Summary:
The book serves as a histirical survey of architectural lighting throughout the twentieth century and also examines the cultural, social, and artistic issues surrounding this phenomenon. During the 1920's and 1930's architectural floodlighting was at its most intense, considered an essentially modern abstract art form that crossed the boundaries between film, architecture, and painting. "Architecture of the Night" explores this dynamic period in depth, considers its impact today, and addresses the new issues that confront contemporary lighting, such as "light pollution", conservation, and aesthetics. The book features close to 200 illustrations and examines 100 examples of building illumination, including the Paris Opera House (1880), the Gas and Electric Building, Denver (1910), the Empire State Building, New York (1931), the Seagram Building, New York (1958), the Lloyds Building, London (1988) and the Anzeiger Hochhaus, Hanover (2000).

Summary:
With the exception of poster art, French graphic design has enjoyed little recognition on the international stage – until now. This new book tells the story of the development of design in the France. French graphic design has thrived on a multitude of external influences from places as far afield as Russia, Switzerland, Poland, Germany and Hungary. The designers here are legendary artists, actually some of the world’s most revered: French artists and artists who made Paris their home - Man Ray, Brassai, Cassandre, Leger, Duchamp, Mallarme to name just a few. "Graphic design in France" documents the emergence of graphic design as a culture in France and illustrates how it has come to the fore in recent years with a great burst of vitality in poster art, typography, editorial design, magazine design, information graphics, multimedia and television. This book places the tradition of French graphic design amidst the greater aesthetic languages of fine art, iconography, urban architecture, sculpture, communication art, fashion, literature, and much more.
