THE CONSIDERED GUIDES

10

The Considered Guides are our fresh and detailed new series of city guides. Beginning with five of the world’s most desirable and inspiring destinations – Dublin, Lisbon, Milan, Amsterdam and Marrakech – each guide focuses on the elements that give these locations their distinctive flair. With striking photography, and a clean modern design, these compact but amazingly informative guides are perfect for transporting in your back pocket, while you ramble the streets investigating the insider’s checklist of the coolest eateries, chicest retail spaces, hippest bars, architectural wonders and the most important cultural institutions.

To allow you to dive headfirst into the best of each city, we contacted the people who know the place best, people who live and work in the city and are part of what makes it tick. We spoke to theatre directors, journalists, chefs, fashion designers, celebrities, and social media influencers and asked them for the names of the hottest, buzziest spots in town, along with the hidden gems they would usually reserve for close friends visiting their city. Crammed full of up-to-date recommendations, The Considered Guides are for the casual and curious traveller who likes to explore a city and all it has to offer, from the impressive landmarks to new finds that only an insider would know.

DublinThe Considered Guide

The capital city of Ireland, Dublin is a swirling cultural hotspot, where old and new continuously collide to create an energetic city that oozes charm.

Aside from the architecture, visitors are sure to feel at home in a city known for its character and warmth of welcome.

Celebrate the life of literary icon James Joyce on Bloomsday, try a pint of Guinness at the St James’s Gate Brewery, deer-watch in Phoenix Park, and drink in the atmosphere in Temple Bar.

With tips from bloggers, artists, writers and more, this book will reveal what can’t be missed in Dublin.

MilanThe Considered Guide

Chic, sophisticated and bold, Milan has effortlessly established itself as one of the most fashionable cities in the world. A lodestone for designers, artists, photographers and fashionistas, travellers come to experience the birthplace of top brands like Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace and Prada. But Milan’s rich history gives depth to this stylish exterior, as the city’s multi-faceted past is visible in its stunning architecture, with landmarks such as the Duomo Cathedral anchoring the surrounding streets. A hard-working city, Milan is the industrial capital of Italy, but this work ethic is complemented by an unparalleled aesthetic devotion. Soak up some opera in La Scala, admire Da Vinci’s genius, and shop till you drop with exclusive tips from our stylish contributors.

LisbonThe Considered Guide

Set among seven hills and on the brink of the Atlantic Ocean, Lisbon is a fairytale city steeped in history, culture and colour.

AmsterdamThe Considered Guide

With its roots in the Middle Ages, and built upon an extraordinary maze of canals, a major feat of seventeenth-century planning and engineering, Amsterdam is a city which bustles with culture and trade. Described by locals as a big village, Amsterdam certainly packs enough into its winding streets and bridges for a city twice its size. With an artistic legacy that includes Rembrandt and Van Gogh, the city is an architectural hodgepodge of old and new, with windmills and flower markets contrasting with the neon-tinged haunts of the night-time. Whether you choose to travel by foot, bike or houseboat, the tips in this book, provided by locals, help to shine a light on the hidden secrets of this vibrant city.

Toys100 Years of Iconic ToysIntroduction by Stevanne Auerbach

From Frisbees to Frozen dolls, the evolution of the toy has been marked by innovations in design, technology and marketing, but these developments largely passed over the heads of children, who had just one thing on their minds: getting their hands on that latest must-have toy. And so nothing evokes emotion like rediscovering a cherished childhood toy.

In Toys, we have assembled more than eighty toys and games that redefined play and photographed them like the marvels of design they are. Accompanied by text on each toy’s success story, and crowned with an essay on the art of toy design by prolific writer and child development expert Stevanne ‘Dr Toy’ Auerbach, this is a warm and insightful journey into the past, featuring familiar faces and spanning the ingeniously simple to the jaw-droppingly complex.

With new photography by Irish photographer Kevin Fox.

The Fashion Set The Art of the Fashion ShowFederico Poletti

High fashion remains the ultimate in modern luxury, but gone are the days of special previews of new collections in hushed rooms behind locked doors. In the last ten years, the fashion show has been utterly transformed, since innovators like Dries Van Noten marched models down a glamorous banquet table and Lagerfeld trooped his Fendi collection along the Great Wall of China. Social networking and digital media have redefined the value of the fashion show and international brands are now throwing down the bespoke gauntlet to one another to produce stunning, theatrical events.

