Between these covers lies a collection of homes that range from the wildly eccentric to the downright gorgeous. In many parts of Asia, where design is still viewed as a luxury, these funky abodes are proof that even in the most oppressive and conservative societies, design will survive. Immerse yourself in luscious, inspiring photographs and poetic text, which go behind the doors and into the lives and loves of the designers and occupants. Oozing with design appeal and overflowing with personality, these homes are the materialisation of the designers' dedication to detail and refusal to conform to the norm, and the very embodiment of its occupants' personalities. Take a tour with us as we seek out individual homes in Asia that break out of the norm and pile on the style. From tiny apartments to spacious bungalows, these projects are bursting at the seams with style and personality. 作者简介： KELLEY CHENG-PERSONAL PROFILE:Graduated with two degrees from the National University of

Andrea Palladio influenced the history and evolution of Western architecture like no other. This book is the first of three in a series set to be the largest and most complete publication ever on the work of the great architect. Relying on comparison with drawings in Palladios Four Books of Architecture (Venice, 1570), the author highlights the links between the realized buildings and the theoretical designs, and between the concepts derived from classical architecture and the work of Vitruvius and their subsequent development. This volume is an indispensable tool for anyone interested in Palladios villas.

The Argentineans are highly cultivated people with a strong connection to the old world; their achievements in design, filmmaking, literature, music, and art place them firmly in today s global culture spotlight.

Editor Angelika Taschen invites readers to pore over this selection of houses, apartments, ranches, polo grounds, and more, including an opulent century-old opera house where Maria Callas sang as well as the homes of Francis Mallmann, the country s most famous chef, Xul Solar, painter and close friend of the great Argentinean writer Jorge Luis Borges, and Juan Gatti, graphic designer for Pedro Almod var.

Here is an exceptional insight into the unique ironwork created by todays artist-blacksmiths. Over 250 color photographs display details of contemporary iron objects, including flowers, grape clusters, leaves, small and large animals that attest to the blacksmiths role as a sculptor. There are amazing scrolls, folds, twists, textures, and weaves not normally associated with the hard material. With heat, hammer, talent, and muscle, the modern artist-blacksmith is forging exciting forms that permeate our surroundings. The casual viewer may often overlook details of small elements used to create a magnificent whole. Dona Z. Meilach shows how focusing on the iron details of flowers, leaves, and amazing critters makes ordinary fences, gates, and chandeliers extraordinary.

Hotels around the world will offer a 'Presidential Suite' or 'Royal Suite' for the use of VIP guests. Some of these suites are larger than 1000 square metres, and some provide special security measures. In London, the famous Claridge's Hotel has a Royal Suite that's used by the British Royal Family so often that it s been given the nickname 'Buckingham Palace Annex'. During a two-week period when President Reagan stayed in the Presidential Suite in New York's landmark Waldorf Towers, the floors above and below his suite were kept empty, and the ceilings, floors and walls were carefully checked for listening devices. it is said that for security reasons, Reagan slept in an adjoining room, rather than the master bedroom. A top-class Presidential Suite may include a private lobby, a drawing room with attached toilet, a dining/meeting room, a library/study, a main bedroom with attached bath, a second bedroom with attached bath, guest bedrooms and other facilities.

Turn of the century Paris is often referred to as the belle époque, a golden age of affluence and artistic creativity before the turmoil of the First World War. This was the Paris of artists such as Bonnard, Rodin, Seurat and Vuillard, as well as writers and musicians such as Debussy, Zola and Maupassant. The Eiffel Tower had just been built and the Moulin Rouge was in its heyday - Paris was the cosmopolitan capital of pleasure and culture. The architecture of the period, however, has generally been neglected known only for the Art Nouveau designs of Guimard's Metro entrances and restaurants such as Maxim's. This book, based on a thorough survey of Parisian buildings of the era, connects the medievalism of Viollet-le-Duc, the classical tradition of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and early developments in metal and concrete construction with modern pioneers like Perret, de Baudot and Sauvage. Including the exuberant designs by architects working in the 'Ritz style', as well as the work of a multitude of architects

The relation between the earth - as a natural element and the planet on which we live - and architecture is illustrated in this volume where the respect for nature's simplicity inspired each of the cases here presented. With a renewed desire to make use of the materials the earth can offer and a strong sense of identification with the habitat that surrounds them, these architects and interior designers offer solutions - some more technical, others artisanal - that ensure that their projects are as well-integrated into their surroundings as possible, with designs that seem to retro-nourish themselves from the planet: they adapt to it and resolve, with as little environmental impact as possible, the challenges in topography, climate, energy and culture planted befu'e rhem. This way, architecture is responding with efficient and conclusive proposals that, similar to the concepts of sustainable architecture, symbolize a meditative and logical contemplation of origins by displaying more confidence in materials tha

Guest-edited by Luigi Prestinenza Puglisi Every five or six years, a different country takes the architectural lead in Europe: England came to the fore with High Tech in the early 1980s; by the end of the 1980s, France came to prominence with Fran ois Mitterand's great Parisian projects; in the 1990s, Spain and Portugal were discovering a new tradition; and recently the focus has been on the Netherlands. In this ever shifting European landscape, Italy is now set to challenge the status quo. Already home to some of the world's most renowned architects - Renzo Piano, Massimiliano Fuksas and Antonio Citterio - it also has many talented architects like Mario Cucinella, Italo Rota, Stefano Boeri, the ABDR group and Maria Giuseppina Grasso Cannizzo, who are now gaining international attention. Moreover there is an extraordinary emergence of younger architects - the Erasmus generation - who are beginning to realise some very promising buildings of their own.
