Fire, Crime and Accident: Fire Departments, Police Stations, Rescue Services	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Chris van Uffelen Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2012	PDF, 256 страниц, 7.68 МБ 0 Оценка:
Architecture for rescue services has come a long way in the past decade. Buildings for the police, fire brigades and ambulance stations have lost their often purely functional and shed-like appearance and have begun to strive for recognition as an equitable architectural typology since Zaha Hadids trailblazing Vitra fire station in Weil am Rhein. This building type certainly is a challenge as there are numerous conditions to be taken into account in terms of functionality and especially security. The examples chosen for this title show an amazing diversity of emergency architecture. The buildings presented frequently house more than one institution, using the latest technology and communication techniques to successfully combine different functions under one roof. The projects included range from the rural two-bay ambulance depot to police headquarters and airport fire departments.

French Naturalist Painters: 1890-1950	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Emmanuel Van de Putte Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2012	DjVu, 204 страницы, 8.16 МБ 0 Оценка:
A spotlight on French landscape painters of the early twentieth century. Most of the painters collected here have remained uncelebrated for far too long. This catalogue aims to repair this oversight, as well as to reignite the study of this generation of French painters who concentrated primarily on the traditional genre of landscape and still life. The eighty works of art, mainly painted between the wars, are at the crossroads of the many influences of this creative period, where tradition and the avant-garde blended together without restraint. This panorama of Douce France signals the last breath for this pictorial style, which was the inheritor and continuation of the Impressionist movement — a status that was bound to be lost forever after the Second World War.

Paris by Hollywood	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Antoine De Baecque Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2012	PDF, 320 страниц, 9.60 МБ 8 Оценка:
This beautifully nostalgic and wonderfully insightful volume examines Tinseltown's fascination with the City of Light, from silent movies through to modern blockbusters. Romantic, elegant, and enticing, Paris has fascinated American filmmakers for over a century. As habile in accommodating a romantic comedy as an action-packed thriller, it is by far the foreign city that appears most frequently in Hollywood movies. In Paris by Hollywood, eminent film commentators uncover Hollywood's role in the cultivation of now timeless Parisian cliches, examining seminal films such as An American in Paris, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Sabrina. Chapters on Audrey Hepburn's Parisian persona; Disney's and Woody Allen's personifications of Paris; and the American fascination with the enigmatic, glamorous Parisienne explore a cultural relationship that owes as much to the allure of Paris itself as to Hollywood's desire to paint a picture of European exoticism. Interviews with eminent figures including Martin Scorsese, Julie Delpy, and Leslie Caron provide intimate insider's perspective. Insightful analysis explores the reasons why Hollywood invests so much in depicting the French capital — an often mutually beneficial economic and cultural relationship. Covering more than 100 years of moviemaking, Paris by Hollywood is the perfect companion for lovers of American cinema and those captivated by the magic of the French capital.

Muses: Women Who Inspire	Thames and Hudson
Автор: Abdelouahab Farid Hamed Издательство: Thames&Hudson, 2012	PDF, 240 страниц, 7.20 МБ 8 Оценка:
I have never seen you without thinking that I should like to pray to you, the world-renowned poet and writer Rainer Maria Rilke once confessed to his one time lover, friend, and mentor Lou Andreas-Salome, who played muse not only to Rilke but also to Nietzsche and Freud. For centuries, artists have been inspired by muses to create poignant works of art and literature; this beautifully illustrated volume is a celebration of these women and the artists they influenced. American Lee Miller was a successful New York fashion model before traveling to Paris to become the apprentice, lover, and muse of surrealist artist and photographer Man Ray; Nancy Cunard, British writer, heiress, and political activist, captivated numerous members of the twentieth century's art and literary circles, including Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot; and Parisian-born artist and poet Dora Maar had a profound influence on the work of her notorious lover, Pablo Picasso. While the lives of these women were very different in most senses, they shared the ability to awaken fervor within some of the world's greatest artists and to influence the work of their Pygmalions. The collaboration of these interwoven destinies continues to fascinate historians, art appreciators, and general readers alike. Farid Abdelouahab depicts some twenty-five women who, through their temperament, beauty, talent, and pure magnetism, enthralled society's artistic geniuses and thus inspired the creation of some of the greatest works of the past centuries.

Types of outlet featured include fashion, accessories, opticians, technology, food and confectionary. The book is divided into three sections: small shops, smaller shops and tiny shops. Each section begins with an interview with a designer of a small shop, explaining the creative opportunities and difficulties in greater detail.
