Lannoo Publishers Hidden Architecture: Buildings that Blend In
Book SynopsisThis book presents innovative examples of hidden architecture: buildings that are designed to disappear into their surroundings or hide in plain sight. In the city, hidden buildings are often designed to provide the occupants with privacy and protection from the busy world outside or they can be incorporated into the streetscape to free up space for public use. In the countryside, buildings should not spoil a scenic landscape, so they can be designed to become a part of it. Buildings can be buried underground, hidden amongst trees, covered with greenery or even sunk into the sea. They can be clad in mirrors to reflect their surroundings, disappear beneath an urban plaza or be hidden from view on top of another building. Each of these imaginative solutions offers a way for architecture to blend in rather than stand out. Hidden Architecture tells the stories of projects from around the world that are cleverly disguised but still beautifully detailed and outstanding in their execution.

Acc Publishing Group Ltd What is Quality in Art
Book SynopsisThat this is a legitimate question, even a necessary one, is argued by Vergara in a pleasurable manner, with the pace and attitude of a peripatetic thinker. There is something here that reminds one of Montaigne or Stendhal.' El PaísIn-depth art-historical reflection on value judgments in art by one of Europe's leading curatorsThroughout history, human beings have excelled at creating art of the highest quality. Aristotle wrote that Homer surpassed all others and Pliny the Elder referred to masterpieces that we never tire of admiring. Velázquez distinguished between portraits made with art and those that were not. What did they all mean exactly? What do we mean when we say that a work of art is good, of high quality? This book is an attempt to explain this central question, which remains surprisingly unexplored.Alejandro Vergara Sharp argues that a deep knowledge of the history of art provides us with the tools to approach this issue objectively.

The American University in Cairo Press Ancient Egyptian Jewelry: 50 Masterpieces of Art
Book SynopsisJewelry was worn by ancient Egyptians at every level of society and, like their modern descendants, they prized it for its aesthetic value, as a way to adorn and beautify the body. It was also a conspicuous signifier of wealth, status, and power. But jewelry in ancient Egypt served another fundamental purpose: its wearers saw it as a means to absorb positive magical and divine powers—to protect the living, and the dead, from the malignant forces of the unseen. The types of metals or stones used by craftsmen were magically important, as were the colors of the materials, and the exact positioning of all the elements in a design. Ancient Egyptian Jewelry: 50 Masterpieces of Art and Design draws on the exquisite collections in the archaeological museums of Cairo to tell the story of three thousand years of jewelry-making, from simple amulets to complex ritual jewelry to the spells that protected the king in life and assisted his journey to the Otherworld in death. Gold, silver, carnelian, turquoise, and lapis lazuli were just some of the precious materials used in many of the pieces, and this stunningly illustrated book beautifully showcases the colors and exceptional artistry and accomplishment that make ancient Egyptian jewelry so dazzling to this day.Trade Review"The photography is crisp, clear, modern and very attractive: it makes you observe the jewelry in another way. . . [and] the book provides, seemingly in passing, an enormous amount of information about religion, economy, trade, history and craftsmanship."—Bedouin Silver"Beautifully illustrated...inherently fascinating and impressively informative."—Midwest Book Review"Highlights fifty of the most beautiful pieces of jewelry ever created—anywhere."—Ancient Egypt Magazine"Stunning" —AramcoWorldTable of ContentsIntroduction: Ancient Egyptian Jewelry Ancient Egyptian Jewelry: 50 Masterpieces The Bracelets of Horus Djer Carnelian Necklace with a Lion Head Amulet The Butterfly Bracelets of Queen Hetepheres Jewels of Princess Khnemet Khnemet’s Motto Bracelets Falcon Collar with Amulets Bracelet Clasps of Khnemet Princess Ita’s Dagger Necklace with a Pectoral of Senwosret II Bracelets of Queen Weret Cowrie Shell Belt Queen Weret’s Motto Necklace A Queen’s Bracelets and Anklets Pectoral of Senwosret III Diadem of a Princess Sithathoriunet’s Mirror Cowrie Shells and Acacia Seeds Mereret’s Feline Girdle Anklets with Claw Pendants Pendant of a Princess Neferuptah’s Collar Pectoral of Amenemhat III A Necklace with Fly Pendants Queen Ahhotep’s Bracelet Ahmose’s Armlet A Queen’s Bracelets The Ankh Sign A Glass Kohl Holder A General’s Earring Pectoral of an Official Gold Statuette of Tutankhamun Tutankhamun’s Daggers A Falcon Pendant Necklace Necklace with a Lunar Boat Tutankhamun’s Vulture Pectoral Pectoral of Nut Bracelets of Rameses the Great Seti II’s Earrings Pasebkhanut’s Necklace Pectoral of Pasebkhanut A General’s Pendant The Goddess Isis Pectoral of Sheshonq I Sheshonq’s Wedjat Bracelets Pectoral of Sheshonq II Pendant Head of Hathor Pendant of Maat A Necklace of Many Pendants A Young Woman’s Jewelry Diadem of Serapis Afterword and Further Reading

Victionary Packaged for Life: Beer, Wine & Spirits
Book SynopsisIn our haste to consume the things we love, we often disregard or discard packaging without a second thought. While many would argue that they bear no significance to our daily lives or should be done away with entirely in our quest to save the environment, there is a lot more to packaging design than meets the eye. On top of conveying a brand’s personality, purpose, or message meaningfully and embodying its contents in ways that catch the eye, a seemingly ordinary bottle or box can become an artist or designer’s canvas for extraordinary creative expression. Packaged for Life: Beer, Wine, & Spirits explores some of the most compelling ways and interesting visuals with which popular spirits are packaged to tantalise you into indulging in your tipples of choice. It serves as a vessel of inspiration through which we can recognise, appreciate, and celebrate the unnoticed or overlooked tactile beauty in everyday product packaging. The book comes with a booklet of fun facts about alcohol, including the different ways to give a toast, and hangover cures around the world!
