Описание: British architecture is experiencing an unprecedented period of vibrancy and international recognition. This book puts the current range of design trends in Britain in a cultural and geographic context by referring to developments in British architecture found in continental Europe and elsewhere abroad. The numerous illustrations and plans show buildings as an integral part of urban development that respond to the needs that face European and other cities at the end of the 20th century: postwar reconstruction, population growth, public transport and other pressing factors. "New Urban Environments" features spectacular examples of key urban building types designed by some 50 leading architects and engineers working in Britain and Europe, such as Foster and Partners, Ricrd Rogers Partnership, and Zaha Hadid. The book includes approximately 85 cultural buildings, commercial districts, transport interchanges, educational and environmental centres. Each section illustrates key projects with drawings, photographs, models and/or computer renderings and provides an overview of the site's development history. A number of comparative projects by non-British architects are described in brief, putting British architecture in a European context. Descriptive texts explain the selection criteria for each project and include reasons for the new development, design constraints and a summary of critical comments on the schemes, particular attention being paid to the environmental design aspects of the projects.

Описание: An extraordinary group of Nasca miniature objects - exquisite works produced in ancient Central and South America for personal adornment, ritual use, and
burial - resides in the renowned Glassell Collection of Pre-Columbian Art. Dating from about 600 A.D., the Nasca miniatures were reported to have been found together in the Ica Valley
of the south coast of present-day Peru. Beautifully crafted from gold, silver, shell, and semiprecious stones, most of these objects were carved from or have elements of spondylus shell,
a rare mollusc.
Frances Marzio brings the Nasca culture vividly to life through her insightful discussion of diverse artworks from the collection - from effigies of warriors and
trophy heads to females and a menagerie of animals - focusing on these fascinating treasures as a group for the first time.
