Summary:
Martin Heideggers philosophical works devoted themselves to challenging previously held ontological notions of what constitutes "being", and much of his work focused on how beings interact within particular spatial locations. Frequently, Heidegger used the motifs of homelessness and homecoming in order to express such spatial interactions, and despite early and continued(...)

Summary:
As far back as the earliest Greek temples, color has been an integral part of architecture but also one of its least understood elements. Color theory is rarely taught in architecture schools, leaving architects to puzzle out the hows and whys of which colors to select and how they interact, complement, or clash. 'Color for Architects' is profusely illustrated and(...)
