商品描述
A richly illustrated history of a single building, the celebrated and yet enigmatic penthouse of the wealthy playboy Charles de Beistegui, designed by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret in late 1920s Paris. What does it take to build not only a house but a machine for amusement? In Machine à Amuser, Wim van den Bergh chronicles the genesis of the famous penthouse of French-born Mexican millionaire bachelor Charles de Beistegui. The penthouse was planned and constructed by Le Corbusier & Pierre Jeanneret and built on a rooftop site on the Champs-Élysées between 1929-1932. Retracing the evolution of this icon of modern architecture from the initial competition between Gabriel Guevrekian, André Lurçat, and Le Corbusier & Pierre Jeanneret up to the executed version, van den Bergh tells the story of a client's ambition to build a house devoted to entertaining on one of the most well-heeled streets of Paris. Machine à Amuser also examines the cultural milieu of artists and patrons that surrounded Beistegui and which ultimately determined the apartment's conception and use, including its rococo and surrealist-inspired interior decor. Drawing on a panoply of archival material, van den Bergh narrates the tensions that arose between client and architects as each vied for creative control of the project. As the book shows, while Le Corbusier, with his cousin Pierre Jeanneret, remained the official architects of the penthouse, its famed interior was ultimately designed by the client, Charles de Beistegui. An account of a single building beloved by architects and architectural historians, Machine à Amuser tells a story that has never been told before. Van den Bergh redresses this lacuna in rich detail, revealing the history of the Beistegui penthouse, the evolution of the project, and its eventual erasure from the roofscapes of Paris.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
一座豐富插圖的歷史，講述了這座著名而又神秘的豪宅，富有的花花公子查爾斯·德·貝斯特基（Charles de Beistegui）所擁有的頂樓公寓，該公寓由勒·柯布西耶（Le Corbusier）和皮埃爾·讓納雷（Pierre Jeanneret）於1920年代末的巴黎設計。
要建造的不僅僅是一座房子，而是一台娛樂的機器，需要什麼呢？在Machine à Amuser中，溫·范·登·貝爾赫（Wim van den Bergh）記錄了法國出生的墨西哥百萬富翁單身漢查爾斯·德·貝斯特基著名頂樓公寓的誕生。該頂樓公寓由勒·柯布西耶和皮埃爾·讓納雷規劃和建造，位於香榭麗舍大道的一個屋頂上，建造時間為1929年至1932年。范·登·貝爾赫追溯了這一現代建築標誌的演變，從加布里埃爾·格維雷基安（Gabriel Guevrekian）、安德烈·盧卡（André Lurçat）與勒·柯布西耶和皮埃爾·讓納雷之間的初步競賽，到最終執行的版本，講述了一位客戶在巴黎最富裕街道之一上建造一座專門用於娛樂的房子的雄心故事。 Machine à Amuser還考察了圍繞著貝斯特基的藝術家和贊助人的文化環境，這最終決定了公寓的構思和使用，包括其洛可可和超現實主義風格的室內裝飾。范·登·貝爾赫利用大量檔案資料，敘述了客戶與建築師之間出現的緊張關係，因為雙方都在爭奪項目的創意控制權。正如本書所示，雖然勒·柯布西耶與他的表弟皮埃爾·讓納雷仍然是該頂樓公寓的官方建築師，但其著名的室內設計最終是由客戶查爾斯·德·貝斯特基所設計。 這本書講述了一座受到建築師和建築歷史學家喜愛的單一建築，Machine à Amuser講述了一個從未被講述過的故事。范·登·貝爾赫以豐富的細節填補了這一空白，揭示了貝斯特基頂樓公寓的歷史、項目的演變及其最終從巴黎屋頂景觀中消失的過程。作者簡介
