Creative, Fascinating Use of the Mirror,
By Carl E. Widell, Jr. (Washington, DC, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mirror by Design: Using Reflection to Transform Space (Hardcover)
To paraphrase 'Art Times', 'this is far more than an interior decorator's book, but a definitive analysis of the creative, and practical uses of the mirror.' 'Mirror By Design' won Honorable Mention for the Polsky Award from the American Society of Interior Designers.Ms. Heyne, an architect herself, shows how architects and designers use mirrors to dematerialize heavy, bulky design elements, such as mirroring supporting columns; to create illusions, such as installing an 'infinity chamber' in a low restaurant ceiling to provide the feeling of height; or even to create views where there are none, such as through Ms. Heyne's own 'periscope window', which reflects a view from ground level into a basement area. Experiments in underground space, in light tubes which can provide sunlight in lower story rooms, and numerous other fascinating products, make this a wonderful resource for the architect or designer. |
