Summary:
What decisions lie behind the way a book is designed? How are readers of books helped or hindered by the choices that a designer, publisher, or printer has made in presenting an author's text to its intended audience? Are there any lessons we can learn from a study of the books that have been produced in previous centuries? In this stimulating and generously illustrated volume, Alan Bartram, a distinguished book designer and typographer, answers many of these questions and provides his personal view of some of the successes and failures of his predecessors. He looks with fresh eyes at a varied range of books published in western Europe and America in the last half-millennium, concerning himself in particular with readability, function, and clarification of meaning. He also discusses how different elements of text, decoration, and illustration were combined in the layout of the printed page, and he comments on whether the resultant design is successful.

Beginning with the early, pre-canonical material, she demonstrates that the relatively late emergence of the Doric and Ionic orders arose from contributions of separate(...)

Summary:
Barletta’s study examines both forms of evidence in an effort to reconcile the two sources, as well as to offer a coherent reconstruction of the origins and development of the Greek architectural orders. Beginning with the early, pre-canonical material, she demonstrates that the relatively late emergence of the Doric and Ionic orders arose from contributions of separate regions of the Greek world, rather than from a single center. Barletta’s reinterpretation of the evidence also assigns greater importance to the often overlooked contributions of Western Greece and the Cycladic Islands.

This book considers the roles of primitivism and nationalsim in Belgian Art Nouveau architecture and design. It contextualizes the architecture and and decorative arts produced between 1880 and 1910 within contemporary discussions on solutions to housing and living in the modern era, and examines how the image of the country was tied to a patrimony of handmade goods, the housing tradition of the peasant, and the modernity of the garden city.

Summary:
Frederick J. Kiesler - architect, sculptor, painter, designer, set designer and art historian. Kiesler was tireless in his pursuit of a radical new concept of interior spaces: his dream was a polydimensional living space, an organic continuum in which colour, form and light, combined with magical and mythical themes, would create a unique cosmos. His so-called Endless House stayed with him all his life; although it was never realised it still fascinated and influenced other architects and artists more than many 'real' 20th century buildings. The publication "Endless Space" has been produced in cooperation with the Austrian Frederick and Lillian Kiesler Private Foundation.

Summary:
The depiction of architecture through language: few contemporary architects have pursued this issue so pointedly and steadfastly as Wolf D. "Prix of the Vienna studio Coop Himmelb(l)au. Texts play a prominent role in the award-winning architectural office's creative output. Get off of my cloud" gathers together the first representative selection of writings including programmatic contributions, aphorisms, interviews, polemics, speeches, and lectures. The texts, written in the time from 1968 to 2005, open a multitude of insights into the theoretical and artistic content of the expansive work of Coop Himmelb(l)au. They likewise illuminate the work of other architects and pose provocative questions for architecture, art, and politics.
