Postiglione, Gennaro — The Architect's Home

Taschen, Koln, Germany, 2013. New Edition, Brown Plastic Laminated Boards. Fine Condition/Fine. 9783836544870 Titles & contents list to front. The 100 houses presented here not only show a broad spectrum of building styles and interior designs, but also tell 100 individual stories of architects and their own four walls, opening a new window on the history of twentieth-century European architecture. The greatest challenge in designing homes is negotiating the delicate balance between aesthetics and the personal desires of the occupants. While its important for the structure to reflect the vision and style of the architect, the client must ultimately feel at home beneath the roof. It is particularly interesting, therefore, to examine the homes that architects create for themselves. If houses reflect their owners personalities, then architects own homes are like autobiographies. Location, layout, style, lighting, artwork, furnishings-every detail adds color to the story. Each of these dwellings, presented A-Z by architect, speaks more about its designer than any other building possibly could. First Thus. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. 480 pages.
