Home. New Directions in World Architecture and Design

Dustwrapper, pictorial glazed boards, stout folio, pp.576.Profusely illustrated with full page and smaller colour plates, architectural drawings and plans. More boardroom than coffee table in size, this sumptuous book explores the influences and issues faced by modern architects and designers through an international array of traditional home design in all its forms, followed by comprehensive essays on some 120 modern homes. Much of the accompanying text, covering the influences and problems faced and overcome with each example, is written by the architects themselves. Slight shelf wear as you might expect with a book this size, but overall a fine copy in dustwrapper. Very heavy book weighing c 4000g when packed, and thus extra postage ( at cost ) will be requested to cover shortfall from default postage quotation. Quote can be given if requested.
