У цій багатоілюстрованій монографії йдеться про післявоєнну модерністську архітектуру в радянській Литві, яка разом з іншими балтійськими республіками розглядалася як виняткова, привласнювала західні культурні моделі набагато швидше і з більшою пристрастю і була названа «радянським Заходом». Проте питання виявлення специфічних архітектурних рис, які відрізняли модернізм в Балтійському регіоні від архітектури інших радянських республік, не є простим завданням, і специфіка аналізу радянського модернізму явно вимагає соціально-політичного підходу. У цій книзі дослідження радянської литовської архітектури спирається на зв'язок між офіційним дискурсом планування і місцевою соціальною практикою і широким колом історичних суб'єктів в практиці планування.

The first book from acclaimed interior designer Barbara Barry explores the beauty and principles of good design. 

Barbara Barry’s work has long been praised for its quiet refinement, soothing palette, and graceful furnishings, as well as for its ravishing tailoring and coloring. In her first book, Barry explores her design philosophy, meditating on the transformative power of beauty. Through a discussion of her principles of good design—simplicity, proportion, and harmony — we discover how to apply these principles to our rooms and to our lives. 

Through page after page of gorgeous, subtle, feminine interiors, Barry explains her design process and shares thought-provoking stories. She discusses what inspires her, from the quality of light to the colors of nature, and illustrates how she utilizes nature in decoration. From the simple strength of a white plate to the sensual elegance of a well-made bed, Barry explains why a gracious life, a well-ordered life, a life around beauty is the only one worth living. In Barbara’s world, every detail is harmonious. 

Comprehensive and beautifully designed, this unique book is a collector’s piece for all design fans.

Unlike any other city travel guide, Barcelona. Secret Museum proposes a view of the city from the subjective perspective of a writer. His contemplative, humorous, and beautifully descriptive text guides the reader through 80 sites, monuments, squares, buildings, as well as shop windows, hidden streets, poor and desolate neighborhoods, walls of posters and street art; always with fascinating cultural commentary and universal references to the history of art, cinema and literature. Each spot visited becomes a plece of a universal puzzle with poetic as well as tongue-in-cheek connections. Street plot converges with literary plot through famous quotes, forgotten verses, and recalled images of great works of art and cinema, always with a playful sense of humor.

Illustrated with the extraordinary photographs of Txema Salvans, this book is a homage to the city’s diversely rich and international urban culture.
