Walter Benjamin observed in his writings on the interior that 'to live means to leave traces.' This interior design theory reader focuses on just how such traces might manifest themselves. In order to explore interior design's links to other disciplines, the selected texts reflect a wide range of interests extending beyond the traditional confines of design and architecture. It is conceived as a matrix, which intersects social, political, psychological, philosophical, technological and gender discourse, with practice issues, such as materials, lighting, colour, furnishing, and the body. The anthology presents a complex and sometimes conflicting terrain, while also creating a distinct body of knowledge particular to the interior. Locating theory on the interior through these multifarious sources, it encourages future discourse in an area often marginalised but now emerging in its own right. Within the reader individual excerpts are referenced to their place in the matrix and sequenced alphabetically. This

De*ion: The Media House Project is the result of a strategic alliance between the Metapolis Group from Barcelona, the MIT Media Lab, and the Fundacio Politecnica de Catalunya, with the collaboration of the consortium I2Cat and the Elisava Design School. In order to build a prototype of an informational house, this project tests the progression of informational techniques beyond computers, and integrates it into everyday life. As seen here, the Metapolis architects have developed an informative structure, which incorporates in just one element--a house--the physical structure and electrical and data networks that enable a dynamic and configurable link between the entities (people, objects, space, limits, networks, contents) and that which create an inhabitable environment.

Whether a house is in the city, out in the country, or near the water, the presence of a patio, a porch or a veranda can provide an important connection between the interior realm of a home and the external context of a residence. Depending on the location, a porch can serve different functions. In the city, it is a refuge from the loud, hectic traffic; in the countryside, it serves as a platform from which to admire the landscape. These spaces, at the border between interior and exterior, can also be used as outdoor dining rooms and sitting rooms, play rooms, or just intermediate ambiences where one can relax and enjoy the surroundings. This volume gathers a selection of international examples of patios, porches, and verandas where the reader will find inspirational design ideas and tips to make the most out of these spaces. Special attention to furniture and plants will help to create great projects.

150 Best Loft Ideas highlights the myriad ways a loft can work, and will help you create the loft you love Loft life isn't just for artists anymore. What began as an affordable alternative to the high-cost of living in Manhattan in the 1950s has become one of the most expensive and inventive ways of living today. From New York to Johannesburg, Buenos Aires to Barcelona, the lofts included in this book are variations on a simple open plan theme begun decades ago. Find lofts that double as both home and art gallery, where an artist's bedroom invades his exhibition space and the sleeping artist becomes a part of his own permanent collection. See family-inspired lofts with ample space for kids, complete with tire swings hanging from the living room ceiling. From former industrial factories, warehouses, garages, and schools, each loft featured here—whether it is a family home or bachelor pad, an office or an art gallery—offers a unique spin on the traditional concept of the loft. 作者简

Great architectural works are not necessarily those that aremeasured by the number of square meters. Creation depends on thespace and the possibilities that it affords.Therefore,architectural work in small spaces is often a challenge in whichone must achieve the seemingly impossible: to turn a small spaceinto a comfortable dwelling in which the lack of living space isnot perceived. The aim of this book is to show those designs that stand out fortheir skill in creating stim-ulating environments in small spaces.This is a complicated task that is not limited to removingpartitions, building mezzanines and incorporating specificfurniture for the needs of the space. A skillful use of a smallspace requires far more: one must also think of the requirementsand the comfort of the clients, and devise an aesthetic design inwhich the architecture can adapt to the restrictions of a limitedfloor area. A total of 22 works show the imaginative force of thedesigns in which small premises can be transformed into co

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.

This new NeoArchitecture monograph presents the work of Studio Downie, a young practice whose work to date has mostly appeared in the UK, but is poised to make its mark on the world scene. Craig Downie studied architecture within the layered environment of fine art, sculpture, graphics and textiles at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee. He formed Studio Downie in 1993 and its first building, a widely published gallery for the Cass Sculpture Foundation, West Sussex, was completed in 1994. The intervening years have involved many projects, including interiors for the Ondaatje Theatre, the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA), KPMG Microsoft, government funded outreach centres for the West London Training & Enterprise Council and offices for the French Treasury. Recent commissions include the Library for the Royal College of Surgeons of England and a new mixed-use gateway building as part of the King's Cross Development.

Since the 1980s, the diagram has become a preferred method forresearching, communicating, theorising and making architecturaldesigns, ideas and projects. Thus the rise of the diagram, asopposed to the model or the drawing, is the one of the mostsignificant new developments in the process of design in the late20th and early 21st centuries. Diagrams of Architecture is thefirst anthology to represent - through texts and diagrams - thehistories, theories and futures of architecture through thediagram. Spanning the Pre-historic to the Parametric, Diagrams ofArchitecture illustrates over 250 diagrams and brings together 26previously published and newly commissioned essays from leadinginternational academics, architects, theorists and professionalexperts. These combine to define the past and future of thediagram's discourse. Prefaced with a critical introduction by MarkGarcia, each text investigates a central concept or dimension ofthe diagram ranging from socio-cultural studies, science,philosophy, technolo

CLASSIC CHIC is timeless, the interior-design equivalent of the 'little black dress'. Like that item of the wardrobe, such interiors can be dramatised with sophisticated accessories,dressed down by emphasising perfect materials,intrinsic beauty and natural lines, or turned into almost any individualistic look - but however presented, there is a sense of quality and durability, unaffected by fashions, that they all share in common. Classic chic is a class act. So what is it that distinguishes classic chic and how can it be created? Suzanne Trocme's fascinating exploration of these questions weaves together analyses of the principles and their practical applications. The scene is set with a selection of exemplary interiors - hymns to order, elegance, comfort, restraint or drama - from some of the world's most artful designers and architects, including Stephen Sills and James Huniford, Sally Sirkin Lewis, Holly Hunt, Andree Putman and Jonathan Reed. Then comes an in-depth discussion of the principles of
