Présentation de l'éditeur :
An essential tool for architects, interior designers, set designers
and related professionals, this book offers a rich library of visual
references for every research need. An illustrated glossary of
technical terms offers a vocabulary for professional communication and
a comprehensive index of subject matter and materials makes it easy to
find just the image you need.
How do courses of brickwork
accommodate the shape of an arch? Exactly what happens at the
intersection of two stone walls? What is the profile of a molding where
a cornice wraps around the corner of a building? Solving these problems
with style and elegance is the hallmark of good design; the resulting
solutions are the structural and decorative details that are emblematic
of historic periods and become the signatures of individual styles and
designers.
This addition to the acclaimed Surfaces
series catalogues hundreds of different architectural features. Its
more than 1,400 high-quality colour photographs capture the texture,
colour, grain and shape of architectural details organized by subject:
walls, facades, ornament and molding, columns, posts and arches,
windows, doorways, ceilings and roofs, floors and pavement.
• The 2 CD-ROMs include easy-to-use screen-resolution TIFF files of every image and the complete glossary of terms.
