Описание: The essential purpose of a staircase is utilitarian: to facilitate ascent and descent. Yet the design of even the simplest stair is complex, requiring great knowledge, skill and ingenuity. This volume showcases the astonishing diversity of staircases over the centuries, from the stepped pyramids of the Maya to the exquisitely proportioned stairs of the Renaissance, to the elaborate balustraded confections of the Baroque period, to the virtuosic, computer-aided designs of today. A superb range of photographs, many specially taken for this publication, illustrates clear and accessible written surveys by specialist architectural historians. From Renaissance masterpieces, the sweeping curves of Art Nouveau, the functional beauty of the Bauhaus, to high-tech contemporary dream creations, the staircase is a powerful emblem of technological and artistic achievement. Architectural tours de force all, often charged with religious, mystical and hierarchical meaning, these staircases are inherently dynamic, as is every page of this fascinating and beautifully illustrated book.
This is the complete Spanish translation of the Complete Guide to Decorating with Ceramic Tile----America's best-selling book on tile installation. Like the English edition, this book features complete instructions for all types of ceramic tile installations for floors, countertops, walls, and even decorative outdoor applications. A perfect reference not only for the growing market of Spanish-speaking DIY homeowners, but also for the established and growing community of Spanish-speaking tradesmen.
