Los Angeles to także znakomity reportaż o przestrzeni kontrastów, gdzie sąsiadują ze sobą centra ubóstwa i zamożne zamknięte osiedla, bezdomni i celebryci, apokaliptyczne pogorzeliska i bajeczne plaże, przeludnienie i samotność. Dzięki siedmiu lekcjom Baldwina możemy choć trochę zrozumieć miasto, które każdego dnia wymyśla siebie na nowo.
The latest in this successful series, this book features around 150 of the most important buildings in the history of world architecture - from the pyramids and Parthenon to some of the most significant works by recent architects. The buildings are organized by type - from places of worship and public buildings to houses - and are divided into nine chapters, each with an informative introduction that surveys the history of that type. For each building there are numerous, accurate scale drawings showing a combination of floor plans, elevations and sections as appropriate, all specially redrawn for this book.
European emigrés have been changing the face of modern American architecture for decades. Winka Dubbeldam surely belongs to that long list of distinguished practitioners. Working across scales-from a New York skyscraper to a rural house-the Dutch-born architect has established herself as one of the most provocative figures in the field by seamlessly integrating function and form, technology and comfort, city and home.