Featuring set design by the creative powerhouses that realise the vision of all the leading international fashion maisons, this luxe coffee-table book is a celebration of the magic and majesty of the fashion show.

With a foreword by Colin McDowell and an essay by Diane Pernet.

Federico Poletti is a fashion journalist and curator who writes for Vogue Italia, Huffington Post and Business of Fashion.

If You Close Your EyesOda Jaune

Oda Jaune’s oil paintings and watercolours focus on the bodily, the collaged, the peculiar; her work continually evades the viewers’ grasp. She plays with themes of ambivalence, attraction and withdrawal. Internal organs and depictions of violence coalesce with nursing mothers and portrayals of tenderness in imaginative and occasionally gruesome ways, bringing forth unsettling yet engaging works of art.

Born in 1979 in Sofia, Bulgaria, Oda Jaune studied at the Dusseldorf Academy of Fine Arts/ Kunstakademie Düsseldorf under the painter Jörg Immendorff. In 2012 she won the Pierre Cardin Prize for painting. Oda Jaune lives and works in Paris.

Haute CoiffureCharlie Le Mindu

Charlie Le Mindu is an artist like no other. His medium is hair and his ascent has been rapid. Born in rural France, he spent his formative years in Berlin and then London, where his career really took off in the late ’00s, with catwalk shows and celebrities clamouring to wear his wigs, most famously Lady Gaga. Since then his work has continued to grow in scale and extravagance. His creations – painstakingly handcrafted using cutting-edge techniques – are often controversial; but at the heart of his work remains a genuine punk attitude, a wicked sense of humour, and a love of strong women. Le Mindu has a ferocious, independent imagination, untethered by trends and convention, and this, when combined with exquisite skill, precision and dexterity, makes for a true artist. Haute Coiffure celebrates Le Mindu’s work, in all its bold, tactile glory.

SchudeRyan Schude

Schude celebrates a decade of work by the prolific LA photographer Ryan Schude, whose vast tableaux and vivid portraits encapsulate pop Americana in a way that has resonated with audiences worldwide. Schude’s work combines humour – both light and vivacious and black as night – with extreme skill and a film director’s eye.Using a heavily staged narrative approach, in conjunction with cinematic lighting, meticulously curated props and wardrobe, and often a conceptual backbone, Schude’s process involves months of planning and collaboration; the narrative of each image evolves over time, before bursting to life before the lens.

‘There’s a barely contained energy in Ryan Schude’s work, as if an electric current runs through every shot. Whether he’s photographing one person or twenty, there’s always a sense of something happening, of whimsical action about to occur.’ – The Photographic Journal

Lucy WilliamsLucy Williams

Lucy Williams’s art provides a pleasing contradiction in which her subject matter – stark and brutal mid-twentieth-century Modernist architecture – is presented through mixed media bas-reliefs in which the detail, the personal and the intricate is ever-present. In this beautifully crafted book, these artworks are showcased alongside a number of period photographs of the buildings, many of which no longer exist, which served as the inspiration for the artist. The subject matter is diverse; Williams depicts apartment blocks, swimming pools and shopfronts that stand modestly unpopulated but deeply human.

The artist’s precise and intense process, involving such everyday materials as wool, gravel and cotton, brings forth works of art that are totally removed from the mundane and ordinary; they ask us to stop and marvel at their detail and beauty.

Paparazzo: The Elio Sorci CollectionElio Sorci

The post-Fascist Italy of the early 1950s saw an explosion in international film production, and as stars flocked to Rome – followed by models, playboys and monarchs – the city was transformed. A small band of press photographers were the very first to document this ‘Hollywood on the Tiber’ phenomenon, and in doing so they revolutionised their art form forever. These men would later be dubbed the ‘paparazzi’.

Sorci’s stripped-back images depict this world just as it was, often tinged with vulgarity and essentially superficial, but thrilling, compelling and seductive. Paparazzo is the first definitive collection of his award-winning work across four decades. Each frame captures the vitality and excitement of ‘la Dolce Vita’, while revealing something of the charm, vivacity, intuition and tenacity of the man himself.

