Charles Garnier
Dostępność: na zamówienie Charles Garnier (Paris 1825-1898). The eclectism of this French architect enables him to be placed within the Second Imperial style. His works can be considered as archetypal examples of Neo-classical Renaissance and baroque architecture. His greatest undertaking was the Opera House in Paris (1861-1875), highly relevant for the subsequent development of architecture in the nineteenth century. The overall effect is harmonious but different styles and decorations are combined together through sculptures, frescos and marble.

100 HOUSES FOR 100 ARCHITECTS
Największym wyzwaniem podczas projektowania domów jest zachowanie odpowiedniej równowagi między estetyką a indywidualnymi wymaganiami użytkowników. Choć ważne jest utrzymanie i wdrożenie wizji i stylu architekta, odbiorca-klient musi czuć się tu jak u siebie. Szczególnie ciekawe zatem wydaje się prześledzenie właśnie tych domów, które architekci tworzą sami dla siebie. Przyjmując wówczas zasadę, że domy są odzwiercieldeniem osobowości mieszkańców, domy architektów zdają się pełnić funkcję swoistej autobiografii. Lokalizacja, rozplanowanie, styl, oświetlenie, wystrój wnętrza, meble-każdy szczegół nadaje barwę danej historii.
