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.

Dostępność: na zamówienie In many books there is the issue of saturation-by-computer-rendering, a phenomenon whereby all buildings take on a similar appearance by virtue of using the same digital zeros and ones to create their character. But in the Danish compilations 2 and 3, thereis a greater effort by many of the firms to use advanced rendering technologies to focus on people and their relationships to buildings, rather than on the buildings as art objects in space. The result is to render a fuller Scandinavian regional identity to the work.
