Georgis&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Written by&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.randomhouse.com/author/results.pperl?authorid=161966&quot;&gt;William T. Georgis&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.randomhouse.com/author/results.pperl?authorid=154932&quot;&gt;Donald Albrecht&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.randomhouse.com/author/results.pperl?authorid=161967&quot;&gt;Natalie Shivers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hardcover&lt;/b&gt;, 240 pages | The Monacelli Press | Architecture - Individual Architects &amp; Firms - Monographs; Architecture - Interior Design | &lt;b&gt;$60.00&lt;/b&gt; | June 4, 2013 | 978-1-58093-331-5 (1-58093-331-9)&lt;p&gt;Sumptuous and scrupulous in equal measure, the work of William T. Georgis is a glamorous blend of high-style architecture and expressive, innovative applications of the traditions of the decorative arts. In the twenty years since he founded his namesake firm, Georgis has created a dazzling portfolio consisting primarily of houses and apartments; other projects include restaurants, commercial interiors, and galleries. Georgis melds elegant architecture, imaginative furniture and fixtures (often custom-designed), and a layered assembly of art and objects with what he terms &quot;a bit of magic.&quot; A thoughtful eclecticism, informed by an extensive knowledge of art, architecture, and the decorative arts, characterizes all his work.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The first monograph on Georgis, &lt;i&gt;Make It Fabulous&lt;/i&gt; presents sixteen houses and apartments in New York City, Long Island, Florida, Montana, and California. All the residences were designed around important art collections and often include specially commisioned pieces. Among the projects showcased are Georgis's own homes, a smoked-glass townhouse in New York and a vacation house that hangs over the bay in La Jolla, California. Also included in the volume are Chinatown Brasserie, a theatrical eatery in lower Manhattan, and the interiors of historic Lever House, a respectful restoration of a modern masterpiece.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Along with lavish, large-scale photography, each project features the architect's trenchant commentary on the architecture, the decoration, and the process. Perceptive essays by design historians Donald Albrecht and Natalie Shivers illuminate Georgis's relationships with his clients, or &quot;patrons,&quot; and the creation of narratives in his work. Multifaceted and multilayered, just like the work, this inventive volume is a virtuoso tutorial in the world of fabulous.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

For decorators, however, vacation homes mean just the opposite&amp;mdash;they provide the opportunity to bring work home as they roam the globe, honing their design sensibilities and expanding collections of treasures. &lt;i&gt;Designers Abroad&lt;/i&gt; takes the reader on a tour of the world, from Sri Lanka to South Africa to Sweden, by peeking into the gorgeously appointed homes of renowned interior designers. In lively and dynamic text, Michele Keith explores how they incorporate the distinct and native character a foreign land into their second homes, all the while expressing personal style. Embracing new cultures&amp;rsquo; climates, architectural traditions, and indigenous art, fabrics, and furniture, each designer creates a space at once comfortable and glamorous, a place of solace and inspiration.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;Designers Abroad&lt;/i&gt; offers inside peeks into residences ranging from a chic studio in Paris to a house perched on windswept cliffs in Nova Scotia, from a beachside abode nestled among boulders in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, to a former monastery outside Rome dating back to the fifteenth century. Each project is accompanied by the story of how its design was conceived and executed, and how the attributes of each country inspired its owners&amp;mdash;including Lars Bolander, Alessandra Branca, Clodagh, Timothy Corrigan, Mica Ertegun, Fisher Weisman, Juan Pablo Molyneux, Juan Montoya, and Cortney and Robert Novogratz, among others. &lt;i&gt;Designers Abroad&lt;/i&gt; demonstrates how these designers incorporate their passion for travel into their own interiors, and thus inspires readers to add a touch of the exotic to their own homes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

Yet is is simultaneously much more: a philosophical rumination on art and politics, good and evil. With aid from a new introduction by influential American architect Robert A. M. Stern, Krier candidly confronts the great difficulty of disentangling the architecture and urbanism of Albert Speer from its political intentions.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Krier bases his study on interviews with Speer just before his death. The projects presented center on his plan for Berlin, an unprecedented modernization of the city intended to be the capital of Europe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

Whether recovering Biedermeier chairs in zebra hide and slipper chairs with repurposed Indian saris found on their travels or finishing formal dining rooms in rich chocolate lacquer, Fisher Weisman subverts expectations to create truly extraordinary interiors. &lt;i&gt;Artful Decoration &lt;/i&gt;showcases the exquisite work of this San Francisco&amp;ndash;based design firm, revealing the imagination, meticulous attention to detail, and the sense of humor with which they infuse every home. &lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; Beguiling touches finish off rooms designed with an enviable knowledge of form, proportion, color, and history to bring traditional spaces into the present and create livable, fresh interiors with an artisanal flair. &lt;i&gt;Artful Decoration &lt;/i&gt;features thirteen residences ranging from small but lavish pieds-&amp;agrave;-terre to airy Californian estates, from elegant penthouses to one especially elaborate tree house.&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;Two hundred vivid, full-color illustrations reveal these and many other unexpected pleasures on every page to delight the eye and inspire the imagination.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

