water as an intelligent force that can shape resilient cities and landscapes .

The second volume in the Homes for Our Time series documents this housing revolution and raises questions: What role do homes play in our endangered world? How can they innovate? In Sri Lanka, Palinda Kannangara created the Frame Holiday Structure on a budget of $ 40,000. Built from steel scaffolding, exposed brick, and wood floors, the house can be easily disassembled and moved, adapting to the reality of the nearby floodplain. Luciano Lerner Basso ’s Fortunata House in Brazil accommodates the surrounding nature: it was built around a tree of an endangered species and sits upon stilts so as not to disturb the forest floor. Miller Hull ’s Loom House near Seattle has been called “the world’s most environmentally ambitious home renovation” because of its reliance on recycled materials and its efficient energy use. Modern architectural history has been viewed primarily from a Western perspective and formed by men. More than 60 buildings from Vietnam , South Africa , India , China , and beyond —designed by men, women, and collectives—mark the end of this era. There is no longer a predominant style, and there probably never will be again. With photos by renowned architectural photographers, and precise descriptions as well as drawings from architectural offices, Philip Jodidio charts the diverse, sustainable architecture of the future. The private homes featured range from modest to extravagant. A beautiful house is always also a dream—and this book invites you to do just that.","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Taschen | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Multilingual (English, French, German)","offer_id":53458099634389,"sku":"9783836599566","price":120000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Multilingual (English, Italian, Spanish)","offer_id":53458099667157,"sku":"9783836599573","price":120000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/db4be98b1368a2a32db320fd94d538d5.png?v=1773906055"},{"product_id":"42341-living-in-asia-40th-ed","title":"Living in Asia. 40th Ed.","description":"Zen, soothing, mystical, meditative—words cannot do justice to Asia’s most beautiful interiors .

American Pop Architecture. 45th Ed.","description":"At the dawn of the automobile age, Americans’ predilection for wanderlust prompted a new wave of inventive entrepreneurs to cater to this new mode of transportation. Starting in the 1920s, attention-grabbing buildings began to appear that would draw in passing drivers for snacks, provisions, souvenirs, or a quick meal. The architectural establishment of the day dismissed these roadside buildings as “monstrosities”. Yet, they flourished, especially along America’s Sunbelt, and in particular, in Southern California, as proprietors indulged their creative impulses in the form of giant, eccentric constructions — from owls, dolls, pigs, and ships, to coffee pots and fruit. Their symbolic intent was guileless, yet they were marginalized by history. But, over the past 40 years, California’s architectural anomalies have regained their integrity, and are now being celebrated in this freshly revised compendium of buildings, California Craz y. Brimming with the best examples of this architectural genre , California Crazy includes essays exploring the influences that fostered the nascent architectural movement, as well as identifying the unconventional landscapes and attitudes found on Los Angeles and Hollywood roadsides which allowed these buildings to flourish in profusion. In addition, California Crazy features David Gebhard’s definitive essay , which defined this vernacular movement almost forty years ago. The California Crazy concept is expanded to include domestic architecture, eccentric signage, and the automobile as a fanciful object.","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Taschen | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":53458100584661,"sku":"9783754400180","price":120000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/4320fc8e4561d935144cb952bfe6093f.png?v=1773906068"},{"product_id":"42351-niccolini-houses-and-monuments-of-pompeii-45th-ed","title":"Fausto \u0026 Felice Niccolini. Houses and Monuments of Pompeii. 45th Ed.","description":"When the excavations at Pompeii were first placed on a scholarly archaeological footing in the 19th century, brothers Fausto and Felice Niccolini were close at hand and ready to respond. Making use of the newly introduced technique of color lithography, they documented the buildings, frescos, statues, as well as the most ordinary everyday objects , of the city buried in just 24 hours by the catastrophic eruption of Vesuvius and preserved for over 1,600 years under a mantle of volcanic ash. The Niccolinis’ goal was to illustrate all aspects of life in the antique city . Their publication, Le case ed i monumenti di Pompei (“The Houses and Monuments of Pompeii”), which was issued in installments between 1854 and 1896 in Naples, presented over 400 color plates providing not only views, maps, and groundplans of the city and its public buildings , but also offered unprecedented access to Pompeii’s private residences . They revealed the astonishing painted wall decorations that adorned these long-buried abodes, their intricate works of art, and the practical utensils of everyday use, conjuring up a vivid picture of each house as a real domestic space. In addition, “animated” representations visualized daily life in Pompeii’s workshops, taverns, and shops, on its public squares, and in its temples, theaters, and baths. This meticulous facsimile revives the Niccolinis’ extraordinary achievement with selected color plates and two introductory essays setting the project in its contemporary context and presenting the historical protagonists of the Vesuvian excavations. In addition, we explore the remarkable influence exerted by Pompeian art—and by the haunting plaster casts made of victims of the eruption—on the visual arts . Across painting, sculpture, and interior design, we trace the Pompeii legacy in the work of Robert Adam, Anton Raphael Mengs, Angelika Kaufmann, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Pablo Picasso, and Giorgio de Chirico, right through to recent masters Duane Hanson and George Segal.","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Taschen | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":53458100650197,"sku":"9783754400197","price":120000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/aa05b48861998e7d36bbf286f3bf240f.png?v=1773906069"},{"product_id":"42353-shoes-a-z-45th-ed","title":"Shoes A–Z. 45th Ed.","description":"Sky-high, ornate, and the pinnacle of glamour , both restrictive and liberating, art object and deeply ordinary, shoes tell the story of shifting attitudes toward desire, power, and wealth throughout history.

