Résumé:
Once no more than gathering spots with domestic interiors, cafes and bars have evolved into places for relaxation where people go to escape the monotony of everyday life. Seen in this light, the design of a bar's interior is crucial: it's a setting that has to stir the senses, generate a great atmosphere and help create an unforgettable night out. The 40 innovative projects featured in "Behind Bars" are proof that more and more designers rely on high-tech solutions to produce a look geared to these demands. Their interiors not only demonstrate a high level of creativity and variety but also push the limits of style theme and materials. The result is one spectacular space after another. Each cafe or bar in the book is accompanied by quality images, floor plans and a full description based on an interview with each of the designers. "Behind Bars" is an inpsiring compilation of today's trends in bar design.

Cet ouvrage, qui se déploie sur plusieurs niveaux à l'instar d'un parking, compte quatre séquences : lumière, matière, façade et programme. Les analyses des divers projets dévoilent les projets historiques ou récents les plus marquants en s'appuyant sur des photographies, des plans et des schémas.

Résumé:
In this lucid and creative work, Sandoval-Strausz, an assistant professor of history at the University of New Mexico, situates the rise of hotels within the history of the triumph of capitalism and of an increasingly mobile society. Hotels, he says, facilitated mobility and the integration of frontier lands into larger networks of capital and commerce. Hotels were also part of the gradual process that dissociated people from particular places. If hotels solved some social problems, Sandoval-Strausz shows, they created others: guardians of domesticity, for example, worried about urban dwellers who chose to live full-time in hotels. In exploring the social and political meaning of hotels, the author pursues countless avenues, from menus to morals (Hotels were magnets for prostitution and other forms of illicit sex). There's a bit of labor history thrown in, too, since, in order to make good on the promise to be patrons' home away from home, hotels employed a huge number of workers, from cooks and launderers to janitors, Sandoval-Strausz also traces hotels' exclusion of Jews and blacks—the book ends with the 1964 Supreme Court case that desegregated public accommodations.

Résumé:
Elaborately conceived, grandly constructed insane asylums�ranging in appearance from classical temples to Gothic castles�were once a common sight looming on the outskirts of American towns and cities. Many of these buildings were razed long ago, and those that remain stand as grim reminders of an often cruel system. For much of the nineteenth century, however, these asylums epitomized the widely held belief among doctors and social reformers that insanity was a curable disease and that environment�architecture in particular�was the most effective means of treatment. In The Architecture of Madness, Carla Yanni tells a compelling story of therapeutic design, from America�s earliest purpose�built institutions for the insane to the asylum construction frenzy in the second half of the century. At the center of Yanni�s inquiry is Dr. Thomas Kirkbride, a Pennsylvania-born Quaker, who in the 1840s devised a novel way to house the mentally diseased that emphasized segregation by severity of illness, ease of treatment and surveillance, and ventilation. After the Civil War, American architects designed Kirkbride-plan hospitals across the country.

Now, for the first time, an internationally renowned photographer takes the reader on a journey to more than 20 of the most historic of these magical places, all architectural treasures. From the dramatic, baroque Library of the Institut de France in Paris, to the splendid Vatican Library in Rome; from the majestic Royal Library in El Escorial, Spain, to the famed New York Public Library, a Beaux-Arts masterpiece-here are some of the most exquisite libraries of the Western world. Included are national, scholarly, and religious libraries from 12 countries, which have in common a distinguished heritage and an architectural setting that emphasizes art and culture. The accompanying text traces the history of libraries to the present day, and describes how they came to serve famous personalities and men of letters. Libraries must be counted among civilization's crowning achievements; this elegant book is a fitting tribute to that accomplishment.
