ISBN: 9780415221986 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This evidence is then used to discuss the social practices and domestic arrangements that characterized Romano-British elite society. The author also looks to the ancient world at large, to see if there are similarities or contrasts which can illuminate Romano-British findings. Fully...

The Italian Renaissance Palace Façade: Structures of Authority, Surfaces of Sense
ISBN: 9780521624381 / Angielski / Twarda / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The architectural facade -- a crucial and ubiquitous element of traditional cityscapes -- addresses and enhances the space of the city, while displaying or dissembling interior arrangements. Burroughs traces the development of the Italian Renaissance palace facade as a cultural, architectural and spatial phenomenon, and as a new way of setting a limit to and defining a private sphere. He draws on literary evidence and analyses of significant Renaissance buildings, noting the paucity of explicit discussion of the theme in an era of extensive architectural publishing.

The Modern American House: Spaciousness and Middle Class Identity
ISBN: 9780521770132 / Angielski / Twarda / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sandy Isenstadt examines how architects, interior designers, and landscape designers worked to enhance spatial perception in middle class houses visually. The desire for spaciousness reached its highest pitch where it was most lacking, in the small, single-family houses that came to be the cornerstone of middle class life in the nineteenth century. In direct conflict with actual dimensions, spaciousness was linked to a tension unique to the middle class - between spatial aspirations and financial limitations. Although rarely addressed in a sustained fashion by theorists, practitioners, or the...