In such circumstances, this book, rather than adding to the data load, aims to offer real understanding.” —James Lovelock Human beings are extraordinary creatures. Intelligent, agile, and curious, we have adapted and invented our way to becoming the most important species on the planet. So great is the extent of our influence, that many speak of a new geological era, the Anthropocene, an age defined by human-induced change to the blue and green globe we call home . Our lofty status comes with responsibility as much as possibility: How should we approach our present and future? What knowledge should we carry with us? Conceived by James Lovelock (1919–2022), inventor of the Gaia theory, this illustrated essay collection brings together an all-star lineup of thinkers and scientists to offer essential understanding about who we are, how we live, and where we might be going . Much as the Gaia theory considers our Earth as an integrated whole of living systems, The Earth and I encourages holistic understanding. Across 12 chapters, we take in both the intricate details and immense structures of our species and our planet , from our ever-expanding universe to our minuscule but mighty cells . We see stellar explosions and the layers of life beneath our feet, delve into the neuroscience of decision-making, get to grips with our climate , and contemplate our increasing intimacy with technology . The book’s world-class contributors include quantum physicist Lisa Randall, Astronomer Royal Martin Rees, Pulitzer Prize–winning biologist Edward O.

From the smallest arteries in the human heart to the far-flung constellations of the universe, Leonardo saw nature and science as being unequivocally connected. His points of inquiry and invention spanned philosophy, anatomy, geology, and mathematics , from the laws of optics, gravitation, heat, and light to the building of a flying machine. In his painting, Leonardo steered art out of the Middle Ages with works such as The Last Supper and the world-famous La Gioconda or Mona Lisa depicting not only physical appearances, but a compelling psychological intrigue and depth which continues to draw crowds of mesmerized visitors to masterpieces in Paris, Milan, Washington, London, and Rome. This book brings together some of Leonardo’s most outstanding work to introduce a figure of infinite curiosity, feverish imagination, and sublime artistic ability , often described as having “not enough worlds for to conquer, and not enough lives for to live” (Alan Woods).","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Taschen | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":53458139447509,"sku":"9783836502153","price":80000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":false},{"title":"French","offer_id":53458139480277,"sku":"9783836502009","price":80000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":false},{"title":"German","offer_id":53458139513045,"sku":"9783836501798","price":80000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Spanish","offer_id":53458139545813,"sku":"9783836501804","price":80000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/ff5c3b86028833c213082b5a971685f5.png?v=1773906778"},{"product_id":"60053-christo-and-jeanne-claude-l-arc-de-triomphe-wrapped-paris","title":"Christo and Jeanne-Claude.