Weekly World News Neil McGinness

Founded in 1979, the Weekly World News was an irreverent newspaper that played with sensationalist conventions in tabloid journalism. Iconic in its design and infamous in its content, it ran for twenty-eight years, and at its peak it had a circulation of 1.2 million per issue. It ceased to appear in print form in 2007, but has maintained its cult status with an online presence. (Recent startling stories include President Obama’s Executive Order to immediately begin carving his face on Mount Rushmore.)

Weekly World News is now operated by Neil McGinness, formerly of National Lampoon, and it continues to generate the best of subversive but good-natured urban legends, trash tales and satirical pop culture stories – highlighting the absurdity of today’s celebrity-obsessed tabloids. With its bold design, this book pays homage to print conventions of yesteryear, while reminding us of the important news that no one else was brave enough to report…

Museums ReflectionsForeword by Willem Jan Neutelings from Neutelings Riedijk Architects

According to Orhan Pamuk, ‘Real museums are places where Time is converted into Space.’ In this lavishly illustrated title we investigate these spaces. Since Frank Gehry created the phenomenon that is The Guggenheim in Bilbao, thus transforming the city into a popular tourist destination, there has been a boom in the investment, both creative and financial, in the architecture of museums; they showcase contemporary and experimental architecture at its best.

Fully illustrated with exterior and interior photography, Reflections: Museums encircles the globe and highlights these modern showpieces alongside the timeless splendour of their more classical predecessors. The buildings presented represent a wide range of spatial and architectural concepts, from the modest to the massive, from the subtle to the showstopping, from white cubes, to freestanding structural buildings, to lavish baroque masterpieces.

Government ReflectionsForeword by Ivan Harbour, Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners

‘Architecture has its political use; public buildings being the ornament of a country; it establishes a nation, draws people and commerce; makes the people love their native country.’ – Christopher Wren

What buildings better reflect our societies than those that house our governments? Government buildings are dramatic gestures of how cultures perceive themselves. More than this, they are projections of how they wish to be perceived. For centuries government buildings have been awe-inspiring landmarks – expressions of strength, of wealth, and of power. Fully illustrated with exterior and interior photography, Reflections: Government encircles the globe on a journey that places ancient empires alongside new states and contrasts palatial parliaments with modern municipal structures. The result is an absorbing celebration of the boldest architectural statements of national identity.

Gardens Reflections Foreword by Andrew Grant, Director, Grant Associates

Gardens harness, enhance and revere the power of the earth; to enjoy one is to experience the most harmonious collaboration between man and nature. Each space is unique and a product of its individual climate and environment. A garden also reflects the history, culture, and architecture of the society that cultivated it. Gardens is a comprehensive visual exploration of these dynamic and engaging spaces.

With lavish illustrations, Reflections: Gardens celebrates the striking contrast and variety that exists in the world’s green spaces, from the futuristic aesthetic of Gardens by the Bay in Singapore, to the meticulously manicured lawns of Het Loo in the Netherlands, to the lush and untamed appeal of Monet’s beloved Giverny in France. Along with the most celebrated gardens in the world, Gardens explores large-scale urban interjections and elaborate conservation projects, giving fresh definition to Francis Bacon’s idea that ‘gardening is the purest of human pleasures’.

LibrariesReflectionsForeword by Bjarne Hammer, Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects

‘Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future.’ So said Ray Bradbury. Indeed, history as we know it begins with the invention of the library.

Reflections: Libraries is a photographic survey of how cultures around the world have responded to the impulse to protect and interact with the written word. Lavishly illustrated with stunning photography, this book invites readers into the most ornate libraries, lauded universities and innovative design works on earth; the mannerist and the ultra-modern, the opulent and the austere.   As the library – and library architecture – continues to evolve at breakneck speed, Libraries captures the particular atmosphere of hushed reverence evoked by these cornerstones of society.

If ‘Theatre is the greatest of all art forms’, as Oscar Wilde avowed, surely it should be housed in the greatest of buildings. This book will prove that to be the case.

Reflections: Theatres brings together these spaces, from every era and from all over the world, to present an eclectic and dynamic selection of what the world has to offer its performers and its audiences. From the simple elegance of the early outdoor theatres, to the opulence of the grand European opera houses, to the futuristic innovation of the twenty-first-century structures, the world’s theatres provide a sweeping overview of historic trends in architecture. Combining spectacular photography with detailed information, Theatres shines a spotlight on some of the world’s most dramatic buildings.  As featured in Slate, Wallpaper*.
