17 boutiques in illustrated architectural monograph typical for l'ArcaEdizioni, May 17, 2007
This review is from: Boutiques (Commercial Space) (Paperback)
It is a typical and copiously illustrated in color survey of 17 works (projects of boutiques) of one design firm (architect). Like other architectural monographs from l'ArcaEdizioni sized 9 1/2 x 13 3/8 inch, it is beautifully published on glossy paper, and full of excellent color photos, but also fewer b&w small technical drawings (plans, sections). There is a short introduction to the architect on a few pages, then the main part presenting architectural works, and ending lists of (selected) projects (credits) and office architects (biographies), etc. Each architectural work is depicted on several pages by illustrations and a title page with a short text description. The book is beautiful, well published, printed, and bound. It is slightly less technical and more album-like than the Architectural Monographs (No) series (or their present equivalent) published by Wiley-Academy (formerly Academy Editions / St. Martin's Press or Rizzoli).