Like all Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s art projects, L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped was once in a lifetime and never again, but from the moment it appeared on site, by ravishing the eye, it had already impressed an indelible image on the memories of everyone who saw it. This Collector’s Edition retraces and documents the entire project, from conception to final realization. The story of a 60-year-in-the-making project unfolds on 480 pages, revealing its technical development, material production, and the final 16-days experience shared by millions of visitors from around the world. This project book was designed by Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s studio in close collaboration with TASCHEN as an homage to the late artists and their lifelong commitment to art as the highest expression of freedom. “Each of our projects is like a slice of our life, myself and Jeanne-Claude. And the journey is so exciting, it is an adventure in the real world.” Christo Limited Collector's Edition of 2,500 copies signed by project photographer Wolfgang Volz, each with a 24 x 24 cm swatch of the original silver fabric. Also available as two different limited Art Editions (No. 1-250 and No. 251-500), each with a signed and numbered photograph of L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped , by Wolfgang Volz.","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Taschen | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Multilingual (English, French, German)","offer_id":53458155045077,"sku":"9783836591232","price":1800000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/cc7fd4437e2a01b7c0707e982e280123.png?v=1773907135"},{"product_id":"60054-glenn-brown","title":"Glenn Brown","description":"The main spirit that runs through Glenn Brown’s work is transformation .

Following the introduction of the Fantastic Four in 1961 came the amazing (Spider-Man), the astonishing (Ant-Man), the strange (Doctor, that is), the incredible (Hulk), the invincible (Iron Man) and the mighty (Thor). Still, Marvel editor in chief Stan Lee realized something was missing. “I was writing these characters and I thought it would fun to put them together in a team,” he recalled. So Lee and artist Jack Kirby assembled Iron Man, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Thor, and the Hulk to create the Avengers. Right away it was clear this team was different. If the Fantastic Four were family, then the Avengers were the co-workers you didn’t choose. Not everyone got along—the Hulk fought with everyone—but working together they could defeat the baddest of Marvel’s bad guys, like Loki, Kang the Conqueror, the Masters of Evil, and Immortus. The lineup was ever changing: The Hulk departed, Captain America joined, and Ant-Man grew up to become Giant-Man. Then, remarkably, villains Hawkeye, Quicksilver, and the Scarlet Witch became heroes—and Avengers—and the group’s founding members shockingly departed, leaving Captain America to lead the newly-minted heroes. Relive the classic early adventures of Avengers Nos. 1–20 in an XXL-sized edition that’s bigger than the Hulk’s fist, weightier than Thor’s hammer, and with more extras than Iron Man’s armor . TASCHEN has attempted to create an ideal representation of these books as they were produced at the time of publication. The most pristine pedigreed comics have been cracked open and photographed for reproduction in close collaboration with Marvel and the Certified Guaranty Company. Each page has then been digitally remastered, using modern retouching techniques to correct problems with the era’s inexpensive, imperfect printing—as if hot off of a world-class 1960s printing press. Accompanying the stories are an original foreword by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige and an in-depth history by the Eisner Award-winning writer Kurt Busiek that’s illustrated with original art, little-seen photographs, and rare documents. This mighty collection about Earth’s Mightiest Heroes is worthy of Tony Stark’s library—or yours.

Fantastic Four. Vol․ 1․ 1961–1963","description":"Hoping to break out of a sales slump at Marvel in the early 1960s, veteran comic creators Stan Lee and Jack Kirby hit on the idea of doing a super team. Kirby, who thought superheroes were due for a revival after 15 years of being pushed aside by romance, horror, and war comics, saw it as smart business. Lee just once wanted to “do the type of story I myself would enjoy reading.” The Fantastic Four forever changed their careers, their lives, and the comic book industry. Some of the most iconic moments in Marvel history are here, starting with Reed Richards, his girlfriend Sue Storm, his best friend Ben Grimm, and her little brother Johnny Storm crash landing their rocket after it has been hit cosmic rays and discovering they have been transformed into Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Girl, the Thing, and the Human Torch in issue No. 1. They were emotionally complex characters, who weren’t always sure whether their powers were a benefit or burden. Stories were set in New York City, not some fictional stand-in, and Marvel heroes regularly crossed over into each other’s books. The art was dynamic and the writing conversational and engaging. Lee and Kirby were like the Lennon and McCartney of comic books. Where the talents of one ended and the other began was not always clear, but together one plus one equaled three. Collected here in an XXL-size volume are the first 20 issues reproduced from the most pristine pedigreed original comics , which were cracked open and photographed in close collaboration with Marvel and the and Certified Guaranty Company. Featured alongside the comics is an in-depth essay by acclaimed Marvel writer Mark Waid , a foreword by former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino , and original art, photographs, and other rarities. Welcome true believers to the Marvel Age of Comics. This deluxe volume features an aluminum print cover tipped into a leatherette-bound spine, foil embossing, and is housed in a slipcase.

