New Shops And Boutique

New Shops And Boutiques

Language: English

With the increasingly important cultural role being placed upon shops and boutiques in today's competitive retail environment, the need to provide new and innovative shopping experiences has brought about a redefinition of simple consumerism. Fashion spaces have taken on the role of the museum, presenting product collections as if they were displaying works of art. With this new emphasis on the role of the retail space comes the architectural challenge of creating multifunctional, customizable shells that can be renewed to meet the needs of every seasonal collection.

New Shops & Boutiques takes us inside more than 40 contemporary projects that have captured the public's attention and recognition, thanks to their exceptional interior and exterior architecture and design. From Giorgio Armani and the Sony Tower Showroom, to John Pawson and WonderWall Inc., this shopping tour around the world presents a comprehensive selection of the market's most outstanding commercial spaces and designers. And with more than 500 full-color photographs, New Shops & Boutiques is sure to provide an indispensable guide for the storeowner and architect alike

The Dome : A Study in the History of Ideas

E. Baldwin Smith, Shubhi Publications

There was a time when the author optimistically believed that he could present the major aspects of domical ideology and evolution in one study. That, however, was before the rapidly expanding complexities of the subject and the difficulties of organizing the material in a written from where the ideas would not be reburied under a mass of accumulated evidence has become inescapable factors. Once it has become evident that the dome was  not just a utilitarian form of vaulting, which has originated for structural and environmental reasons in some one country, but was primarily a house concept which has acquired in numerous cultures its shape and imaginative values upon an ancestral shelter long before it was translated for ideological reasons into more permanent and monumental form by means of wood carpentry and masonry, the whole problem of the dome opened up into a comprehensible but infinitely complex chapter in the history of ideas.
