Description:
Listed in Hill's 'Buildings in Print: 100 influential and inspiring illustrated architecture books', this book is a graphic guide to ornaments in the twentieth century. It unveils the function of ornament as the agent for specific affects, dismantling the idea that ornament is applied to buildings as a discrete or non-essential entity. The book looks at recently built buildings and their use of: cladding; screens and screening; surface pattern; colour; light to add ornament. The drawings in this book are entirely the work and interpretation of students at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. 189 p. : chiefly ill. ; 23 cm. Slight shelf wear to edges, no inscriptions, tight and square binding. Photographs available on request. All books dispatched same or next working day in robust packaging.