X-Men. Vol․ 1․ 1963–1966","description":"When Marvel publisher Martin Goodman asked Stan Lee to deliver another new team book for his line of comics, he had no idea he’d be getting something like The X-Men . In fact, nobody could have imagined the extraordinary phenomenon the X-Men would eventually grow into —not Goodman, not Lee, not even the forward-thinking futurist Jack Kirby. What they started out as was a charming, ragtag team of misfits, devised by Lee and Kirby to be mutants —youngsters born with “X-tra” powers thrust upon them not by accidentally crossing paths with cosmic rays or a nuclear blast, but by the fate of birth—led by a no-nonsense professor who trained them to become heroes that could protect the world from menaces, mutant and otherwise. The first years of storytelling laid the foundation for much of what has put the X-Men at the crossroads of comics and popular culture : Hounded by a public that fears and misunderstands them, mutantkind find themselves at the heart of their own civil rights struggle; Cyclops, Marvel Girl, Angel, Beast, and Iceman found safety amongst themselves despite the challenges that set them apart from others in society; and Professor Xavier lined up against his ideological foe, Magneto, who had assembled a Brotherhood of Evil Mutants to take the fight for their self-preservation directly to humankind. Along the way, Lee and Kirby—who were on fire taking comics into the Marvel Age—introduced a menagerie of villains and supporting characters that would become mainstays of Marvel and its lore: the super-powered siblings Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch; the formidable Blob; the unstoppable Juggernaut; the jungle dweller from the Savage Land, Ka-Zar; the demigod from the stars, the Stranger; and Bolivar Trask and his army of mutant-hunting Sentinels. And as Lee and Kirby gave way to new talents so they could move on to new corners of the Marvel Universe, Atlas era art veteran Werner Roth teamed with writing newcomer and future X-Men legend Roy Thomas to begin their long run on the title. Close in size to the original artworks, this XXL-sized edition features the first 21 stories of our favorite oddball super heroes from 1963–1966. The most pristine pedigreed comics have been cracked open and photographed for reproduction in close collaboration with Marvel and the Certified Guaranty Company.

In addition to these seminal tales are an original foreword by modern X-Men mastermind Chris Claremont , reliving the heyday of Lee and Kirby’s foundational years, and an in-depth essay by X-Men writer Fabian Nicieza alongside original art, photographs, and memorabilia from the early years of X.

Vol․ 1․ 1968–1970","description":"Introduced by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in the fertile pages of The Fantastic Four , the Silver Surfer quickly established himself as one of Marvel’s most far-out characters . Enslaved by Galactus to prowl the cosmos for the demi-god’s next planet-sized meal, the Surfer was as tragic a figure as any in comics—and he looked impossibly cool at the same time! A smash hit with fans and a regular supporting character in Fantastic Four , the character struck a creative nerve with Lee, who couldn’t wait to begin to tell some Surfer solo stories, but the timing had to be right. In the spring of 1968, things came together for both writer and character, with Lee giving the Surfer Marvel’s very first ongoing double-sized book. Lee also recruited artist John Buscema, who had recently been lending his extraordinary pencils to The Avengers . Together, they spun off a run of legendary tales that helped define the character forevermore. The feature stories from the entire 18-issue run of the 1968 Silver Surfer series are collected in this cosmic-sized XXL tome from the Eisner Award-winning Marvel Comics Library series.

