Once the greatest American example of a modern city served by infrastructure, Los Angeles is now in perpetual crisis. Infrastructure has ceased to support its urban plans, subordinating architecture to its own purposes. This out-of-control but networked world is increasingly organized by flows of objects and information. Static structures avoid being superfluous by joining this system as temporary containers for people, objects, and capital. This provocative collection of photography, essays, and maps looks at infrastructure as a way of mapping our place in the city and affecting change through architecture.

A fresh look at the interiors of Renzo Mongiardino — considered one of the finest designers of the late twentieth century — that will both appeal to past devotees and introduce his work to a new generation of design enthusiasts.

This book explores the sublime work of Renzo Mongiardino (1916–1998), reinforcing his place as a legend in the field. Mongiardino has a background as an acclaimed set designer for stage and film, which had an effect on his work — lush interiors with trompe l’oeil finishes, museum-quality antiques, sumptuous fabrics, and a bewitching theatricality. Clients included elite members of the worlds of fashion, art, and society: Agnelli, Rothschild, Peretti, Radziwill, and Onassis.

Cabana, the au courant interiors magazine, investigates Mongiardino’s work with stunning new photography (many interiors are published here for the first time), thoughtful prose, and animated layouts. This is the most contemporary book on the creations of the modern master and will appeal to connoisseurs of beauty and interior design.

Ireland is synonymous with pubs, traditionally the focal point of community life. Yet in 21st-century Ireland the traditional pub is rapidly disappearing.

This nostalgic tour presents pubs from all four provinces that epitomize the charm of old Ireland. They range from the richly decorated Victorian bars of Belfast and Dublin to country shop pubs that double as grocery stores. James Fennell’s atmospheric photographs and Turtle Bunbury’s engaging descriptions capture the essence of each pub and provide a rich chronicle of this unique facet of community life.

Here is a tribute to the way things were, a representative record of what survives and a reminder of the continuing allure of the Irish pub. In these pages, everyone can find the real thing.

В этой книге широко представлена одна из самых ярких страниц истории мирового искусства - Итальянский Ренессанс. Итальянский Ренессанс - это эпоха безмерного взлета творческой фантазии, невиданной прежде свободы человеческого гения, равно гармонично покорявшего все области доступной ему деятельности - архитектуру, скульптуру, живопись.

В период раннего Возрождения сосредоточившиеся и вскормленные во Флоренции и Италии искусство и культура претерпели радикальное обновление, которое постепенно распространилось по всей Европе различными средствами и стилистическими проявлениями. Возрождение основывалось на обновленном интересе к Древнему миру - от философии до литературы, от мифологии до изобразительного искусства, - неоплатонической философии и гуманизму. Научные интересы включали познание природы и человека, в том числе, его анатомии, и поиск новых технологий. Гармоничное сочетание основных искусств вырастало над уровнем механического воспроизведения, чтобы превратиться в свободное выражение теперь уже консолидированных интеллектуальных прерогатив мастера. Перечень великих имен, которые сделали этот художественный период таким плодотворным включает Мазаччо, Брунеллески, Леонардо, Микеланджело и Рафаэля.

The gabled manor houses of the early 17th century are, for many, the epitome of the English country house; indeed, Jacobean houses form the core of the National Trust collection. Richly illustrated with colour and duotone photographs from "Country Life's" unparalleled archive, this book tells the absorbing story of the evolution of the Jacobean country house. Though the Jacobean period itself spanned only 22 years (1603-25), it was to have a major impact on English domestic architecture. This was an exciting period of experiment and discovery, with an extraordinary range of architectural styles being brought into play. Plain Classical formality coexisted with French, Italian and Dutch examples adapted to English tastes, the result of an explosion in new ideas that also produced revolutions in other aspects of life - notably the English Civil War. Nicholas Cooper's authoritative essays on 22 key Jacobean houses are brought to life with beautifully reproduced photographs in the next in the "Country Life" series on houses by period.

Phoebe Howard's penchant for creating stylish spaces has evolved into her own brand of decorating. Known for her fresh take on traditional style, Mrs. Howard continually strives to keep it pretty. This book will feature several of her biggest design projects including houses in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama, Bermuda and New York and will address the most common decorating issues and problems she gets asked about by clients and customers.

The book's design projects are organized by theme: Inviting, Inspiring, Timeless, Graceful, Tranquil, Casual and Comfortable.

These are words used to describe Mrs. Howard's style of decorating and also illustrate the many different ways she strives to make her houses look and feel.

This beautiful book, in both package and content, will appeal to the design conscious and individuals with a flair for the pretty.

Whether homeowner or tenant, our homes are one of our most significant emotional assets. They can define our quality of life, protecting and comforting, inspiring and motivating, but only if our homes are a liberating expression of who we are and an effective tool in how we want to live. In "The Joy of Home", interior designer, Naomi Cleaver, guides you through everything it takes to design the perfect home for you, from revealing your unique 'creative DNA' to common sense practicalities. Naomi reveals insider information on visualisation, space planning, the mechanics of heating and ventilation and what 'green' really means. When it comes to implementation, whether major construction or a simple craft project, Naomi explains, based on years of personal and professional experience, how to get the results you want. Written in the same easy-to-follow narrative of a much-loved cook book, and packed with inspiring ideas and seductive imagery, "The Joy of Home" is an essential reference book in any home transformation project, illustrating how to design a home to reflect your heart's desire.

Kitchens have been transformed from a purely utilitarian workspace to a culinary-family-friends mecca where everyone congregates. While kitchens in condos and small houses may still be limited in square footage, even a tiny galley-style space is often now open to living and dining areas in loft-style arrangement for better camaraderie and conversation.

Divided into two sections, this book will guide you through the process of designing the perfect kitchen. The first section takes you through a step-by-step approach to kitchen design and renovation, complete with questions to ask contractors, layout suggestions and checklists. Followed by a selection of inspiring kitchens, highlighting different options and styles to help you create your ideal space, The Kitchen Bible is an invaluable tool to help you design a culinary space that inspires and delights.

This work is devoted to one of the home's most essential spaces: the kitchen. With over 600 photographs, the book offers an extensive selection of the best kitchens with examples of different styles chosen for their size and layout: XXS, Medium, Open & View, Eat-in and XXL. Each chapter, in addition to the inspiring photos, includes a range of products related to each of the five styles, with information on leading brands and manufacturers of kitchens and accessories.
