 | | Not only does The International Book of Lofts trace the rise of lofts — from practical workshops-cum-living spaces for artisans and artists to the self-important style statements of writers, fashion designers, and accountants — it is also a photographic compendium of solutions to the antagonistic problems of light, space, and privacy. |
 | | Ranging widely from city to city, from minimalist temple to faux-Medici palazzo, the authors even find room to consider those purpose-built houses and apartments that borrow from the loft aesthetic. |
 | | A Visual Dictionary of Architecture is a remarkable, one-of-a-kind compendium which uses a combination of textual definitions and hundreds of superb line drawings to illuminate a comprehensive body of essential terms in architecture, including important interrelationships between building components. |
