Lighting is a key feature of almost all interiors but it isoften treated in a rather superficial manner in most books. It is,however, a complex, fast-moving field where the technology isalways changing. For large schemes, a professional lightingdesigner is usually employed, but for smaller projects it willoften fall to the architect or interior designer to specify thelighting. In either case, it is crucial that the architect orinterior designer understands what lighting is available, how itcan be used and controlled and how it can be fitted. This bookfeatures 40 recent international projects. Each project featuresdetailed plans, diagrams, sketches and CAD visuals to demonstratethe lighting techniques involved. This is accompanied by anexplanatory text (how the lighting fulfilled the brief, how thelighting concept was arrived at, why particular lightfittings/lamps were specified and so on). A bonus CD includestechnical drawings from the book.

Weeds: The Story of Outlaw Plants 杂草的故事 Richard Mabey (作者) 基本信息 出版社: Profile Books Ltd (2012年3月8日) 平装: 336页 语种： 英语 ISBN: 1846680816 条形码: 9781846680816 商品尺寸: 12.9 x 2.1 x 19.8 cm ASIN: 1846680816 内容简介 Ever since the first human settlements 10,000 years ago, weeds have dogged our footsteps. They are there as the punishment of 'thorns and thistles' in Genesis and , two millennia later, as a symbol of Flanders Field. They are civilisations' familiars, invading farmland and building-sites, war-zones and flower-beds across the globe. Yet living so intimately with us, they have been a blessing too. Weeds were the first crops, the first medicines. Burdock was the inspiration for Velcro. Cow parsley has become the fashionable adornment of Spring weddings. Weaving together the insights of botanists, gardeners, artists and poets with his own life-long fascination, Richar

Is this a man's world?: Bright, bold pictograms from Yang Liu revisit the roles, relationships and age-old clich s of male and female experience. Imagine a setting in which a man wearing a dress might be as habitual as a woman in trousers. Where a woman exposing herself in public wasn?t sexy, but as creepy as a male flasher. Where professional status and success presented the same prospects for both sexes. In this first in a new series for TASCHEN, leading graphic designer Yang Liu tackles one of the hottest, and one of the oldest, topics of all : he and she. Drawing on the experiences, challenges and many perspectives on men and women she has encountered in her own life, Yang Liu distils the vast, swirling question of gender to bold, binary pictograms . Dealing with a whole host of situations from the bedroom to the boardroom , Yang Liu?s designs are as simple and accessible in their presentation as they are infinite in the associations, evocations and responses they elicit. Combining ag