Vol․ 2․ 1965–1966","description":"Their collaboration on Spider-Man couldn’t last forever—but the five-years of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko’s remarkable partnership lasted long enough for their character to evolve into a timeless icon and create a fandom that would last generations . TASCHEN’s second volume of Amazing Spider-Man stories collects the latter half of the duo’s magnum opus, featuring brand new arch-villains the Scorpion, Molten Man, and the Crime-Master, return engagements with Kraven the Hunter and the Green Goblin—and the three-part “Master Planner Saga” that reignited a feud with an iconic mystery villain, and left behind what many comics critics declare to be the greatest super hero story of all time. Beyond the action that faced Spider-Man—all choreographed with aplomb by the master stylist Ditko—there was also the matter of Peter Parker’s maturation during a decade of social upheaval and change. With Stan Lee’s blend of soap opera melodramatics and finger-on-the-pulse social sensitivities, Peter graduated from high school to college and started to deal with a myriad of adult struggles, mirroring the life experiences of the book’s readership. A scrawny teenager no more, Lee and Ditko would widen his network of friends and frenemies, debuting Gwen Stacy, Harry Osborn, and, in a series of hilarious cameos, Mary Jane Watson—all characters that would develop into one of the deepest and most substantive supporting casts in all of comics. Also introduced is Harry’s father, Norman Osborn, the short-tempered industrialist who would later be revealed as Spider-Man’s most dreaded foe. Meanwhile, Peter’s up-and-down romance with Betty Brant would reach its culmination with both changed forever. Collected in an XXL-size volume that closely simulates the size and proportions of the original comic artboards, all individual issues have been sourced from the collection of Bob Bretall, holder of the Guinness World Record for largest comics collection . Bretall’s pedigreed collection has been photographed using TASCHEN’s sterling reproduction methods, resembling the way these comics first looked when initially published in 1965 and 1966, while also being digitally remastered using modern retouching techniques to correct problems with the era’s inexpensive, imperfect printing. A custom paper stock was exclusively developed for this series to simulate the newsprint feel and color holding of the original comics. The Marvel Comics Library has earned well-deserved raves from comic collecting diehards for combining an old school comic book reading experience with a luxurious oversized book format, winning the industry’s coveted Eisner Award for Best Publication Design. Complementing the comics is an incisive and often side-splitting essay by British TV and radio host Jonathan Ross.

Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and Captain America took on all comers, often in multi-part epics that pitted the Avengers against foes old and new, like the Enchantress, Doctor Doom and Kang. The Avengers of 1965–1967 also featured change within the ranks of the team and its creative stable. The Wasp and Giant-Man would rejoin Earth’s Mightiest–the latter adopting a new costume and codename–and Black Widow and Hercules would join as guest stars. Lee would depart as writer in the summer of 1966, handing the keys to the Avengers over to newcomer Roy Thomas, whose earliest stories set the stage for his future glories carrying the title to a legacy filled with milestone after milestone.

The Hulk was a Monster! The alter ego of puny human scientist Bruce Banner unleashed when an experimental bomb douses the hapless scientist in Gamma radiation, and thereupon unleashed every time the mild-mannered Banner lost his temper, the Hulk exploded from comics stands into an unsuspecting world…and he hasn’t stopped since! Unquestionably one of the strangest, strongest, and most evocative archetypes to come from Marvel Comics, the Hulk defies all explanation. At times at war with other superheroes, villains, the United States military, humanity, and even his alter-ego Bruce Banner himself, he stands as an avatar of unbridled fury, primal instincts, the destructive potential of the atomic bomb and humanity’s hubris all at once.

