Description
"The fourth book in the Architecture in Detail series, Spaces is a pictorial exploration of interior and exterior enclosures in both the private and public realms. Details - small and large, subtle and powerful - suffuse the work presented. What emerges is a sense of the imperative of crafting spaces for human shelter, commerce, entertainment and culture. Designers at once draw on venerable architectural wisdom in arranging room layouts, while transgressing and erasing boundaries. Designed by Oscar Riera Ojeda and featuring the photography of Paul Warchol, Spaces chronicles recent work from some of the top architects and interior designers in practice today. An introductory essay by James McCown, entitled "The Enduring Room," explores how the ideas of space, ritual and sequence evolved, from the earliest periods in human history to the heroic modernist era of the early twentieth century to the present day. The dichotomy between inside and outside, public and private, sumptuous and spartan - the diverse and talented group of architects and interior designers featured herein use the three dimensions as their canvas, and in so doing continue to engage, surprise and inspire."--BOOK JACKET.
