Le monde des couleurs a toujours éveillé la curiosité de l'homme, tant par sa diversité et sa complexité que par son extraordinaire contenu émotionnel. Depuis des siècles, scientifiques et artistes s'interrogent sur la nature des couleurs, des phénomènes qui les créent, et sur les moyens à mettre en oeuvre afin de les mesurer et de les utiliser. A ces innombrables énigmes, l'homme s'est efforcé de chercher des réponses, tant dans la science et les expériences de la vie courante, que dans l'art ou la philosophie. Du formidable éparpillement de connaissances résultant de cette quête est née l'idée de ce Traité des Couleurs. Il offre à la curiosité du lecteur une vision synthétique des phénomènes des couleurs, allant des théories d'Aristote aux récents développements en optique ou en physiologie, et des pratiques artisanales les plus anciennes aux toutes dernières modélisations mathématiques. Une formulation plus précise de la double nature de la lumière, de ses interactions avec la matière ainsi que des nombres, symboles et théories la régissant, est proposée dans la 2e partie de l'ouvrage afin d'offrir une compréhension aussi complète que possible du sujet.

The shift from Victorian to modern style, The Modern Interior reveals, was not as simple and smooth as it is often perceived and the book probes the complicated history behind that transition. Sparke examines the work of such designers as Marcel Breuer, Frank Lloyd Wright, Charles and Ray Eames, and Mies van der Rohe, and draws upon design examples from the United States and Europe to reveal that, unlike the designed exteriors of buildings and institutions, the idea of the “interior” has been a largely abstract conception promoted through exhibitions, retail stores, and mass media. A comprehensive and in-depth investigation of the design environments we live and play in, The Modern Interior will be essential reading for all scholars and interested observers of architecture and modern design culture.

Summary:
This handsome book explores the recent use of figurative characteristics in the design arts. Through digital literacy and enhanced fabrication techniques, this avant-garde movement has reintroduced hybrids of methods and ideologies that were once considered too ornamental in character or too handcrafted for the 20th-century minimalist design lexicon. Both large urban-scale architecture and the small domestic realm of design are employing this avant-garde vocabulary formally and figuratively in the terms of shapes and surfaces that evoke trees, tornadoes, parasols, photography, death, illness, food, music, and sensuality.
