NEW MATHEMATICS OF...
From chaos and complexity theory to topology, from optimization to datascapes: the design and construction of complex, sublime buildings that will change the way we perceive major structures. Ever since building began, architecture has relied on mathematics to achieve visual harmony, structural integrity, and logical construction.

DARK NOSTALGIA
Faultlessly Stylish Interiors for Business, Pleasure and Leisure As the late twentieth-century fascination with rounded shapes, organic influences, and plastics fades, interior designers are increasingly drawn to deep colours, polished woods, velvets, furs, leather, dark metals, and brick – materials used liberally in the past – that have a nostalgic quality. Efforts to shape a less austere present by creating an idealized version of the past have begun to appear in commercial and residential design throughout the country and abroad.

BAWA - THE SRI LANKA GARDENS
Dostępność:na zamowienie Geoffrey Bawaâs architectural work is well documented, but less attention has been paid to his work on gardens.

This book begins with a largely photographic overview of Sri Lankaâs natural features, showing the varied palette of landscapes that inspired Bawaâs sensitive treatment of architecture.
