Dostępność:na zamowienie After previous publications about the lofts in Antwerp, Amsterdam, London, Paris, Berlin and Scandinavia the publisher Tectum went on a voyage of discovery in search of the lofts of Brussels. This late-in-the-day European capitol city phenomenon has emerged like lightning. It's happened so fast that the supply of unused industrial buildings has been almost exhausted. The enthusiasm generated by the cosmopolitan public there has encouraged the actors in this market to search for new ways to expand on the generally wide perspectives that appropriate this lifestyle.
This is a singular and excellent book. It contains 27 case studies of houses, but in addition to the well-executed plans each project features a striking mix of architects' drawings and sketches, often with computer models in addition. This approach allows the reader to perceive the architect's vision of the design of houses and the different phases involved, from first drafts through to final presentations, as well as the way in which the architectural project is graphically represented.
Dostępność:na zamowienie Lofts o f Antwerp is the first book in Flanders devoted to this new way of living. A unique journey of discovery leads us on a tour of former warehouses, factories, printing plants, and schools - all now magically transformed into stylish lofts with their own individual character. Their new functions are quite varied, from private dwellings to offices, from an art gallery to a film studio.
Dostępność:na zamowienie As a reader you are treated to an immense variety of lofts in a wide range of building from all over the world. They have been converted with great ingenuity and imagination by a new breed of urban dwellers who have embraced the loft living idyll. Enthusiastically eclectic, importing ideas gathered from travel or reading, and using furniture from modern emporiums of design or found in junk shops, these loft dwellers have left the essential character and texture of their buildings intact while layering space in subtle ways so that volumetric grandeur is not lost. This tour gives the reader a glimpse of the inventiveness, vigour and pride employed in creating spectacular dwellings out of amorphous spaces.
