New Classicists: Ken Tate Architect Vol: 2
Автор: Graves Nelson Жанр: ACC Distribution Год: 2005 Страниц: 324 Дата загрузки: 23 декабря 20092008-04-27
|
|
Following the success of Ken Tate's first volume is this book of more beautiful homes. Tate's designs spring from an intensive study of his clients and locales in which they have chosen to build. They demonstrate his obvious love of traditions of architecture which is evident in each home, which is beautifully illustrated through colour photographs. The character and the preferences of his patrons have led him to create residences in a wide variety of styles. The common language is decidedly Classical and all are impeccably researched and executed. All owe their grace and coherence to Tate's knowledge of this tradition but Tate's personal interpretation and intellectual rigors allow each building to stand apart as an individual work of art: beautiful, livable and utterly engaging.

Georgian Jewellery 1714-1830
Автор: Ginny Redington Dawes Жанр: ACC Distribution Год: 2007 Страниц: 192 Дата загрузки: 15 июля 20082009-05-15

Georgian Jewellery is a celebration of the quality and style of the eighteenth century and of the endless ingenuity in design and workmanship that produced such a wealth of fabulous and wearable pieces of jewellery. Heavy academic tomes have already been written about the period, so this book illuminates the subject in a more colourful and accessible way. Much disparate information about the jewellery has been gathered together and the period is brought alive by portraits and character sketches of famous Georgians in their finery, fashion tips, gossip, and some rather outrageous cartoons of the time, as well as interesting newly discovered facts. Some might think that Georgian jewellery is the stuff of museums or safe-deposit boxes, but since many of the pieces pictured here have been on the market in the last few years, it is hoped this book will encourage people to realise this lovely jewellery is as beautiful an adornment today as it was over two hundred years ago. Information is given on how to recognise Georgian jewellery, buy it and repair it and there are tips on how to distinguish the real thing from the plethora of reproduction jewellery on the market today.

Masters of Light
Автор: Peter Hyatt Жанр: ACC Distribution Год: 2007 Страниц: 224 Дата загрузки: 10 декабря 20092011-03-29
|
|
Fifteen leading architects are hailed as 'Masters of Light' in this new take on residential architecture. Writer and architectural photographer Peter Hyatt shows how light, in the hands of these masters, is used to shape, create, transform, heal and regenerate. This book illustrates how architects' often experimental, and highly individual, responses to the brief, site and environment of housing projects can be transcended by the manipulation of light. Just as light can increase worker productivity and satisfaction in an office, it can be shaped to fit a family's lifestyle and enhance its sense of well-being. Each of the features architects demonstrates an impeccable ability to capture the evanescent world of light and shade, and to use it not just as an architectural building block, but as navigation, interior design and artwork. Their skills in shaping light are explored in the more than 60 residential projects examined in this book.
