Krátky popis
'Like sitting in a room with Mark and hearing the best stories in
the world, wound up with wisdom, craft, and hard-won philosophy'
Burkhard Bilger, The New Yorker 'A brilliantly engaging
storyteller, laugh-out-loud funny, loving, cheekily smug.... An
enjoyable read on making, inventing and what might contribute to a
life worth living' Julie Mehretu, Painter--Over the past forty
years, Mark Ellison has worked on some of the most beautiful homes
you've never seen, specializing in rarefied and challenging
projects with the most demanding of clients. He built a staircase a
famed architect called a masterpiece.He worked on the iconic Sky
House, which Interior Design named the best apartment of the
decade. He's even worked on the homes of David Bowie, Robin
Williams, and others whose names he cannot reveal. He is regarded
by many as the best carpenter in New York.But before he was any of
that, Ellison was just 'a serial dropout' who spent his young adult
years taking work where he found it and sleeping on couches. In How
to Build Impossible Things, Ellison tells the story of his
unconventional education in the world of architecture and design,
and how he learned the satisfaction and joy that comes from doing
something well for a long time. He takes us on a tour through the
lofts, penthouses, and townhouses of New York's elite which he has
transformed over the years - before they're camera-ready - and
offers a window into what he's learned about living meaningfully
along the way.Scrapped blueprints and last-minute demands
characterise life in the high-stakes world of luxury construction.
From staircases that would be deadly if built as designed to
algae-eating snails boiled to escargot in a penthouse pond, Ellison
exposes the messy wiring behind the pristine walls - and the
mindset that any of us can develop to build our own impossible
things.
