MINBAR OF SALADIN

156,45 zł Cena

This is the remarkable story of one of the masterpieces of Islamic art. Made in the middle of the 12th century, this wooden pulpit, perhaps the finest ever seen, stood in the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem for some eight hundred years until it was burned down in 1969 by a tourist claiming to be acting on orders from God. Its loss to the Muslim world was immense and so the decision was taken by the mosque's guardians, the Jordanian royal family to rebuild it. Nobody, however, could have guessed just how complicated the process would be, nor how long it would take.

LONDON MINIMUM

51,45 zł Cena
Minimalism is more than a style. It is a philosophy and London Minimum features the work of some of London’s most celebrated and creative individuals and superb photography reveals the harmony of minimal design – the true London style. From the elegant restraint of Georgian architecture, furniture and silverware to the pared-down, sophisticated interiors of contemporary designers, London has always displayed a preference for directness and uniformity. This tradition – making use of materials of the highest quality in the simplest and most dramatic ways – continues in London’s penchant for minimal design. Minimalism is about space and light, function and refinement, clarity and precision. It creates calm amidst the chaos of city living.

HANDMADE HOUSES AND OTHER...

86,10 zł Cena

Vernacular architecture, by its very nature, is built from local materials that are readily to hand and is thus defined by the geology and ecology of the region and by local climatic conditions. Constructed by the community using traditional tools, these structures are highly practical, energy-efficient, and blend with the landscape. They carry many of the attributes that we are now seeking in green architecture as we struggle to adapt our built environment to the demands and concerns of the climate-change era. "Handmade Houses and Other Buildings" looks at everyday structures all over the world, from whatever wood, grass, earth or stone that was to hand, in ways that offered practical solutions to the challenges of climate or terrain.