This book has been conceived and realized in close collaboration with the artist, curating an overview of his work in unprecedented depth. All authors have worked with Brown before to now deliver an incisive portrait of the artist, an art-historical survey of his work and development, as well as essays on different artistic approaches and genres . Comments written by Brown especially for this edition discuss specific works and artistic choices. More than anything, it is the book’s large format that makes the eye-deceivingly smooth brushwork and exuberant lines come alive, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in every detail and share the artist’s contagious love of painting and paint . “I’m rather like Dr Frankenstein , constructing paintings out of the residue or dead parts of other artists’ work . I hope to create a sense of strangeness by bringing together examples of the way the best historic and modern-day artists have depicted their personal sense of the world. I see their worlds from multiple or schizophrenic perspectives, through all their eyes. Their sources of inspiration suggest things I would never normally see. ” —Glenn Brown Limited Art Edition (No. 113 – 212), numbered and signed by Glenn Brown, with the print Sizewell B , 2023, also signed by the artist.","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Taschen | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Multilingual (English, French, German)","offer_id":53458157371605,"sku":"9783836597418","price":11000000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/c9a48a7ea4f43bb72baa8dc41ed9f41a.png?v=1773907174"},{"product_id":"cheval-blanc","title":"CHEVAL BLANC","description":"Created in the spirit of family photo album, Cheval Blanc brings to life one of the world’s most exclusive and exceptional hospitality endeavors in intimate, poignant detail – a lasting souvenir to the brand’s properties. Always referred to as “Maisons” and designed as a family home, each hotel has its own identity with absolute privacy and bespoke service to create endless memories. Cheval Blanc’s journey began in 2006 with the opening of its first chalet in Courchevel, France. Since then, the brand has expanded its legacy across six destinations, with a seventh soon to follow in Sardinia, along the shores of Costa Smeralda. These distinctive establishments are beautifully captured in the Cheval Blanc volume, showcasing the brand’s properties in Courchevel, Randheli, St-Barth, St-Tropez, Paris, and the Seychelles. Like guests on arrival, readers are immediately immersed in Cheval Blanc’s hallmark “Art de Recevoir” (“the art of welcoming”) and unparalleled sense of detail. These are not just extraordinary destinations, they are sensorial experiences, every aspect choreographed to provide a symphony of ultra-luxury and bold modernity, local craftsmanship and timeless elegance, made-to-measure service and unexpected moments of marvel. To continue the sense of a private travel diary, handwritten notes can be found throughout the narrative, as if the discreet musings of a trusted friend or family member on their stays. These Maisons built by renowned architects such as Jean-Michel Gathy, Jacques Grange, Jean-Michel Wilmotte and Peter Marino, share differences born from their specific histories and location. A family chalet in Courchevel, a Provençal home in Saint-Tropez, a Parisian icon within the historic walls of La Samaritaine—each story is an opportunity to celebrate the soul of a place without altering it, with some signatures a common through- line in all six destinations. And, of course, there are the superlative manners and etiquette transmitted by rigorous training—gestures, eloquence, and an attitude that is neither formal nor familiar but rather full of concern. Above all, in these pages, as in these Maisons, the goal is to introduce readers to their new favorite destination, a place cherished as much or even more than their childhood home. “Our clients come here for a positive interlude, to shut the door, for just a moment, on a page of their daily lives and enter the joyous but very real world of Cheval Blanc,” says Arnaud Donckele, the three-starred chef of Cheval Blanc St-Tropez and Cheval Blanc Paris.","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Assouline | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53573778309333,"sku":"9781649804488","price":960000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/ChevalBlanc_Classic_01_323d9334-de93-4064-a279-52d3c4046606.jpg?v=1775518548"},{"product_id":"uzbekistan-living-treasures","title":"UZBEKISTAN LIVING TREASURES: CELEBRATION OF CRAFTSMANSHIP","description":"Uzbekistan’s arts and crafts culture goes back millennia, to the days of the Great Silk Road. Its skills and techniques have been tightly preserved through a culture of transmission, passed down from generation to generation—from “usto” (master) to “shogird” (young artisan). From potters to embroiderers, blacksmiths to wood carvers, goldsmiths to jewelers, Uzbekistan’s craftspeople produce truly special items of the finest skills and materials. These include Suzani, silk fabrics, gold embroidery, ornamental knives, intricate jewelry, handmade carpets, miniature paintings and ceramics that come in a kaleidoscope of patterns and colors. With the rise and prevalence of industrialism and the standards of mass production, these unique items handmade by craftsmen have truly become a special luxury. Created by Yaffa Assouline and images by Laziz Hamani, Living Treasures: Celebration of Craftsmanship is an intimate invitation to discover the arts and crafts of Uzbekistan through some of its talented artisans. The images and dynamic range of work will make readers discover the country and link the glory of the past with the passion of the present, with the craftsmen preserving and innovating in traditional applied arts. The book will be available within the Assouline Classics collection with a silk hardcover, as well as in the Ultimate collection featuring an embroidered fabric clamshell.","brand":"Weaving The Planet | Assouline | Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53573824839893,"sku":"9781649800756","price":960000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6384\/7637\/files\/uzbekistan-living-treasures-celebration-of-craftsmanship-assouline-1.jpg?v=1775518699"},{"product_id":"malhadinha-the-soul-of-alentejo","title":"MALHADINHA: THE SOUL OF ALENTEJO","description":"Set in the sun-drenched Alentejo region of Portugal, Relais \u0026amp; Châteaux Herdade de Malhadinha Nova is a destination where viticulture, gastronomy, and hospitality converge in extraordinary harmony.
