Ce livre sans texte est constitué de 103 planches présentant plus de 2000 dessins, relevés par l’architecte d’ameublement parisien Édouard Bajot. Il s’agit d’une reproduction en fac-similé d’un ouvrage de la fin du XIXe siècle.

Principalement axé sur les motifs ornementaux (profils de moulures et tournages mais aussi sculptures décoratives, formes et
bas-reliefs), il témoigne de l’évolution artistique et ornementale depuis l’époque gothique jusqu’à la fin du XIXe siècle. Si la France est la principale source iconographique, l’Angleterre, l’Allemagne et l’Italie ne sont pas oubliées.

Les plus belles et les plus caractéristiques réalisations d’architecture, de sculpture et d’ébénisterie d’art ont servi de modèles à
l’auteur qui nous présente six siècles de motifs ornementaux et décoratifs, permettant ainsi d’acquérir une large connaissance des formes décoratives en architecture, en sculpture et dans le mobilier.

A master selection of contemporary retail spaces designed by the renowned international architecture studio Design International. A passionate and unexpected story about the world of shopping malls, complex structures that are becoming increasingly innovative and surprising.

This informative book illustrates the story of a number of large retail spaces, places that are no longer just shopping centers but complex and multiform spaces, where you can find commercial activities, entertainment, and services, and whose design is strongly linked to the city in which they are built and to the local culture of which they are an expression. Through the words of Davide Padoa—CEO of Design International Architecture Studio—the volume introduces the reader to the most interesting aspects of each project.

Iconic symbols, these new malls are meant as the highest expression of contemporary wellness and pleasure, aiming to become a major attraction that can offer guests unique and unexpected experiences. From Cairo in Egypt, to Mexico in North America, these are new international trade scenarios that can seduce even the most conservative of consumers.

The first comprehensive survey of the subject in more than 20 years, this lavish volume documents nearly 100 Mughal sites and monuments in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

'Mughal Architecture & Gardens' gives an insight into what is undoubtedly one of the most impressive groups of monuments and gardens ever to be ascribed to a single royal lineage. Innovative and inspirational, these 16th and 17th century constructions demonstrate the staggering wealth and power of those responsible for their creation, notably the emperors Akbar, Jahangir and Shah Jahan. Mughal architecture is a remarkable hybrid that fuses building forms and decorative schemes from Iran and Central Asia with long-established Indian practice. The most famous examples are the Red Fort in Dehli and Taj Mahal in Agra. This beautifully illustrated book outlines the history of Mughal architecture and gardens, from stylistic developments under different emperors, to the geometric origins of Mughal design and decoration. Now the gardens are mostly lost, but Michell carefully depicts how they would have been; their structures and layouts, the favoured varieties of colourful flowers and scented plants, and the laborious but innovative methods sometimes used to create running water in areas without natural springs and streams.

The author gives particular attention to the major monuments and gardens in the imperial centres of Mughal power, namely Dehli, Agra, Fatehpur Sikri and Lahore. These sections are accompanied by specially commissioned architectural plans as well as over 250 stunning colour photographs. Written by a leading authority on Indian architecture, this magnificent book is the quintessential guide to Mughal architecture and garden design.
