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.
Hudson Architects was initially known for contemporary one-off houses, which in many ways defined its early public persona. This book, the first comprehensive monograph of Hudson Architects, illustrates how, unafraid to challenge established ways of working, the practice has developed a diverse and complex portfolio across a range of sectors. A series of illustrated essays by key authors and commentators on contemporary architecture in the UK and beyond examines their work, from the practice's skill in beautiful detailing to its ability to create a modern response to vernacular and tradition. The book also showcases the practice's recent civic and community buildings, and its community engagement work.
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.
