Book Description

Publication Date: October 28, 2005

Architectural styles and decorating details from every corner of the world, from the modest adobe dwelling to a skyscraper of glass and steel, are compared in this treatise on design. The genius of each culture shines through in its distinctive use of colors and materials, and in the way the spaces are arranged. From an unadorned Vietnamese sitting room to a bustling Neapolitan street market, or a modern London flat and a baroque drawing room in Versailles, this book is a forum in which old and new, organic and synthetic, rustic and urbane happily coexist. Distintos y variados estilos de arquitectura y diseño de cada esquina del mundo, desde las casas modestas de adobe hasta viviendas de vidrio y hierro, son comparados en este homenage al diseño. Se puede observar las soluciones que comunidades enteras han encontrado para afrontar problemas comunes: elección del lugar, emplazamiento y construcción, decoración de interior, cultivo de áreas cercanas al hogar. La misma atención al detalle puede percibirse en la disposición de una sala austera de Vietnam hasta un napolitano mercado activo; un piso moderno de Londres hasta una sala de dibujar en Versalles; un palacio indio hasta un café chileno.
