Після свого золотого віку в останні десятиліття 20-го століття, діаграмобудування все ще залишається експериментальною практикою, але воно зосереджене на синтезі складності та на нових дисциплінарних територіях на межі гуманітарних наук, мистецтва, архітектури, містобудування та ландшафту. Цей посібник представляє експериментальні діаграми через відчуття, аналіз та трансформацію простору. У роботах критично окреслено діаграмну поведінку в історії архітектури, представлено дизайнерські практики таких бюро, як AZPML та MVRDV, доведено медіум до його крайніх наслідків та окреслено майбутні траєкторії.

The American farmhouse represents integrity, ingenuity, self-reliance, and agricultural heritage.

Today, the farmhouse is a rare survivor from another era that can be found sensitively reinterpreted by artists, carefully preserved by original owners, or functionally maintained by farm-to-table artisanal food producers.

In more than 200 stunning images, Steve Gross and Sue Daley have painstakingly photographed 20 of the most beautifully preserved farmhouses in the northeast. Some are working farmhouses that have been passed down in families for generations; some have been made productive again by a whole new generation of organic farmers. Still others have been rescued from neglect and restored to their former splendor.

Each house is accompanied by an overview of the farmhouse owner and how he or she maintains the property.

Fans of the farm-to-table movement as well as historic architecture and preservation will find this an intriguing and beautiful read.

Fashion is a way of celebrating the diversity and variety of the world we live in. It is a state of mind and an extension of one's self. Buying clothes, whether it be street fashion, urban outdoor, prêt-à-porter or haute-couture, should always be fun and celebrated passionately as an unique experience.

Designers of fashion stores have the mission to create environments that provide the perfect stage for every garment and appeal to their specific target groups.

Every design in this volume is tailored to its task, thereby setting new design trends. It will certainly impress not only avowed fashion addicts, while awakening readers' desire to indulge in their next clothes shopping experience.

A lavish exploration of unmatched savoir-faire, this volume showcases the rooms and creations of the world's most prestigious decorative woodwork firm.

The French woodwork purveyor Féau & Cie has supplied architects, designers, and museums with period panelling since 1875. Featuring documents, drawings, plaster models, panels, and antique boiserie rooms, its archive of 25,000 pieces -- many from the eighteenth century and Art Deco era -- is an unrivalled source of inspiration for re-creating heirloom spaces as well as for constructing spectacular contemporary pieces. Though the house remains best known for its magical historic rooms, it has collaborated with architects and decorators on original projects since its beginnings, and today's design greats -- including Michael S. Smith, Brian J. McCarthy, and Robert Couturier, among others -- regularly call upon the firm for elaborate projects.

In this first book of the firm's work, Féau & Cie reveals a selection of its most exceptional projects, from magnificent historical abodes to daring modern creations, including a palace in Tuscany and residences in Paris, London, New York, Malibu, and Atlanta. Dazzling images of finished interiors are accompanied by details of panels, doors, and decor, while exclusive photographs by lensman Robert Polidori explore the house's Parisian atelier. The unique savoir-faire of joiners, sculptors, gilders, and painter-decorators shines through in this visual celebration of decorative masterpieces, which is bound to delight design masters and art lovers alike.

In their first book, acclaimed architects Ken Pursley and Craig Dixon explore how to create gracious homes with welcoming entryways, soulful interiors, inviting porches, and ebullient gardens.

Founded on the simple principle “Build beautiful things,” the architectural team of Pursley Dixon, like populist architects Bobby McAlpine and Jeff Dungan, is known for blending elements of tradition with a modern lifestyle. In Finding Home, they share 15 stunning houses in three distinct styles: rustic mountain escapes, dreamy retreats by the water, and elegant houses in town. Each house has its own thoughtful visual narrative, but all are connected on an innate and authentic level by their sense of proportion, attention to detail, and a marvelous affinity with nature, displayed in their soothing neutral palettes, oversize windows that bring the outdoors in, and natural materials such as rough-hewn stone and unfinished wood. Little touches of humanity await discovery, such as a sleeping nook perched right out into the highest branches of a tree. These eccentricities and secrets add to the distinctly Southern sense of warmth and refuge these homes provide, homes whose open interiors and majestic porches easily accommodate family and gatherings.
 
Featuring their own interior design work as well as that of acclaimed decorators such as Suzanne Kasler, Phoebe Howard, and Circa Interiors, Finding Home is about creating houses of inherent beauty that will spark an emotional connection to last a lifetime.

About the Authors:

Recipients of the Veranda/ADAC Architecture Firm of the Year award and the Southern Living Home of the Year Award, Pursley Dixon Architecture’s work has been featured in numerous publications, including Traditional Home, Veranda, Garden & Gun, and Southern Living.

Breathtaking houses that are built lovingly with noble materials and heritage methods, always presented in profound conversation with nature.

JLF Architects, based in Bozeman, Montana, and Jackson Hole, Wyoming, believe first and foremost that architecture should be rooted in its particular place, responding in a meaningful way to the natural or built environment. Using local materials and partnering with the best local craftsmen, JLF Architects seeks to create buildings that are tactile and modern, environmentally responsible and authentic, artful and crafted.

Now more than 30 years since its founding, the firm has grown along with the range and complexity of its projects, and still considers the desire to build in partnership with the land to be an approach that remains valid and increasingly resonant. JLF Architects’ first projects were houses and these projects excite the firm still.

JLF Architects have found that by exploring the inti-mate relationship between family, place, and building they can create unique living environments that possess a compelling authenticity and beauty.