In 1832, the first bridge across the river was constructed. In 1834, the first moveable bridge was erected. Today, Chicago is home to nearly 40 moveable bridges and some 60 bridges in all, making it the most bridge-rich city in the world. The River and its bridges have done much to shape the history of Chicago, which has grown from a rough-and-tumble trading outpost to a world-class city known for its architecture. Chicago's Bridges traces the evolution of the city's bridges, from the origins of the unique bascule bridges that punctuate the Chicago River to the splendidly designed bridges that lend Chicago its reputation as one of the great architectural destinations of the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

Though many of these grand homes have been lost, scores more still exist, some as National Memorial sites, National Historic Landmarks, or National Historic Places. Award-winning historian Robin Lattimore explores the history of antebellum plantations in this concise and colourful guide to the working estates that dotted the U.S. landscape before the Civil War, many of which still remain. Whether Greek Revival, Federal, or Tidewater in style, antebellum plantations were grand and stately, reflecting the wealth and power of their often slave-owning landowners. From an examination of the architecture of antebellum plantations to a look at the plantation system and its effects of the South, Antebellum Plantations is a beautiful account of these windows to the past.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

Emerging from the Enlightenment spirit of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Thomas Jefferson, the English picturesque folly, and the forest retreats of Scandinavian modernists, these projects inspire contemplation and creativity in their spatial energy and alliance with the environment. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The book features fifty structures, including work by internationally recognized firms such as Arata Isozaki &amp;amp; Associates, Heatherwick Studios, Patkau Architects, Steven Ehrlich Architects, TEN Arquitectos as well as innovative young studios in all parts of the world: Norway, United Kingdom, Austria, Chile, Germany, Ecuador, Finland, Taiwan, Spain, Canada, Netherlands, United States, Czech Republic, France, and Switzerland.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;International in scope and focused on design excellence, this collection of exquisite buildings will appeal to all who yearn for a place of their own, a retreat in which to regroup and reprioritize. Together these small structures are the contemporary interpretation of the folly, the small building nestled in the landscape, a place apart.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

Each tour begins with a brief historical sketch of the town, then, with the aid of a detailed map, guides the reader/walker to some 60 sites over a leisurely but carefully plotted two-and-a-half to three-and-a-half hour stroll. We visit churches and jails, libraries and town halls, theatres and factories, and all manner of houses - homes of startling grandiosity and humble integrity. We become conversant with belvederes and ogee arches, Flemish bond and board and batten, at ease with Regency and Queen Anne, Italianate and Romanesque. And along the way, Ashenburg reveals the town&amp;#8217;s true personality, its distinctive architectural styles, forms and materials, and the genius, ambition, and vanities of its founders and builders.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Every town - Perth, Picton, Cobourg, St. Mary&amp;#8217;s, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Merrickville, Port Hope, Paris, Stratford and Goderich - is a day&amp;#8217;s excursion from Toronto by a car or public transit; most are day-trips from either Ottawa or London. Over 300 black and white photographs capture the highlights; 11 maps show the way. For easy reference, there is a helpful, illustrated Guide to Historical Styles and an exhaustive Glossary of Architectural terms - everything from Apse to Voussoir.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Trade Paperback edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

M. Stern Architects, over its forty-year history and across a wide range of building types, has defined principles common to all projects. Stern articulates the ideas that govern his design process through this rich visual presentation of all types of his work: museums and cultural institutions, colleges and universities, commercial and residential developers, and, famously, private residential clients throughout the United States and Europe.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Evidence&lt;/i&gt; serves as a visual synthesis of Stern's methodologies, revealing  the firm's vision through juxtapositions of building, material and  landscape: &quot;We never think of just the building. We like to think of the next bigger thing&amp;mdash;what other buildings will come next to it, but also the siting and landscaping. Abstract compositional principles do interest me but not when I begin a design. I begin with a cultural assessment of the building as a type, the place it is set in, and lastly its obligations to its particular moment in time.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Through 400 illustrations, Stern illuminates key architectural concepts by examining components: stunning windows harmonizing with their views, elegant entryways, meticulous stonework, homes conversing with their settings. On each page, Stern pairs images that challenge the idea that tradition means statis. Rather, tradition can be interpreted to suit all situations in an increasingly complex world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>

These changes come together and create a city's character and personality.  Renowned Washington, DC, historian James Goode has assembled an incredible collection of images that look back at a Washington before it developed into the international metropolitan city it is today.  The impactful historic photography exposes the elements of the DC metro area that have disappeared: the dairy farms of Loudoun County, the railroad round house in Alexandria, and model boats on the Rainbow Pool on the National Mall, as well as provide startling different views of areas and neighborhoods that still exist.  The majority of these images have never been published, and under the curatorial eye of James Goode have been put together in a way that give readers a better understanding of the city Washington DC was, and the city it was to become.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</description>
