About the Item

Masterpieces: Chalet Architecture + Design von Galindo. Michelle Gebundene Ausgabe Hardcover. German, English, French. Hardcover with dust jacket, 304 pages, 450 pictures. 1st Edition 2010, out of print. The coming together of the forces of mountainous landscapes and architecture finds a unique expression in the chalet cottage. The singularity of location captures the imagination of architects and designers with spectacular houses and unusual interiors. Light-flooded rooms with giant panoramic windows may be juxtaposed with archaic forms; homey parlours contrast against unusual implementation of stone and concrete. Country houses are becoming more popular as the urban stress rises around the globe – living in the countryside means giving a piece of peace back and connecting back to nature. The rural retreats offer a refuge in nature from the hustle and bustle of daily urban life. The natural settings offer challenges and opportunities at the same time. Whether high mountains, canyons, or cliffy coasts, this volume showcases 60 of the best of contemporary country houses designs worldwide, featuring the work of well-known architects and innovative designers who pay their respect to nature – through sustainable construction methods and an esthetic style that appreciates and highlights the beauty and uniqueness of each landscape.

Furniture by Architects Foreword by Stephen Crafti (Book)
Located in North Yorkshire, GB
'Furniture by Architects' reveals how the same fundamental principles used in building design can be applied on a much smaller scale, resulting in pieces of furniture that embrace function, beauty and context to become objects of art. For centuries, architects have turned their hand to custom furniture in a practice that has resulted in a number of iconic designs, including the timeless Eames Lounge and Ottoman and the ubiquitous Barcelona chair created by Mies van der Rohe for his acclaimed Barcelona Pavilion. 'Furniture by Architects' beautifully illustrates bespoke design by some of the world s leading architects, who are increasingly designing furniture as clients seek interiors customised to specific needs. Foster + Partners' 520 Armchair for Walter Knoll has the texture and comfort found in a traditional leather armchair, while the Liquid Glacial Dining & Coffee Table by Zaha Hadid Design...
