Architecture: interior design Books
Taylor & Francis Ltd Big Little Hotel
Book SynopsisThis book showcases small hotels, all located in the United States, designed by architects who use light and materials in interesting and intentional ways. The designs also deliberately connect to their local history, context, or land in many cases all three. Both the architecture and the operations harmonize with the place, whether that is a bustling city, small town, or natural area. Many are new buildings but some are adaptive reuse projects or renovations of historic properties, extending the connectivity of the place into the future.A condensed history of lodging helps to place the many typologies and histories of hospitality in relationship to world events and includes the many factors that influence hotel development such as business practices, technology, and even politics. Hotels are influenced by larger trends and innovations in hospitality such as the emergence of a variety of creative possibilities for future travel. A final chapter includes speculation onTable of ContentsLIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS 001 PREFACE 01. INTRODUCTION TIMELINE 02. HOTEL HISTORIES 1. Hotel Magdalena, Lake|Flato Architects 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The New Curator Exhibiting Architecture and
Book SynopsisThe New Curator: Exhibiting Architecture and Design examines the challenges inherent in exhibiting design ideas. Traditionally, exhibitions of architecture and design have predominantly focused on displaying finished outcomes or communicating a work through representation.In this ground-breaking new book, Fleur Watson unveils the emergence of the new curator'. Instead of exhibiting finished works or artefacts, the rise of performative curation' provides a space where experimental methods for encountering design ideas are being tested. Here, the role of the curator is not that of custodian' or expert' but with the intent to create a shared space of encounter with audiences.To illustrate this phenomenon, the book explores a diverse, international range of exhibitions. Divided into six themes, a series of project profiles are contextualized through conversations with influential curators and cultural producers such as Paola Antonelli, Kayoko Ota, MiTrade Review“At a time of unprecedented interest in design and architecture, experimenting with new approaches to curation is more important than ever. In this timely and incisive book, Fleur Watson deftly maps the terrain while enabling design and architecture curators from all over the world to describe their practices in their own words.”Alice Rawsthorn, author of Design as an Attitude“If the traditional curator squirrels away and the acknowledged curator beavers away, well, Fleur Watson is a veritable sniffer dog who knows just when, where and how to pounce. The book is cosmopolitan and fearless in amassing both evidence and anecdote to suggest that curating is a creative as well as a coercive activity. In particular her sensitivity to place, context and appropriate action is fascinating.”Sir Peter Cook, Architect, CRAB Studio, co-founder of ArchigramTable of ContentsForeword: Deyan Sudjic Introduction: Fleur Watson 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Making Homes
Book SynopsisMaking Homes: Anthropology and Design is a strong addition to the emerging field of design anthropology. Based on the latest scholarship and practice in the social sciences as well as design, this interdisciplinary text introduces a new design ethnography which offers unique and original approaches to research and intervention in the home.Presenting a coherent theoretical and methodological framework for both ethnographers and designers, the authors examine hot' topics ranging from movements and mobilities to im/material environments, to digital culture and confront the challenges of a research and design environment which seeks to bring about the changes required for a sustainable, resilient, safe', and comfortable future.Written by leading experts in the field, the book draws on real-life examples from a wide range of international projects developed by the authors, other researchers, and designers. Illustrations throughout help to convey the methods and research visually. Readers Trade Review"The home is a familiar space, a place we inhabit in one form or another. Making Homes presents ways not just for observation of that space, but for projection too. Pink et al. brilliantly succeed in both illustrating the manifold complexities of home—""making the familiar strange""—and in portraying the home as a space for future-making. Making Homes is relevant for a wide array of people, social scientists, architects and basically anyone who wants to know more about how we inhabit space. - Gareth Doherty, Harvard University Graduate School of Design, USA A landmark contribution to our understanding of home cultures and the emergent field of design ethnography. The authors rightly understand the home as a site of both habitual everyday life and change. Making Homes is essential reading for designers and researchers concerned with how we create better futures. - Philip Crang, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK"Table of ContentsList of FiguresList of AuthorsAcknowledgmentsSeries Preface: Why Home?Rosie Cox, Birkbeck, University of London, UK, and Victor Buchli, University College London, UK1.

This book teaches us how to feel visually, understand color and texture, and find objects, fresh and used, with a sense of life.Trade Review"The Inspired Home: Interiors of Deep Beauty sounds like yet another gorgeous coffee table book. But its author, Karen Lehrman Bloch, was determined to show homes that are not merely perfect; they also have a soul." -- The New York Times "Bloch chose to separate the projects [in The Inspired Home] into such categories as Restraint, Poetry, Stillness and Reduction. In the "Balance" chapter, you'll find [Donna] Karan's home ... a study in calmness and serenity - open, uncluttered spaces, simple furnishings, a restrained palette. But dull it's not." -- New York Post "The book looks at the dwellings of a variety of designers, artists, and stylists for whom the phrase 'less is more' is a mantra at home." -- Women's Wear Daily "Unique details and artifacts transform each of these interiors into a truly unique and beautiful oasis ... Lehrman Bloch explains how these professionals are evoking the most basic principles found in nature to create spaces that are as good for the soul as they are innovative." -- Luxury Interior Design Journal "What is the difference between a house that is merely pretty and one that speaks to the soul?... As Lehrman Bloch puts it, the secret lies in the ability to draw upon color, texture, and nature to imbue spaces and objects with imagination and meaning." -- Lonny Magazine "The Inspired Home is jam-packed full of stunning photography of some amazingly beautiful homes that I could spend hours drooling over ... .[Karen Lehrman Bloch] advocates the use of natural elements to create a home that we feel comfortable and at peace in." -- The Fantasy Decorator "Every once in a while the fruits of an author's labor brings forth a uniquely substantive and fresh approach to how we view and, therefore, interpret interior design ... Karen Lehrman Bloch has achieved this in her newly released book The Inspired Home." -- C. J. Dellatore "[Karen Lehrman Bloch] has a certain and constant focus-and with this new book she presents her ideas of authentic, uplifting, elegant, and enduring beauty." -- The Style Saloniste
